The use of larger parts and plates helps create the final look and somewhat explains the reduced need for more pieces. Bag 3 rounds out the upper turret area and introduces us to the clone army and their Jedi leader. The majority of the build (base) is done in the first two bags along with the battle droids. Not heavy on content here, but the end results are honestly pretty good. Inside the push-tab box you will find 3 numbered bags, a sizeable sticker sheet and an 88 page instruction book.
#LEGO STAR WARS REPUBLIC FIGHTER TV#
Is this the new ‘mascot’ for the Star Wars sets? Possibly that, or just a nod to The Clone Wars TV show this vehicle appears in. There’s action shots on the front and a 332nd Clone Trooper in the bottom right.
The Republic Fighter Tank (75342) is packaged in a standard box with the usual Star Wars scenery. Not the best start, but things do get better! BUILD: 70% Averaging the two, the Republic fighter Tank gets a final value score of 57%. Sadly the score for this criteria drops even lower to just 52%. I built the set in just over 36 minutes, translating to a cost-per-minute of $1.39. This brick count therefore nets ye olde Fighter Tank an unfortunately low score of 63%. The average for reviewed sets to date is $0.13, so this is WELL above and pretty costly. With just 262 pieces inside the box, this translates to a cost-per-brick of $0.19. The all-new Republic Fighter Tank (75342) retails for $49.99 in Canada. OVERALL SCORE: 74% (a pricey and small set saved by excellent figs and good design).ENTERTAINMENT: 72% (great playset for younger builders, awesome minifigs for collectors).MINIFIGURES: 100% (6 minifigures is substantial for a set this size, 4 of which are all new).
#LEGO STAR WARS REPUBLIC FIGHTER UPDATE#
BUILD: 70% (simple and quickly built, but a decent update over prior versions with nice detailing).VALUE: 57% (VERY low scores for cost-per-brick and cost-per-minute even for a small set).MINIFIGURES: 6 (4 exclusive new prints, 2 stock battle droids).For a breakdown of the rating system, please click here. This does not guarantee a favourable review and all opinions are my own. Set.NOTE: This set was provided by The LEGO® Group to True North Bricks for review. Price: 8/10 Sure this thing is great, but I think its overpriced at 569 kr. Parts: 10/10 At 592 parts, this is one of the CW sets with the best parts/price ratio. Minifigs: 7/10 An extra fig or two would have been great eventually a Jedi or a commando.ĭesign: 8/10 This only looses a couple of points for being oversized, but it’s a great looking model. This function is triggered by opening the backdoor. Inside the cockpit is space for two figs one seated in front of two computer screens and one placed in a moveable seat, which moves up and down, allowing the fig to pop up the top hatch and staying hidden while the hatch is closed. The side guns and the gun on the top rotate.
The front opens up as well to reveal the engine. I very much like the white and dark red color scheme, mixed with a bit of lime green (even though there is no lime green bricks ) ).īoth of the wings contain a hidden compartment to store the blasters and a part that rotates to reveal three flickfire missiles. This thing is HUGE (25cm long and 22cm wide), and far oversized in my opinion, but looks great nonetheless. It also comes with two short blasters and a bag of clone accessories. The set comes with two of the new Clone Wars clone troopers, which in my opinion are pretty cool. It is getting dark here right now, so some of the pictures are a bit dark. Stickers: 9 (My sticker sheet wasn’t curled up)īefore I start I will apologize for the bad quality of the pictures.
