Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser Set 75367 5374 pcs $649.99 Available 10/4 or 10/1 for Insiders LEGO Star Wars fans have been clamoring for a UCS Venator for years, and it's finally here. It's a top-tier model full of detail and two nice minifigs. The exterior box art has the classic 18+ all-black look and the two interior boxes have beautiful art from Revenge of the Sith and The Battle of Coruscant. There are four instruction manuals with a nice write-up about the designer and the model itself. The build itself has 48 bags and was a blast to assemble. Just like other large models, the framework is made from Technic and is very well designed. The stand is very clean and does a really nice job. The nicely detailed command tower has an accurately tilted orientation. Greebling is very well executed throughout the model, but especially on the tower. The dark red dual bridges signify this is a flagship Venator, most likely Anakin Skywalker's, The Resolute. The body of the ship is sprinkled with source material details such as the signature red stripes on the wings, which are nicely tiled, the red hangar doors, that I wish opened but don't, five sets of turbo lasers on each side, which look great, and two hanger bays, one of which is open, displaying a 3-piece Republic Gunship (an homage to the designer's UCS iteration. One cannot overlook the imposing and absolutely gorgeous thrusters in the rear. These are REALLY well done. Sagging may be a concern over time but there is some secondary support for the largest thrusters to mitigate some of that risk. The two exclusive figs included are Admiral Yularen, with dual molded legs, a dual face, and a proper rank and insignia and P2 Captain Rex, who is VERY solid other than missing a cloth waist cape and the dreaded helmet holes. If you collect UCS sets or are a fan of the Clone Wars this set is a must-get. Just make sure you have the space to display the 43" beast. It's massive! This was #gifted to me by @lego as part of the RLFM program. In no way did this influence my review. #lego #legostarwars #reviews #75367 #rlfm
