salty tbone Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Great find, Benk! What's with the sticker on the front? It looks like a monkey chicken thing about to drop a bomb. *wacko* :-P ~Peace It looks to me like Salacious Crumb with a bomb. *sweet* I'll buy the set just for that sticker. (Ok, maybe not, but I still like it)
Looking for a display name Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) taken back :P It looks to me like Salacious Crumb with a bomb. *sweet* I'll buy the set just for that sticker. (Ok, maybe not, but I still like it) yeah it is a crumb they should bring out ep 2 clone bp's and arc bp's to make up battles i will get one but ill probably mod it a bit tho depending on what the final pic is -:{snip lol }:- Edited January 2, 2008 by Looking for a display name
LegoFranks Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I dont know if this has been posted yet ( couldnt find it ) enjoy *Dies!* Awesome! I can finally own a Gunship without kow-towing to the gods of Ebay! *wub* M.
sam89 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Looking for a display name, I think you're going to be the only person complaining about the inclusion of Asajj Ventress and Plo Koon! :-D Looks excellent! A good improvement on the original model.
Eothein Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Okay that is one awesome set by the looks of things. Not only are Lego bringing out a new Republic Gunship but they are also putting in some new Jedi in the set, now that's what I call fan service. What exactly is the big black structure inside the Gunship, it looks slightly like a speeder bike but I'm not too sure, ay ideas? Edited January 2, 2008 by Eothein

Benk Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 wooohooo :-) I finally bring something new here - and I have been searching for quite some time. as for this set, I love it *wub* *wub* *wub* I never got the first one :'-( I am so pleased that they chose to redo it :'-) and this gunship does look awesome - alot better than the old one. slightly confused about the Salacious Crumb decal but oh well. the figs look promising too!! aahhhh *wub* -Benk
Order66 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) YEsssssssss Freakin awesome:-) Republic gunship WOOO looks much better than the first. and is that a monkey on the side of it? :-P Woot for 2 new jedi's :):):) EDIT: NOoooo Look at the sides!!! it doesnt have the ball thingy that shoots lazers and where u can put a cloney in :'( Edited January 2, 2008 by Order66
sam89 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 The thing on the side looks like Salacious Crumb. No idea what he's doing there though :-D
Looking for a display name Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 when are thease clone wars sets out? this year in September right? *sweet*
Username_Taken Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 While I like that they included Ventress and Plo Koon, and I know full well that these are only preliminary, I will be a bit, nay, very dissapointed if the final set includes only two clone troopers. That would fill the pilots seats. That's all. Overall, I like the design of the ship, but I would have much rather seen the shark-faced ARC gunship from the clone wars cartoon. Lastly, I'm not really a fan of that sticker, it seems kind of out of place. U_T
Oky Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 *sing* SWEEEEEEEEET! Thanks, Benk, this is AWESOME! Finally a pic of the RGS! Somebody should put this on the frontpage! This is a huge improvement from the last RGS *y* , although the construction for the flick missiles bothers me |-/ ! What's with the sticker on the front? It looks like a monkey chicken thing about to drop a bomb. *wacko* :-P ~Peace Yeah, I think, it's a Kowakian monkey-lizard like Salacious B. Crumb, too. Weird 8-| ... What may be on the other side of the Ship?? I hope TLC will include alternative stickers with no drawings on them, but considering the selection of jedi & sith, this seems to be a specific RGS from some particular episode from The Clone Wars, so I don't think they will do that...

sam89 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 when are thease clone wars sets out? this year in September right? *sweet* Summer, but probably late-May/early-June.
Scouty Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I dont know if this has been posted yet ( couldnt find it ) enjoy Awesome, I love it *wub* ! Thank you :-) ! It does look better than the original.
Vader Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 You know i'm kinda split on how to feel about this new RGS, now if you don't already have one then i can fully understand people being sooo excited. Hell it's one of the best designed lego sets ever IMO, It's also the first big set that i bought more than one of. However if you have one already then i think your gonna be a bit disapointed, you see to me this (Much like the AT-TE) lacks the usual improved redesign seen in other sets. Sure it's better but not that much, Oh and just what the hell is with that new sticker of jabbas pet?? I would of hoped for something alot better, of course this might have some link to the new cartoon so it might turn out ok. Oh and as for the figs then i more than welcome Plo Koon and Assjai Ventress *wub* I can't wait to see just how those two are gonna look. Great find Benk *y*
sam89 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I can say after comparing this with the old model that this is definitely a lot better. The whole thing looks much sleeker and more accurate.
Zarkan Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Hm, I really can't tell any major differences between the old one and this new one much besides the strange markings and a bit more dark red. However, I'm kinda upset about the figures: sure, we get two new awesome jedi, and if they are like Kit-Fisto, even better, but only TWO clone troopers? That seems a little low for a gunship... :-/ Ah well, doesn't matter for me, since this is WAY out of my price range. :-P
Plural Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 This is sweet a gunship with Asajj and Plo Koon. *wub* I not a big fan of having Salacious Crumb on the side but perhaps int the new series he establishes himself as a clone wars hero. X-D I'm also hoping that the flick fire missiles on the top collapse in somehow as the seem to protrude a bit to noticebly for my liking. I'm a bit gutted the big sphere turret things that should be on the sides are missing. A final point of interest is that it looks to be a bit thinner than the other version, I don't know if thats a go9od thing or not but interesting nontheless. :-) Phew, I'm out of breath :-)

I am also a bit disappointed about the sphere turrents not being there but hey look at the bright side they might be inside the ship!!! :-D
Joey Lock Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) i agree. i read a while back it will apparently include 8 clone troopers so probably 4 will be arcs i prey Its here!! 2 Clones :-( Plo Koon!!!!! :'-) I am buying this! A bit plain though... Well I guess it is Preliminary Edited January 3, 2008 by Joey Lock
Corvus Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 If anything, this new RGS is worse than the first one. |-/ First, it's too long for it's size. The wings are too short. Also, the troop bay doors are waaay too far back, and the turrets are too far forward. It looks like TLC got lazy with this one. Both the AT-TE and the RGS are pretty much the same as they first were, but the RGS looks like they decided to make parts of it bigger, but the rest stayed the same size. Take a look at those wings- almost exactly the same size as the original, but the nose of it is stretched way out there. Where are the side turrets? The thing on the side looks more like a door than a turret. What is the monkey-lizard doing there? It looks like it's holding a bomb, like the old WW II bombers had... But not with a monkey-lizard, though. :-D Why did TLC decide to include Obi-Wan? Two Jedi, one Dark Jedi, and Two clone troopers. :-/ We don't need Obi-wan in there. |-/ Overall, not happy with this new RGS. It's a slightly MODed edition of the first, in a new box. It's a prototype, so I can still hope. *sad* Will
Oky Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Well it does look thinner but its on an angel so thats what might give it the ellusion of making it look thiner then the original. It's on an angel? I know that this thing is good, but heavenly good??? Idk... X-D Hehe! Just kiddin!
