LEGO Star Wars 75342 REPUBLIC FIGHTER TANK Review! (2022)

The 2022 LEGO Star Wars Republic Fighter Tank is odd... on one hand it has perhaps the BEST Minifigure selection for any $40 LEGO Star Wars set ever. On the other hand the build is a rough mix of Star Wars Battlefront versions of the Republic Fighter Tank (IFT-X & TX-130). Either was the Clone Wars Mace Windu and excellent LEGO 187th Clone Troopers (LEGO Lean Troopers) make this set worth owning at least one!

I hate how "warm" the image in this video looks. Very mad at myself for not being a smarter camera guy...

[compoundcrown]

This is a really good sign for potential new clone troopers, because if they’re willing to add three legends clone troopers to a set like this clearly they would easily make more 212th troopers or other legions. Especially since a shock trooper would only require a slight recolor and torso design change. I’m very hopeful of the new at-te having nee clones, or maybe it’s just wishful thinking.

[brickgamer]

As someone that had the original 187th Hasbro battle pack, this is a huge nostalgia blast for me. A must buy for me for sure.

Honestly a very solid set. I never expected a very large tank and the one we got is more than serviceable and provides a lot of playability, and accessibility. the figures really make the set worth it in my opinion. The mace windu is amazing and the 187th troopers are amazing. Well done on legos part tbh.

[alexandercaproni]

I did not believe until the very end that LEGO would do such a set with not canon stuff, but now that Ryan even did a review on it, I guess that it’s a real thing…

[goron]

The figures all turned out really great in this set. I’d really love to see them make a new AT-OT with Aayla Secura and 327th troopers in the future.

[teddydanielson]

Since I don’t own either of the previous versions, I’ll definitely pick this up. Decent design, I think a sticker on the sides would go a long way (even though I hate stickers), but the figure selection is solid. That Mace Windu is glorious

[coopsauce]

I think the reason for the bigger bulkier design was due to the backlash from the 2017 version which was flatter and sleeker, and people preferred the 2009 big bulkier one, so LEGO compromised and merged the two styles together here

[Sonof_DRN]

I love how the Lego clones are becoming homogeneous. They’ve nailed the formula now, they’ve got the face and skin tone nailed, they’ve got the perfect style and they have the the helmet moulds.


I don’t think they need to improve further than this, any more improvements like arm printing would just add unnecessary cost. Leave stuff like arm printing to named clones/commanders.

[GunnarTobus]

Something to note, the 187th share their helmet printing detail with the Shock Troopers, so it’s possible that we could get shock troopers soon.

[Wowee-zs]

A very solid set in my opinion! I feel like a lot of people judged it too early coming from that first picture, as now since we have way better pictures I think it’s a really good looking build! Fantastic MINIFIGURES and amazing Boxart! Definitely going to be picking it up!

[GunnarTobus]

I honestly love this set a lot. It’s a large tank that I can put more Minifigures into, and the clones look excellent. And again, 6 Minifigures in a $40 set is absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to see this compared to the other two models!

[ascnded]

The build might not be the best but the minifigure selection is one of the best. 3 new clones, Macr Windu with arm printing and 2 battle droids is amazing.

[otter]

I'm surprised some people don't like this! This set is amazing with even better mini figures for an AMAZING PRICE!!!

[The_Brickster]

The figs in this set are truly an incredible selection! I'm coming around on the design too. I spent a lot of my childhood playing the 2005 Battlefront II so I'm extremely nostalgic for the super angular look. I've hardly touched the new Battlefront because I already have perfection so I had forgotten that the fighter tank got pretty smoothed out and of course that's what Lego would be basing it off of.

[CommandoBrickLEGOstarwars]

Honestly that leak looked so bad but this looks amazing! The build isn’t great but the figs are incredible

[depressedpumpkin]

This is an excellent playset for Lego's target demographic, but a kind of mediocre display model for collectors. Reminds me a lot of how earlier Star Wars sets were made with larger elements and a strong focus on figures. Overall, it's a really nice addition to the lineup.

[cbrickproductions]

Honestly this set looks great- the minifigs are dope, and you get 6 for 40 dollars! Seems like a steal to me lol

[jakevader]

Commander Keller does wear airborne armor in Legends as well, so from a lore perspective that 187th commander checks out.

I bought the mandalore dual last week, and it came with frosted lightsaber blades. I'm glad to see that Lego is continuing it and it's not just a one-off thing
