About this deal

The Bomber has never seen a UCS release, only has one minifig release, and mostly exists in mini form (including its first iteration, which was split between four other sets).

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! 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. Not sure where you are going to put all of those minifigs . . . they will look horrible with this set . . . way out of scale. 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 ModelIf 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.

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. 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.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. In this review, I will be taking a look at 75021 Republic Gunship, which was perhaps the most anticipated set of the entire Summer 2013 Star Wars line-up. Much like many of the other sets from this wave, it is only fairly recently that LEGO last produced a Republic Gunship model ( 7676) which was released in 2008. As one of the most prevalent and iconic vehicles from the Prequel Trilogy, previous editions of the Republic Gunship have proved to be very popular indeed, and I would imagine that this set will continue in this vein as it only improves on the earlier models in my opinion.
