LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship

Product Information

There is no poster with the AT-TE, although the poster which comes with Jabba's Sail Barge also features the Minifigure gallery so you could use that one. If it were that, I doubt you would see the same kind of negativity as far as gut reaction overall. Because frankly the model itself is gorgeous and well-designed. It just missed the mark as far as what people were thinking it ought to be.

By that logic, why would we ever need an USC A-Wing? Those aren't THAT iconic to the general public. For 350 I'd expect (at least some of the following) functioning doors (or optional parts to build it with doors closed), large crew (6+), working cannons maybe (lots of space to hide spring shooters and make the missile magazines auto-rotate when the trigger is pressed), totally different construction techniques - something to differentiate from the previous one and something to show/tell in addition to just the huge wingspan (BTW, folding wings would have been nice too!).

Comparing this model with earlier renditions of the LAAT/i, including 75021 Republic Gunship, further emphasises the outstanding scale of 75309 Republic Gunship. Moreover, the changes between previous Republic Gunship models and this example become obvious, exploiting the increased size to include details and aesthetic features which have been missing from smaller designs. Ironically, those are historically the two most neglected OT TIEs. For the TIE Interceptor, the very first version was one of the first two UCS sets ever produced, and it has not seen an update in over 20 years. To put that in perspective, not only is the most recent UCS TIE Interceptor old enough to drink, but there are SW AFOLs who have lived their entire lives without a UCS TIE Interceptor being available at retail. The second Interceptor was a mini that was exclusive to Japan, though I believe it did eventually see a regular polybag release (the Boba Fett Slave I from the same promotion did not). I believe it was the last TIE to receive a minifig-scale release, and most of those have been based on Disney fanfic. Fill out an Inventory Change Request ( ?) [ Show Inv Item IDs ] if you found an error in this inventory. Lastly, we have two Super Battle Droids, which are exactly the same as they have been since 2007, cast in pearl dark grey. In this set, they are equipped with the standard arms rather than with the cannon arm which was included in 8018 Armoured Assault Tank (AAT). However, despite these few problems, which are fairly insignificant in my opinion, the set as a whole is brilliant. The minifigure selection is wonderful and includes some very desirable characters which are either brand new or perfect for army building. There are several notable improvements over the previous versions of the vehicle, particularly from the point of view of durability, which has been greatly improved by the increased amount of Technic construction used for keeping the structure firm.

Based on my read of the review, it sounds like both minifigs are unique. Made has sand-colored spots on his outfit to represent dust from the Geonosian arena, and the Clone has bright-light-orange deco compared to primary yellow as seen on previous iterations of this design. 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 The picture next to the minifig-scale set is particularly useful; it begs the question: did we really need a gunship bigger than that one...?" 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.Furthermore, the exclusive determined expression looks perfect and I like the pale decoration on the legs. However, the dark brown boots are missing and dual-moulded legs may therefore have proven effective here. This minifigure remains splendid though, inevitably including Mace Windu's distinctive purple lightsaber. It's not really the same at all. You don't have to have seen a Star Wars movie to have an opinion on a ship's aesthetic, especially with an in-depth, photo-heavy review.

Such strength is necessary to brace the mammoth wings, although the doors are constructed next. They comprise plates and tiles which seems surprisingly simple, given their size and the inclusion of multiple narrow viewports. However, the doors and wing supports feel quite sturdy, without requiring complex building techniques or Technic bracing. Assembly commences at the base, which comprises numerous layered plates. This structure feels reasonably strong and will definitely need to be, since the Republic Gunship includes an expansive troop compartment towards the rear. Technic components accordingly surround the open section and the resultant frame begins to emerge during the early stages of construction. 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.One of three LEGO Star Wars sets supposedly on the way for the Ahsoka TV series, 75362 Ahsoka’s T-6 Shuttle is likely to revisit the same subject matter as 2011’s 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle. We’ve already glimpsed the ship in the first trailer for the new series, adding further fuel to the fire. And the minifigure line-up sounds pretty lit too, featuring Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, Huyang (the droid who teaches younglings to build lightsabers) and an Inquisitor with double-bladed lightsaber. 75364 [Ahsoka] UCS are always nice (size, lots of details and/or generally better proportions). Remember the first ever UCS? No minifigs. I will never buy UCS X-Wing / Y-Wing scaled stuff and still wonder who or how many people do when that kind of product only ever appears once or twice per year across all Lego lines. I am sure it has its fans but surely the size of the LAAT/I is over the point where those fans draw the line. Please understand that UCS is not about minifigs, its about the model....!!!!!!! Buy it for the model not for the minifigs..!!!"
