I am terrified but also really intrigued... please continue...

I would want another arc 170 (original) that fighter was absolutely golden.

I have a few younger siblings around the ages of 10. They love my lego collections and they get kind of sad when I rip apart anything to make/design MOCs. The ones I have kept assembled are certain jewels I find like the LAAT/c gunship and AT OT (though I really don't like the AT OT much but my sisters find them a nice play set. I kept the republic attack shuttle but modded it to have more seats at the expense of the flick fires. I've also kept the sith infiltrator (new one) simply because it looks cool. Mainly the reason I keep the models assembled is so I can play lego with my sisters. They really enjoy it since "I'm tall and I can make space battles fun". The one model I cannot see myself disassembling though is the republic frigate. I have modded it to be longer and slightly wider for play but it's a jewel I think I will never want to take apart. I recently took apart my clone turbo (the first edition). I really didn't like it much and I don't think my sisters were too interested in stuff that has wheels.

I figured they had something to do with the head. I was seriously thinking it was some sort of knife clones put on their heads.

Thanks for the review bro. I think I'll buy it

In the republic attack frigate, there are two pieces in the set that look like small-ish bullets. At first I thought they were commando knives for Wolffe but I realised no one in the GAR carries knives. What are these magic little pieces?

I'm thinking of buying the Umbaran 75013 set but I don't know if it's worth the price. It's about 500RMB (~81 USD). I might be lucky and find it at the some Lego stores here in town but usually they are much higher than the website I use. I'm still not quite sure if I really want it though. The minifigs that come with the set look awesome and the vehicle looks pretty sweet. Can anyone shed some light onto what I will be buying? Pros, cons, that kind of stuff.

Favourite Minifig of all time: Obi-Wan My least favourite is not necessarily a minifigure in particular but the Phase 2 trooper design. I find that the phase I trooper armor looked better because it had a kind of classic/grand look.

My favourite set has to be the Republic Attack Shuttle. Although the minifigs were a bit random, would have liked to see Rex and/or Ahsoka instead of Windu. It was overall by far my favourite set all around. My least favourite has to be... the original clone turbo. I just found the build and the entire model a little overrated.

these sets seems pretty mediocre. I was really hoping they'd do a remake of the venator or some other capital ship. Would've been awesome and really fitting for the opening of the new year and like EP 3, the opening scene.

I think they are the same thing. The LAAT/v can be suited towards carrying smaller vehicles such as speeders and whatnot but otherwise they function the same.

I can't exactly say I know what the difference is but I am pretty sure they are legit Lego stores. Afterall TLG is opening a new office in Shanghai soon so there's bound to be official stores popping up all over. Just a curious question. I always order my Lego online over at Amazon or Taobao (Chinese Ebay), I was wondering whether buying from an official store would be any cheaper?

I supported Torsenfreund's Harrower-class Dreadnought recently. I thought it was really well planned MOC that could show TLG a thing or two about making appropriate cruisers and capital ships. In all honesty though, even if it were to make it to 10,000 supporters I don't thinking TLG would publish it because it doesn't fit with the current vision of star wars lego. If anything, I would want TLG to notice the avaliable space on the inside while still being able to make a grand exterior.

I would of liked to see a more Y-wing kind of design on the engines. The flick fires stick out a bit and that really bugged me so I removed the launch ability keeping them there just for decoration. I thought the green transparent studs near the engines were a little strange and off colour so I switched it around with a blue stud. All in all, it's a pretty good set. I liked the minifigs and unnamed republic trooper that's probably supposed to be Jace Malcom.

I have the 9497 and I have to say it's pretty great. I've been thinking whether or not I should buy the Defender because Lego really didn't do a great job on it. The interior is seriously lacking and it just seems a bit dull.

If I were to make your Defender from scratch (ordering the parts and such. How much do you reckon it would cost? I mean, the official defender really kind of sucks when I put it against this beast. The lack of interior is just a major bummer and the minifigs are just all over the place.

I might be wrong here but I am pretty sure you put the LAAT/v engines on the wrong way... Good luck to any poor sod going to fly that..

I recently bought the 75021 Gunship. The entire set is glorious but the one thing I would want to change is the length of the doors. I would've prefered it if the doors could cover all the way instead of just half. I also added two white beams on the handle because it was a bit too thin. Nonetheless great set, and EB helped me decide between this and the Defender.

Hey guys, I stumbled upon Eurobricks by reading those great reviews on the Star Wars themed sets. Thanks for the great review on the 75021 Gunship. I am looking to getting into building (designing) MOCs and was wondering if anyone could link to me some advanced building techniques for building Star Wars starships, also what kind of software do you guys use? Or do you guys kind of just build it right then and there?. I am working on a Pelta-class Medical Frigate by using the skeletal design of the Tantive model while while extending the exterior to accomadate a flatter angle similar to the republic frigate. Given the amount of time I have I think the design should be done by next week. Anyway nice to be apart of the community!

I would really like to see a well done Venator. The one that was released 2009 was just atrocious. It very vaguely resembled even the elementary structure, it was far too stubby and the angle of the panels weren't cutting it. The interior of the cruiser was also incredibly limited. A good example of how the Venator should have been made is a similar structure to the CUUSOO Harrower Dreadnought. Other than that, I would like to see some more Naboo themed sets like the J type star skiff or the J-type barge. I find Star Wars lego has too much of the "pew pew, I haz lazor beemz" sets and should really capture some more of the civilian aspects of the setting. Scratch all that. I would kill to get my hands on a Delta Squad set. One thing that makes me sad is the lack of specialized and individuality in lego clones, sure you have rex, cody, wolffe and fox but what would make for an awesome battle pack would be Commando Packs of different squads. Just look at these guys. They would look so awesome.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple in Beijing. There's a flagship store in the CBD at China World Trade Center (国贸). There are also a smaller scale shops scattered around Beijing in random shopping arcades and centres. Other than Beijing though, I can't say I've seen them anywhere else. I know there is supposed to be another flagship store in Guangdong.
