I have been waiting over a decade for a new gunship to release! I was very excited when I heard this set was going to come out two years ago. There are some issues with it though. One of the standout features of the Republic Gunship are the bubble turrets on the sides of the wings. This set is missing them, and instead the give you ugly stud shooters as a stand in. The minifigures are also flawed. The Captain Fox minifig is not printed correctly, with the white highlights on the torso coming out as pink. The Padme figure has the same minifig head we've seen on countless female figures over the years, despite Lego creating a perfect facial expression for character in the last gunship set in 2013. Good set because I was hyped for it, but lots left on the table.

Nearly perfect
Great set, wish that that it included bubble turrets and the rocket launchers though. I’d say the only downside is the inaccurate commander fox minifig

Cool looking, but could do more!
I'm really delighted with how the set looks. Putting it together was a joy, but once it's done there's not much to do besides open the doors. There's a big empty cargo area in the front with nothing to fill it with, and the missiles on top aren't represented in this version of the model. It's unfortunately also a little unwieldy with how unbalanced it is when holding it by the carry handle. It's a cool model, but I think younger builders especially might be disappointed with how little there is to do.

Underrated, Gets a Bad Rap
I'm gonna be honest: I really like this set. Of course, there are some pretty bad and noticeable issues, like the turrets on the end of the wings, the doors being only one instead of two, and the limited space in the cargo hold, but the design and colors are great. This could be a good or bad thing (depending on how you look at it), but with just a few modifications like adding ball turrets and cleaning up a few things would make this set perfect. Overall, it's a decent set if you can find it on sale.

An odd choice, but a welcome one
Definitely a weird choice to remake the iconic republic gunship in a red and white color scheme, but a great value. Yes it's downscaled, and it doesn't have anything on the 2013 or 2008 gunships, but it's still a solid set. Also nice to get Shock troopers and an updated Chancellor Palpatine and Padme minifigures, even if Padme should have had a better headprint. My biggest complaint (becides the colour) is the Commander Fox minifigure. The torso printing is absolutely horrific and LEGO continues to let us down by including those awful printed waistcapes. The build itself is very good however, aside from the stud shooters. The closing door function is amazing, and the build is extremely solid, however the downscaling is not appreciated.

Its good but not for price
Way to much money half the price would have been perfect. As usual light on figures, Fox was poorly done the shock troopers were good but the holes in the helmet is annoying. The handle interferes with the already crowed crew space I am a harsh reviewer and this overall is a good set just not worth more then 150AUD.

The older gunships were better
This set is one of the worst sets of 2023. First of all Commander Fox does not have a waistcape, his torso print is inaccurate, and his visor is the wrong color. Second of all the shock troopers have helmet holes. Third of all the gunship does not have two sliding doors and the turrets on the wings are in accurate.
