@@Zeqweery Yep, that's the reason why we only have 2 prequel era UCS sets! Kind of a bummer, most people want prequel and clone wars sets, yet we get another lukes landspeeder or a tie fighter

The first three lego models got me so accustomed to having those mono-red engines on top of the gunship that I thought the ones on the UCS being mostly white was an error. After looking up images from the movie though, I see that the mostly white look is the more accurate one
@@RedFlannelReviews Is that what those are? I honestly didn't know. I figures they weren't rocket launchers since you have the missiles batteries right next to them tucked into the top
@@343Films Yeah. The batteries or "magazines" rotate the next round into the chamber of the launcher just like you see in episode 2 when the gunship is taking off.
Honestly, I prefer the Clone Wars (show) version, because of the side stickers (which are lore accurate) and the ability to close the side doors more. Also, the ability to put a speeder bike inside is great in terms of play.
I just want the newest version of the 2013 set, with some more details, and good minifigs, even if it will cost around 180$. It's not the price that stops me from the UCS, is the size.
I personally had the 2008 version and as a kid that was definitely my favorite lego set and probably still is. Actually managed to rebuild it from memory a few years ago.
The 2008 gunship is cool after removing the grey piece inside I was able to fit 8 clone troopers and it displays pretty well! The 2013 gunship is amazing and has great play/display ability! Don’t have the 2002 one yet but those old clone trooper are so nostalgic and so is Jedi bob! Side note when a gunship is released an AT-TE is close or not far behind!
Definitely going to get the UCS gunship once the hype dies down a bit... the problem I have is it's so f*cking huge, I have no idea where I'm going to display it.
I much prefer the gunship design where the doors fully close ngl, having a huge opening didnt rlly make sense to me for a ship(i guess the context of troop transport makes sense in the movies but still, it literally cant go into space)
In fairness they weren’t designed to The republic vehicles were all designed together so it was assumed they would all act as a part of a greater whole So the gunship would never be in space unless in an acclimator and it’s Main job was deploying troops and AT units from the acclimator bays and potentially carrying out precision strikes though obviously as a back up role since these things are fragile as hell (minimal armour, no shields (despite shields increasing planetary speeds) and wide gaps for clones to get in and out efficiently
Later versions yes but it’s honestly likely the designers didn’t expect it to be used without an acclimator while that is theorised to not even initially have weapons as it was supposed to be supported by venators
i wish i didnt throw out my lego club magazines, seeing the older sets made me remember the lego 'culture' at the time especially on early youtube, such good memories
I think in the older battlefront series video game, when we could fly these gunships on galactic conquest, The wing turrets were manned by clone troopers.
Clone Wars Gunship supremacy! All the little things add up. Fully closing doors, speeder, command thing, medical pod, probe droids, flick rockets. Maybe I'm biased because it was my favorite set to play with as a kid.
As a 2013 LAAT owner, I preferred the 2013 speeder due to it being able to exit the gunship with the character on it, but I will give you the 2008 advantages on everything else.
I just got the 2013 gunship sealed aside from torn up box for $50 a few days ago from a garage sale and I cannot believe it because it is one of my all time favorite sets and I’ve been back and forth about dropping $500 on one so getting it for so low is a dream come true.
I’ll always prefer 2013, but since I have a play scale one I’m gonna get the UCS one too. Who knows maybe I’ll collect every gunship, get me the clone wars one and Jedi Bob one.
PERFECTLY BALANCED, AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE. 2013 is in my top 5 beloved sets of all time and that line was delivered perfectly for it. had me dead ngl lmaoo
I had the original gunship back in 2002 when I was about 10, and as a kid it was my favorite set just for sheer play value. I'm definitely gonna have to buy the UCS model
I think if you look at it now, the 2013 gunship (which is easily the best play scale gunship) is about 400$ sealed. If you really wanted to get a good gunship you might as well buy the ucs one because unlike the 2013 one, it's well worth the hefty price tag
I sold my 2013 model around a year ago and assumed the UCS version wouldn’t be much larger, but the thumbnail was a pleasant surprise! The UCS edition is massive!
I swear this USC could’ve been so better, you don’t even have the ability to close the doors plus I personally believe that the interior should’ve been more detailed with controls and stuff that’s not stickers.
the clone wars version has front and back doors, this version is based off the movies which have ball turrets and no front doors so it would be inaccurate to the movies if it had the closing doors and of course this is ucs so they want to make it as accurate as possible. The interior details are very close to the real thing and it shouldn't have more detailing since it would be inaccurate.
I would say if you're an adult, maybe go for the new UCS one, but if you're a kid and want a playscale version, the 2013 one will be too expensive, so I'd say you'll have the most fun building your own Gunship moc. I did this before I got the 2013 version and I had a blast adding features like a missile bombing function. Hopefully there will be another play scale one in the future from ROTS
I only have the 2008 one. I would have loved the 2013 one, but I don't have enough room to buy more than one of the same vehicle. I'm always struggling to find anywhere to put my Lego as it is. My collection has been going since 2005 so it's almost impossible.
missed a play feature on the first one it splits in half so the bottom section becomes a command center( also part of the reason it splits in the front gives more access when it a command center) and the top half become a weird aircraft thing and there is also an access panel on the top so you can see the "engines" or store stuff in
You know what would be absolutely amazing, is if Lego made an all grey LAAT from The Bad Batch, specifically from episode 11. it'd be something different but at the same time, really awesome!
Really wish they would have made it minifig scale. I feel like the play sets are slightly undersized. Doing the USC one would give them a chance to make it a perfect size and add a shit ton of cool figures
@@0netrick198 They're as close as it can be, I think. Lego sets will never be 100% on scale because the minifig isn't scaled with a human. You'll always compromise height or width or overall volume...
oh what'd be coo like a kasshyk trooper in the ball turrets. Or a Death star style clone trooper shooting laser beams kind of foreshadowing the death star eventually.
There’s a site, I think it’s rebrickable? Or bricklink? Where you can buy specific pieces, depends how many you are missing but it might not be too much.
Is it possible that you could make a video with ideas of how to realistically display or store the ucs gunship? I'd love to get an idea of how I could display it and how it would fit in.
I keep saying this.. a ucs set should not have stickers.. hell sets above a certain price should not have stickers.. they make enough money from sets like that to include printed pieces. It just sucks having a gorgeous expensive set where the so much depends on the right placement off stickers..
4:20 no it doesn’t the one in clone wars is different it has outer space doors and no bubble turrets unlike the ucs gunship form episode 3 and 2.amd every gunship that appeared in the last season and the bad batch they were all clone wars styled
As a kid, I had the 2002 version and loved it! It seemed so huge for me as I haven't seen other gunships yet. It had interesting features not shown in movies - opening front and the container with the magnet inside. It is also the only set which had 4 regular clone troopers. Pearl blue super droids and a droideka were also awesome. And... the True Hero of Geonosis who survived the battle on the arena, Order 66 and Episode 9 - Jedi Bob! Then I bought the 2013 version. I like the overall look and some of play features more, but it lacks something the 2002 version had. Maybe just a subjective opinion of someone who had the 2002 set in childhood.
I didn’t realize the 2013 gunship is the only with a pilot except the microfighter one. You could say it’s more accurate then the UCS gunship in that sense.
