[@fritz404]

Out of all of these the 2013 is the best imo, while it would definitely be changed a few ways today it's the best and most accurate representation in playscale that LEGO has released so far

[@thatoscarguy9965]

Completely agree with what he said that if they made the newest one the same size as the previous versions and designed it with more and better features it would’ve been way better than it is maybe even the best release. Instead it’s as good as the 2002 overall at best in my opinion it’s sadly the worst one released as the ranking score also shows in the video.

I don’t understand why the helmet holes on the new troopers is such a big deal. Nearly every other variation of clone troopers/Mandalorian helmets have holes and it doesn’t seem to be a problem with them…

[@javanmills6152]

It is purely the implementation. All the other ones don't stick out. I honestly wouldn't have half the issue with them if they just removed where they are supposed to go. It is really jarring seeing where they are where they're supposed to be. IMO the ultimate middle ground is removing the real location so it is easier to overlook.

[@FAT_SUSAN]

Telling Lego that they are bad would just be a limiting imaginations and if you’re going to make an army out of hundreds, why would you care about the difference of a millimeter

[@Azact]

Because it sticks out alot when looking at them from the front, and they are lazy and use the same helmet mold as they did for the cody in 2022 at-te so now every clone has helmet holes because they dont wanna make another mold without them.

[@AClassicBrick]

I gotta stick my head out for the 2002 gunship. It has an amazing Minifigure lineup with actually enough Clone Troopers to man the ship. Also even though not in-universe accurate it has such great creative play features. I think that the inaccuracies in those can be immediatly looked over, given that the LEGO Designers probably had to work with concept arts of the models, since the movie did release in 2002. The ship can drop off its underside as a base and act as sort of a drop ship. Its great! 🙂

I find it funny how no one mentions that the old Cody had a pauldron and kama which is super inaccurate, not to mention a gray visor. There’s even some sets where Rex had a visor instead of range finder. But only NOW Lego is “lazy” so silly.

[@cobblerboi1820]

Because NOW lego is making more money, is able to make better designs, and also charging more, but did I mention also no cloths and smaller sets by the date (With a few exceptions), they have no room to be doing what they lacked in 2013 as a regular in 2023

[@Azact]

Because the clones were as good as it could be for that time period, they got no excuses nowadays with better technology, so they are lazy. Back then it was the best they could do with their technology of that time. Nowadays they have far better technology and clone printing and molds peaked in the mid 2010s yet they started devolving after that and became lazy. Your comment makes no sense and if anyones silly its you

[@Azact]

What a stupid comment, back then it wasnt obviously accurate but that was because of their limited technology of that time and they still made it as good as they could. Nowadays they charge alot more, and have bettet technology and more money, yet still messes up clone designs even though they perfected it around 2014. This is laziness and greed. So they werent lazy back then, just limited by technology, now they got no excuse with making inaccurate clones other than being LAZY

I had the 2013 gunship, I got it for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. I would come home from school and spend hours building it since I wasn't a very fast builder at the time and there was a lot of bags. One day, my dad was cleaning the house when I was gone, hit my shelf that had it on the top, it fell and turned into a crashed gunship. I've never recovered from it and to this day I get extremely paranoid with people touching my legos now. I might buy a new one for my new apartment by myself just to recuperate.

[@viperson9818]

I think 2023 is close. Hopefully the designers hear us and a classic style gunship in like 1-2 years will overall be an improvement from the 2023 coruscant gunship with their new style of approach and size. Currently the 2023 set feels incomplete. (Darn Disney for making canon that standard p2 troopers can pilot these gunships.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

It makes perfect sense that pilots can wear regular clone armor when piloting ships in atmosphere. Literally the ONLY reason clone pilots wear specialized helmets is to act as life support during space flight, which they very much do not need when flying in atmo.

[@ninopineau-chapell738]

Now I'm here again contemplating how to get the money to either: a) Get the new one and mod it, b) Buy the 2013 one which has always been my favorite, or c) Buy a moc that actually delivers. Or wait another 5-10 years until Lego releases another one, who knows. So fxcking frustrating

[@thatoscarguy9965]

I’m buying a custom one. Check out the brick vault and rich boy jhae ones they’re so much better than the junk version Lego gave us this year. Of course you can order the parts gradually too if you can’t afford them all right away. The 2013 one is very nice but custom ones are definitely comparable and much cheaper plus you get the option to go with a different version than the regular color scheme.

[@MoxJester]

At least ur being real with urself. I’ve seen so many people blindly like the coruscant gunship because they were unable to get any of the previous gunships. It’s a shame because all Lego needed to do was slightly update the 2013 model and put the coruscant guard scheme on it. Would’ve been an amazing set.

[@tomgu2285]

Okay sheep

[@controlvids6079]

Well if you actually saw the clone wars, then you would know that the clone wars version of the gunship doesn’t have that arch area, so that “cut out a piece of the gunship” is actually inaccurate. Also that isn’t just the Jyn Erso face, it’s also the Jane face from Marvel, who is played by the same person, at least the live action one. And there are helmet holes on the phase one helmets, use your eyes. True the helmet holes are above where they “should be” but clone visors never attached to those nubs, they attached further up on the helmet. The helmet holes are fine, Padme is fine.

[@Aaronian99]

Im really happy with the helmet holes on the coruscant guard, as long as they will release more of them in a smaller set without holes. That way we can use the gunship ones as specialists

[@Azact]

They wont, because they are lazy and use the same mold

[@Brave_Sir_Robin]

The figures really could have almost bailed out 2023 if they were what they should be. Hopefully, lego is watching this and taking notes

[@LynCubed]

As someone who has never owned a Lego Gunship, these are my thoughts on each of them: 2002: looks good for the time, jedi bob is awesome, and I love how the clones look, I don’t like the balls that fold out, droidekas are awesome 2008: the best looking one imo, plo koon is epic, looks roomy and that command station looks awesome, the little monkey guy one the side is cool looking 2013: 10/10 minifigs, cockpit is an improvement, i still don’t like those little balls that fold out, I miss super battle droids, flick fire missiles look silly on the top 2023: shock troopers look great (idrc about helmet holes), looks a little lazily made, palpetine looks great, padme is cool but I just wish they use the 2013 face, not a big fan of the replacements for the ball turrets on the wings, seems to be extremely sturdy.

2002 was my favorite lego set as a kid. Was the crown jewel of my childhood collection. I can't argue it being better than the 2013 set, but Lego doesn't really give us sets like this anymore, because of battle packs and stuff. 2002 will always hold a special place in my heart.

I ended up selling my 2008 RGS just because it was so big and I kept knocking off the front turrets. The current CG RGS being smaller than past versions actually has me interested in the set, but I’d prefer classic colors. Surprised you didn’t mention that the 2008 RGS had alternate nose art stickers, I would consider that a play feature, the buyer gets to choose what nose art they wanted.

So when it came to Xmas and I asked for the AT-TE I was upset to hear it was already out of production (I was young and wasn’t informed on Lego and when exactly they released new waves and stuff) (now that I’m thinking about it it might’ve been the Gunship for that years Xmas and the at-te for my birthday the next year) 10 years later I’m so glad I chose the Gunship. It’s the best looking, and best overall Gunship. In addition to Lego releasing a basically identical AT-TE to the 2013 one. And now I can finally have both. I was so happy the AT-TE had the same cockpit build as I thought that was perfect with the older one.

2013 will always be my favorite, but one thing you have to give props to lego for is releasing a clone wars era Padme and Palpatine in the most recent iteration. Before this, I'm fairly certain you hsd to either get the venator playscale or Palpatine's arrest for a Palpatine figure, and Padme only came in the Malevolence set. The two shock troopers are really decent in my opinion, helmet holes being a moot point because it's lego. My biggest issue with minifigures in the most recent one is that Fox is supposed to be Thorn in the episodes from which it's featured. Despite this, I plan on getting the 2023 gunship for it's minifigures and for the tons of red pieces and republic Insignias that can be used for tons of Mocs. It's not a set that should be bought for accuracy, however it has a ton of value for getting moc bricks and minifigures for other clone wars era builds.

[@platnumring7568]

You cant hate on the newest Padme yes it may be the same face from a 2016 minifigure but from the picture i saw its pretty accurate for the Padme in that animated series.

The newest Gunship actually scales to the minifigures better than the others. Minfigures don't scale to humans exactly, so it's hard to be exact and maybe a few other proportions were wrong, but in that area it is actually better. I agree it has many other problems, but for being smaller the new Gunship gets a bit too much shape.

2008, despite being made 12 years ago, is by far the best. Had the best play features, had the best doors, and it’s the only one I have

Call me crazy but as someone who has owned all 4 of these, the 2023 gunship is genuinely in contention with the 2013 model for best gunship for me. I just have a tonne of fun swooshing it around and the build is fantastic

[@viperson9818]

Yeah the 2023 one compact size is very nice.

[@thatoscarguy9965]

I’d own the 2008 or even 2002 versions in a heartbeat over the newest one. Very disappointed when it was revealed glad some like it though wish I could appreciate it more but I just can’t.

@@katesandoval9451 I don’t look at it that way I view it as Ryan does which is a significant step back from previous versions which doesn’t make sense. The tie fighter and x wing being down sized wasn’t as bad because there was no loss of features and proper design. This gunship suffers from both. The 2013 and 2008 had far better proportions and weapons that didn’t detract from the look significantly, much more features, and much better figures. And because the Lego group took so long to release another one it was far more important to get it right and they missed the mark in many areas.

@@thatoscarguy9965 I don’t care we are lucky we have a gunship I would have the new gunship over the 2002 and 2008 gunship just look at the 2002 gunships bubble turrets there ugly I actually mean hideous and the 2008 gunship doesn’t have a handle why don’t u shut up

While I was watching this video, I had the idea that you could put up a picture of the real gunship from the side view and then compare the Lego gunships’ sideviews to it. That way we could really see the proportions. Also you mention that the 2023 gs does not have separable doors and that is a minus for accuracy (which is correct), but you don’t say anything about the 2003 gs’s front being able to open up and its hinges can be seen from the sides, which in my opinion are much larger inaccuracies. I think you were too harsh on the 2023 model, just look at the 2003 one. It is much less appealing than the 2023 model. It is more blocky, more studs are showing, inaccurate colors and primitive minifigures (which at the time were good, but today they look plain bad). So I would have ranked the 2023 gunship no lower than 3rd place and the 2003 gunship would definately be in the 4th place.

Clones peaked in 2002

I waited for this video

I miss having alternative builds on the back of the box.

On the in universe coruscaunt gunship there actually isn’t a spot for clones to fit in on the wings

If lego were to make more Republic Gunship models in thr next few years. Would you prefer them to recolour the courascant guard gunship for consistency. Or would you rather a new, larger model with more details for another $20 (total $160)

[@bearsausage8599]

Battle of umbara model, with actual floodlights?

[@joshuam6587]

You put a ton of thought and perspective into this vid. I have 2 of the new ones but thats about it now i think. Wish i could get some of the 2013 ones at a decent price.

I rarely see em under 200 let alone 250
