The use of larger parts and plates helps create the final look and somewhat explains the reduced need for more pieces. Bag 3 rounds out the upper turret area and introduces us to the clone army and their Jedi leader. The majority of the build (base) is done in the first two bags along with the battle droids.

BUILD: 70% Averaging the two, the Republic fighter Tank gets a final value score of 57%. Sadly the score for this criteria drops even lower to just 52%. I built the set in just over 36 minutes, translating to a cost-per-minute of $1.39. This brick count therefore nets ye olde Fighter Tank an unfortunately low score of 63%. The average for reviewed sets to date is $0.13, so this is WELL above and pretty costly. With just 262 pieces inside the box, this translates to a cost-per-brick of $0.19. The all-new Republic Fighter Tank (75342) retails for $49.99 in Canada.
