Bricks 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ADHO15 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!

warpug 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Millacol88 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloneCommanderDelta7 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Xenck They have clone heads. And he didn't even write a review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Future74 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.
