Take the battle to the Separatists with this heavily armed troop transporter, as seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Features opening crew bay doors, flick missiles and separate speeder bike. Includes seven mini-figures: Four clone troopers, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and two new minifigures, Plo Koon and Asajj Ventress, a Sith Lord equipped with a new double lightsaber. 1,034 pieces. Get in on the action of the Clone Wars with the Republic Attack Gunship set 7676 from the Lego Star Wars Collection. With plenty of cannons, spy droids, and flick missiles to jumpstart a major battle, this building set is primed to satisfy both serious Lego builders and Star Wars collectors. With lots of little parts and detailed instructions, this set is recommended for ages 9 to 14. Like all Lego sets, it also holds the potential to keep creative adults entertained for hours. pstyle type="text/css" .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.3em; } td.think { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; border-bottom: 1px dotted #000000; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; } td.glance { height: 100%; background: #9DC4D8; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; } img.withlink {border:1px black solid;} /styletable width="250" align="right" cellspacing="10"trtdtable cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class="callout" width="250" align="right"trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-top.png"/td/trtrtd class="think" valign=topcenterh2What We Think/h2/centerbrbFun Factor:/bimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/toys/detail-page/5stars.gif"brbrbDurability:/bimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/toys/detail-page/5stars.gif"brbrfont size="1"(what this means)/fontbrbrbThe Good:/b Detailed gunship is ready for intragalactic battlesbrbrbThe Bad:/b NothingbrbrbIn a Nutshell:/b This Star Wars inspired building set is sure to keep imaginative kids busy for days /td/trtrtd class="glance" valign=topcenterh2At a Glance/h2/centerbAges:/b 9 to 14br/td/trtrtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bottom.png"/td/tr/table/td/tr/tabletable align=left width="200" cellpadding="10"trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/toys/detail-page/B0016098LK-1-sm.jpg" border="1" class="withlink" align=topbrbrspan class="caption"This detailed ship is ready for battle.

View Larger. /span/td/tr/tablebConfront the Separatist Crisis/bbr Drawing from the wealth of Star Wars lore, the Clone Wars are part of a back-story of intragalactic unrest that set the stage for the original trilogy. They are portrayed in a new animated movie, TV series, and video game, which help fill in gaps that appear between the other movies. With this set, you can be part of the action. Take up the battle against the Separatists using the Republic Attack Gunship, a heavily armed and armored Clone Wars troop carrier that's ready to invade even the most hostile terrain.p Included Lego figures represent the well-known characters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon, Asajj Ventress, and Commander Cody. Of course, there's Clone Trooper mini-figures as well. There's a cool speeder bike that deploys from the back, and multiple decals to create different gunships for your army. Arm your favorite figure with a lightsaber in Jedi blue-green or Sith red, and let the intragalactic battles begin. There's even a healing chamber that helps your characters recharge after a tough battle. pbPreparing Your Gunship for Battle/bbr With 1,034 pieces in 18 bags and two instruction booklets, the Republic Attack Gunship took our eight-year-old tester just under eight hours to build. He broke the construction up into three shorter sessions to make it more enjoyable and had only one slight difficulty. While Lego instructions are known for being colorful and accurate, there were a handful of pieces in our booklet that appeared clear when they were in fact yellow. This didn't do anything to diminish our appreciation for this model. Our tester struggled to find anything negative to say, and he gave this ship a fun factor score of one million, based on a scale of one to 10! p Cockpits in unexpected locations on the wings, unique sliding doors, the zoomer buggy, and an emergency capsule for sick and injured characters ranked high on the list of cool features. That's not all though. There's also a front side compartment that opens so you can remove the command station, eight positionable flick-fire missiles on top, two rotating missiles in front, and a top compartment which opens to provide access to the spy droids. p When asked if there was a downside to this gunship, our tester could only reply, "It's the best ever! I just like the whole set." Soon after completing construction, he had a big battle with all the ships in his collection and commented on how this set includes updated pieces that he's never seen before. P Even though there's plenty of features on just the Republic Attack Gunship to hold a child's interest for a long time, we can imagine how much fun the set would be with a whole group of friends and siblings plus all their Star Wars ships. We also appreciate the way that Lego systems never limit imaginative play. All the cool hardware that makes up the Republic Attack Gunship can be used to build any structure or vehicle your child dreams up.pbWhat's in the Box/bbr 1,034 Lego pieces and two instruction booklets. br clear="all"

Customer Reviews for LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship

Amazing Battle Ship
Rating: 5/ 5
My son and husband worked on this for over 2 days. It was challenging at times but worth it. They are having a blast with it and have added other star wars lego ships to create some major battles.

Lego Christmas
Rating: 5/ 5
My 9 year old son had Star Wars LEGOS on top of his list this year. He spent about 4 hours building this gunship and has many more hours logged playing with the ship since.

Great toy, way overpriced on Amazon
Rating: 5/ 5
This playset is great. A lot of pieces for a set for sure (read: takes a while to build) but our 8 year old, who has had his heart set on this after watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars, ignores everything else in order to play with this set. He particularly likes to have the characters battle "the bad guys" and then fly off. Overall, great toy for him. That said, I can't understand why Amazon's price here is THE most expensive on the web--competitors have it at $118 (you can find via Google in 2 secs)--very unusual for Amazon, which typically has the best price anywhere and why we're putting the review here versus somewhere else.

Awesome Gunship
Rating: 5/ 5
My son (8 years) received this for Christmas and built it in 4 hrs. He loves it and flies it all over the house! The directions were easy to follow and the ship has not fallen apart. Another great ship to add to any collection!

The best got BETTER!
Rating: 5/ 5
Some people have been saying that this set is not very durable, and falls apart esily. I don't want to be rude, but all the reviews saying this occured when the set belonged to a fairly young child. This set is very durable, and meant for MILD play. This is definately one of LEGO's best SW sets ever!
