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. 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." 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." 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.

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. Why can't it be about both? Especially for a model representing a transport ship? It didn't kill the company to put a few more minifigs in the UCS Falcon, did it?"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 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! Value for Money: 4 - With a larger model comes a higher price, although an additional Clone Pilot would have gone some way to justify the cost.However, while there may be pleasing moments, it must also be remembered that as this is a symmetrical vehicle there is a great deal of mirrored building, which can become a little dull at times. Nevertheless, overall the building of the Republic Gunship is enjoyable in the main. The Completed Model 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.

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. 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" 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.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. 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. The model measures 68cm in length, including the forward and rear laser cannons, while the wingspan reaches 73cm! Such enormous size enhances the detailing and accuracy, although displaying the creation might prove challenging. The wingspan introduces particular difficulties, easily exceeding the widths of 75192 Millennium Falcon and 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer.
