It does look great in white, but I might be one of the few weird human beings who prefer the ship in red, since we don't get this kind of deviation often. Usually it's just the same thing but upgraded(or downsized) each time

[@ECHO_212th]

Finally, i thought i was the only weird human who liked the red gunship, the white one looks great with all the modifications, but i prefer the simplicity of the original one 😅

[@shatter_point]

I agree full heartedly. The variation in style is a breath of fresh air with all the repeats we get.

[@anthonypotamitis7049]

I personally don't dislike the colour, I dislike the size and the door part of the set to be honest. I never owned the previous one and it looked so good.

[@Fanninjd_23]

Considering the second hand market of gunship prices, $215 for a white gunship is actually the cheapest version of the gunship you could get right now! And I prefer the smaller gunship size, the old ones were always a bit large in my opinion, especially how high the ceiling was for the minfigs

Do you still intend to add the XML?

Thanks for the video! I have to ask though, are you still planning on linking the XML file for the Bricklink parts list? I’ve bought a set solely to do this colour swap and it’d be nice to know if the parts list is still coming or if I should go ahead and try to replicate it myself. I know a few of us in the comments would appreciate an update.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get his file to properly add to bricklink. There is one item that does not exist in the BrickLink catalog. It is item 3068B.

[@Darthmonk864]

Maybe its just because ive been buying lego star wars since i was a child when the phantom menace came out. But im happy when they change things up. Im personally not an army builder anymore. I have a lot of financial responsibilities as an adult now and lego has released a minifig scale gunship three times now prior to this. I got 2/3. I personally dont need a third slightly differently sized gunship. But what ive never had is a unique variant gunship. Which people used to beg for back when clone wars was the primary focus of lego SW. Theres kind of a conundrum with lego. Theres always new people starting collections and Its gotten much more popular in the last five years to buy and collect lego. So either lego will stay in a perpetual cycle of constantly remaking the same ships so new people can obtain one at a lower cost. Or my hope was that they would start doing this and making variants. And the beauty of lego is that its interchangeable. It is a building toy and i applaud SolidBrix for displaying creative solutions for people who would want that standard white gunship.

[@CherryJoe5]

So nobody realized the coruscant guard gunship was in the clone wars episode when commander thorn had his last stand not all gunships were the same color

I appreciate LEGO for going a different route in terms of variant with the Gunship, but I think they should have came back with the standard colored Gunship for those who missed out on it back in 2013 and then come out with this new variant. I also wish the ship was a bit bigger.
