This is a pretty basic set, but should gain a little more popularity with the new Clone Wars series. If you have this one, you really need the Magna Guard Starfighter set (#7673) as a compliment.
One cool feature is the sliding cockpit, much better than the pry-off canopy on the V-Wing fighter or Obiwan's Episode II Jedi starfighter. The only (slight) drawback with the cockpit design is that it is intended for the Grievous minifig (go figure). Regular minifigs don't fit, so it's really hard to recreate the Episode III scene where Obiwan escapes in Grievous' starfighter.
Here's Grievous (doesn't come with a cape as he did in the set with his wheel bike). There are white arms available on Bricklink.com that have the 90 degree turn on the hands if anyone was interested in a better action pose...
The underside, with the lightsaber storage rack...
The two lasers on the front are moveable if you're concerned about giving Grievous better range of fire.
