Its the dealbreaker for me in this set. I can forgive a couple of wrong prints in the fox fig and the grey visor as well as the doors but lego ignoring the most iconic part of the ship to include a couple of dumb shooter for kids IN A 140$ SET, is absolutely outrageous. I really hope this flops

The scale is better, closer to reality, lots of people hate that it’s smaller but I think it’s closer to what it actually is, price isn’t pretty though

I love videos like this because instead of whining about every small detail just use what lego provides to fix the problem

Unpopular opinion: I think that dark grey visor and kama are actually accurate for Fox. When you compare it's colors with black overall under his armor, it's supposed to be lighter color.

Holly crap with the bubble turrets changed it looks so much better I know it has other problems but when I get it I’ll display it with the doors shut so I don’t see that as as much of a problem since objective when the doors are open they look worse then if there were two but when they’re closed there’s no gap in between

i agree with you saying it’s the right size looking a photos form the clone warsand attack of the clone it is basically to scale but because past gunships have been bigger everyone seems to think that this new one have been shrunk

The visor was literally grey in the reference picture you showed for Fox lol

As someone who never plans on selling my minifigs, I’m considering taping off the sections on Fox’s Torso that are ok, around the portion that’s white but shouldn’t be, and taking a very tiny amount of acetone on toothpicks and rubbing the white off inside the print lines to expose the red underneath. If I ruin it, oh well, then I’ll shell out to buy a pad printed torso

If Fox’s legs were dual molded with black on top and white on bottom, so that the kama would go all the way around, I wouldn’t mind the printed kama.

Mainly the doors but i may look into the bubble turrets

I would disagree about the Padme figure. In all her other variants have used something better resembling her face, like with the dimple for example. In this case they clearly just took an existing face and slapped it on their. I actually am less annoyed with fox than I am Padme.

@shadow-squid4872

9 ай бұрын

At least the Jyn Erso head still fits Padmé pretty well, and if you have the old 2013 head you can easily swap it around. But Fox is unfixable unless you order custom prints or modify the print yourself, they messed up both his torso and his kneepads

I mean, it is a really good modification for sure. But I can't look away from those bubble turrets on the wings, they kinda look like a pill to me😅

out of all these I don't understand the missiles as it actually makes it less accurate, their placement on the 2013 and 2008 gunship is to make it playable while having them fire from approximately the right place

gray is the accurate color of the visor, not black though lol

The easiest mod for the wing turrets: replace the grey 4x4 plates under them with the 4x4 turntable base. Now you can rotate the turrets! I don't know why TLG didn't do this. It doesn't even increase the "unique part count" for the set.

I hate that the gunship has not a command post or a spiderbike. The older were better but the colour Its crazy!

I just want to remind everyone in the comment section that this set was originally made for kids. The UCS Republic Gunship was made to satisfy AFOLs. So please, stop hating on this set and use the magnificent mods in this video to make it how you want it.

The Padmé in this set reuses the Jyn Erso face instead of bringing back the fantastic Padmé face from the 2013 gunship, so I would swap the head out with the older one as it’s actually meant to be Padmé. Fox also has inaccurate knee pads, as his kneepads are supposed to be red but on the minifigure they’re white. Yet another inaccuracy with his figure :(
