LEGO Star Wars 75354 CORUSCANT GUARD GUNSHIP Review! (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?

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

To be fair. Season 1 Padme suit is way better than anything Padme ever wore in CW

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. 🎉

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

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.

This set just made the 2013 gunship even more valuable.. damn

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)

[GalacticBrix]

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.

I think its eye-popping and unique but it’s audience is more niche than if they did a standard gunship.

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.

10 years later… the playscale Republic Gunship is back baby! 🔥 Day 1 pick-up!

[chasethespongeking]

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

[thefearlesssword]

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 😅

[numark]

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!

[audioequation]

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.

[gersoncrispin]

The Republic Gunship being smaller is actually more accurate

[KoPT]

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.

[willbricksproductions]

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!

[UwwBlake]

LAN members must be so jealous to see Ryan continue to review sets before them. I love it!!
