Bricks Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Greetings Guys! Today I bought the very new set ''8039-Venator Class-Cruiser''. I didn't finished building it, yet. So this is gonna be my WIP-Review. ~Enjoy it~ Data: Name: Venator-Class: Republic Attack Cruiser Number: 8039 Pieces: 1170 Price: 139,99€ Introducing: When I saw the set I thought the box is too small for that price. But it's similar as the one from the MTT (7662) or the Gunship (7676). First I opened the box and 15 polybags fallen in my hands. Till now I started to build. The Building: After 2 minuts I collected all the parts for the minifigures and started to build them up. They are really nice and we have 2 new figures there: -Palpatine: He have the tan ''edition'' of Dookus-hairs and a cape, which is made of two dark-red pauldrons. -Senate Guards: They are as similar as a Clone Trooper but they are blue and they have a new helmet, which looks like one from the roman time. ... ~MORE COOMING SOON~ Preview-Picture: Regards 'Bricks' Edited May 22, 2009 by Bricks Quote
Bricks Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks! Palpy's hair is white? It looks tan. Sorry my mistake. Yes of course it is tan Quote
baby Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Oh boy! I'm loking forward for the review of this set. Quote
skinkfem Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 what does the emblem of the side stand for? i´ve seen it of the at-ap and the arc fighter but have been unable to find it on wookiepedia. also looking forward to the review. Quote
thinkdoodle Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Looking forward to your review. This is one of the sets that I want to get, since I missed the earlier sets with Palpatine. Quote
ADHO15 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 what does the emblem of the side stand for? i´ve seen it of the at-ap and the arc fighter but have been unable to find it on wookiepedia.also looking forward to the review. That is the Open Circle Fleet symbol. It signifies that this Venator belongs to the Open Circle Fleet. Can't wait for the rest of your review, Bricks! Quote
ILikePi Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) I can't wait for this to be finished! It'll help me decide if I want it or not. Edited May 22, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
warpug Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 How and where did you find this set? Are you in Europe? I thought it didn't come out until the summer. Very exciting, can't wait to read the review! Quote
Millacol88 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Can't wait for you to finish this. I don't plan on getting this set, but it'll be interesting to see your views on it. Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 That is the Open Circle Fleet symbol. It signifies that this Venator belongs to the Open Circle Fleet. Can't wait for the rest of your review, Bricks! The Open Circle Fleet insignia means that it belongs to that particular fleet. The two open half-circles represent Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The symbol shows that they are different entities but in battle they are one. The symbols were only painted to the Skywalker/Kenobi Fleet, but the symbol spread throughout the rest of the Republic Navy when they 'traded' weapons systems, ground and space vehicles. What is the price of the Venator compared to the Republic Attack Gunship 2008. Good start of a review! Quote
YG-49 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 since I missed the earlier sets with Palpatine. There are earlier sets with Palpatine?Goodbye... *The misunderstood one* Hail Trashcat!!! Quote
Fishy Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) There are earlier sets with Palpatine?Goodbye... *The misunderstood one* Hail Trashcat!!! Yeah, theres a couple of them actually. Final Duel I Imperial Shuttle Sith Minifig Pack Ontopic: I hope this set turns out to be as good as I hope it is! I'm probably going to buy it either way, but.. Edited May 23, 2009 by Fishy Quote

I'm probably going to buy it either way, but.. I think they all meant Palpatine the senator! There are no previous minifigures of him. Quote
Artizan Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 still we will get no Senator Palpatine though, this set comes with a Chancellor Palpatine Quote
YG-49 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Correction, this set comes with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine Quote
Derek Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 still we will get no Senator Palpatine though, this set comes with a Chancellor Palpatine Correction, this set comes with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine I look forward to reading the rest of the review and seeing pictures! Nice job so far! Quote

Xenck Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Hey great review and all . But do the senate commandos have clone heads, black heads, or what??? YOU'RE AWESOME BRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP REVIEWING!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers, Xenck Quote
ILikePi Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Hey great review and all . But do the senate commandos have clone heads, black heads, or what??? YOU'RE AWESOME BRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP REVIEWING!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers, Xenck They have clone heads. And he didn't even write a review. Quote
Future74 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Bricks?! I'm very interested in this set, but IlikePi is right you're keeping us in the dark here... In my opinion reviews shouldnt be WIP. Gives me a feeling that someone just wants to be the first to post it. If it's a massive build I would understand why it's posted in parts, like for instance the Battle of Endor set. Quote
Bricks Posted May 27, 2009 Author Posted May 27, 2009 Hey guys! Sorry that you have to wait so long for my review. I've finished building it yesterday. And you will get the final pictures and the complete review tomorrow. ~And yes the 'Senate Guards' have Clone Trooper heads ;) Regards 'Bricks' Quote
UserNameInvalid Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Hey guys!Sorry that you have to wait so long for my review. Regards 'Bricks' I don't like teasers. Hate cliffhangers. C'mon, show us the real thing! Quote
