About this deal

Edit 5/15: I've changed the rear hatch so it's on a clip instead of hinge and is now one stud shorter to better fit the overall smaller size. This should be the final version unless I find that the wings are unstable after building them in person. The LEGO Group has been faithfully recreating iconic starships, vehicles, locations, and characters from the Star Wars universe since 1999. The Star Wars theme has become one of LEGO's most successful, captivating fans of all ages. The Republic Fighter Tank is a testament to the attention to detail and commitment to quality that LEGO is known for. This minifigure selection seems somewhat surprising, since the purple-armoured troopers originate from Star Wars Legends." Wooow. Like others have said, the body looks really plain. Figs are nice tho. Also, de-exclusivifying (it’s a word (no it’s not)) the mace windu from the gunship. Hm. Don’t see them doing that with og trilogy figs in d2c sets."

What you really want to know from this review is whether the rest of 75342 Republic Fighter Tank is worth a slice of your LEGO budget, and the answer is satisfying straightforward: yes, almost certainly. It’s not the biggest Republic Fighter Tank, nor the prettiest, but it bests both its predecessors in at least one department, and for that it shouldn’t be overlooked – at least if only to see how the LEGO Group has managed to come up with a third completely different way to build this vehicle. The canon question is funny to me as a die hard Legends fan, since Legends sets or figures appear once in a blue moon. Also, I am not really into legends as I think that Canon is more worthwhile to know in terms of actual star wars geekiness. XD"The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures The TX-130 does originate from Star Wars Legends, but joined the modern canon when the vehicle appeared in Star Wars Battlefront II. Honestly, I like getting different troopers! It makes things exciting when new ones appear to add to the army. Seeing figures from non-canon sources is also nice because it brings plenty of nice surprises while opening up more possibilities for sets! Purple-armoured 187th Legion Clone Troopers accompany their commanders and maintain certain familiar features from 75280 501st Legion Clone Troopers. However, the vibrant purple accents are unique and strongly distinguish Mace Windu's troops, within the Grand Army of the Republic. Once again, dual-moulded legs would have been beneficial, but printing looks nice.

El tanque de juguete construible también tiene espacio en la cabina para una minifigura de LEGO Star Wars y un puesto de observación para el comandante clon This minifigure selection seems somewhat surprising, since the purple-armoured troopers originate from Star Wars Legends. Canonically, Mace Windu is often associated with Clone Troopers wearing armour with brown accents. Honestly the whining about the figures in the review and ending up calling the set 'confusing' and 'muddled' without really showing that, are detracting. You wanted different figures, we get it, leave it alone."I don’t get the argument that the 187th legion was the right choice because they’re unique and different. 21st and 327th troopers have never been made before, and are just as unique, in addition to being a lot more desirable of options. Quite some of the fans that are complaining about the figs in this set are the exact same ones who have been asking for more clone unit minifigures? LEGO has absolutely delivered, and I think even though the tank looks overly disappointing, the minifigures are great. Edit 5/14: After getting the kit in hand and building this MOC in person I slightly updated the interior as it didn't fit a minifig even without a helmet. Now it snugly fits one minifig in the front without a helmet with room behind for a second one, and there's still enough space to throw the pilot's helmet and gun in there. If you plan on adding a minifig to the pilot's seat, add them between steps 23 and 24 as the interior gets built around it. Finally, from Volume 2, there’s Chapter 23-25. Mace appears without armor, but briefly flies his purple Ep3 starfighter. This might be the first instance of purple as his signature color, excluding the lightsaber blade, since his Ep2 starfighter was fairly generic ( 7868). Most of the clones he fights alongside are in basic white, and don’t seem to be assigned to him. What few unit markings I can see look like blue or red ARC Troopers.

FYI: the new Star Wars LEGO game is awesome. Go play it. Some stuff in there I need as LEGO product NOW. :D Surely simply knowing the information and being able to notice references that others cannot is good enough, or do you need that surefire satifaction from making someone look as if they are an idiot. These minifigures also wear straps across their armour, further corresponding with the action figures. Each trooper includes a blaster rifle and the Clone Trooper heads under their helmets are identical, naturally. While these minifigures are well-executed, I would have preferred many other legions, or even plain Phase II Clone Troopers instead. LEGO.com has published an image showing 75342 Republic Fighter Tank, which appears under the 'Learn More' tab. This last change of clone trooper style towards the animated shapes ruined clone trooper sets for me, so I don't even care about the usefulness of clone squadrons though I still hope they just do the Galactic Marines so that this covers another Jedis legion.Gastos de envío: 5,90€ a península Ibeírica y Baleares, 6,90€ a Portugal y 19,90€ a Canarias. Información de Envíos I believe the troopers appearing in Clone Wars S7 are supposed to be a branch of 91st Recon, like Lightning Squad, his unit during the Ryloth arc, as the armor color better matches. " Este modelo de tanque de combate TX-130 clase Saber tiene ruedas ocultas para que el vehículo parezca flotar, 2 cañones automáticos elevables y una escotilla trasera In addition to the exciting features and detailed design, this set introduces the 187th Legion Clone Trooper for the first time in LEGO history. This exclusive minifigure adds a unique element to the collection and will surely delight fans and collectors alike. The opportunity to lead their mini-dolls into battle and beyond will ignite the imagination of young space troopers.
