LEGO 75021 Republic Gunship review | Brickset

This is why I didn’t think the gunship was a good choice for UCS - we already had EXTREMELY passable, minifig scale versions of the craft.

The Completed Model

Honestly wish there would have just been a new minifigure/System scale model with 15 minifigures, I'd rather drop money on the Cantina. If any or all of these sets sound exciting to you, now’s a great time to catch up on the rest of your LEGO Star Wars wish list (before it gets even longer). The LEGO Group is giving away multiple freebies through May 7, alongside double VIP points on all LEGO Star Wars sets, while other retailers have also slashed prices on sets from a galaxy far, far away.

Four separate panels are mounted towards the front, using Technic pins. They perfectly adjoin the neighbouring structure around the laser cannons and the wedge plates inside the fuselage, achieving an accurate shape. Additionally, the blending of smooth surfaces and exposed studs will prove important throughout the Republic Gunship. The figures are what interested me (and I'm sure many others too) here. Anakin looks good; hair is really overused now, but it's quite fitting. Obi Wan looks good too. Padme is the highlight though - that figure is just perfection in my opinion. Love the hair, and I really hope they use it in bley on tha Series 11 Grandma figure! 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. 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." For 350 I'd expect (at least some of the following) functioning doors (or optional parts to build it with doors closed), large crew (6+), working cannons maybe (lots of space to hide spring shooters and make the missile magazines auto-rotate when the trigger is pressed), totally different construction techniques - something to differentiate from the previous one and something to show/tell in addition to just the huge wingspan (BTW, folding wings would have been nice too!).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! 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?"
