Star Wars’ Clone Wars-era Republic Gunship may not be a miracle of practicaliy but I think it’s cool as heck and that alone is reason enough to pick up this Lego Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship, $42 off for Amazon Prime Day.
Save $42 on this Lego Star Wars Coruscant Gunship set
The other reason? This set has already been retired by Lego meaning that not only are you saving big, this could be your last chance to buy the Lego Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship, before scalpers start selling it for silly money on eBay.
On top of looking seriously imposing, this Lego set has major play potential. You can swoosh it round the living room, loaded it up with the five included mini figures and accidentally drop Chancellor Palpatine because there’s something off about that guy.
If this set isn’t to your taste (maybe you’re one of those evil Separatists), we’ve rounded up the Best Lego Star Wars sets. And don’t forget to check out our other Prime Day deals.

This is a real Prime Day deal double-whammy. Not only is this Lego Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship $42 off, the cheapest it has ever been, but as a retired set this could be your last chance to own it. Without paying silly money to eBay scalpers, that is; it’s already sold out on Lego’s website.
Not only does this set look good on a shelf, but it has got real potential, with opening and closing doors, firing missiles and a special handle to swoosh it around your living room!
It also boasts five minifigures: Three Clone Troopers, Chancellor Palpatine and Senator Padme Amidala. Go on, Padme, give Palpatine a push. It’ll save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
If you love the Clone Wars era of Star Wars, this is a superb offer but you’ll have to move fast.

Reviews consensus: We loved the UCS Lego Star Wars Republic gunship, and this smaller model is also extremely cool, albeit with just five figures. Its Amazon reviews are near unanimous; few complain about the price tag and this price cut addresses that.
✅ Buy it if: You want a brilliant, play-friendly set to go with your other Clone Wars Lego sets.
❌ Don’t buy it if: You’re not a fan of the Clone Wars era. Instead, consider something like this Lego Star Destroyer, also reduced for Prime Day.
