I appreciate that you often show the set you are reviewing next to other sets. It's not something the other reviewers do often, but it really helps to get a sense of scale.
That's the reason why I've followed him since his "Legoboy" days. He shows us context to sets
Most people just do a second vid for the comparison off the other sets
Exactly, I am building a platform for this gunship but I didn’t know how big it was. The at-te helped me make the platform
@@alexandercaires5921oh my gosh I forgot he used to have that name
I remember being confused when he changed the name 😂
I would love to see another video of David fixing/upgrading this set. Kinda like he did with the AT-TE.
What about one of those custom ones by brickvault/davesbricks?
Agreed! Maybe extending the top slightly and making a double door system would be a great video idea
Good idea
Agreed! Make it happen, David.
Agreed, great idea.
He should replace the current shock helmets with the ones from 2014, cus they look ugly with the helmet holes.
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.
Damn - that hit me right in the feels! Can’t believe it’s 10 years since watching that review - I didn’t get the gunship that Christmas (got the AT-TE instead) but did get the gunship a few months later for my birthday and played with it so much - still one of my favourites in my collection!
Seriously hittin me in the feels with this comment😂 Reawakened a core memory of me getting the 2013 gunship for Christmas too
I was truly desperate as well but unfortunately never got it. This is my time to fill that inner desire for a gunship
my parents refused to buy it when i was younger so i’m going to buy this to make up for me never getting it 💀
I was 9 when my parents bought me the 2013 gunship. It was staying on my shelf for 9 years before I moved from my parents house and they put it somewhere else. I had no idea those sets are so expensive nowadays. My dad said that once he and his friend got drunk and played with my star wars ships. Damn it's been so much time. I stopped collecting lego a long time ago but new sets look so great I might buy some but they seem so expensive when you are the one buying them but not your parents
I always wanted a gunship as a kid and I never got one, so I am in love with this to be honest. I will say the smaller size is sorta nice because it makes it easier to display.
Same
as somebody that has the 2013 one, bigger does not equal better. i'm looking forward to this one purely for the fact it is smaller and will displayer better and scale better to my at te's
I almost always prefer smaller compact (dense looking) builds, and I really love the color here.
My main gripe is that 140 just feels way too high for the amount of stuff.
@@piotr78 a fellow Jang enjoyer? Agreed, friend. Don’t mind the scaling, personally. But I wish the value proposition was increased… maybe with a few more figures/a different door design to allow more access.
I feel really bad for you man you really deserve better here and lego really owes you one.
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.
❤
Couldn’t agree more! Really sucks the stud shooters are replacing the ball turrets
Just buy custom sets
I own the 2002 gunship, which I bought for surprisingly cheap on the aftermarket about 5-6 years ago. I'm conflicted on getting this one because I don't mind a lot of the inaccuracies.
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.
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
True but it definitely could have been longer.
+1 it looks better (but yeah, too bad for the play perspective)
It’s inconsistent. Pong Krell could fit in one of these. And he’s taller than the clones
I think I did some calculations and got that the 2013 gunship is a bit too big but they lost too many details here. It may be more acurate in scale but it's less acurate overall. The ATTE looks way better
This is where the design team took a moc approach which heavily affected the overall play of the set.
I'm happy with this set because it hopefully opens up the door to more clone wars sets, playscale or ucs.
We’ve been getting a significant amount of clone Wars already
Still haven't gotten the supertank or defoliater
We’ve been getting a ton of clone wars sets for years, why would you think that this is the set to open up the doors to more of them? And why did 40 people upvote such a dumb comment?
@@user-op8fg3ny3j With all due respect, the defoliater never appeared in the movies and it looks like doo doo. That last clone wars AAT already looked bad enough.
@@christopherstein2024 Why does it matter if it was in the movies or not!?
I actually kinda like the size. I never got one of the previous iterations, but they all look super big compared to clones standing inside them. This one is a lot more accurate feeling. Fits better on a shelf too
I'm happy for it and I'm excited to get it
Ion mind the size either I think it’s coo but the price😭
I love how lego always manages to surprise us while disappointing us at the same time.
Right as a sit down to eat breakfast, I got this notification. Impeccable timing.
Nah the way the 2008 gunship came with a command station, speeder, ANDDD bacta tank that could all be stored in the gunship and not one unique feature for this gunship is actually wild
Crazy how they remove all that...then tag this at $140...where's my $140 of value?
I'm not saying this is a better gunship than past ones, but I think it's scaled more properly to minifig size.
I agree with you! It's scaled way more properly for minifigs, and I love the old gunships but with the smaller size they got the angles right. Aesthetic wise they nailed it on this one!
bro went through fox so quick😂
I kind of can't believe they didn't put anything in the void in the front. That might even be as glaring an issue as the stud shooters
They dont care about details anymore remember 2002 gunship...
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.
I really hope they bring back the dropship soon
Another 10 year wait
Nah bro more like a 100 year wait
They would as soon as there's an angle to. It needs to appear in a TV show or movie.
Right now, an AT-OT w. dropship would likely end up very overpriced with not enough minifgures.
I'm thinking a new death star II is going to be in order first.
@@ReubenVictoorare you sure? We haven’t seen the courscant guard gunship since the early 2010’s in the Clone Wars show
And the AT-OT 😢
I appreciate the honesty as well as the comparison to other sets. Your reviews feel fair without being too nitpicky or too lego loving.
I know the size is a lot smaller than the 2013 gunship, but from my view I feel like it looks closer to minifig scale than the older gunships. I also like that they went a different direction with the color scheme so that all the sets aren't big grey ships or big white ships. Thank you for the review, I will be picking it up just because I don't have a gunship in my collection.
I think size wise the new gunship is waaaayyy more accurate. Id even go as far as saying its perfect
Coruscant is my favourite Star Wars planet so anything coruscant related is a win in my book
While the 2013 is much larger, this set is more true to the scale of the gunship in movies IMO and i like it.
Can't wait to get my hands on one I am so excited I absolutely love the set the size is perfect
So many facts were spat in this review. Excellent job.
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.
Thorn would be epic
I'm so glad you said this at 1:50 because I've been thinking about this arc recently and how I really ought to rewatch it now that I'm older and can truly appreciate what used to be the
"boring stuff"
Thanks for this review David!
This is a great review! Honest and lots great well deserved criticism of the set! Way more interesting then just pure praise of the billion dollar company that can do no wrong or straight up hating without explanation. Loved the video❤
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.
The price is absolutely a scam. 140 for this. Pretty sure the 2013 one was 140 aswell and it is significantly better than this
@@nowldriesten7591 yes I agree that it’s over priced but if you count inflation the 2013 one would be 170 dollars
finally a review with a comparison!
for that, you get a like
13:45 Thanks for finally saying IT, that was a tense review, we all knew what you were thinking but it took you the whole video to let it go! Much love, great content
No matter how good this set is, it's still a loss for me that we didn't get a gunship that could pass for the ones in the movies. It's been 9 years.
i’m actually really happy they did this. i’m tired of seeing the regular one. we’ve gotten 4 of them
I just wanted a gunship 😏
@@cameronmeetze8153 Maybe you have 4 of them but those who didn't get one from 9+ years ago have 0.
I don't get how lego can not release a gun ship for more than 4 years in a row. It's like they don't want the money.
@@christopherstein2024 i don’t have any of them. but i think releasing a set for the 5th time without some change isn’t a great idea
@@cameronmeetze8153 There has been a ton of change if you look at the first version. I think we have different priorities here. The new sets don't get worse because they had a version 10 years ago. People will always want standard gunships, ATATs and ATTEs as long as they are good on their own.
Ive wanted a gunship since 2013, and have never got one, after seeing this review, i am still excited its going to be my first, i felt the same way about the new at-te and am very happy with the way it looks :)
Thanks for the review! I have been waiting for months for it to come out, I really wanted the other ones but they are expensive these days
Thank you so much for delivering a fair review. This gunship receives so much hate just for the figures and people won’t open their eyes to the whole thing. I will definitely buy this because I couldn’t get the 2013 one and I’ve been wanting a gunship forever.
I have the 2008 one, grew up with it. Bought this one and I still love it!! Hope we get more of this build in different colors with a door upgrade
I know there are a lot of things people don’t like about this set, but I think it’s still really great. I also think that you could put the weapon racks from the clone command station minifigure pack inside that void place
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...
@@DJ.KyloRen I won't know for sure until I have the ability to buy one. I have the 2013 Gunship and modified it to have the doors instead of the ball turrets. I really want this Gunship for the minifigures more than anything and I'll have no regrets with a modified Coruscant Gunship. Even if I have to build it like the 2013 one.
The ceiling is also a lot smaller
@@HIFLY01 You mean lower.
@@christianwaters1114 same thing
Fantastic coruscant gunship love the red style and matching troopers
I actually like the smaller size. It looks like a fits better when it comes to the scale next to the minifigures. Older ones were always too big for me. So im excited to be picking this up!
I do have to say the new Scale does fit more with the AT-TE cause if you look at the Point Rain episode the Gunsips sit next to the AT-TEs and are actually shorter so the new scale is more accurate compared to the AT-TE
The gunship is close to minifigure scale, the AT TE is too small.
Well and also in the troop area its tighter but that's also kinda more accurate because in the movies they didnt have a lot of headroom but in the 2013 set they have plenty. Kinda like the difference between the ceiling height in a house vs on a bus
Great review. Matches my thoughts entirely. When it was first unveiled the smaller size and lack of bubble turrets immediately killed the hype for me
He shows the important things thanks so much for your content ❤❤❤❤❤❤ i really liked yoyr kashyyyk and scarif and daro mocs
cant wait to see geonosis finnished ❤❤
Thank you for speaking on the lack of play functions, this is meant to be a play set and yet there's only really one...
The Republic Gunship has been my White Whale since I was a kid, I remember staring in awe at the 2013 version but not being able to get it as my parents didn’t have the money. I’m disappointed that after all these years, now that I’m finally able to get one, my options are either bankruptcy for the 2013 one, still overpaying for the UCS one that’s too oversized, or this one. I’m hoping people come up with mods for this one that makes this better, especially those doors
Jus get the 2013 one off Temu
I’m almost thinking the UCS is worth the extra change compared to this sad excuse for a gunship
@@ethanrobertson560 I just really don’t like how oversized it is, between that and being 400 dollars, it’s not worth it to me. I could just buy 2 of these and build a bigger one myself and still spend less for a more accurate one. Although I might also just download the instructions for the 2013 one and see what ordering the pieces individually would look like.
@@darthrevan4485 yeah I would say parting out the 2013 is by far the most cost effective option, ofc you wouldn’t get any figs w it tho. I’m considering the UCS purely from an accuracy standpoint, it is hella annoying how big it is tho fs
Yea I never had a chance to buy any gunships the past years but this one is a game changer!! Can’t wait to buy a few of these
Idk how Ryan considers you a shill when you literally point out the flaws in the set. Nice review!
Having two opening areas only to have nothing inside them is surprisingly my biggest issue with this set.
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.
it will make a fine addition to my collection
I grew up with the 2008 gunship and knowing that the bricks have basically been scattered through my collection or massively damaged I honestly really like this new one and will be buying another to modify to match the standard colors.
I just really like this set I’ll be getting it to grow my army. And this will be my first gunship
You read my mind 💯. Great review
Honestly I’m hyped I’m obviously going to fix the wing turrets and that void at the front but I have my squad of CAC shock troopers, Thorn, Fox, 2 pilots ready to mount up
I like how the new gunship is much more to scale, however I hope we can get a video showing how to modify the doors to the proper 2 split door etc
Great review ❤
Yes it was featured first in the clone wars in season 6 but it was also the gunship used in the order 66 flashback scene in mando season 3 with Grogu
Seeing lego make sets based on specific clone wars arcs makes me hopeful for more, like sets with the pong krell and fives arcs.
I hope we get another Krell... would make a great diorama with the prison scene when they surround him
“You should definitely check out that Clovis arc”
Don’t tempt me, I’ll rewatch the whole show again
This is my first big Lego clone set. In the past I always got battle packs but I now have this and I am madddd happy about the design my first LAAT I am extremely satisfied
I love how he acted like a dad at the end. "You know better."
I only have this one from 2023 and again it absolutely rocks.
They definitely could have gone with a better colour scheme I do agree with that, I liked the clone wars episode these were in the colour and unique niche nature of the set really plays to the clone wars sets themselves and it’s a good sign lego are willing to do something like this.
Can’t wait to get it in hand to review myself.
Love that he pointed out he would prefer the plain gunship because you see it in episode 3 and bad batch when you literally see this gunship in both as well
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.
I agree. After so many years i just wanted a standard republic gunship minifig scale.
Great review, it has problems but I’m still getting one of course. I’m not getting multiple though. I really like the figures except for the Fox without his Kama and the helmet holes on the shock troopers.
I'm always for decisions that make sets closer to being the right size
this is no exception
my only problems with this set is Fox, the doors and the wing turrets
As someone who displays my sets the doors look better closed than they would if there were 2 separate ones… the stud shooters on the wings are being burned tho 😂
Im looking forward to getting this ahip, along side ahsokas t6 , both sets have nice figs , and i like the red troopers , it would be awesome to have a battlepack based on the red trooper in a future wave
Could you please make a video modding the doors so the open the way they're supposed to? Loved the modification video you did on the AT-TE!
This ship will become a collector's item in the future, I'm sure. But I wanted a run of the mill gunship. I missed out in 2013, and I hate that. What's really disappointing, is that I have to wait like 5-10 years for another gunship...... That being said, I'm buying this ship and I will love it. If Lego released updated sets more often, I'd be fine with this ship since I just have to wait no more than 4 years for a new one.
An amazing set I bought a day ago and finished today. I liked the set and minifigures a lot. Not sure if I missed a step but due to how it leans more towards the back the wings sometimes start to slide off.
I’m getting one too within this week
For a creator that sometimes gets free stuff off lego I seriously appreciate your honesty here 👍
Despite what others say, this is my favorite set of the past 5 years. Can’t wait to pick it up!
The size change drives me nuts!
All previous versions were the perfect size.
They were likely a bit too big.
perfect size but not at all acurate compared to minifigures lmao
Lego has gotten really good at cutting noticeable corners in the last few years regarding the more recent non-UCS Star Wars sets.
I had the 2013 gunship and it was amazing. Unfortunately it broke into a million pieces when I moved houses and wasn't able to recover most of them, still haunts me
Same except with the 2008 one, I completely forgot I had it until I was sorting through some old Lego and found about 3 pieces from it, I was so annoyed haha
Thanks for honest opinion.
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...
Yep, I wouldn't mind it being smaller if it wasn't daylight robbery even taking into account inflation
I'm glad I managed to get the 08 version when it was still cheap 2nd hand (got mine for £60 no minifigs but with the box). The new one definitely looks like a ripoff
@@user-op8fg3ny3j 119$ in 2008 are $168 today.
while i still really want to get this set, i think i’m going to wait a while longer because here in the uk for some reason it costs £130 while the at te costs £120, because it wasn’t overpriced enough already. decent set but i honestly can’t justify spending so much on it unlike the near-perfect at te
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Lego revenue goes way up. "Increased material cost" is provisional, nothing happened yet, and if it doesn't then they won't compensate by going cheaper again.
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.
I remember with my old gunship, I would take out Lego’s pieces and put a big plate full of clones, in there. Good times, good times.
If you have the time, I’d love to see you mod the set to make the doors accurate or even swap the colors to make it look like the normal LAAT !
We love to see it
This Gunship is actually closer to minifigure scale than the older ones crazily enough. Minifigure height scales to around 1:46. The 2013 gunship scales to 1:35, while this one scales much closer at 1:47.
Lol the old one is like 1:40 what are you talking about. This new one is closer to 1:50 by length (albeit also 1:40 by height - very disproportionate)
@@nanorex_designs The set is 37 cm long. The length in the movies is 17.4 meters. That's a 1:47 scale right there.
I like the smaller size, it scales better with minifigures and looks just right alongside the new AT-TE. The doors are different, LEGO decided on a more simplified design which works better as a play feature, at the cost of accuracy, I have no doubt the community will come up with alternative designs. The proportions and shape overall are really good in my opinion.
Still can't help but think it would look better in the original colour scheme, though.
It looks good, I’m just worried about it falling apart overtime with those dark red bricks. I don’t know about now, but burgundy bricks used to get brittle over time.
A bit pricey but I can wait to get on sale. I do generally like it but I'm definitely modding some of it. I'm looking forward to seeing others make variants of this, like making a traditional white one based on this design. I like the size, it's more minifigure scale.
I totally agree the only reason to buy this is for figures the iconic part of the gunship is the troop bay but they didn't nale it for me i hope they sell the shock trooper in those comic bag things that would be great. And I'd like to say thank you to David for comparing it to the legendary 2013 variant that we all know and love it really helped us to know what its like. I myself am buying for the figures a few times 😅
I'm happy with a little bit of variety how we could get another standard gunship...I'm not even upset about the slightly smaller scale...I'm running low on display space lol
Awesome review! I don’t own any playscale LAAT’s and I love the new variant and characters despite the flaws. David, I also like how you aren’t too harsh on the designers at LEGO but still honest in saying that they could have done significantly better as we’ve seen years before. Im not in the designers shoes so I don’t know the processes behind the scenes but I hope errors like the pink tint on Fox’s chest shows that the designers need to improve on their quality standards before products are released and sort of ruin the set. Can’t wait to purchase this!
That Republic Gunship was actually pretty cool. It may be white and red but it's co. It's been 10 years since the Gunship came out and its actually good. I don't own the 2013 Gunship but this one looks cool and probably a good set i would own
One word to describe the new gunship... let's go!!
Finally David is getting honest with us
true i really like ur videos and i tottaly agree but i u didn't talk about the bubble turrets cause those are epic
Looks like a stealthier smaller type of gunship. I mean it kind of makes sense one is only in the city and the other on if for actual combat.
amazing republic gunship base on the Mandalorian season 3 episode
Personally I really like that it's a different color scheme than previous versions. Feels like it justifies buying it more for people who already have the white version.
I would love to see a modification/upgrade video! Maybe get two and combine them?
Incredible review and you’re absolutely right the figures carry this set (except fox with the pink torso is so bad). I will say the front looks much better in video than on the leaked image so thank goodness for that haha
I love the comparison to the 2013 play scale version. I have the 2008 version which would also dwarf this new CGG, so I think Im just going to save that money for the UCS Repub as that retires soon.
I would like to share a personal story. When I was seven I wanted the gunship and the at-te loved the clone wars all that. For my birthday I got the at-te but when christmas rolled around the gunship had already retired so I was certain I wasn’t going to get it. Figured I’d get the next one that came out. Obviously my dad clutched uo hard and found it on ebay for retail and it’d been my favorite lego set/ Christmas gift since. But not everybody had that and some people Had to wait for the next and the fact that their patience has been rewarded with a second rate obscurity is depressing. Ten years. And we get this.
I had the 2013 one so I was so excited for a new gunship but when I saw the leaks I rebuilt my old one
