LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship

Product Information

One of my favorite SW ships, but not my choice for an UCS treatment. It's too large and too expensive. The previous 1000 to 1500 piece count is perfect for this ship and in minifig scale. For over 3000 pieces, it doesn't add much additional details compare to 1000ish pieces and just look oversized compared to the minifigs provided. I would always prefer UCS capital ships instead." I look at the model and I think it's ugly, that's my opinion :) It's a Lego set and we can all form an opinion on it. Maybe the designer did a good job replicating the model, but end results is the same." Great review, and as a UCS I expected it'll get the 5 stars verdict, but it's a very odd choice for a model. I'm not following SW as I used to, so not sure what this spaceship is but the design of it is quite ugly. I'm surprised it got voted for. It's not as iconic (at least for a non SW fan) as the X-Wing/MF/SD/etc, and not that pretty. I think the larger scale set did it more wrong than good." 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." 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.

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.

Legozrool - As I mentioned in the review, the set is much stronger than the previous editions, which a completely Technic frame as @coson above mentioned.

Absolutely love it. And it's beautiful to finally see something substantial coming from the Prequels from Lego again. I hope it sells well! Ultimate Collector Series models traditionally contain display stands and this model therefore rests on an attractive stand. The angled position appears absolutely outstanding, creating the impression of dynamic motion. In addition, the connection between the Republic Gunship and this display stand feels secure, incorporating simple tabs which slot underneath the vehicle. Ultimate Collector Series products have focused almost exclusively upon Original Trilogy designs which enjoy amazing popularity. The marvellous assortment of Prequel Trilogy subjects has been neglected, increasing the expectation which has preceded 75309 Republic Gunship. But come on Lego, and Imperial logo? I know its not a major issue but that seems so trivial that it wouldn't be a problem. How did that even get that far through production? " Two prominent exhausts are situated between the engine nacelles. They compare favourably with the original vessel, although the engine diagnostics panel that should appear underneath has been omitted. That decision seems strange as shortening both exhausts or elongating the whole armour section would provide adequate space for the diagnostics system.

The minifigures included in this set are going to be one of the main draws for the product as they are excellent and the majority are exclusive. The Anakin Skywalker minifigure is superb, and he looks fairly accurate to his on-screen counterpart. His hairpiece is perhaps the biggest flaw in this minifigure as it is not entirely appropriate when compared with the character as he appears in the film. I must admit however, I am struggling to think of a hairpiece which would suit his unique haircut from Episode II. The head is lovely with printing on both sides. One has a very slight smile, while the other side is printed with a grimace for going into battle. Both sides have brown eyebrows and some cheek definition. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a LEGO Star Wars advent calendar, would it? This year’s seasonal extravaganza is said to be 75366 Star Wars Advent Calendar, and the current minifigure line-up includes a 212th Clone Trooper, an Ewok, a Battle Droid (obvs) and Omega from Star Wars: The Bad Batch – who is so far otherwise exclusive to 75323 The Justifier. 75367 Venator Star Destroyer
