Rule the Galaxy with Ultimate Republic Starship 

This Lego Republic Attack Cruiser inspires an imaginative play by providing an action-packed narrative setting of the film Star Wars: The Clone Wars as Jedi knights tried to bring back peace to the Galaxy.

This 20-inch long model features every detail of Republic flagship. Included in the pack is a front panel which reveals the quarters of Palpatine upon opening, a drop-bomb launcher, hidden cannon under its wings, an escape pod and more.

It also comes with five miniature figures: Chancellor Palpatine, his two elite Senate bodyguards, a clone trooper pilot and a clone trooper gunner.

Reviews

Lego Star Wars Republic Attack Cruiser received high ratings from the people who purchased and used it. It received an average rating of 4.1 stars out of 5 stars. Many reviewers wrote that the construction of this product contributes to education of children and one reviewer added that this is a great toy for boys.

A reviewer noticed that this Star Wars ship does not only rely on the tiny knobs to keep things together and yet results to a much stronger LEGO kit. Many reviewers commented on how cool the features of this product are such as the ability to drop missiles and an escape pod. Most reviewers consider this product as indestructible.

Although most reviewers admit that the LEGO pieces are indestructible themselves, one reviewer commented that the constructed vehicle often comes apart and that children above 9 years old don’t play much with it physically than younger kids do so the manufacturer’s suggested age range of 9 to 14 year-old kids to play this product must be lowered. One reviewer also complained that the bottom plates wouldn’t stay together and that there no extra supports for the bottom.

After reading all the online reviews of Lego Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser, we concluded that the pros of this product outweigh the cons and majority of the reviewers are satisfied with it.
