Lego Star Wars Review January 2010: Set 8086 Droid Tri-Fighter
The Droid Tri-fighter is part of LEGO's Star Wars wave for early 2010 and features 268 pieces. Recommended for building for ages 7-12 this set is a re-release of an earlier Droid Tri-Fighter model that came out in 2005 when Star Wars Episode III was released in cinemas.
This set is a re-release of set 7252 and is a huge improvement, literally. The set is bigger and a droid can even sit in the ball in the middle, even though the fighter doesn't need a pilot as it drives itself. The missiles are fired from the bottom and are larger than usual. The set comes with both stickers and printed pieces, the printed pieces being preferable.
The droid tri-fighter comes with special three battle droids, known as Rocket Battle Droids because of their ability to fly round in space with an attached rocket backpack. The droids were first featured in The Clone Wars television series, episode Rising Malevolence when Plo Kloon's clonetroopers, deployed into escape pods, were slowly eliminated by these roving rocket droids.
The set comes with two regular Rocket Battle Droids (also featured in the Hyena Droid Bomber) and one Rocket Droid Commander who is distinguished by a yellow mark on his head and torso. The droids look a little different from the regular tan battle droids, their bodies are a gold color and their limbs a dark gray. The colors of this set are quite beautiful all round, and make a nice departure from all the gray ships we have seen recently.
Priced at $24.99 this is one of the cheaper sets in this new wave and is a fun set to play with, particularly if paired with the ARC-170 set. You always need some separatist ships to make your good guys look good and these droid ships are attractive, easy to manoeuvre and fun to destroy.

How writers can join the podding revolution
If you’ve written a book and are looking to go in to print, then consider ‘podding’ with a publisher who will show you how to make money-selling books online.
‘Podding’ means teaming up with one of the new breed of ‘print-on-demand’ publishers like Dragoncub, who can take a manuscript, edit and format the content quickly and efficiently and have your book ready to print and ship as soon as an order comes in.
This cuts overheads by removing the need for large print runs and storage that comes with traditional book publishing.
Authors can keep a larger slice of the royalties and their rights to the content as a POD publisher only takes a percentage of the retail price to cover printing, marketing and distribution costs.
Publication chances are also increased because the publisher’s risk is reduced because they are not investing huge sums in royalties and pre-sales costs.
This does not mean every book submitted is published, but the POD business model allows the publisher to take more chances with books that may not notch up sales like the Harry Potter series.
Online book publishers also offer a broad selling base, whether it's through their own online bookstore or online giants such as Amazon. They also have access to other distribution channels that reach thousands of retailers, like high street stores, libraries and other online merchants.
For instance Dragoncub, you can publish a hard or soft cover edition of your book or short stories and set your own retail price – you keep 80% of the selling price, which is a far higher royalty than you would earn from a traditional publisher.
If you decide to sell a hard back for £12.99, as the author you will collect £10.39 from each sale without having to repay any advance on royalties.
Dragoncub sells books in more than 40 categories for children and adults and if you are a first-time or a published author, offers a fast and inexpensive way to put your book in front of your readers.
