Lego Star Wars Review Set 7676 Republic Attack Gunship

Released in 2008 The Star Wars Lego Set 7676, Republic Attack Gunship is one of the largest sets released in that year and one of the first sets to feature the new Clone Wars minifigures. The Republic Attack Gunship was featured prominently in the movies Episodes 2 and 3, with the beginning of the Clone Wars. This set centers around events in the Star Wars Clone wars Television series, noted by the addition of the minifigure Asajj Ventress, a feature villain in the series.

The Republic Gunship comes with 1034pieces and five figures. New to this set are the newly released exclusive figures of Asajj Ventress and Jedi Master Plo Kloon. Both figures have a high level of detailing and are instantly recognisable as their cartoon counterparts. Asajj comes with a skirt and two curved red lightsabers while Plo Kloon comes with a distinctive custom head signifying his origins as a Kel Dor male from the planet Dorin.

Other figures include a regular clone, the Clone Commander Cody and the Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi. Commander Cody is also exclusive to this set and is distinguished by orange markings on his helmet and torso. The set also comes with a brown and black clone BARC speeder which can be stored and deployed from the rear of the Gunship.

The gunship has a surprising number of playable features including opening troop bay doors, removable command station and healing bacta chamber, movable cannons, spy droids, flick missiles, the speeder bike and multiple sticker decals to create different gunships much like those featured in the Dropship (set 10179). There is a significant amount of space inside the ship to play and move your clone troops from one area to another.

Overall the Republic Gunship is a fun and very attractive set, both as a swooshable vehicle and a ground based center for play. The vehicle measures 14" (36cm) long, 17" (43cm) wide and 7" (18cm) high and retails for $119, well worth the price as a set for young and seasoned fans.
