LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship Review

[@DarkBluishGray]

The stand I'm using is by brickcessories. They're a company based in California. It's not made specifically for such a large heavy set, but it works well enough.

[@theconductoresplin8092]

What a lucky find Ill find it someday

[@terrified057t4]

Now we need a Kamino set from the clone wars for the ultimate CG style clones! Coruscant Guard + 187th + Kamino Security! XD

[@Stillsearching187]

What a chanel, i love it. The combination of the music, your voice and the shots is awesome

[@DarkBluishGray]

Glad you dig it. I have a lot of fun putting videos together.

[@bgordon647]

I think this is the perfect size for a gunship. I want to do a white/red/lime green color swap version.

[@bennjo1728]

Luckily there is such a thing on Rebrickable!

[@gabesstarwarscollection]

I appreciate you adding reference footage from the film. You can also reference cross sections. It baffles me why more KZbinrs don’t, they subjectively pull a “trust me bro” and get details wrong.

[@DarkBluishGray]

I'm too much of a nerd for details to make ya'll just "Trust me".

[@gassybeagle5010]

Hang on the one door is accurate?!?!?! I had no clue and now my mind is blown and I’m more sold on this new gunship personally.

[@DarkBluishGray]

It appears so! Accurate for the live action films at least.

[@ChargingPatriotProductions]

I love the scale of it - fits well with minifigs

[@DarkBluishGray]

Totally agree.

[@thomasgolds4585]

The more I see of it the more I really think I might be getting it… but I also really want the ghost

[@DarkBluishGray]

I like the Ghost too. I'll get it eventually but probably wait for a sale.

unpopular opinion Coruscant guard was always my favorite clones just because how good they look

[@DarkBluishGray]

Not an unpopular opinion. They look sick.

[@theconductoresplin8092]

[@hoarder66]

Not unpopular. Have u seen how much the old shock troopers cost?

[@richardzaremba1383]

I'll probably end up displaying this as a jedi hunt on Curoscant so it can be filled up a bit more with 501st.

[@DarkBluishGray]

That sounds like a cool idea.

[@mikoajwandas5675]

there was also a single door gunship variant with door sliding all the way back, it was a muunilist ten gunship

[@DarkBluishGray]

Oh yeah that one is so sick!

[@omarbaba9892]

Tbh how on earth did that fox figure get passed quality control?

[@DarkBluishGray]

Your guess is as good as mine.. it comes across as lazy to me.

[@Cold_Potato4]

I actually found a use for the storage space on the gunship. So, it's a simple mod you can do by adding a few pieces, and getting some laser turret things, and you can store the turrets in the storage space. And when you want to have them out you can take them out and attach them to a technic piece.

[@DarkBluishGray]

interesting. You mean like the front beam ball turrets?

[@Cold_Potato4]

[@Captain-Crumpet]

Pretty good review man

[@DarkBluishGray]

Thanks Captain. I appreciate it.

[@ctron2388]

I own the 2013 gunship and now this one and I’d say this sets presentation is amazing however the door doesn’t open all the way leaving about 3-4 studs of space covered up and the handle though still easy to use with one finger there is enough space to fully grip it like the 2013 version

[@DarkBluishGray]

I really like the 2013 version, but this one is still very cool. Cheaper too.

[@transformersfan8923]

4:10 Gunships with bubble turrets on the side can only have one door per side because of turret's obstruction. This gunship doesn't have side turrets. EDIT: I was wrong

[@DarkBluishGray]

Where are my beam ball turrets!?

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

Not true. The gunships seen during "Landing at Point Rain" had the fully sealed doors AND the side bubble turrets.

[@transformersfan8923]

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 Dang, you're right.

Hey, where’d u get the stand?

[@DarkBluishGray]

brickcessories stand.

[@klipsfilmsmelbourne]

p2 helmet sorting system for 2013 and 2022 should be a thing but it would be too complicate for lego when you mention standard trooper using 2013 helmets while 2022 helmet works for heavy, sniper class and named clones.

[@DarkBluishGray]

I'd like to think that modern manufacturing has the capability of sorting small parts very easily..

[@markie598]

Overal, I think it's a good set. However, not a great one. Especially for the hardcore fans/very invested fans of the clone wars. There are some details wrong or off looking like mentioned in the video, also we all know everyone would have preferred a 104th/wolfpack or regular LAAT. I think Commander Fox is a good addition to the set, since we have a P1 version of him and due to the leader of the Shock troopers (also fox is more famous). However, Thorn would have been more badass. For the price and what we got it feels a bit disappointing to me. There some classic LEGO mistakes in this set and printed waste caps are just not acceptable from a company like LEGO. Helmet holes look awkward but I get why they're there. I hope LEGO will move the holes a bit down to replace the pointing thingy below it, or move that up to match the position of the helmet holes. Lastly I want to add, it is perfectly fine if you like the set the way it is, this is only my opinion after all. But at least let's agree we need to fairly critique LEGO on the genuine mistakes they make when it's not needed. Enjoy the set or not it's nice to see LEGO paying more attention to clone wars and prequel era.

[@DarkBluishGray]

I definitely think us as consumers should critique the "premium" products coming from LEGO these days. There are definitely details that really should not have been neglected on such an iconic vehicle considering the price. The lack of genuine beam ball turrets is such a bummer to me. I'll have to buy the needed parts. I like the figures overall, but think Fox could have been done better.

[@leppyslego8587]

Hey man awesome review what kind of stand is that? I’d like one for my ship as well 😊

[@DarkBluishGray]

Thanks dude. It's a brickcessories stand. It might could use some extra support holding the Gunship, but it does the job well.

[@dougstone9308]

I really liked this set! My son loved it more for obvious reasons. Wonder what caused the pink hues on Fox. Maybe the red bled through somehow ? I dont know, but overall I think the figure selection was a pretty good one. Heavily thinking about grabbing another gunship.

[@DarkBluishGray]

It looks absolutely sick! The build was really fun too. Would be perfect if LEGO had included printed beam ball turret pieces and made Commander Thorn instead of Fox.

[@dougstone9308]

@@DarkBluishGray I agree with ya on both. Maybe give us Thorn for the gunship,, and give us the printed ball turrets. Then figure out a better design for Fox for a different set. I could see why it was a turn off for many Lego SW fans.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

The pinkish printing on Fox is simply because Lego printed white on a red torso. Lego has always had this problem when printing white on a darker colored part. Even the bomb squad clone trooper from 2011 had this problem on his helmet where the white print on his helmet had an orange tint to it because the plastic was orange.

[@DarkBluishGray]

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 Interesting that Grandpa Clone Customs' pad printed Commander Fox does not have this issue.. but LEGO's does.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

@DarkBluishGray That's because custom figures are printed in smaller batches and are slightly more expensive to produce, thus allowing them to have a better quality of white print. You have to take into account that Lego produces MILLIONS of these figures every day, and adding multiple coats of white print would not only increase the cost of making the figure but also the time it takes to create it. This is a problem Lego has always had and, while I agree that it doesn't look the best, it's nothing new and is likely a problem that I'd here to stay for MANY years to come.
