LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship

Product Information

Each wing is attached using one Technic axle, matching 75021 Republic Gunship. While such construction techniques are relatively simple, these axles provide ample support. Furthermore, the Technic elements are wholly concealed when the building process is complete, resembling 75275 A-wing Starfighter in this regard. This is unsurprising, since both models were designed by Hans Burkhard Schlömer. I wonder whether the stormtroopers from this moc with a clone helmet would work well to fill out the troop compartment?

Absolutely love it. And it's beautiful to finally see something substantial coming from the Prequels from Lego again. I hope it sells well! While these turrets are not bad, I personally think I have found a better solution myself, from the perspective of accuracy to the film at least. You can see my own version of a Republic Gunship side pod turret below, and if anybody is interested in the LDD (LEGO Digital Designer) file, I would be happy to send it. 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."

Let's put this into perspective. The lead designer for Lego SW, who has been doing it for a quarter century, comments it was "a nightmare" to design a set that has been done at least three times before. And then goes on to say "If you want more.. go buy it." 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." 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. How can you negatively comment on something when you yourself admit to having limited knowledge of said content?....its like saying " I've never watched the the show but I think its terrible""

LEGO 75021 Republic Gunship review | Brickset

Thanks, I didn't remember that. Only watched that trilogy once, when it was in theatre, and didn't watch the clone wars/bad batch. I still wouldn't say it's as "famous" as the other SW ships. Just basing on the fact that most non SW fans can identify the other ships, but might not this one." 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. This minifigure also includes decorated legs which look excellent. However, the torso appears somewhat disappointing as LEGO has re-used the Phase II armour design which was created during 2020, befitting an animated Phase II Clone Trooper. The difference between armours is definitely sufficiently pronounced to warrant separate designs, in my opinion. The 2011 SSD had the right idea when it introduced minifigs to giant models, the issue is the model should then incorporate a playset area that is extra detailed, worthy of UCS, even if it can't be scaled correctly. The SSD was just looking too cheap with its bridge displayed and was unable to support an interior in the first place because it is so thin. 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

Overall

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.

Republic Gunship : Set 75021-1 | BrickLink

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. Ultimate Collector Series models invariably provoke excitement, but 75309 Republic Gunship was chosen by LEGO Star Wars fans and has therefore inspired particular anticipation. I think the resultant model has proven worthy of such expectations, fortunately! The creation includes extraordinary detail, taking full advantage of the enlarged scale to capture nearly every feature from the LAAT/i. 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. I think it would be hard to argue that a republic gunship is anywhere near as iconic as an X-Wing or the Millennium Falcon, just based on cultural awareness alone. 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.Republic Gunships are heavily armed, including twin mass-driver missile launchers which are supplied from missile belts. Technic gears connect both belts, allowing them to rotate together beside the missile launchers. The surrounding bodywork includes wonderful detail, particularly since another lime green stripe is suitably located here, complementing those across the nose.
