I know many builders like myself are hoping for a more substantial build from the Republic Fighter Tank compared to the previous version, but the 187 legion troopers are definitely going to be the main people-pleaser this time around. This set has been one of the least-likely rumors from the LEGO Star Wars side of things in quite some time, but officially looks to be happening now. It is likely that the build will be launching right alongside the UCS Landspeeder that 9to5Toys has been able to report on since last fall, too. Slated to release right on May 1, the kit will enter at the $39.99 price point. Other things that we can confirm as of now on LEGO set 75342 is that the Republic Fighter Tank will be arriving later this spring ahead of the full Star Wars summer 2022 wave. A closer look at the new 187 legion Clone Troopers Then as the four minifig in the Republic Fighter Tank, the LEGO Group will include the Mace Windu figure we got in last year’s UCS Republic Gunship. There will be a pair of different troopers included, with two standard Clones joined by an Airborne version. The set will feature the very first LEGO 187th legion Clone Troopers, who come decked out in purple colorways. Speaking of those minifigures, there is even more to be excited about. While we will likely see a similar overall build to its predecessor, the new LEGO 187 legion will include a better assortment of figures in order to justify the higher price compared to the lower $25 going rate last time around. Now 5 years later the same vehicle from the Clone Wars is getting the brick-built treatment once again at a higher price point. We last saw a LEGO Republic Fighter tank debut back in 2017 as set number 75182 at the $25 price point.

As for what we’ll see as the latest from LEGO Star Wars, set 75342 will arrive as the Republic Fighter Tank. ![]() Up until now there wasn’t much information on what the kit would include or when we’d see the build hit store shelves, though recent leaks have confirmed what to expect from the upcoming creation. Today’s news joins the ongoing LEGO Star Wars 2022 rumor report we first noted back at the start of the year. Alongside the nine sets that we already know are on the way, yet another LEGO build will be launching ahead of time inspired by the Clone Wars and the 187 legion,ĩto5Toys has been able to report for some time now that the 2022 lineup would include LEGO set number 75342.

Pretty interesting to see LEGO extend into Star Wars Legends, and this of course opens up so many other possibilities that LEGO could tap into for inspiration and future LEGO Star Wars sets. The presence of the 187th Legion Clone Troopers are a nice surprise, given that we’re getting Purple Clone Troopers, to go with Mace Windu, but these were technically from Star Wars Legends perspective, and were never present on-screen in the movies or any canon TV series. There are no pricing and release details yet, but the set comes with Mace Windu, 2x 187th Legion Clone Troopers (according to Brickset’s Capnrex – an Airborne Trooper as well, thanks for the ID), and 2 Battle Droids. Star Wars fans are feasting with news and reveals, as LEGO have given us our first look at an upcoming Prequel playset – 75342 Republic Fighter Tank! ![]()
