LEGO Star Wars REPUBLIC FIGHTER TANK Comparison! (7679, 75182, 75342 | 2008, 2017, 2022)

All 3 LEGO Star Wars Republic Fighter Tank sets look substantially different. In this comparison we go through which Fighter Tank set looks the best, is the best value for your money, and has the best Minifigures! The Clone Wars themed Minifigures also range from good to GREAT in each set! The NEW 187th Clone Troopers & Mace Windu are FANTASTIC whilst the OG Clone Wars Troopers are good, and the small 2017 model's Minifigures disappoint with more Battle Droids than Clone Troopers...

Which Republic Fighter Tank is your favorite?

[JohnRumelfanger]

When you realize the $40 fighter tank has more clones than the 2013 AT-TE… LEGO needs to make more clone sets like this.

[ActionBrix]

The minifig selection for the 2008 fighter tank is literally the most common figs you could get during the time. 2017 had an exclusive phase 2 gunner and exclusive Aylaa Secura plus 2 battle droids. Definitely better in my opinion, though the 2022 fighter tank has the overall best minifigure selection

[natewrld]

2017 is underrated, it looks the most accurate. Sure it’s small but I think it looks perfect to an actual tank

[ArkSucksAtGames]

I disagree with the 2008 set having better figures than the 2017 set. I don’t think the Republic fighter tank is necessarily a “Clone Set” but more of a “Republic set.” Now the latest version has become a clone set, but even still, the 2017 set gives you the tank, a clone to pilot it, a Jedi to command him, and two enemies to fight the battle droids.

I made this comment way too long but oh well.

[rtbeaver]

I'd be interested to see whether or not it's possible to improve on the look of the 2022 design with 2 or 3 of this set.. feel like it's a set people will buy multiple of anyway to army build the 187th so maybe possible to bulk up the large flat wall on either side of the tank and make it look a little better, maybe even get rid of that gap at the front?

[ascnded]

Personally while I love the 2022 minifigure selection, my favorite is the 2017 one because I really like the build and how compact it is.

[darthjarjar]

I feel like it's important to mention, that these three aren't based of the same model. The 2008 and 2022 comparison is fair, yeah. But the 2017 version is a different type of tank. only one clone can fit in there which already means, that everytime he says "two clones can't fit in there", he's right, because that's the way it's supposed to be. this whole review is like comparing an AT-AT to an AT-M6. Just doesn't make sense

[willkroll]

Minifig scale refers to the overall dimensions of the model, not the amount of figures you can fit inside of it… It’s not fair to expect Lego to design sets at that scale because it can be difficult to fit figures in at times, and they have certain price points that they have to hit/certain stability and playability standards they have to meet for their models. That being said, the 2017 model is the closest to Minifig scale, and has more accurate proportions, and in my opinion that puts it above the other two. Not to mention that with some (admittedly heavy) modification, you could easily fit two minfigs inside without sacrificing the proportions.

[Flashevs]

I feel like being more minifig scale is valid when the vehicle is small enough to actuall be made to scale

[The_Brickster]

I've got to say, the size differences here are nuts. I'd be interested to know if there is any other Lego star wars vehicle that has varied so wildly? Perhaps the vulture droid? Also, gotta say that I do like the 2022 size the best...and I feel like a total traitor to the 2017 model.

[SithtrooperNein]

2:23 early tank has 2 lackluster clones while middle tank has a cool gunner and Able Secura

[joelpaltzer]

Man those nostalgia goggles must have been pretty cloudy during this comparison.

[goldgamer]

I love when he was talking about how the 2008 model rolls better, and then lined them up and pushed them all and the 2022 one went farther

[depressedpumpkin]

I think the newest one is the best all around set. It's a good middle ground in size and offers way more figures at it's comparative price point.

[cloudcleaver]

The 2017 one is accurate for crew complement. It's the tank's original variant from the 2002 The Clone Wars game; it was a single-seater there, and a variant with an exposed manned turret on top was added by Battlefront.

[paulsnell]

I bought the 2017 version simply because of Aayla Secura. I think aesthetically the fighter tank of 2017 is more pleasing looking than the other 2.

[enjoylegosw]

I think you can actually fit all three clone troopers in the new model because of the space behind the front clone seat. Commander bricks shows this in his review of the set.

[bluehero-]

I personally prefer the 2017 tank, because it's so sleek and manageable. So there are fewer finicky gimmicks, but it's more manageable for a small child to play with, and easier to display and store. Aayla Secura is also a far rarer character than Mace Windu, but I'll admit that not having a regular clone (especially when this is phase two era) is disappointing.

[veryblocky]

I think the 2017 tank is the best of the three here. The 2008 is too big for what it needed to be, I know you say that’s something you like about it but I’m of the opinion it’s unnecessary. I think the 2017 figure selection is better than 2008, I think it’s proportions are better, and I think it looks better generally.

I can see that only getting one clone isn’t great, but I’d still prefer that over two shinies.
