It's not a UCS but it should be.

I did a full review here with photos:

Here is the closing of that review:

Features
As mentioned above during the build, the head moves, the base rotates, his body opens to reveal his insides. It's supposed to be more of a static display then something to play with. So as it stands, it's not bad. I would've liked to see his head detailed a little more as his "ears" seem a little off for what it should look like, and he's missing his cape.

My rating:
Playability: 1 out of 5. It is pose able. That's it. It's a display.
Design: 4 out of 5. Well done. Just some minor things. Notably the "ears" and maybe his insides could've been done better.
Build experience: 3 out of 5. Easy to build. For 1000+ pieces, it was easy. I guess they rated it for ages 14+ because of the many small pieces, no numbered poly-bags and for having so many pieces.
Overall: 4 out of 5. At $89.99 I might have bought it because I think the way General Grievous is made is be-awesome, but Lego's version isn't worth that price. At $29.98 it's a must have for any Lego Star Wars fan to have.

The Finger Killer

Posted by shinjix2 in United States on 17 March 2009

Got this set for christmas. I put it together the next day and It took me roughly 3 hours (with distractions) Afterwards, my finger ached. Mainly do to the fact that the pieces were all small. It was a challenge and thats what I enjoyed the most.

Pros:
Size
The different configurations you can set it at (2 or 4 arms)
Heavy Duty Base
Detail

Cons:
Set leans forward
Pretty fragile

Awesome

Posted by Olsonman in United States on 24 January 2009

This set is worth $90 and has over 1,000 pieces. If you take the "100 pieces per $10" system, then go for it. The model so detailed-

Pros-
* Tall
* Stand is very detail
* Grevious is very detail
* 4 detailed lightsabers
* Head awesome
* Heart is very relaistic

Cons-
* Legs can break from the feet

4.5/5

This is a very realistic set. Lego made it very accurately.
Pros:
Big
You can split apart the chest plate revealing Grievous's organs!
I like the collector's display card

Cons:
Wobbles when you touch it
Leans forward

I'd highly recommend this set.
