The verdict

The V-19 has been off shelves since 2008, and this 2025 remake fixes a lot of what bugged me about that original while quietly losing some of its charm.

The ship is stronger, better shaped and genuinely fun to swoosh, but it is the minifigures that got me: Obi-Wan Kenobi here is the best version of the character LEGO has ever made, full stop. If you build for the figures and love the Clone Wars, this is an easy yes. If you want a big, imposing display piece for your money, it will feel small in your hands.

The full review

What it is

The V-19 Torrent is one of those Clone Wars ships that had exactly one LEGO version, way back in 2008, and then vanished for seventeen years. So seeing it come back at 567 pieces with a fresh mould and three minifigures made me sit up. This is not a large set. It is a compact, chunky agile fighter that captures the shape of the on-screen craft nicely and, notably, actually holds together when you pick it up and fly it around the room. The wings pivot and reconfigure, the cockpit sits a clone pilot snugly, and the whole thing has a stocky, purposeful look that I ended up liking more than I expected.

The catch

I will be straight with you about the value, because that is the honest catch here. At 64.99 US the ship feels small when it is sitting on your desk, and it landed in an August 2025 wave where a lot of Star Wars pricing crept up. The 2008 original was actually a physically bigger model with longer wings and a clever mechanism that folded all three wings in sync from flight to landed mode. This remake trades that party trick for a simpler, sturdier design, and it swaps the old spring-loaded shooters for stud blasters, which will annoy anyone who loved firing missiles across the table. When it is parked it looks great. When you try to pose it mid-flight the wings read as a little short and stubby, and it will not balance itself on a flat surface without a stand.

Who it's for

So who lands on this one happily? If you collect Clone Wars minifigures, buy it without much agonizing. Obi-Wan alone is worth a serious look, and pairing him with a brand new clone pilot and Asajj Ventress makes this one of the stronger figure line-ups in the wave. Kids nine and up will get a proper swooshable fighter that survives play. The people I would steer elsewhere are the display-first builders who measure a set by presence on the shelf, and anyone chasing engineering cleverness, because the folding wizardry of the old version is gone. Judge this set by its cockpit and its crew, not by its wingspan, and it delivers.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build runs about 45 minutes and never gets complicated, which makes it a relaxed evening rather than a marathon. It comes together in logical chunks: a solid central body, then the three wings that clip on and pivot into position. Nothing here will teach a veteran a new technique, but it is tidy, it is satisfying, and the finished frame is rigid enough to take real play without pieces popping. That structural strength is a genuine step up from the wobblier 2008 model.

The headline part is the new clone pilot helmet mould, retooled to correctly remove the fin that sits on standard Phase I clone helmets, a small accuracy fix that clone fans will clock instantly. Beyond that, the value is loaded into the printing rather than exotic elements. Obi-Wan carries detailed torso, leg and dual-arm prints including the Jedi Order symbol and a comlink, and both he and the pilot and Ventress feature back printing. For 567 pieces the parts themselves are fairly standard Star Wars greys and whites, so think of the printed figures and that new helmet as where your money is really going.

Fun facts

01This is only the second LEGO version of the V-19 Torrent ever made, following the original 7674 set from 2008, a seventeen year gap between releases.
02The clone pilot uses a brand new helmet mould created specifically to drop the fin found on standard Phase I clone helmets, making it more screen-accurate.
03Reviewers widely called this Obi-Wan a contender for minifigure of the year, describing it as the best version of the character LEGO has produced.
04At 567 pieces the 2025 set actually has 96 more parts than the 2008 original, yet builds into a physically smaller, chunkier ship.
