LEGO75042 Star Wars Droid Gunship

So naturally it was a hit, being just what he wanted. Things he likes most: the bombs, the turrets in the front, the escape pod in front, and the flat body of the gunship (makes it harder for the enemy to hit). But if the gunship is hit and the turrets ate destroyed, he can use its mini gun.Logan draws from his vast knowledge of the Star Wars saga to add features that are purely imaginative. For example, he assured me that there’s a force field around the gunship and that it can autopilot itself — and that the bombs are highly explosive. Dropping the bombs is a big part of the fun of playing with this airship.Logan assembled the gunship himself without adult assistance.

My grandsons truly love putting these together and it makes a grandpa feel good that kids today are so interested, rather than always on the electronic toys. I worked with one of my grandsons to build a similar one of these and it is very interesting how the instructions flow and then to watch the children follow them. Just as good as tinker toys, Lincoln Logs and Fort Apache sets of years ago!

We got this for our little nephew. He Skyped when he got it, and was so excited. He built it with help from his dad and his uncle. It seems well worth the money, and it has Chewbacca.

ok

Bought for son he liked it very much. He has a lot of lego star wars items and they have always been very high quality compared to non lego brand block toys

This set brings back memories of Episode 3 in the Battle of Kashyyyk scene. So epic! I missed out on the older model so when I seen this, I knew I had to buy it. The build was simple (for me it was lol). Love the "bombing" features. Minifigs were my favorites! Commander Gree and Chewie were incredibly detailed. The droid and clone were just extras for me! Only wish it was a little bit cheaper and came with at least a gun emplacement for the clones but overall, four stars!

While there were some missing small parts (I really mean small parts, heh heh), the local Lego store totally supported us by providing whatever parts we needed. I just brought the instructions in and pointed out the parts I needed and they gave them to me free and told me to come back whenever we need to. Now we have this bad boy along with another hanging from the ceiling, ala baby mobile.. too cool for comfort.

My 8 year old grandson is big into Legos and Star Wars. I gave him the Droid Gunship for his birthday and he was thrilled. His mom gave him a little help in the beginning but after that initial start, he was on his own. This was a good purchase.

Nephew loved it arrived on time and as described
