He’s back! Officially announced by Lego, a new Lego Clone Wars set is coming in October: Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser 75367, and this huge set is going to feature a new Lego Captain Rex.
Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser
Including 5,374 pieces, the set is going to be sold for $649.99 on Lego.com starting on October 4th—or October 1st early access if you are a Lego Insiders member.
This new venator set is based on the Clone Wars and features many details Star Wars fans will recognize, such as red stripes and a hangar that contains a smaller republic gunship inside. The set is made for display specifically and includes built-in stands and a centerpiece. The ship measures 43 in. / 109 cm. long.
Two Minifigures
Despite the huge price and piece count, only two minifigures are included—Phase Two Captain Rex and Admiral Yularen. From the photos we can see Rex looks very similar to the incredibly-rare and valuable Captain Rex minifigure that came in the old BARC Speeder with Sidecar set 75012 that was released back in 2013. The main difference is the lack of dirt on his suit. I wasn’t sure what to think about Lego re-releasing a Captain Rex so similar, though I was very happy to see they made his printing noticeable different—different enough to keep fans wanting both figures. Coming in such an expensive set, it’s inevitable this new Rex will gain a similar rare value as the old Rex. Let me know in the comments what you think about this news. I’ve also included a photo of the old Rex below next to the new one.
The old figure is the one on the left with the dirt, and the new figure is the one with the antenna. Unfortunately, this was the best image quality I could find, as Lego hasn’t released an official close-up image of the new Captain Rex on their site.
Admiral Yularen is also a figure we’ve seen before, though this one looks much different. He sports a dark suit and brown hair.
