About this deal

Ultimate Collector Series products have focused almost exclusively upon Original Trilogy designs which enjoy amazing popularity. The marvellous assortment of Prequel Trilogy subjects has been neglected, increasing the expectation which has preceded 75309 Republic Gunship.

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. Construction of Ultimate Collector Series models traditionally concludes with the display stand and this process is no exception. The reliance upon Technic elements matches earlier designs, although this model requires considerable support and the stand is therefore significantly wider than comparable examples. Nevertheless, the structure remains consistent between them. I look at the model and I think it's ugly, that's my opinion :) It's a Lego set and we can all form an opinion on it. Maybe the designer did a good job replicating the model, but end results is the same." 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. Ultimate Collector Series models traditionally contain display stands and this model therefore rests on an attractive stand. The angled position appears absolutely outstanding, creating the impression of dynamic motion. In addition, the connection between the Republic Gunship and this display stand feels secure, incorporating simple tabs which slot underneath the vehicle.Upload an Image in the specific color if you have one and the one in the above listing is not available.

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. Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and Hans Burkhard Schlömer assert that the Republic Gunship is the third Ultimate Collector Series product based upon the Prequel Trilogy, succeeding 10018 Darth Maul and 10215 Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter. That seems questionable given both 10026 Special Edition Naboo Starfighter and 10186 General Grievous are omitted and were perhaps forgotten. I'm sure their goal is to sell as many units as possible. I wasn't aware this ship is just as iconic as the Falcon, X-Wing, Star Destroyer etc. Not sure where you are going to put all of those minifigs . . . they will look horrible with this set . . . way out of scale.

Ultimate Collector Series models invariably provoke excitement, but 75309 Republic Gunship was chosen by LEGO Star Wars fans and has therefore inspired particular anticipation. I think the resultant model has proven worthy of such expectations, fortunately! The creation includes extraordinary detail, taking full advantage of the enlarged scale to capture nearly every feature from the LAAT/i. This minifigure also includes decorated legs which look excellent. However, the torso appears somewhat disappointing as LEGO has re-used the Phase II armour design which was created during 2020, befitting an animated Phase II Clone Trooper. The difference between armours is definitely sufficiently pronounced to warrant separate designs, in my opinion. 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. Assembly commences at the base, which comprises numerous layered plates. This structure feels reasonably strong and will definitely need to be, since the Republic Gunship includes an expansive troop compartment towards the rear. Technic components accordingly surround the open section and the resultant frame begins to emerge during the early stages of construction. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a LEGO Star Wars advent calendar, would it? This year’s seasonal extravaganza is said to be 75366 Star Wars Advent Calendar, and the current minifigure line-up includes a 212th Clone Trooper, an Ewok, a Battle Droid (obvs) and Omega from Star Wars: The Bad Batch – who is so far otherwise exclusive to 75323 The Justifier. 75367 Venator Star Destroyer
