June 12, 201312 yr CapnRex101 just posted this review on Brickset for the upcoming Corporate Alliance Tank Droid.Name: Corporate Alliance Tank Droid Number: 75015 Pieces: 271 Minifigures: 3Retail: US - $19.99, CAN - $24.99, AUS - $39.99, UK -
June 12, 201312 yr This is an amazing set and I will most likely be buying multiples, especially when it goes on sale.
June 12, 201312 yr Question to the Clone Wars watchers. Is that tank in minifig scale? I never really paid attention but I thought the tanks look bigger in the series.
June 12, 201312 yr I'm in for one. I have a feeling like this set is going to go the same route as the Desert Skiff. Both sets are very nice though.
June 13, 201312 yr Question to the Clone Wars watchers. Is that tank in minifig scale? I never really paid attention but I thought the tanks look bigger in the series.The Lego version is slightly too small in comparison to the minifigures, but it is pretty close IMO. I've added some pictures of it from Ep. 3 Revenge of the Sith so you compare them with the Lego version.
June 13, 201312 yr Set looks pretty weak to me. Other than the Jango fett fig the set doesn't interest me. Jango's guns look horrible too. Is the Tank any better than the original?
June 14, 201312 yr Author Coming up with another review is again CapnRex101 for the Duel on Geonosis set. Name: Duel on Geonosis Number: 75017 Pieces: 391 Minifigures: 3Retail: US - $39.99, CAN - $49.99, AUS - $69.99, UK -
June 15, 201312 yr Definitely be getting Geonosis (though Yoda in this set seems to remind me of Fozzie Bear for some reason) I do like the Tank Droid though not sure if I will be grabbing any. All depends on discounts I can find.

June 15, 201312 yr This set should include Anakin and Obi-Wan, instead of a Geonosian and a robot. You get Anakin and Obi in the gunship, which is chasing Dooku to the duel area
June 15, 201312 yr You get Anakin and Obi in the gunship, which is chasing Dooku to the duel area Suckers, they get me every time...
June 17, 201312 yr Author Yet another review by CapnRex101 on Brickset for a very large 2nd Wave Star Wars set.Name: Republic Gunship Number: 75021 Pieces: 1,175 Minifigures: 7Retail: US - $119.99, CAN - $149.99, AUS - $179.99, UK -
June 17, 201312 yr I really wasn't going to get the RGS, since I have 3 or 4 of the CW ones..... but maybe just one. Not a fan of the Anaking fig, but love the rest
June 17, 201312 yr Author Not a fan of the Anaking fig, but love the rest I agree, the Anakin minifigure is a little off with that hair. Padme and Obi-Wan are right on the money though and I like those battledroids.
June 17, 201312 yr Ref: The Tank Droid, will there be much interest in this investment wise? There isn't for me personally. I had the earlier one, 7748, as I got it used cheap, and wasn't that impressed and sold it on. CAGR is barely above zero either. Not one I'm going to look at.
June 19, 201312 yr The more I look at the Republic Gunship the more I want it. I will probably end up getting one. An improved structure and a redesigned interior really makes this set better than the previous two. The minifigures are like a cherry on top in my opinion.
June 21, 201312 yr So, who's going to be able to wait until 2014 to buy any new Summer 2013 Star Wars sets? I like telling myself I will wait and concentrate on EOL and clearance sets until next year. Will I be able to do it, I doubt it? I have trouble resisting a good sale on big sets, no matter how new they are. I like the Republic Gunship, Jabba's Sail Barge, and Ewok Village very much.
June 22, 201312 yr I must say I prefer the earlier version (2nd) of this tank droid as it the main centre disc is pre-printed and has fantastic detail to this new one that is just blank. Not to say I won't getting some as I have already pre ordered the entire new range of star wars sets from a local dealer. I am in Australia and got 25% off RRP before our dollar tanked, so happy
June 22, 201312 yr I agree, the Anakin minifigure is a little off with that hair. Padme and Obi-Wan are right on the money though and I like those battledroids. Yeah they even made her look pregnant

I am going to, but that is easy for me because I am not really a builder.
