Product Description

Editorial Review

Although it’s meant to be mostly a utilitarian vehicle, designed to carry and deploy massive amounts of clone troopers to carry out the nefarious wishes of the mysterious Darth Sidious, nothing in the Empire’s vast arsenal of ships is without stylish amounts of menacing design. Sure something boxy and efficient would have worked just as well, but, they must have figured, you aren’t going to scare off the straggling remains of the Jedi order with something bland and boxy. This Republic gunship has a canopy for two pilots, a rappelling line for troopers entering the battlefield, and a pair of spring-loaded missiles. No clone trooper figures are included leaving you free to build up a new army of whatever Power Rangers, WWE Superstars, and Barbies you find lying around the house. --Charlie Williams

Agreement with other reviews; the toy is great, my sons and I are having a lot of fun with the two I ordered. The price (initially) was great, but add the fact that they shipped the two of them separately (so they charged me twice the shipping) and just slapped a label on the box, and the transaction is not so great.

Glad I wasn't wanting this as a gift-giver (boxes were both smashed; luckily, the toys are fine) or a collector (though I don't believe that a toy is more valuable if never played with).

Amazon needs to come down on TRU about this; it's inexcusable.

We've seen this ship before, first in the Saga collection and then repainted with black highlights and repackaged in "Clone Wars" packaging. The ROTS Gunship is essentially the same ship, repainted yet again, this time with yellow highlights. I was disappointed that the Gunpods were not included yet again, but other than that...it's nice to have another version of this ship available (they make a nice fleet when you line them up together).

Still has all the same features of previous Gunships. Footstands for your clone troopers, opening pilot canopy, missles that fire, and of course a little line that you can attach a trooper or another figure to. It's an impressive ship and definitely one of the biggest pieces in my collection.

I'd give this more stars if they'd go back next time and add the Gunpods to put the clone troopers into on the sides of the ship like in the movies. I've seen people do great custom versions, and I don't understand why Hasbro can't follow their lead.

The Saga Clone Pilot gunpods will still hook onto this ship, but it's just not the same as the movie version. That's the only feature this ship lacks.

I found my gunship at a toysrus store by luck. It was the only one left to. If you find one then not get it you are never going to see it agian. This is the rarest ep 3 toy ever. Anyways the toy is so cool. Its huge and fun to play with. This is such a good deal for the money. The toy is well bilt id does not fall apart or anything. Cool paint job and every thing about this toy is great. Buy it if you can find it.
