Republic Fighter Tank

"With a BrickScore of 82.9, the Republic Fighter Tank is a crowd-pleasing Clone Wars centerpiece — reviewers are near-unanimous that its feature-packed design, sturdy build, and Battlefront accuracy make it one of the best Star Wars sets of its era, with only a thin minifigure selection and some loose parts holding it back from perfection."

The Republic Fighter Tank (7679) earns near-universal enthusiasm from reviewers, who consistently call it one of the best Clone Wars sets of its era. The model's faithful recreation of the IFT-X from Star Wars Battlefront is a major draw, and the sheer density of interactive features — hidden flick-fire missiles, a pop-up gunner seat, multiple storage compartments, and hidden wheels that simulate hovering — is praised across the board. At $50 for 592 pieces, the majority of reviewers felt the value was strong, though a vocal minority wished the price were closer to $40. The minifigure count (just two clones) is the most common point of disappointment.

Where they split: Most reviewers agreed on value, but opinions on the $50 price split roughly 50/50 — about half rated value for money at 100 and half at 80, with some explicitly wishing the price were $40–$45. A couple of reviewers noted minor accuracy issues vs. Battlefront (turret rotation, missile color), while most were satisfied with the overall likeness.
