What do you think of the Coruscant Guard Gunship? Will this set find its way into your collection? When all is said and done, this is a Clone Wars set that’s a minifigure-scale Republic Gunship with the Coruscant Guard battalion, so this will sell quite well, and will appeal to kids who grew up watching the Clone Wars who are now working adults with disposable income.ħ5354 Coruscant Guard Gunship will go on sale on 1 September 2023 from and your local LEGO store. Here Are The Best LEGO Sets Launching On August 1st, 2023. That said, the minifigure-scale format is going to be great for swooshing, and this seems like a great playset and transport for Clones. Star Wars: Dark Droids 1 Review: Bringing Significance to Silliness. I’m a big fan of the red colour scheme as it’s a pretty unique version of the Republic Gunship, but I must say that it’s really disappointing that there are no bubble turrets on the wings. A pilot would’ve been really nice and might help dampen the set’s expensive pricetag. The minifigure selection is excellent, and it’s great to get non-Sith Palpatine, as well as Amidala, and of course the Coruscant Guard clones. The set looks to be based off the Clone Wars animated series, and comes with 5 minifigures – from left to right, we have Chancellor Palpatine, Padme Amidala, Commander Fox, and two Coruscant Guards. This 1,083 piece Low-Altitude Aerial Transport (LAAT) model is exciting as it’s the first minifigure-scale Republic Gunship since 2013’s 75021 Republic Gunship – a nice alternative to the larger, and more expensive UCS Republic Gunship. See below for regional pricing and product pages: "These aren't just static statues that you just put into a console game.LEGO’s online shop has given us a look at 75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship, an upcoming September 2023 release that’s bound to delight Clone Trooper fans.ħ5354 Coruscant Guard Gunship has a 1 September 2023 release date and will retail for US$139.99 / €149.99. "You don't need a $200 console, you don't need a $60 game, you don't need a $20 statue," Labovitz said. But Jeff Labovitz, global marketing director for Star Wars at Hasbro, told NBC News that having a lighterweight alternative to pricey games like "Skylanders" or "Disney Infinity" is what families will find appealing about "Angry Birds Star Wars II." Ranging from $4.99 for an individual character to $39.99 for the full-blown " Star Destroyer Set," Labovitz said that the toys were meant to be more flexible than their older rivals - both in terms of their price and their compatibility with non-gaming hardware like iPads and Android phones. Turning an often freemium, decidedly "casual" game into a premium product might seem daunting. A starter pack for "Skylanders" or "Disney Infinity" will run you more than $75, but all of the Angry Birds games have cost a dollar or two at most, leaving Rovio to make up the rest of its profits through in-game advertising or peripheral merchandising. "So why wouldn't it work?"Īside from the fact that it's a mobile-first product, what sets "Angry Birds Star Wars II" apart from these other toy-game hybrids is the fact that "Angry Birds" is not a premium product. "You've got 'Angry Birds' and 'Star Wars,' which are both very powerful franchises already," McGowan said. And when it comes to making hit kids products, the two companies are hitting all the right notes. Both Disney and Nintendo have introduced competing console games in recent month with "Disney Infinity" and "Pokémon Rumble U" respectively. But it wasn't until the unexpected success of Activision's multibillion-dollar Skylanders franchise that people began to see the idea as anything more than pie in the sky. Rovio EntertainmentĬompanies have been trying to combine digital and physical media like this for quite some time, McGowan said. Letting players mix and match which creatures they want to slingshot on a given turn adds a new level of complexity to the already strong gameplay. Sean McGowan, an analyst at Needham & Co., told NBC News that the Telepods are Hasbro and Rovio's attempt to enter into the fast-growing field of kid-friendly entertainment products that combine the virtual experiences of video games with real-world toys. In partnership with Hasbro, Rovio is launching "Angry Birds Star Wars II" with a number of physical toys, "Telepods," that interact with the mobile game through a plastic base that situates the action figures on top of the smartphone or tablet's camera to scan the toy's QR code and then bring it into the action onscreen. But what's intriguing about "Angry Birds Star Wars II" is what's outside the app.
