LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship

Product Information

And even so... we can have both. There have already been 2 X-Wings, 2 Milennium Falcons, 2 Stard Destroyers, 2 Snow Speeders and 2 Y-wings in UCS scale. So why not allow this vehicle a chance? It is one of the most iconic ships from the prequel trilogy and it's clearly wanted by a lot of people. 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. 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

That scale is also impressive, although displaying this model could prove challenging because its measurements are considerable in every dimension. However, the minifigures are definitely the most significant disappointment. I understand excluding Commander Cody, but the generic Jedi Knight from 7163 Republic Gunship, commonly known as Jedi Bob, should have returned here. 75978 Diagon Alley contained a secret character and providing Jedi Bob using the same method would have been ideal.

Beside the older Republic Gunship the new one looks somewhat out of place as they are structured in quite different ways, although the size is not hugely different. Whereas the 2008 edition was the same width in the fueslage all the way along, this version narrows as you move towards the front as the 'real' ship does. Furthermore, the beloved Republic Gunship was selected to become an Ultimate Collector Series model by LEGO Star Wars fans! The resulting design appears marvellous, capturing accurate shapes with appealing detail which surpasses previous models. The increased scale has undoubtedly proven effective from this perspective. Box and Contents 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.

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. 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. Light bluish grey highlights continue across the rear, where studs become more exposed than elsewhere on the bodywork. The shaping and colour scheme looks splendid though, reflecting the onscreen Republic Gunship. I like the adjustable antipersonnel laser cannon too, above an opening rear hatch which is deployed regularly during Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Yeah I’m recalling with fondness the infamous “tracor beam” on the 2015 UCS Slave I plaque… For a multi Billion dollar company would it bankrupt them to hire a proof reader? Countless excellent vehicles appear throughout the Prequel Trilogy, commonly deviating from the industrial aesthetic established during the Original Trilogy. The powerful Republic Gunship exemplifies such variation, consisting primarily of curved shapes which are faithfully replicated here. Ultimate Collector Series scaling has certainly proven significant in that regard, assuring exceptional accuracy.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. Attractive flame yellowish orange markings distinguish this Clone Commander from standard Clone Troopers, presumably based upon Commander Ponds from the Battle of Geonosis. The colour scheme looks superb and substantially improves upon the equivalent from 75019 AT-TE, where the commander's armour displayed brighter yellow decoration.
