While a Lego set containing over 1,000 pieces might make a parent recoil in fear of those pieces being scattered throughout the home, it is important that they bear in mind the following: few things get children through a rainy afternoon better than building something out of Legos. With 1,034 pieces, the Lego Star Wars Republic Attack Gunship can keep multiple children (and some adults) occupied for hours.
The Lego Star Wars Republic Attack Gunship is a troop transporter from the "Star War: The Clone Wars" television series. It has everything: troop bay doors that open, flick missiles, spy droids, poseable cannons, and a removable command station and healing room. There is a port on the back from which busy Lego builders can deploy the speeder bike. The kit also contains seven mini figures: Sith Lord Asajj Ventress, Plo Koon, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and four Clone troopers.
Star Warriors can arm their figure with a lightsaber in Sith Red or Jedi Blue, and for those injuries that result from a hard-won battle there is a healing chamber for characters in need of some rest and relaxation.
Recommended for ages 9 to 14, this elaborate building set is beloved by committed Lego builders and Star Wars collectors. For a child who happens to be both, this set is unmatched for creative play. It's full of very detailed parts and instructions, and those who want to create the Lego Star Wars Republic Attack Gunship.
Lego and Star Wars enthusiasts of all ages have raved about the Republic Attack Gunship, with Amazon giving it a "fun factor score" of 1,000,000 on a scale of 1 to 10. Let's see: with approximately 1,000 pieces in this Lego Kit, that would put the "fun factor score" for each piece at 1,000!
