Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.

The Republic Gunship is pretty true to the original (although I don't know if the rocking wings are accurate). The finished model is a good size for playing with.

The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid and believable. The set includes extra parts for making part of a Y-Wing (the rest of the parts are available with the AT-At, Millennium Falcon, and the Multi-Troop Transport).

All in all, very nicely done.

I was surprised at how small this was when we put it together (but it IS a "mini"), but that's not necessarily a bad thing (except that it is very pricey to be so small). Many of the larger Star Wars Legos sets we've bought do not hold together well, but this one does, because of its small size. Plus, since it is smaller, a kid can actually play with it, unlike the larger ones which seem to be best left on the shelf. It also came with parts to a Y-wing fighter that you can complete if you buy the other three Minis (which I think is why it is more expensive than comparable size Lego sets). If you can get this with free shipping it is worth it.

this set is amazing.i am supised how lego can make a gunship out of small pars. it was fun to build.
