I still think that it was a poor choice for a UCS Star Wars set, and it's not as iconic as you think it is. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. You can see my own version of a Republic Gunship side pod turret below, and if anybody is interested in the LDD (LEGO Digital Designer) file, I would be happy to send it.

However, I’d heard that the original inspiration for the LAAT/i was the use of the Huey during the Vietnam War, which has been depicted in both real and fictional film and TV, touching down to deploy troops, lifting off to evacuate troops, and flying low over the landscape to provide cover fire. Above the rear hatch is yet another gun turret, this time on a different kind of ball joint, but nevertheless with plenty of movement. These articulated laser cannons look brilliant too, combining large ball joints with 3x3 arch bricks which slot neatly around each weapon mounting. Additionally, the white streaks between the cockpit module and the light bluish grey armour are completely accurate and such subtle detailing is impressive.

It does look swooshable and since I'm not one to play with my LEGO, I wouldn't think I would do that too often, but I can't count the number of times I've swooshed the most recent X-Wing and TIE Fighter around.

It's a big beautiful Lego set, no doubt about that, there are numerous tremendous details, I love the cockpit design and the two flanking turrets are excellent. While Republic Gunship has been slightly underperforming yearly growth when compared to other sets in Star Wars, at an average annual growth rate of around 9%, this set is still a decent investment for most LEGO collector portfolios.

It depends on the demand, obviously, for this product, but definitely early Q1 2022, we should see this product available with the right logos on the packaging. They cannot be easily detached, but include authentic dark red warheads and tail fins because those weapons are usually deployed during atmospheric flight.These are placed on ball joints and are very maneuverable, but not at the expense of durability unlike the older editions of this vehicle. My UCS star destroyer needs about 1000 more storm troopers that have no place to go in my non minifig scale display piece. The Huey had a broad range of roles, including troop transport, cover fire, medevac, and cargo transport. The twin turrets are definitely unusual though, each comprising 8x8 canopies around a band of curved slopes which are connected using clips. However, while there may be pleasing moments, it must also be remembered that as this is a symmetrical vehicle there is a great deal of mirrored building, which can become a little dull at times.
