LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship

Product Information

The figures are what interested me (and I'm sure many others too) here. Anakin looks good; hair is really overused now, but it's quite fitting. Obi Wan looks good too. Padme is the highlight though - that figure is just perfection in my opinion. Love the hair, and I really hope they use it in bley on tha Series 11 Grandma figure! How can I positively comment on something like that ? Can I comment at all or is this review for SW hard core fans only ? I don't follow Ninjago, yet I find some of their sets to be amazing and some not so much. UCS are always nice (size, lots of details and/or generally better proportions). Remember the first ever UCS? No minifigs.

Honestly wish there would have just been a new minifigure/System scale model with 15 minifigures, I'd rather drop money on the Cantina. Beside previous editions of the Republic Gunship, this model is a similar length and wingspan, although the front of the fuselage narrows unlike on the older versions. The bodywork is dramatically different from earlier editions, although the overall shape is of course very similar and this model will look just fine next to one of the older sets in my opinion. My favourite kind of construction is one where you build a section as indicated in the instruction manual and it will only become apparent what its purpose is when you attach it to the rest of the model. Just such an occasion took place here for me while constructing the innards of the vehicle and there are plenty of SNOT (studs not on top) building techniques as well as a nice diversity of orientations for construction.The ship is nice. I'm not much of a Star Wars buff, so I honestly couldn't tell you how if it's inaccurate in any way. It looks like what it's meant to be, and it looks good. However it just doesn't interest me much personally. Another redesign several years in the making, 75357 The Ghost is thought to be an update to the Star Wars Rebels ship for the upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka Disney+ series. There’s no word yet on whether it will include The Phantom, but it will apparently include 465 more pieces than the 2014 set, so it’s not off the table. The set is at least rumoured to include minifigures of Hera Syndulla, Jacen Syndulla, Quarrie and a mystery fifth character. 75359 Republic Swamp Speeder I dunno. Maybe. I know I had that reaction to the Star Destroyer, one of my favorite ships from the OT. I expected a seriously upgraded model with an interior and a load of Imperials…instead it was not that. And two good but only TWO minifigures.

If any or all of these sets sound exciting to you, now’s a great time to catch up on the rest of your LEGO Star Wars wish list (before it gets even longer). The LEGO Group is giving away multiple freebies through May 7, alongside double VIP points on all LEGO Star Wars sets, while other retailers have also slashed prices on sets from a galaxy far, far away. TBOC - Now that I look again you are correct, the 2008 set was the same price in the US. Here in the UK the new model is significantly more expensive. I will clarify that fact in the review. I wonder whether the stormtroopers from this moc with a clone helmet would work well to fill out the troop compartment?

Question: Does the AT-TE come with a poster too? I'd love to have a a minifig poster as well as a Battle of Geonosis poster to go with it. The Bomber has never seen a UCS release, only has one minifig release, and mostly exists in mini form (including its first iteration, which was split between four other sets). I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then. Not sure where you are going to put all of those minifigs . . . they will look horrible with this set . . . way out of scale. I should mention that the length on the plaque is also arguably incorrect, since most canon sources display a length of 17.69 metres rather than 17.4 metres, but that information does vary somewhat. StarWars.com, for instance, shows 17.69 metres while the plaque reads 17.4 metres."

The first minifigure-scale LEGO Republic Gunship since 2013 is said to be on the way in September – but it apparently won’t turn out quite the way you’d expect. Instead of being yet another gleaming white gunship, 75354 Republic Gunship is rumoured to be mostly dark red, inspired by the Coruscant Guard variant seen in The Clone Wars. The minifigure line-up is expected to consist of Chancellor Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, two Coruscant Guard Clone Troopers and Clone Commander Fox. 75357 The Ghost I do love the clone wars but somehow I am underwhelmed by this. It doesn't offer a lot more functionalities than the playsets and the playsets work better with minifigs as well. They could have done more of the internal mechanics like they showed on the introduction. So I would rather wait for another LAAT playset release and spend a bit more money to buy 2 to make a nice diorama. The considerable size of this troop compartment requires supports that are not present during the movies. The designer has therefore extended the onboard computer terminal, which partly disguises another Technic beam. While complete accuracy would be wonderful, disguising this structural support using the onboard terminal and cargo netting is ingenious! It's also quite odd that they just went with red on the troop compartment floor. It is pointed out in the review as an inaccuracy but not criticized. If there's no red there, then why use it? They should've used grey grille pieces or something.An enormous Technic structure continues towards the rear, extending the fuselage further and revealing the mammoth size of this model. Nevertheless, the frame remains sufficiently robust, reinforcing both door braces which are secured here. Conversely, the section behind the troop compartment comprises traditional plates, only supported at each end using Technic elements. When complete, this is an impressive vehicle from just about every angle. When in action in Episode II, the Republic Gunship inspires awe as it cleaves through swathes of Battle Droids with ease, thus making the ship particularly popular. The LEGO model is very accurate, and is filled with features, so as well as being an attractive display piece, it is also fun to play with.
