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
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
Damn mad respect for this guy. Not only does he have amazing ideas, he also finds other people’s solutions and gives credit to them rather than just stealing their content. Awesome video, and a new sub 😂
Great mods, the set definitely got better and I actually like it pretty much this way! Also big respect for not stealing ideas and linking them straight away Big fan of everything here!
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.
The Gunship beam turrets have been my favorite ever since I played the 2002 Star Wars Clone Wars game. Definitely need to do a similar mod when I get mine.
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
With the minifigs, it would have been great to have Padme with dual molded legs as she's always wearing those knee-high ish boots! Otherwise, couldn't agree more! Also WOW, that reversal stud technique to hold the 4x4 round plate in place! That's ingenious.
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
Even with its short comings I still think its an amazing looking set and its release has finally given me a chance to own a lego republic gunship, well done Lego I say
Thank you. I might just have to try this for my own Lego build channel. Great idea for the Tourette’s and filling in the gaps. I saw that split door video. That’s a cool idea.
Thank you tons, I really love this set, could get over the door problem as on display with the doors closed it does not matter, but the stud shooters really do look terrible. Now I can get it and fix it (BTW, white domestic are more accurate for the courascant gunship)
IM SORRY GUYS BUT I JUST CANT HANDLE ALL THE WHINING THAT COMES FROM LEGOS FANS. I HAVE TO WATCH VIDEOS LIKE THESE WITH THE SOUND OFF BECQUSE THE COMPLAINTS DRIVE ME COMPLETELY OUT OF MY MIND (IF YOU COULDN'T ALREADY TELL)
I went to the Lego store around may or something and I asked the worker there if there was gonna be a new gunship soon. He said he wasn’t allowed to tell us, and that he didn’t know the full plans for the sets, but he wasn’t gonna say no, then he said it shouldn’t be too long. He didn’t lie bro
Thanks great fixs but.... i like them original! No customs for me laddy! The improvements on the wings with the white and the boubles are dope tho. Thanks for sharing.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 :(
There's only way to fix it turn it into a REG Gunship. Hahahaha. Jokes aside these suggestions are great and make the set a whole lot better still don't understand why it was of the courascant guard when we haven't gotten a reg one since 2013 a d with the UCS version being available I'd thought they'd have the playscale counter part.
Wow the bubble turrets look 100% better than the shooters. I hate that they choose to go that route. What an improvement this is!!
Thanks Scott!!
I hate that they didn’t add bubble turrets on wings
In the show there is no bubble torrents on this gunship
@@evandesquibes24602:45 there ist a screenshot. Ofc there are Bubbles on the wings.
@@AromazusatzI think he’s talking about the retractable turrets on either side of the hanger bay

@@evandesquibes2460yes there is lmao
Honestly I really dig the scale of the new gunship. Nice work on these mods 👍
Glad you like them!
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
Gotta at least try, right?
@@bion-geek-le1109 I don’t get it. Would you not expect the highest quality in a set costing 140 dollars, instead of having to fix legos mistakes
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
Makes sense! Yeah I think the bubble turrets really add a lot!
The back of the gunship looks like disturbed Elmo and I can't unsee it
Damn mad respect for this guy. Not only does he have amazing ideas, he also finds other people’s solutions and gives credit to them rather than just stealing their content. Awesome video, and a new sub 😂
Thanks!!
Great mods, the set definitely got better and I actually like it pretty much this way! Also big respect for not stealing ideas and linking them straight away
Big fan of everything here!
Thank you!!
Great mods dude! Love the bubble turrets on the wing and BlaiseTM’s door mod is awesome!!
Thanks man! Glad you like the mod!
The bubble turrets on the wings look fantastic 👏🔥
I subbed just for that bubble turret design. Shit looks clean AF.
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.
The Gunship beam turrets have been my favorite ever since I played the 2002 Star Wars Clone Wars game. Definitely need to do a similar mod when I get mine.
I'm surprised Lego didn't add them since to me that seems like a better place to put the stud shooters.
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.

Looks like a very difficult job with that shading underneath the chest plate
Don’t forget the knee pads, they’re supposed to be red as well
Thank you for sharing the modifications!
You bet!
solid bubble turrets! Will be adding them to the OG set and the color swap set.
Great video and mods!🔥
Awesome video, my man. This is definitely high quality and perfectly executed
Thanks!!
Definitely doing the bubble turret upgrade
Enjoy!
With the minifigs, it would have been great to have Padme with dual molded legs as she's always wearing those knee-high ish boots! Otherwise, couldn't agree more!
Also WOW, that reversal stud technique to hold the 4x4 round plate in place! That's ingenious.
Dual molded legs would have been nice!
@grindingbricks is the genius who came up with the stud reversal technique!
You're welcome, glad you appreciate it!
And swap out her her from the Jyn Erso head to the actual Padmé head from 2013 and it’s perfect

I definitely agree on the scale. Nice upgrades to Fox and the gunship, we needed this.
Thanks!!
I would actually consider buying the one you modified. So much better!
Thanks!!
These mods look great! Will definitely do them when I get this set!
Thanks! Glad you like them!
Sick upgrades mate! Cant wait to do these to my gunship!
😤
Thanks man! Glad you like them!
@@donkeh2263 Yes?
Love the mods you did, great work!
Glad you like them!
Gettin' this set soon and already seen reviews, I LOVE IT!!

The bubble turrets you added was genius
I can't wait to get this new gunship, sadly I need to wait for christmas for it
Hope you enjoy it when the time comes!
I like the fact they have made a smaller version
The 2008 and 2013 versions are to big to properly display or use in a MOC
Studio is looking insane🔥 Sick video🙌
Thanks man!!
IM SORRY GUYS BUT I JUST CANT HANDLE ALL THE WHINING THAT COMES FROM LEGOS FANS. I HAVE TO WATCH VIDEOS LIKE THESE WITH THE SOUND OFF BECQUSE THE COMPLAINTS DRIVE ME COMPLETELY OUT OF MY MIND (IF YOU COULDN'T ALREADY TELL)
Then sit by and pay more and more for less and less. I get it, but some of these are valid, Like why take that away?
Seriously fantastic vid, I'm significantly more tempted to get the set. I'm super happy I dropped a subscription during that ACOB stream!
Thanks for the sub!!
Nice. I like this method for the turrets.
Glad you like it!
This is cool, i wish I was good at building with lego to come up with mods like these
One pet peeves about the set is the the dang stud shooters and not the bubble turrets
Agreed!
Just ordered it!🎉
for a second there i thought you were gonna make flick-fire missiles 😆
Thought about it! haha
If I get the gunship imma try to do the bubble turret one at least. It looks so much better! Awesome job bro!
I went to the Lego store around may or something and I asked the worker there if there was gonna be a new gunship soon. He said he wasn’t allowed to tell us, and that he didn’t know the full plans for the sets, but he wasn’t gonna say no, then he said it shouldn’t be too long. He didn’t lie bro
You just got a subscriber and a like for that link in the description and amazing modification you came up with, great job keep it up ❤
I don't quite understand the reason as to why a lot of custom lego builders like to remove the shooting pieces from their mocks.
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.
I like the new set up it’s 🔥
Thanks!!
@@firebirdbricks no problem
The visor was literally grey in the reference picture you showed for Fox lol
If you want to fix Commander Fox use the Falcon torso from the mini figure pack with black widow and 2 aim agents
“Only the best is good enough”
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Bubble bois~!
gray is the accurate color of the visor, not black though lol
Thanks great fixs but.... i like them original! No customs for me laddy! The improvements on the wings with the white and the boubles are dope tho. Thanks for sharing.
I am very happy that I was on the vote on this, this is a big step for my pathetic life
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.
Hating on the set is OK, the problem is when people just cry about how stud shooters are so ugly when when they are absolutely fine desighn wise,
fantastic video!
Thank you very much!
Am I the only one who thinks gray is the right color for Fox’s visor? That’s clearly gray on every Fox figure and in Clone Wars.
Brixjust4me made very nice gunship dors too

instead of whining about it, he is a champ about it and perfects it
Glad you like the build!
for anyone who wants to fix the fox torso, you can use an accurate decal of his chest piece and seal it on
What about fixing his kneepads? They’re supposed to be red as well
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
Great video and update for the Gunship!
Can someone tell me the parts you need for the missile launcher?😅

NP!
W content as always
It really is
Thanks!!
@@firebirdbricks No problem
'' The easiest '' way too fix the holes is to swap the helmet with the old one, like the old doesn't go for 100$+ on eBay😂😂
I'm pretty sure he meant to buy individual helmets for about $5 off of bricklink
Here is a tip I found. If Lego doesn’t make a helmet for a character without holes I would suggest GCC because they look like legos
Here: polymer clay, white. You’re welcome
@@lindboknifeandtool Don’t you need to cook it, I don’t want melted legos
thanks i was lanning on doing some of these but i couldnt figure out how
Enjoy the mods!
If lego had made those changes to the gunship i'd buy it...
Thanks might get now
I’m doing dual door mod similar to ewok pilots and stretching the ship 2 studs in the Center section
Lucky man already got one
The padme figure could use dual moulded tan and dark brown legs to give the boots she wears in this outfit
Mainly the doors but i may look into the bubble turrets
I just parted out all the pieces I needed to turn this gunship into a classic one
That sounds awesome!
love those shelves behind you where'd you get em from?
Thanks! They are ikea Ivar shelves!
@@firebirdbricks awesome thanks what about the lights that are lighting up the sets?
I bought a lot of stuff and 2 gunship, I will try my hands at making a 2 door version on my second one
Good luck!
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 :(
🔥🔥🔥
I’d say Padme could’ve had dual molded legs since her boots are a different color from her pants
Also, Ewok Pilot made a mod for the doors that works better !
You forgot fuel molded legs could work for padme brown boots
LEGO did invert field molded legs for fox from marvel falcon
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😅
I'm modifying mine by purchasing more shockies.
m5 needs to make more version of the republic gunship
Would love to see more colors!
I love the coruscant guard troopers but I have a problem with fox so I will get a clone army customs version or maybe grandpa clone customs
The GCC Fox looks sooooooo good!
I hate that the gunship has not a command post or a spiderbike. The older were better but the colour Its crazy!
0:32, kinda reminds me of the Roblox Woman face.
should I get this or t-6 jedi shuttle
I actually think that the small size is more accurate
The way you mounted the upside down circular plates, just wow
You're welcome!
My mod to the gunship will be not buying it, and building the brick vault one instead
I can't say I disagree with this option!
Pl s do something To the chargo area in the front
Someone is watching this video after just finishing there gunship and putting up on there shelves just to se ethos video and felling stupid 😂
You can get a gcc helmet without the helmet holes for only $2.50 Per
Great option!
Could someone come up with a list of ALL the pieces please ?
In the description!
@@firebirdbricks yes but not only the bubble turrets
There's only way to fix it turn it into a REG Gunship. Hahahaha.

Hopefully they will make a regular one soon!
I need more shock troops
Same
Ewok pilot did the double doors first than blaze so I would've gave ewok pilot the shout out.
Just replacing fox with a cac commander thorn
Can you please give me a parts list for for the missiles on top so i can order on brick link thanks!
well alrighty
i cannot find the three hole beam piece anywhere i can’t identify it lol
day 8 still no answer i think i’ve almost got it figured out, thanks for replying and helping out 😂
