Coruscant Guard Gunship Set 75354 1083 pcs $139.99 Available now It's been a minute since we've had a play-scale Republic Gunship. 2013 to be exact. Ten years later, we have another, in Coruscant Guard colors nonetheless, and it's really well done. The minifigs are not the highlight of this set and a few of them leave something to be desired. The Gunship itself is not perfect, and a little smaller than the 2013 edition, but is still a nice addition for any LEGO Star Wars fan. The fact this is not a traditional Republic Gunship but rather a niche version tells me the LEGO Star Wars design team is thinking outside the box and will hopefully give us some "fringe" or lesser-known" Clone Wars vehicles in the future. They have to button-up the minifigs though if they want these sets to go from good to great. $139.99 is a lot of money and the minifigs should be accurate and full of detail. Commander Fox does not fit that bill. His chest armor is pink instead of white (as shown on the box.) He deserves a cloth waist cape and desperately needs arm printing. The Shock Troopers are really solid but have those unneeded helmet holes. Palpatine and Padme are fantastic. The Gunship itself looks fantastic. I don't mind the size being a bit smaller. The downside to this scale is you can't hold as many troops in the bay. Also, the door design differs from the source material. I love the color scheme and the white stripes on the side. While I don't like stud-shooters I think these were incorporated nicely. Two troopers fit well in the cockpits. The incorporated Technic beam is a great way to swoosh the ship. Overall, a well-executed design. The Coruscant Gunship is a really nice addition to any LEGO Star Wars fan's collection but the lack of detail and off-color printing in Commander Fox is really frustrating. The pink chest plate shows a lack of product oversight. More attention needs to be given to ensure precise minifigs. It can be done as evidenced by so many other great figs. Hence, this set is good but not great. This was gifted to me by @lego as part of the RFLM program. In no way did this influence my review. #lego #legostarwars #rlfm #reviews #75354
