LEGO Star Wars 75354 CORUSCANT GUARD GUNSHIP Review! (2023)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ส.ค. 2023
- The 2023 LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship set has turned out to be a crazy one. LEGO went crazy opting to make the Clone Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship over all other variants! The choice is a good one but for $140 you are getting a downsized LEGO set, poor quality Clone Trooper Minifigures (Commander Fox... all-time bad), and some questionable design choices. The Palpatine & Padme Minifigures are excellent though and the Gunship, while small looks super cool in dark-red!

How did they notice the smallest detail on the back of the gunship but didn't notice fox's torso detail?
Bro FR
@@MandRproductions Padme is missing her Mole btw, big detail for the figure missing.
Also doubles as a pilot
The republic gunship is from the original trilogy
@@crazyguy5115no its the prequel
2 extra clones and turning the doors into a double door opening would have made this an easy 10 in my book. I actually like smaller scale sets, it makes it easier to display them on your shelves, and they scale nicely with the minifigures
Couldn't agree more
word
Yeah I can barely fit ships on my billy bookcases. Smaller sets will be wanted
The door looks easily mod-able at least
Yeah, I'm waiting till this is 110€. I saw the 2022 at te at 100€ on amazon, so definitely gonna happen
I would absolutely love to see a video where you color swap this gunship to be the regular gunship colors. Something like when you color swapped the LEGO globe into the Death Star. 🎉
Same bro, that's what I'm waiting for to see what it actually looks like.
Please do Ryan
Overall the build of this set is pretty solid room to improve but it's satisfactory, but I'd prefer a wolffepack or muunilist 10 gunship instead
I agree
Missed opportunity
With a captain fordo minifigure.. I mean... *chef's kiss*
@@anonymousforagoodreason2479 Excuse me, hey, why do you stink of shit?
For the 20th anniversary of the micro series, yes. A Muunilinst 10 gunship would have made the most sense. But making sense is too hard for the wet brains at Lego.
To be fair. Season 1 Padme suit is way better than anything Padme ever wore in CW
I just remember a lot of people telling me Cody couldn’t be in the UCS Gunship because it was EP. 2 but now they mix it and those same people went missing 🤔🤔 I don’t care really but I think at the end of the day if you’re gonna make a niche S6 Gunship include the niche outfits too…
@@carlsandstrom2489Default pfps are always talking crazy

funny watching people cry over a mutual hobby. Why the hell is carl arguing???@@fraserjackson8326
Hey Ryan, you probably don’t remember me but I was the kid that showed you the funny order 66 lego display at the brick fest in Tampa. I just wanted to say that it was an honor meeting you and an experience that I will never forget.
Thank you.
That’s pretty cool
This set just made the 2013 gunship even more valuable.. damn
2013 clone wars sets were sooooo good and we never even knew it at the time 😢
@@devenmacintosh4124 true, wish i had known
I agree
2013 gunship is kinda overrated, the door doesn’t even close all the way
I would prefer the 2 door split for the interior but I do like how solid it looks when it's closed compared to the small gaps you get from having 2 doors.
Yeah but with two separate doors couldn’t you for display just connect them together via a simple 1x4 on the inside
Despite it being smaller than others, it does look more minifig scale, but it should have been cheaper(edit: I'm not saying it's the perfect size, I'm saying relative to the size of the minifigs it makes more sense. I agree though, it would be better if it was bigger to fit more troops)
How. A gunship is far bigger than u think. 3-4 minifigs don't take up the entire troop area.
What a stupid post. In cannon you can put like 30+ troops in the troop compartment. This model has its good parts but overall it's too small
@looneylunatic.2133 u should be able to reach the backside to fit troopers there and they should be able to stand right next to the door and theres your problem fixed
@@looneylunatic.2133if you look up pictures of it, you can see troopers touching the roof with their hands
False, look up a picture of it, the older ones are actually minifig scale
I think its eye-popping and unique but it’s audience is more niche than if they did a standard gunship.
I think most people who would buy a standard gunship will also buy this (if it were the same price and whatnot)
I’d rather this because shock troopers are awesome
The UCS gunship is still available so they dont want two of the same looking set
@Tarriq
Not true. They had the UCS AT-AT and regular AT-AT out at the same time.
@@billmeowsers4142 but didn’t the UCS one come after? If you sell the UCS after then there’s probably a plan for number of sales but if you sell the UCS first you’re losing profit. Especially since they know everyone wants a gunship and complained about the UCS release
It seems like the 'bubble' turrets could have been made out of the same transparent cockpit dome used for the baby Yoda area in the N1, just use some clips on both sides and maybe a sticker or something.
Kinda wish we got commander Thorn instead of Fox
I think the Padme was them looking at the one they did from the Malevolence and wanting to redeem the figure. I'd also love to see if it's possible to make a Gunship that looks like the others but with 2 of the Coruscant Gunships
Scale wise I actually think it’s perfect, people often mistake the LAAT’s for being these humongous grand ships but they’re really not. They transport troops into battle and that’s all it needs to do. Maybe the model itself could have been 1 or two bricks higher, but other than that I am 100% getting this 😅
I have gotten it
@@FinnParsons-yh2wx do you think it's worth it? Thinking of buying something in similar price range to brother for new year
@@illiabovtriuk2166 i have it i got it on release and i think its worth it. lego youtubers scrutinize these clone wars sets to death and complain about damn near everything. fantastic figures and build go buy it
I actually don't mind the downscaling; regarding the older Lego Gunships it always felt kind of weird that they were so big and went for as much as a Millennium Falcon or AT-AT. And even with the several questionable design choices, it's still exciting as someone that doesn't have any of the previous gunships!
To me it feels like the Commander Fox figure came before anything else in this playset. Like Lego had already planned on releasing or maybe had already designed Fox and needed a playset to release him in. And before they threw him in with a random vehicle someone on the design team remembered that a red gunship exists, so they just googled some reference images and decided on Palpatine and Padme to accompany the troopers just based on the theme. If this playset had actually been inspired by the episode then we would've probably seen Commander Thorn and Clovis instead of Fox and Palps. Not to mention we might've also seen a new outfit for Padme actually based on something they saw her wear in the episodes, not just a quick retouch of a design they've already released.
We definitely should've seen two doors on this design, especially considering they made no use of compartment under the cockpits. Honestly I'm kinda glad that their first attempt at a "modern design" gunship was with a specific variant. Hopefully the design team improves upon this design before releasing a default skin gunship that people are gonna want to army build with. I really hope new fans that missed the last version aren't stuck with this design for another ten years.
This really doesn't make sense when you consider that Fox is the _one_ detail of the set that's egregiously inaccurate/poorly executed. If they legit built up and designed the entire rest of the set based on Fox, he would've looked _a lot_ more polished.
I agree, it feels like they just needed to make a gunship and they already had fox ready to go. I am a newer fan and it was a little disappointing to not have a stock gunship to go with the at-te, overall not a terrible set though. Still hoping for some wolf pack troops with wolf soon.
I’m so glad people will be able to get a gunship again! I feel like the 3 sets every kid should have is a x wing tie fighter and republic gunship!
I think they mainly went with that outfit for Padme because they wanted all the figures to have red on them to fit the "really red" theme of the set.
The handle Dipping happens in the 2013 gunship too, and the cockpit glass also catches in the same way.
I just figured I'd mention it
10 years later… the playscale Republic Gunship is back baby! 🔥 Day 1 pick-up!
i think u mean after 2 years, not 10 ur forgetting about one
Hello
@@rahu5467he said playscale not ucs
@@rahu5467no he means playscale
@@Daddy-Hundavar yea, so do i
I would've preferred it be a little taller for the figs, bubble turrets on the wings double doors and better made/ printed clones. Other than that it looks good! I will get one at some point but not at full price
hot take: I honestly absolutely love the helmet holes
I agree, they don't look that bad
Mandr goes a lot more in-depth of the Lego sets compared to other review channels which I like keep up the good work
Also I changed my account I am no longer joemama
Fox also doubles as a pilot, as seen on the box! How nice!
LAN members must be so jealous to see Ryan continue to review sets before them. I love it!!

Yeah mandr is late to this one
I'd rather get it free and late than pay double retail and early
3 more clones a waist capes and no helmet holes would be a pipe dream if only
I think the new gunship should have been cheaper but I like that they made it minifigure scale
Not quite minifig scale, it's scaled down but they messed up the proportions
Never own a gunship but I’ll be getting 4 of these
I think this set is based off the Zilo Beast arc, which explains the inclusion of Palpatine and Padme
Great review! I think that this gunship is pretty good but since I have the 2008 variant of the gunship, I think I can wait a little bit before buying this. Also the fox does need a waistcape for me so I might have to pick one up once I buy this for myself.
The 'engines' are actually Big canons. You can see this in ep 2, were they get reloded in the famous 'gunships flooding the arena' sequence. Therefore there not beeing a 'thrust colour' is accurat.
"We're out of rockets sir!" Yeah I noticed that too.
Love the daily uploads Ryan keep up the good work 👍❤
Even though i will be buying 2-3 of these the biggest flaw you pointed out that will bug me is full access to the back of the interior. I really wish the back opened.
I love the compact size of the gunship, if anything more displayable to mocs but you need functionality
I like the color and stripe details. I am not a fan that it is smaller than a standard Gunship. Thank you for the video and commentary 😊
I can’t believe the difference so many little extra features with the other gunships, bacta tanks, weapons, communication, drones. This should be £100 max.
There is no thrust effect because those are not the engines. LEGO has finally realized this lol. Those large "cones" on the very top are the rocket launchers. The engines are those black "grill" pieces on the back
It has lots of pros and cons for me...but I was hoping for regular one or at least some of other clone units (from the actual frontlines) so it's a no for me. I waited for 10 years, I can wait 10 years more for a perfect one
I’m glad they made a specialist Gunship, but it is really small. I wonder if it’s closer to the original Gunship or the Tac-Pod from Ambush on Ferrix.
The Republic Gunship being smaller is actually more accurate
But it’s still worse
I really like this scale a lot more. Way easier to use in mocs, way less difficult to store. Sucks that we didn’t get more figures to help the downsize
@@thomasgolds4585I have to agree I don’t have any gunships yet but I still look forward to getting this
Not really. The new one is 1:48 scale which is much smaller than the 1:40-1:42 that most people consider to be minifigure scale. And a lot of MOC builders actually build around 1:35 to accommodate the Minifigs width. So the older Gunship is a perfect balance between those two at 1:37 scale.
I wish and hope that with a new Palpatine in his red robe attire in this set, LEGO can use this character, give him a sith eyes alternative face and make a new Palpatine’s Arrest for 2025, perhaps?
You could just swap out the head from that set
I think if they did a new palpatine's office or arrest, that it could work as a UCS set , they could include the room where Palpatine is confronted and kills Fisto/Kolar and Saesee instead of just having the main office room.
Yall to hopeful
Shrinkflation even hit LEGO. Sad, but I do like the set still and am grateful for it being released.
40% off I might buy it
6.5/10 because of the unjustified price. At that price I would expect 10/10 quality
Should've had 2 extra Troopers and more equipment details inside
The fact that the reason this set has one more piece than the AT-TE is that Fox has two blasters instead of one is just hilarious to me.
Its criminal they didn't make Thorn the main named clone, it would have made this set way better and more accurate
If you want to display it with the AT-TE, the new one is better sized. The gunship are supposed to be smaller than the walkers.
The only weird issue I have with this is that they turned 4 doors into 2 big ones.
For all the talk about lego being a kid's toy they sure skipped on the play functions compared to the last two. I just display my lego these days but still a bummer.
Can’t wait to watch this review man!!! Another daily upload!!! Keep it up Ryan
Isn’t it weird how Lego removed waist capes because it “limited playability” such as characters sitting down.
But meanwhile, they make figures like Palpatine which have no playability whatsoever in their legs.
But yeah, let’s just ignore that because it’s a kids toy or whatever.
Ok fellas whats the next set we should bully lego into making?
Turbo tank for sure
Definitely Juggernaut (turbo tank)
Arc troopers
@@manuxx3543 even better then a turbo tank
Loving the quality of the vids! Keep up the great work!
Munilest 10 gunship would probably be their best selling Lego set of all time. 2 blue arc troopers, 1 red, and at LEAST 2 other regular clones, maybe even clone armor Obi Wan and Dirge....
The Fox design choice is odd: they are clearly able to print just the chest plate, as we see in the shock troopers, but they didn't. Plus, the pink-ish-ness would of been solved by using a standard white clone print, then just swapping out the arms for red (or printing them) and adding his chest and belt red print.
On the one had, they gave us a cheaper Gunship, this could of easily been $170 to make it to scale of the previous versions, and instead its the same price as the at-te. On the other hand, I think most of the people willing to spend $140 would be OK with $170 if it meant a larger, more accurate gunship (and maybe a couple extra pilots?)
Still, I am glad they made it, and I will be getting it, might even be day 1 purchase (I usually wait for the 20% off at walmart)
Please don't call 2013 "ten years ago"
Could we possibly be seeing a courasant battle pack in the future?
i’m glad we are holding these big corporations to standards
Great review. It is so unfortunate how much smaller this is from the other models.
If Clovis was in this set with Padme, Anakin would be very upset
They probably chose that outfit for Padme because it's her most iconic one from TCW. They used it on a book cover once too.
The downsize is more accurate. The previous gunships have all been larger than minifigure scale, so I actually like the size. What I have a problem with is that LEGO figured with a smaller size they could make a worse set (doors not opening properly, cockpits being too big, et cetera).
Although this set is much smaller than before, I think it's a little closer to minifigure scale than previous inversions. Clones can be seen holding on to the roof in the gun ship and the door openings aren't terribly taller than a clone trooper. Yet in the older one the door openings were super tall. No way a minifig could ( hold onto the roof ) the same way as in the movies, I would say if it was just slighter larger than it is now, maybe a stud bigger everywhere, it'd feel better
At least we actually got a fox and im Glad about that fact, but the thing is, as ungrateful as it sounds: this was the only chance of getting a Thorn minifig like ever 😢
Should’ve been both tho, this set clearly needs another figure and Thorn would be the perfect one to add
Lego:
Only the best is Good Enough
ManRproductions:
🤦♂️
I havent seen me some mandrproductions since like 2020 i believe, and i like this new video style. Keep the style up!
I feel like bubble turrets are more of a play feature then the stud shooters on the wings
I must admit, LAN kicking him out, is saddening but they still give the mistake of releasing sets early, amazing Ryan, 10/10 review, I can’t give this a rating, not in a good way, amazing Ryan, lookin out for the Ghost review 😊
I would rather have Ryan be truly independent than a LAN LEGO shill that can’t talk about leaks rumors and etc
@@eastonsaccount I might not always agree with Ryan but I feel like he (and other non-affiliated channels) have far more credibility than LAN individuals who get handed free sets.
@@Luke_SkywaIker exactly bro
Found this review great, keep up the good work Ryan 👏
I'd love it if you made a video of what gunship you can build using 2 of those sets. Kind of like you did with the boba fett's palace set
Love the minifig scale design. Biggest complaint is the stud shooters
Stud shooters are such cheap excuses for detailed turret design
Tbh, the shocktroopers from 7671 AT-AP look way better than these 2023 ones. I know that they had massive helmets and black faces underneath but they didn’t have as many inconsistencies with printing compared to these new ones that just look like chinese knockoffs.
Bruh how do the 2023 shock troopers look like knock offs? They’re ONLY “issue” is the helmet holes aside from that they are perfect, nostalgia can truly cloud somewhat a judgement. This are objectively the best shock troopers
It's a mostly good looking, but given the 20th anniversary, this 100% should have been a muunilinst 10 gunship. Now that would have been a day 1 purchase.
Very nice meeting you at brick fan fest today Ryan!
Am I the only person who likes the new clones?
No
Bro I appreciate Lego Star Wars fans for getting Lego in their place, but my goodness they are winey. Liek they look great bro
I love how you compared this to the 08 Gunship considering both were from TCW
Which is the best version of it. The version with the ball turrets on the side just looks dumb.
@@TheFirstCurse1 well those ones with the ball turrets are accurate to AOTC. Also tbh I know this new version has one big door which is wrong but I’m not sure how they could make the double doors not be offset like on the 08 version
hmmmm, a fine addition to my collection! I don't mind the smaller scale, or foxes torso, but I do mind the lack of more clones in the set and the door problem, hoping to pick this one up near black Friday!
You do want to know how many times I have rewatched this
I don't get how they could get Fox THAT wrong. If it was just the stripe being small or just the middle of the torso being the wrong color or just the kneepads being the wrong color then maybe I could understand it, but all three is just insane.
He deserves it for fives
@peabrain6872 fives should've just dropped the gun but I guess fox should've just let fives shoot him
@@anti4107 fox is useless he wouldve been better dead
I think that the size is good, it strikes a fair balance to make it as close as possible to true minifigure scale
love ur vids mandr
I've been here since 20k subs and it's crazy to see how far you've come
Hi Ryan, can You compare sizes to Razor Crest? As far as I'm aware, they're about the same "life size" and in LEGO form they have almost the same size, so it would be nice to see them two side by side 😊
I actually quite like the downsized look to it. It is more accurate. There are scenes in TCW inside the gunship where you can clearly see that it has a rather cramped interior. I love the red look to it as well. There definitely are issues to the set, like the doors being inaccurate and the front side panels having nothing in them. But overall, I really like this set and might pick it up when it comes out.
I built a ep 2 gunship just out of pieces over a year ago and besides mine matching the older sizes, all mechanics match perfectly. Their design team managed to matched a guy using leftover pieces
After building two of the gunships they’re pretty big models as someone that never build the previous ones. Honestly any bigger would feel way too big imo.
But yeah the door definitely need to open bigger and this gunship build would be fantastic.
They’re not way too big just slightly oversized, go and watch attack of the clones the gunships are massive so this gunship is too small
If I had a nickel for every 2023 lego set based on a TV show releasing on September 1st with a red colour scheme and a reduced size (compared to older iterations) then I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
What else are you referring to?
I planned on buying this but im changing my mind.
Lego star wars needs to improve in price, size, and quality
Great review as always. The colorway is amazing but I really dislike the downsize and the lack of play features on this set.
Nice review!
Very insightful
Shouldn’t the commander fox be commander thoron if we’re going off of season 6 material?
Dude the helmet holes aren’t that bad ppl need to stop complaining it’s not that big of a deal
The price is ridiculous for what you get, but im actually glad it’s smaller because now it’s closer to minifigure scale
Finally, I’ve been avoiding others waiting for your review. Thank you! 💕🔥🥰
I think if they were trying to make that episode of the CW then they would've given us Thorn instead of Fox
3 things are certain in life: Death, Taxes, and LEGO screwing up simple details on Clones
I’m so glad to finally see it in-hand!
The reason fox's chestplate is pinkish i because the red is printed on first then the white, but the red is the more dominant colour so it shines through the white so we see a white pinkish colour
It may be a down sized republic gunship, I think this Gunship looks pretty cool. Very decent because of the minifigure selection and the features on the Gunship.
To be honest the fact that the gunship is slimmer actually makes it look better and less clunky than previous gunships in my eyes.
It's also more accurate.
@@bilbobeutlin3319 that as well
Hi Ryan, great video. Nice breakdown of The Gunship. I dont have The Republic Gunship (which I would like to get) but do to space and money will be picking this one up.
Finally after all those days. Ryan made the review.. for a set i cant aford
Honestly id say this set is very accurate with the minifig selection since the corruscant clone troopers actually pilot the ship in the show also the set overall is alr pretty good design
