Either Matt or David asked the designers why they didn’t include an accurate pilot and they said that they didn’t want to have to make a new mold for the figure. :/
It seemed disingenuous to ask what minifigures we wanted and then double down and claim they're accessories. If they didn't want to add exclusive minifigures, then don't ask the fans to poll on it. I'm fine with not having those figures in the set, but why ask in the first place?
100%. I’m fine with figs not being a big deal in UCS sets. But why make a poll asking fans what figs we wanted if they weren’t going to put the winners in the set?
@@MoggyYT it comes down to the designer. I am sure it is a miss communication between the higher ups at lego and the designer who actually designs the set.
There’s something to be said about minifig scale. It’s more satisfying idk. Although, I’m a noob when it comes to serious lego sizing and stuff lol. He should make a round up video on “The Best Minifig Scale Sets”.

If you watch his new video I think he's pretty fair about the review. I thought that the box was a huge oversight, but not that big of a deal like MandR said in his video.
Sets with this price point really shouldn't have any stickers imo. If the set is made with a focus on the model and the figs already have to take a back seat, then atleast everything should be a print... Other than that the set is awesome.
I have the clone wars gunship from 2008 and the Falcon that released a couple years later and the stickers are “cracking” and peeling off. I placed clear packing tape over them to preserve them and trim the edges of the tape. It’s worked well but I wish we had printing. I’m absolutely sick of stickers.

It's how the doors work in Attack of the Clones, but it really bothers me too and that's why I really like the 2008 version that's based upon The Clone Wars TV show where the doors fully close
@@ten_vojta4356 problem with that version is that the doors interfere with the bubble turrets it’s annoying they can’t come up with a solid canon design
If you want to get technical, here's why: The Republic manufactured 2 kinds of gunships; The LAAT (Low Altitude Assault Transport) Gunship, the UCS set here, and the Republic Attack Gunship, from the Clone Wars show (the 2008 lego set). The LAAT was meant for planet-side transportation, so it included more weapons like the ball turrets, but it could not go into space since the doors didn't close fully. The attack gunship was made to transport troops either through air, or in space.

I think that this set is simply beautiful but, as UCS, I prefer star destroyers or big spaceships. For the republic gunship I think that it's better a normal size for minifigure such as the 75021
Normally I'd agree, but the gunship seems to be such a fan favourite set that making a UCS one makes sense to me. From what I've seen, gunship sets get the fans more excited than any other repeats.

Makes me wish LEGO still made those slightly larger technic figures from the 80's/90's. The gunship needs some troopers in the back and I think they would've been perfect size.
I've heard a lot of comments that legocon was bad because Lego misunderstood their audience. I think that you're actually misunderstanding LEGO's target audience for that type of event, and that would explain why they didn't reveal this at that event. Lego is a toy company. They make some insanely big sets for adults, but you're kidding yourself if you think that the majority of their brand is dedicated to adults. Legocon was just an exhibition aimed at kids. You weren't the target audience. So for them to reveal a massive UCS set at an event aimed for kids makes no sense, when they could instead reveal the newest playsets.
I’m blown away. This is so much better than I expected it to look. The angles and proportions are so good! Minifigs are EXTREMELY lacklustre. I understand they don’t want them to be too exclusive but only getting 2?? I think it should’ve had 2 regular p1 clones as well that would be enough for me. Don’t know if I can actually afford this but I LOVE it.
Wish it came with a AT RT in the back, don’t know why, probably won’t be able to purchase it. I really wish the vote went my way, we needed another play set version. I missed out when I was 9 couldn’t buy the republic gunship because it retired and I’ve wanted one ever since, at this point just to put on a shelf. To say I have one lol.

@@georgejoshington999 what they could have done was just have a new obi wan and anakin with new prints and a new mold for anakins cut off arm, for after the duel. That would be cool, desirable, but people probably wouldn’t buy the set just for them

@@jackm.7094 I actually bought the rebrickable minifig scale instructions. Still considering building it but it was ~$400 for the pieces. Honestly just want a minifig scale official UCS one. It would be big enough, and still fall around the $300 range

I work at a lego store, not only is this coming out but over 100 sets and many of them r just as desired as this. It’s gonna be a fun day at work lmao.
Lego must understand that there is a high demand for accurate and sizable clone wars sets ! Now they need to focus more on the mini figures selection for sets because in 2010 we were getting 7 mini figures for 80$ sets so I hope that Lego see that there is demand !
I love it. It looks so accurate and amazing. The turrets and colors are all amazing, the whole thing is spot on to attack of the clones. But I’m disappointed. The Republic gunship is a troop transport. Lego could have easily made this set minifig scale (considering this set is *larger* than minifig scale). This set could’ve been maybe ~100-150 dollars cheaper while still being accurate and well detailed (the playset ones look very good at their smaller scale), as well as actually being able to serve its purpose as a troop transport in people’s displays. Placing *clone troopers* in the *clone transport* should not look out of place and awkward for something that is almost 400 dollars.
I think that could be commander Ponds because, from what I can remember, he's the only phase 1 clone commander shown in detail on screen. It could have been done with just a slight alteration of printing so that's a shame
I really hoped they did the clone wars version which has additional 2 doors for the 2 sides to close all the way, and some light attachments seen in the umbara arc
I would not have been asking for different mini-figure, but for more mini-figure Having all the pilots, gunners and a smal troop inside the ship would just complete the look in my opinion
just the back part... wish they would've included doors that could be swapped with the pods, assuming that would be possible. Hopefully the next playset has full doors
@@slashinswingin4369 Good idea. I've just been reading up on the LAAT and can't find anything about those front doors and why they're only there on several occacions. They could use giant lights as well instead of the turrets as seen in the Umbara campaign.
@@dpswets I think the easiest explanation is the republic kept the LAAT platform but modified it very early in the war to be more modular so they could equip and remove equipment more easily to fit whatever mission so they didn’t have to make more specialized versions than they already had.
@@dpswets the front doors that you see in the Clone Wars series is for when they launch the gunships from space. Those LAAT's are modified for space flight and the double doors allow for a pressure tight seal in the cargo bay
I think they made the right decision though, its a UCS, its not really designed for play, and the "minifig" scale gunships we got in the past are already a bit oversized
@@ForgedinLego yeah but I think that's what made the melenum falcon so unbelievably iconic. It was exactly to scale with every missed detail and all perfect, I think that's the appeal to me of UCS. No corners cut, not just big.
I dont like the fact that the cargo doors open in back and not in front to cover the cargo bay. Also the lack of figurines to link it to the attack of the clones is a big minus point.
the only thing I would have wanted more would be to make it be able to change between episode 2 and clone wars variants with things like the ball turrets being detachable and an addon to the door so it can fully close, (just because I think the clone wars variant looks better, and I think most people like the clone wars more than episode 2)
Honestly if we get a P2 Cody in a battle pack or something next year I think it will be a lot better than having it bound to a 350$ set or going single for 100$ because of the exclusiveness. The message that we need a Cody should have sticked and I think we might get him soon.
@@hawkskirata8939 What I'm saying is thats we might get a 8$ P2 Cody in half a year. And that would be better than a 100$ Cody now because then we wouldn't get another one anytime soon.
@@christopherstein2024 We should have had one since 2013 when TCW was aired. They had the best opportunity few months ago when they released another version of Grievous starfighter. I think we won't have one for a while.
@@hawkskirata8939 You mean 2005 when he was introduced in Star Wars clone wars and Revenge of the Sith came out. We never got the original design in 16 years. I have hopes now because Grievous starfighter came out before the surveys with the USC set and all the communication between the designers and community icons like solidbricks and more. The designers mentioned that they don't want to put very desirable minifigures into USC sets because it makes them too exclusive. So maybe they really recognized the feed back but are waiting for a better set to publish. Any way who really knows. It's LEGO.
I wouldn't consider it too big of flaw hence in the bad batch we do see the transition from rebupic to empire and they are still using the Republic gunship
Yea, although many people don’t agree with me here and hate him, I like mandr for his reviews because he at least gives all the bad things and isn’t some person that just gives the good things and sucks up to Lego.
Both David and Ryan are good reviewers but the problem is that people watch reviews to decide if they want to purchase a set or not. If you’re being biased because Lego sent you the set early then that’s not helping anybody. It’s why I like Jangs reviews because he is straight to the point and a good reviewer
@@The_Annihilater Couldn't agree more. Jang's comments are always so well thought out and he shows he has background knowledge for the subject matter as well. David and Ryan have their merits as well, but Jang is my favorite.

Somewhat disappointed with the design .. its not bad but still .. i feel like non lego designers will modify it to make it perfect… + no clone wars version is almost a deal breaker for me ..
Hey! Just wanted to point out that that isn’t “the Imperial logo”. The six spoke version of the Galactic Roundel was a variant that appeared only on Anakin’s Jedi Starfighter in canon. Although the wrong logo for this box, it’s still a symbol of the Galactic Republic, so it’s not as bad as everyone makes it sound
From what I remember... some sets actually have that type of logo that you pointed out on the box art, think it's more with one of the star fighters that had the Imperial logo, just quickly checked and yeah it exists on Republic star fighters

Ah I think I remember those! Had one pirate themed one of them, as a kid I confused them for playmobile but they were too small for that
I think that the legoland miniland figures would also fit quite well
Yea new versions of them as clones would be awesome
This should’ve been revealed at legocon
ok
Probably a reason why they didnt
I've heard a lot of comments that legocon was bad because Lego misunderstood their audience. I think that you're actually misunderstanding LEGO's target audience for that type of event, and that would explain why they didn't reveal this at that event.
Lego is a toy company. They make some insanely big sets for adults, but you're kidding yourself if you think that the majority of their brand is dedicated to adults. Legocon was just an exhibition aimed at kids. You weren't the target audience. So for them to reveal a massive UCS set at an event aimed for kids makes no sense, when they could instead reveal the newest playsets.
yeah uh, can we move on
Nooooooo I was hoping they'd give us fully closing doors on this :(
Well its based off of attack of the clones, so the fully closing doors wouldn't make sense, but that would be cool
The fully closed doors weren’t used in the first battle of geonosis unless you count 38 and Delta squads gunships.

Solid brix studios: and here’s the review
I’m blown away. This is so much better than I expected it to look. The angles and proportions are so good! Minifigs are EXTREMELY lacklustre. I understand they don’t want them to be too exclusive but only getting 2?? I think it should’ve had 2 regular p1 clones as well that would be enough for me.
Don’t know if I can actually afford this but I LOVE it.
You should've lightly dropped the box on the table and said "Boom. You looking for this?"
*stares in awkward silence*
I actually like how they gave us a better version of the clone commander, but why, we needed like 6 pilots
2 pilots and 2 gunners
2 pilots 4 gunners... there’s those gun pods on the wings
@@gabrielsuarez4424 pilots and gunners have the same desighn
@@gabrielsuarez4424 But they don't use gunners in the wings, only in the play sets

Wish it came with a AT RT in the back, don’t know why, probably won’t be able to purchase it. I really wish the vote went my way, we needed another play set version. I missed out when I was 9 couldn’t buy the republic gunship because it retired and I’ve wanted one ever since, at this point just to put on a shelf. To say I have one lol.

I'm glad I've got the 2 previous gunships. My wallet is also glad this isn't minifig scale.

I like the logo mistake, too. It makes the set more exciting, people will talk about for years.
I don't get it. It's the same logo on the gunships in AOTC.
PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL OF HOW TO MAKE THE FOORS COMPLETE!
I never cared much for ucs sets, but I just might get this one.
Thank God that it's a PREQUEL set for UCS this time around - can save my money :)
Well, I know what I’m getting for Christmas this year
A pat on the back?
Probably yeah
I really hope they have a way to keep scalpers from running this launch. Specifically the lego stores, they should have the 1 per customer rule.
Im pretty sure that was the logo of the republic during the clone wars. Some of the clones literally have it painted on their helmet. You can see it in the animated series
The republic and imperial logos are very similar, so it's easy to get them confused but that is the imperial logo on the box
I want a UCS UWing on this scale. That’s the dream set.
I can’t remember who made the MOC but there are instructions online for a minifigure scale U wing and I agree, that would be such an amazing set
@@jackm.7094 I actually bought the rebrickable minifig scale instructions. Still considering building it but it was ~$400 for the pieces. Honestly just want a minifig scale official UCS one. It would be big enough, and still fall around the $300 range

Lego must understand that there is a high demand for accurate and sizable clone wars sets ! Now they need to focus more on the mini figures selection for sets because in 2010 we were getting 7 mini figures for 80$ sets so I hope that Lego see that there is demand !
They asked us what we wanted, then ignored us.

@@Berd413 whooosh moment did the intentional misspelling not tip you off
I love it. It looks so accurate and amazing. The turrets and colors are all amazing, the whole thing is spot on to attack of the clones. But I’m disappointed.
The Republic gunship is a troop transport. Lego could have easily made this set minifig scale (considering this set is *larger* than minifig scale). This set could’ve been maybe ~100-150 dollars cheaper while still being accurate and well detailed (the playset ones look very good at their smaller scale), as well as actually being able to serve its purpose as a troop transport in people’s displays. Placing *clone troopers* in the *clone transport* should not look out of place and awkward for something that is almost 400 dollars.
I think that could be commander Ponds because, from what I can remember, he's the only phase 1 clone commander shown in detail on screen. It could have been done with just a slight alteration of printing so that's a shame
The republic logo makes it look smaller cuz we have always scene them in a 2x2
I really hoped they did the clone wars version which has additional 2 doors for the 2 sides to close all the way, and some light attachments seen in the umbara arc
This might be the one of the best UCS sets ever
I would not have been asking for different mini-figure, but for more mini-figure
Having all the pilots, gunners and a smal troop inside the ship would just complete the look in my opinion
Ngl the doors like pretty weird having those horizontal plates on top
It looks amazing, but I'm wondering, does the whole door close? or only the back part?
just the back part... wish they would've included doors that could be swapped with the pods, assuming that would be possible. Hopefully the next playset has full doors
@@slashinswingin4369 Good idea. I've just been reading up on the LAAT and can't find anything about those front doors and why they're only there on several occacions. They could use giant lights as well instead of the turrets as seen in the Umbara campaign.
@@dpswets I think the easiest explanation is the republic kept the LAAT platform but modified it very early in the war to be more modular so they could equip and remove equipment more easily to fit whatever mission so they didn’t have to make more specialized versions than they already had.
@@NCC1371 Good point, that's what I think as well. Seems the most logical.
@@dpswets the front doors that you see in the Clone Wars series is for when they launch the gunships from space. Those LAAT's are modified for space flight and the double doors allow for a pressure tight seal in the cargo bay
11:31 my anxiety was off the charts
Ran 3 flights of stairs and across the mall to be first in line for this beast
Looks amazing but man if they where even a little closer to minifig scale it would have made this set for me, quite disappointing to be honest
I think they made the right decision though, its a UCS, its not really designed for play, and the "minifig" scale gunships we got in the past are already a bit oversized
@@ForgedinLego yeah but I think that's what made the melenum falcon so unbelievably iconic. It was exactly to scale with every missed detail and all perfect, I think that's the appeal to me of UCS. No corners cut, not just big.
Now that is one massive beauty!
I dont like the fact that the cargo doors open in back and not in front to cover the cargo bay.
Also the lack of figurines to link it to the attack of the clones is a big minus point.
the only thing I would have wanted more would be to make it be able to change between episode 2 and clone wars variants with things like the ball turrets being detachable and an addon to the door so it can fully close, (just because I think the clone wars variant looks better, and I think most people like the clone wars more than episode 2)
I'm guessing Lego is going to have a 1 limit purchase on launch date. Did to the printing error.
Honestly if we get a P2 Cody in a battle pack or something next year I think it will be a lot better than having it bound to a 350$ set or going single for 100$ because of the exclusiveness. The message that we need a Cody should have sticked and I think we might get him soon.
What's worse: a $100 P2 Cody or no Cody?
@@hawkskirata8939 What I'm saying is thats we might get a 8$ P2 Cody in half a year. And that would be better than a 100$ Cody now because then we wouldn't get another one anytime soon.
@@christopherstein2024 We should have had one since 2013 when TCW was aired. They had the best opportunity few months ago when they released another version of Grievous starfighter. I think we won't have one for a while.
@@hawkskirata8939 You mean 2005 when he was introduced in Star Wars clone wars and Revenge of the Sith came out. We never got the original design in 16 years.
I have hopes now because Grievous starfighter came out before the surveys with the USC set and all the communication between the designers and community icons like solidbricks and more.
The designers mentioned that they don't want to put very desirable minifigures into USC sets because it makes them too exclusive. So maybe they really recognized the feed back but are waiting for a better set to publish. Any way who really knows. It's LEGO.
Kinda wished we got clone pilots phase 1 with this set as well
I wouldn't consider it too big of flaw hence in the bad batch we do see the transition from rebupic to empire and they are still using the Republic gunship

Both David and Ryan are good reviewers but the problem is that people watch reviews to decide if they want to purchase a set or not.

Hey! Just wanted to point out that that isn’t “the Imperial logo”. The six spoke version of the Galactic Roundel was a variant that appeared only on Anakin’s Jedi Starfighter in canon. Although the wrong logo for this box, it’s still a symbol of the Galactic Republic, so it’s not as bad as everyone makes it sound

From what I remember... some sets actually have that type of logo that you pointed out on the box art, think it's more with one of the star fighters that had the Imperial logo, just quickly checked and yeah it exists on Republic star fighters
