    Man, I remember watching Solid Brix’s review on the 2013 Republic Gunship a lot back when I was in middle school, and was so desperate to get that Gunship until I finally got it from my parents on Christmas morning. Now 10 years later I’m still watching Solid Brix, and am looking forward to buying this Gunship soon. Crazy to think how much time has flown by.

    In total agreement. I’ll wait til the figs come up in the aftermarket. If you own the 2013 or 2008 gunship then you’ll understand his sentiment. Those sets were far superior to this and at the time were actually cheaper. I would’ve paid $40 more to have it scaled the same as the last two versions, have proper opening doors and printed ball turrets on the wings.

      While it does suck with the ball turrets finding themselves missing from the set. Technically speaking only a few variants of the Gunship if not a single one had them. And those one's couldn't quite go to space. What is odd is the only time I can remember the Coruscant guard actually using a Gunship fully was in The Mandalorian. And it seemed to have normal colours and the light pods on either side.

  • @Brickwards
    @Brickwards Před 10 měsíci +132

    I actually think that the fact that the newer one is smaller makes it more accurate. In the clone wars you can see clones touching the ceiling of the inside of the gunship but in the 2013 one it's almost impossible for the Minifigures to touch the ceiling. Seams like a great set, I'm only upset for the studs shooters and the color, the Minifigures are ok imo. Great video as always btw

    As someone with not a lot of display space I like that this gunship has been scaled down a bit, especially since it’ll look more size accurate to the figures. I’m also fine with cutting out the extra accessories like a speeder or walker or whatever cause it cuts down the price and I’m not buying the set for the extra speeder or whatever anyway. My only gripe with it looks to be the door situation but I’m still picking this up immediately.

    Being minifigure scale, and thus smaller, is a winner for me. I like the UCS for its accuracy, but the minifigures just look so small. That's the same for the other version to, but to a lesser extent. They were almost minifigure scale.
    I also like that it's unique. We don't get much republics sets that aren't grey. This will look good next to my police gunship.

    Please David make a tutorial on how to improve this gunship. I feel like it can modified somehow to maybe get the proper double sliding doors and to replace the stupid stud shooters with a custom ball turret for the wings (like on Brick Vault's Republic Gunship). Plus, there appears to be a connection point for ball turrets or flood lights to be attached, which LEGO could have included and put in the empty hull space of the Gunship. Also, putting aside the inaccuracies with Fox's minifig, it is too bad that LEGO decided to not include Thorn in the set, who is accurate to the Clone Wars arc.

    The reason the space is so small in the new Gunship is because of the huge doors. It really needs to be modified into 2 separate parts. I'd like to see how it's built to see if it's possible. If it is possible, I'm definitely gonna buy one just for the figures and buy the parts to slowly modify it to look better.

      Having double doors wouldn't necessarily fix this though. For one, the door which would swing to the front would add extra bulk to the front side of the ship, which will ruing the entire look of the ship if you want to display it with the troop bay open AND might even limit access to the troop bay because it would be taking space from where you would usually put your hands to gain access inside And two, the space behind the supposed second door might still not be all that accessible due to being behind wings and all that...

    I think you may have mentioned this but the size does seem to be a little more accurate when considering the size of a mini figure so even though it is cramped I do kind of like it. I agree though that the lack of playability features is disappointing and the one door inaccuracy is annoying.

  • @jolunrohthocoudis526
    @jolunrohthocoudis526 Před 10 měsíci +2

    To be honest this is way more accurate then the 2013. This is much closer to actual minifigure scale, and the wing pods were never supposed to be placed were troops sat and fired, they were supposed to be wing lazers and that’s what they are. They’re given an oval shape and I think they work wonderfully. Honestly my only gripe is it should have had 1 more shock trooper and and the internal front door section should have something but I’ll admit it being empty allows a lot of possibility for customization.
    As for the doors not working. I’m 99% that’s merely a stabilization thing. They close all the way and look good closed and open. Having two doors probably caused a lot of issues with the first set of doors and didn’t line up right so they took the ‘sturdier and plays better’ route over the ‘looks more authentic’ route and I think that’s fine here

    Nice review and I’m thankful for your honest opinions of the set and telling LEGO that they are capable of doing much better. I’d a prefer a white Gunship but I’m thankful for this different variant. I also think LEGO should have included some kind of tools or weapons rack and maybe a speeder for the empty space. I am also wondering if LEGO did not catch the pink hue on Fox’s chest when designing or was it too late for them to make any changes? Maybe LEGO should implement more quality control or a better process? Overall, I’m still excited for this set and I know LEGO can do way better in terms of quality.

    Personally I like the scale, it’s a lot more minifigure accurate. I do wish they put some more time into the front compartment and have literally anything there, and actually put the effort to make 2 doors. Luckily I’m sure there will be lots of mods that allow you to make it 2 doors and I know personally I’ll probably pick up 2 of these and make a white color swap. (Plan to put on rebrickable so keep an eye out!)

    As someone who grew up with the 2008 Clone Wars version, for me it's jarring how the price is higher on this model with a much smaller build and no play features! The 2008 version had a BARC speeder, a Bacta tank and a command station whilst being much larger and 20 dollars cheaper! I like the color variation on this 2023 model and I also think the minifigure selection is great (in my opinion even commander Fox looks great) but it's so overpriced compared to previous models. I wouldn't mind a smaller gunship if only it was cheaper...

      Just boycott with your wallets and buy from retailers.
      Very obviously there is a strategy of making us pay much larger sums on the lego website, pretending free delivery + those VIP discounts are worth it.
      I miss the days when Lego had to rely on toy stores to sell the sets, since lego only made their wholesale profits and retail stores chose the price that the end consumer would pay.
      Retail stores know that a widely desired product needs to be affordable in order to create new collectors who want to pick up more and more sets.
      Lego's new formula is blatant theft of the adult, die-hard collectors who keep buying no matter how high the prices go up.
