Why Every Star Wars Fan Needs a General Grievous Lego Set in Their Collection
Share
When it comes to the Star Wars prequel trilogy, few characters are as visually striking and menacing as the four-armed cyborg commander. It’s no surprise that the General Grievous Lego sets have become some of the most sought-after pieces for both casual builders and hardcore collectors.
At Delsbricks, we’ve seen plenty of minifigures and brick-built droids, but there’s something uniquely satisfying about the complex engineering that goes into a General Grievous build. Whether you are hunting for the UCS (Ultimate Collector Series) style versions or the classic play-scale starfighters, here’s why this lightsaber-wielding villain remains a top-tier choice for your shelf.
The Evolution of General Grievous in Bricks
Lego has come a long way since the early days of clunky Star Wars designs. The modern General Grievous Lego sets offer incredible articulation. If you’ve ever tried to pose his four arms while clutching four different translucent lightsabers, you know the level of detail we’re talking about.
For collectors at Delsbricks, the appeal lies in the "mechanical" look. Unlike organic characters (like Yoda or Anakin), Grievous is a droid-human hybrid. This makes the Lego medium—with its technical pieces and hinges—the perfect way to represent his skeletal, cybernetic body.
Why is the General Grievous Lego Set So Popular?
-
Unique Minifigure Design: Most Lego minifigures follow a standard mold. Grievous, however, usually features a unique, taller mold with multi-arm functionality. It’s a standout piece in any display case.
-
The "Soupless" Starfighter: Many Grievous sets focus on his sleek, aggressive Starfighter. The build is often aerodynamic and features hidden spring-loaded shooters—perfect for reenacting the escape from Utapau.
-
Investment Value: Star Wars sets, especially those featuring iconic villains like Grievous, tend to hold their value incredibly well. Retirement of these sets often leads to a spike in the aftermarket.
Pro Tip for Builders: Posing Your General Grievous
One common issue builders face is the stability of the legs. If you have the larger buildable figure or a complex minifigure stand from Delsbricks, we recommend slightly offsetting the feet to balance the weight of those four lightsabers.
Remember: Dusting these intricate mechanical parts can be a pain, so a display case is always a good investment to keep your General Grievous looking brand new!
