A quick look at Every Hasbro Republic Gunship Ever! It is one my favorite vehicles from Star Wars and one of the coolest collectibles Hasbro has ever released! Twitter: / rygarthe
Man, when I was a kid, Star Wars ships, especially anything from Toys R Us, was only a birthday or Christmas item. I never got anything besides a figure here or there unless it was a special occasion. I remember in 5th grade, I had just had a birthday and had some money. I went into Toys R Us to spend it, and made a B-Line to the Star Wars aisle. I had wanted a gunship for forever, but they were too expensive. To my surprise, there sat a Tigershark on the shelf. I grabbed it up immediately and counted out that I had enough to get it. Without hesitation, thats what I went home with. I can’t count how many hours I played with that thing. I would always pull one wing off and lay the ship on its side and have my clones defending the crash site from a droid attack. The paint has chipped and worn off the forward cannons from all the time I played with it. I still have the ship, the box, and to my surprise all the pieces. I have recently gotten into buying a few things here and there that I didnt have as a kid. One of them being a speeder bike that goes in the storage bay, as well as the Arc troopers that go with the ship. I think im going to hang it from the ceiling in my man cave and make a little display.
I can’t get over how affordable ships used to be. They catered more to kids back then and now it’s the adult collector. I’d be shocked if they release a vehicle of any kind under $100 in the future
I just got the command version at a flea market for $25. It's missing one door, and a few turrets, but its got most of the missiles/bombs that clip onto it, and overall still a good find. I was confused at first when researching it because I couldn't find a black and yellow one. I didn't initially think it could've been yellowed to that point bc it had a lot of white on it, but that turned out to be the paint. I actually kinda like the color scheme, and as I restore it by 3d printing, I may keep the yellow. Not sure yet, though, I may paint it up some other way. Excited nonetheless!
You uploading this right before Christmas brings back a memory of the Christmas attack of the clones came out. I got a republic gunship an anakin figure an obi wan figure and that coleman trebor guy jango fett shot that year. I loved that thing.
I’d like to see a reissue and slightly more screen accurate Hypori “Rancor /tigershark” gunship. Full enclosing doors, but not the forward crewman doors, the correct colour and an exclusive arc pilot. Also some retooling to have an opening door beneath the cockpit that might pull out and double as a stretcher. A medivac module at the rear with a rear opening hatch 👍
A bit late to the posts but...me and about 20 other people in my class skipped school to watch Episode 2. I remember seeing the gunship and I was in love. Such an awesome piece of hardware. Little did I know, the first time I saw this at Kaybee, I bought it! I didnt even know it was in production. My same gunship will be hanging from my office ceiling soon. I need the bubble turrets, so if anyone wants to sell, message me!
You are the man for doing this video. Thank you. I grew up with the prequels and anytime a old person starts giving me crap for it I just point out the cheesiness and "writing" in the first three movies and they leave me alone, always.
I got the big bubble turrets and the brown speeder bike to attach to my 2002 gunship and it’s 100% screen accurate to the prequels and looks amazing. Also bought the Clone Wars missile turrets so I can fire the extra eight missiles on top.
Nice comparison and contrast review, dude! You're the only other person I've seen that has all seven, and I've not opened the Crumb and Ultimate versions. It's been great to have a look at them!
That green ROTS gunship was also the first gunship I got as a kid, my mom and dad bought for me on my birthday after months of ebay stalking, years of constant dreaming, and a failed buy from a seller that had the normal 2002 AOTC model (our $200 bid apparently didn't meet their requirements lol.) As a much lower income family seeing this arrive and putting it together truly made me and my parents happy. I still have it even to this day, although the tail gun went missing the same day it was put together and I think one of the forward facing turrets is lost somewhere under my house (damn mice.)
Impressive collection. I have two both AoTC. One was heavily played with when I was a kid the other my dad made me keep in the box, good on him for that.
Such a great video. Watched several times. Personally, have the Crumb Bomber, the Tiger Shark and have the ToysRUs TVC arriving tomorrow. I really thought that'd do me, but watching your video again is really making me wonder!
I know I'm rather late to this, but the command gunship is from the 2003 Clone Wars series, though it has a green nose instead of a red one. It appears in volume 1 during the opening of the battle of Muunilinst and is the gunship that the ARC troopers are in (although, for some reason, when it is shown crashing later in that same battle it's just a regular gunship instead of the command variant it was when it flew off towards the city).
As far as I'm aware there are four major paint variants. The Revenge of the Sith Version, Target Exclusive Tigershark, Toys R Us exclusive Clone Wars, and Imperial Deco.
I got the shark gunship from the hunt 4 grievous, with all the arc clones but as u said, with out the bubbles, it looked naked so I got them and now it looks perfect eventhough in the animeted series never got the bubbles
Great video of all the various Gunships. I personally only own two of these Gunships. Those being the original release AOTC one and the Tiger Shark version which was a TRU exclusive. I remember being excited when I saw it for the first time in a store. I have the Arc Troopers that go with this Tiger Shark version.
Well since the official AT-TE Walker from The Clone Wars 2008 line is already huge and expensive on it’s own😱😱💀💀💀 if Hasbro ever did make the Republic Dropship version that could carry said Walker, it would have to be EVEN BIGGER than the AT-TE itself just so that it could carry the damn thing😳😳 and I bet at least a decent $20-30 bucks would be going towards the carrying mechanism alone! If they sold the Republic Dropship alone it would be at least $120-130, and add the AT-TE along with it and you’d be looking at $230💀💀💀💀 if not more due to RIDICULOUSLY MENTAL TVC Prices💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
I have not. To be honest, it is a bit of a cost issue. Many of the accessories have really increased in value. If you are interested the video would have included: The hunt for grevious battle pack, the Clone attack on coruscant battle pack, the geonosis assault battle pack, the Attack of the clones clone trooper with firing turret, and both variants of the Attack of the clones clone trooper with speeder bike.
Awesome video, thank you. I have the Walmart one, it's pretty fun, now planing on adding extras. You said in your video that you had a video on all the add-ons. Can you supply the link so I can watch it?
A few things: I wish Hasbro would release an updated variant with : (a) the great paint and weathering they have been with all of their TVC collection paint jobs (b) reworked front turrets: they don’t move all that well and would be impossible to actually use in the real world (c) better pilots (d) more individual nose art or a few sticker sheets for lots choices (e) doors like the crumb bomber.
I got a new in box Revenge of the Sith Gunship for $200 it seemed like the going rate was close to $250 so I thought it was an okay deal by today’s standards. I really like the green on it very unique looking plus I like how it’s mostly grey so I don’t have to risk the white plastic yellowing on me
Really hope you see this comment. I have the 2013 TRU exclusive version and was wondering if the 2009 "Crumb Bomber" version has the same body color. I have been debating buying a Crumb Bomber to use the larger closing side doors and the front drop down doors as well on the TVC versions. Do you know if, obviously aside from the fact that the rear doors would not close with the turrets on the TVC version, would the doors from the CB fit the TVC version? Thank you.
The body color on both versions is almost the same but not exactly the same (CB doors are slightly lighter) . If you are not picky it would probably be fine. If you want and exact match you would probably need to repaint the gunship and the doors. The Vintage Collection and Crumb Bomber are the only versions that have provisions for the front doors. The longer Crumb Bomber doors are a direct swap on to any of the other Gunships.
Hey there, would you say that the Lucky Lekku and the 2002 release are comparable or identical in color? Trying to find parts to repair my Lekku version and have found a 02 for pretty cheap
The 2002 version is slightly lighter in color. At a glance no one would know the difference. They are different though so you would notice if you were looking for it.
I agree with CT-7171 Facebook marketplace is good you just have to wait for one to pop up. I would also suggest checking local comic book stores and flea markets if you have any.
Great stuff! I only have the ones with unique nose art, also the shark one. The plain ones are a bit uninteresting to me, as they seem to lack character.
The wings and the top cylindrical items pop off. They each connect with two cylindrical inserts with small edged grips on them. Pull exactly left or right to remove each wing. They'll come off. But I avoid assembling and disassembling them more than necessary.
I got most of them on eBay. I have also purchased on Amazon before. Occasionally you will find a ones in the "More Buying Choices" section for a pretty reasonable deal. I also suggest checking out local comic book stores and flea markets.
So long as you had a big enough 3d printer and understood how to edit the files, you could probably scale the model to whatever size you wanted. The Matel LAAT's aren't true to scale though, so a true 1:18 would have a wingspan around 3 feet.
So the fully enclosed doors on the Crumb Bomber aren't *entirely* accurate as there should be two separate doors on each side, one in the back like on the normal gunship and one near the front section rather than just being one elongated door like on the toy, but ehhhh its fine.

If you want to do something a little like this, you can swap the doors on the Crumb Bomber with the Tigershark doors.

The command gunship is from the first part of the 2003 clone wars before the tiger shark one in like the first couple volumes

Got them all as well. I have 100 ships hanging throughout my home. I have every ARC-170 and Large Wing TIES as well.
Really cool, I love the gunships! I got the black one at my semi local antique store for $40!
That's a great price! These things are getting really hard to find
Yeah! The command gunship is cool because it's unique

The fully enclosed one is probably my favourite. Wish I had one back in the day :(
Thank you so much for making this video i really needed it
Exactly what I was looking for, and you sir were the one and only
My favorite is the tiger shark version. I have three so far
Badass! I've always wanted one as a kid but never got the chance, sadly they are very expensive now
The green revenge of the sith was concept art for the kashyk gun ship which is cool
Interesting! I had no idea
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 yeah if you google it they said it was used on kashyk I belive
Cool video, great to see all the variants compared. I have the standard 2002 version, I would love to get another one and get the ball turrets too.
I still have my Command Gunship and still think it's awesome.
Beautiful collection!!
it's amazing that you have all the gunship
Kick ass video! I’m getting my first gunship,the tvc one! So hyped! 👍🏽
Awesome video! It's so hard to pick a favorite.
This video was amazing! I love the Gunship too! Just hunted 2 down and looking for more!
Such a great video. Watched several times. Personally, have the Crumb Bomber, the Tiger Shark and have the ToysRUs TVC arriving tomorrow. I really thought that'd do me, but watching your video again is really making me wonder!
Love this collection. Load up with troopers, recon the Seppies, storm, and crush. Film. Show. 🙂
I have a TigerShark gunship from Toys “R” Us it’s really cool 😎💜
Great video and concise review Thanks. Limited on space, I have the smaller gunships (Action Fleet and Titanium Ultra versions).
Definitely love this video. My collection has been growing. Own several gunships, and hoping to get a tvc gunship soon.
Right on! The TVC gunship is one of the coolest in the lineup!

The gunship add-on / accessory video would be interesting
That’s where they all went
I remember the AOTC variant retailing for $50 in 2002-2003, I almost asked for one for Christmas
Man those were the days! By the last release Hasbro was charging $150! I would hate to see what Hasbro would charge if they release another one.
Omg I didn't realize I'm missing half of these!
How many different ARC 170s are there?
As far as I'm aware there are four major paint variants. The Revenge of the Sith Version, Target Exclusive Tigershark, Toys R Us exclusive Clone Wars, and Imperial Deco.
@@RygarTheDestroyer212 ok thanks. I got the tiger and first release. Dang gotta find em all lol
I'd go as far as to say this is now the 3rd most iconic star wars vehicle just under star destroyers and the falcon
idk bro, back in the day, the x-wing was the ship to own
Holy moly
i really want one of thes but theyre all 500 dollas but amazing vid
thanks for the heart dud currently im saving up for one so wish em good luck

You can find them in car boot sales/yard sales if you are lucky
How do you remove the wings?
I wish you would have opened the doors on the space variant and shown the figures.
There are no figures included with that version of the Republic Gunship.
Great stuff! I only have the ones with unique nose art, also the shark one. The plain ones are a bit uninteresting to me, as they seem to lack character.
What do you think about the Razor crest and did you support the haslab project for it?
The Razor Crest is an awesome ship and I did support the haslab project
How do u guys take it apart I'm too scared to break it
The wings and the top cylindrical items pop off. They each connect with two cylindrical inserts with small edged grips on them. Pull exactly left or right to remove each wing. They'll come off. But I avoid assembling and disassembling them more than necessary.

So the fully enclosed doors on the Crumb Bomber aren't *entirely* accurate as there should be two separate doors on each side, one in the back like on the normal gunship and one near the front section rather than just being one elongated door like on the toy, but ehhhh its fine.
As Hasbro would say..."Close enough!"
