Hans Burkhard Schlömer: Set 8039 is a great study of what it sometimes takes to turn something into a play set.

A clear 2in1 display stand for the UCS LEGO ® Star Wars 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser. Either that or it is a "Striking Venom's Mecha One's legs" situation and the first editions all have this mistake. Using mostly wheel pieces to create the engines was an early design decision to reduce weight and complexity.Recreate authentic features such as the striking red stripes, command bridge and hangar containing a brick-built scale model of a Republic Gunship. The escape shuttle looks roamy enough, a bit dull though but it could have a PS III stached away somewhere, but the other shuttle :-| - come on!

Hans Burkhard Schlömer: Adding a sub-micro scale Republic Gunship flying out of a side hangar bay is clearly a nod to my previous UCS set, 75309. Inside you get some retracting guns, a storage box, a little shuttle and space for a droid and figure. This highly detailed and impressive 5,374 piece LEGO set is the first​ Star Wars™​ Ultimate Collector Series ​building set ​​inspired by ​the Venator-class Star Destroyer and​ is the​ first ​Clone Wars ​​building ​set to join the range. Open the front panel to access the Chancellor’s quarters, reveal the hidden wing-cannons, and drop bombs on the Separatist forces below! From video game journalism to kids’ publishing, I’ve been there, seen it, done it and worn the T-shirt.The limited edition Republic Cruiser is ready to shuttle Jedi Knights, ambassadors and diplomats to trouble spots all across the galaxy! I felt it important not to have any steps or breaks in the lines, just because it would be easier to design that way. The set's minifigures include Chancellor Palpatine, two Senate Commandos with rifles, one Clone Pilot and a Clone Gunner.
