It’s good but has a lot of flaws
so it’s not as black and white as Lego tends to be. This set is good. But not great. The set is beautiful. Some fantastic building techniques, gorgeous minifigures and a brilliant suspension system. But its size and price leaves so much to be desired. It’s significantly smaller than the 2010 Turbo tank is, I have added a photo for reference. Its price tag is an eye watering £139.99 which is no way shape or form worth it. Not in a million years. I was fortunate to get this from Smyths toys superstore for £104 which I still think is a bit too expensive. Its stability is lacking. I can’t handle this set as well as the 2010 turbo tank, even though the set is 15 years old. Overall, it looks gorgeous, minifigures are fantastic but the price tag and stability is what ruins this set. I hope Lego understand the price tag is not acceptable for Lego Star Wars and make some serious changes.
Y’all are overreacting
The set itself isn’t bad, sure it’s $40 too overpriced, so I’d recommend waiting for a sale, but other than that, I really like it! The new Ki Adi Mundi, and the Galactic Marines look GREAT, while the juggernaut itself is downscaled, it is very proportionately accurate, the build experience overall was awesome (took me about an hour to build it all) and I really like that the wheels can move up and down, which makes for a great play function (I personally don’t play with my Lego but whatever). Overall I’d rate the set a solid 8.5/10, if they dropped the price to $120 and added an extra marine or two, i think it would be a 10/10.
Super beautiful set and handy bags. Great instruction booklet!
Nice set
Clone commander Alvin looks like a chipmunk
Bro, still can’t believe a got this. The galactic marines are the only good thing abt it, and they are not that great. Bacara literally looks like a chipmunk with nuts in his cheeks. Worst of all when I play with this it breaks so easily, like I pick it up and it breaks. It is tragic to me that Lego just wants to scam their before loyal customers, and I hope they learn from their mistakes. Look forward to throwing this piece of junk at my wall.
Slop
Lego has once again outdone themselves. This is by far the most overpriced set EVER! Not only are the figures lack luster and don’t have waistcapes but the build has major flaws aswell, I cannot believe Lego would produce something that Connor even be picked up. Overall this set is way too overpriced and Lego is trying to steal from their fans.
Awful quality
at nearly 20¢ per piece (median for lego is 10¢) and the AWFUL stability of this set, makes it not even remotely worth spending your money on. realistically this is no more than 100 dollar set. it’s beyond fragile. I bought mine on 5th Av in NY about 4 days ago and it has completely SHATTERED TWICE. Mind you, i’ve been buying lego since 2014 and not a single one of my sets has shattered when dropped no more than a foot off the ground. If you aim to purchase a republic juggernaut or any star wars “lego” set. Do it somewhere else because these new sets are AWFUL
Ts buns
fans of The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith were understandably excited. The last major Turbo Tank release was nearly a decade ago, and anticipation was high for a modern reimagining of this iconic Republic vehicle.
Unfortunately, what we got was not a glorious return. It was a downgrade in nearly every way.

Design – A Hollow Shell of Its Former Self
Let’s get straight to the core problem: the design feels lazy and uninspired. Gone are the bulky, tank-like proportions of the 2005 and 2010 versions. This new model is shockingly skinny, missing the aggressive, armored look that gave the original its commanding presence. It looks more like a wheeled cargo hauler than a juggernaut built for battle.
To make matters worse, the build feels fragile. The central frame lacks structural integrity, especially if you’re trying to play with it. You know, like kids are supposed to? Worst lego set ive ever purchased and worst priced as well truly a terrible set well done lego for ruining your prices and making lego fans hate you 🤬
Ts turbo tank pmo 🥀
Instead of buying what could be up to 5 of the clone trooper and battle droid battle pack for $30 each, i unfortunately bought the wrong thing. The turbo tank is full of flaws in both the figures and build due to inaccuracy, size, and stability. But by far the biggest and egregious problem of the set is pricing. $160 for a 800 pieces is insane and im pretty sure unseen of in any lego sets. I also know on how lego has made retail stores like walmart and target purposefully put only one turbo tank on the top shelf to make it seem like people were actually buying it. Overall the turbo tank and the other lego sets along this wave of sets are undoubtably a disappointment
Lego has gone too far
Lego knows they can use brand recognition and fan loyalty to justify charging insane prices, they’ve been doing it for years and it’s worked. They’ll do things like finally give fans mini figures they’ve wanted for decades and put them into massively overpriced sets to get fans to bite the bullet and give in. They’ll do the same for vehicles. But in the same breath they’ll do mediocre at best work for both sets and figures, shrink the set and remove features and tell you it’s for playability/affordability and on top of that have the balls to massively increase the price. It’s called taking advantage of their consumer base, and they’ve finally gone too far with this one. Lego fans are a forgiving bunch, but this is egregious.
Do better
This is one of the worst lego star wars sets of all time the set is horribly flimsy and breakable and is insanely overpriced for 800+ pieces for example the mid scale star destroyer is about the same price with about twice the amount of pieces. Not only is it flimsy and overpriced and some of the mini figs don't come with cloth and some don't even correlate to the set and it's extremely downsized for its price and comparison to the 2010 version. Lego you can do better
Overpriced
It’s 160 dollars and is very small, terrible structure, horrendous figs, and overall just better off buying an older turbo tank
Absolute disater
This Lego set is a disgrace to the Lego moto "Only the best is good enough", not only are the minifigures missing cloth waist capes but they are also thrown into a set that doesn't correlate to them at all. The set is flimsy and can easily fall apart during play and is very undersized, it is also egregiously overpriced, value wise it is one of the worst lego starwars sets of all time, I love Lego Star Wars and I feel that you guys make good products but this one is just abysmal. I hope you guys can fix the issues you are currently having and make Lego Star Wars what it used to be.
Ts is buns
Too expensive, tiny, only the figs are good. I would not recommend this to anyone who can even afford this price tag. Please improve your prices lego.
Horrible Value
This set is extremely overpriced and has an inaccurate Captain Bacara. Even though this should've been a UT-AT, Lego still is able to somehow downsize the set to an extremely small size while also throwing in some battle droids in order to make us feel like it has "value". If this was $110 at the MAXIMUM I could understand this, but because it's so flimsy and inaccurate, that might even be pushing it. Lego's moto is "Only the best is good enough" and frankly this is nowhere close. If only Lego could acknowledge that they made this horrible, maybe we could move on and get some good value sets like back in 2014.
Please don't buy this
please don't buy this, terrible value for money, looks silly and the build is so so so small, literally a scam compared to same priced sets elswhere on lego website. Piece count does not match the price at all, just have a look out how mucg other 800 piece set costs. Scam please dont fall for it
Embarrassing
I was so excited to finally be able to buy a turbo tank since I missed out on previously released sets. And now all I want to do is get rid of it. This was the most frustrating build I think I’ve ever done. This set is flimsy and very undersized. I spent more time trying to put the set back together than I did assembling it. I had to take several doors off in order to finish the build because every time I tried to move the set the doors fell off. Also the set is barely bigger than midi-scale acclamator that I have, which are less than half the cost of this joke. I’m so disappointed in the Lego group for this set and I hope they see these reviews and listen to us. I’m going to be selling the tank to try to re-coup some of my money. If you’re buying this set for the mini-figs, go to re-seller apps to get them.
Goodish Set
This set is 100% overpriced. I think a better price would be 120$. Just because there are new molds, new prints, and mini-figures that we haven’t had in forever doesn’t mean you can jack up the price by 40$. This set comes with 6 bags and 1 unnumbered bag with the sand blue pieces for the wheels. The minifigures selection is very good though. I really like the cockpits they just look sick. I also absolutely love the maned turret on the smaller side of the turbo tank it is dope. I feel like the look out tower doesn’t look too good, it just looks really off. Also when I was putting in the wand pieces on the side they didn’t even go in to the holes. I am talking about on the front of the box there is a circle piece on the side of the turbo tank, and there are 2 wand pieces that doesn’t even fit in the holes. Like Lego what are you doing first you overprice amazing sets with amazing minifigures, then you make so some of the pieces can’t even go in. But the wand pieces not fitting in doesn’t make the set any worse or any better, I am just very suprised by what Lego is doing. But overall I feel like this is a cool set just not the price.
Daylight robbery
Do I even need to say anything the minifigs are not worth the extra $100
Disappointed
When hearing about the release of the Galactic Marine troopers I was over the moon. When I first saw this turbo tank set I was really disappointed, by the look and size of the model. Yet I gave it a chance even though at 160$ I think is extremely overpriced. For reference recently purchased 2 LEGO AT-TE’s with 2,160 pieces for 175$! Well after building this set I can say I am so underwhelmed with the quality and stability of this build. The minifigures just feel so incomplete without the proper waist cape… why go all the way to making an awesome new helmet mold for both the marines and Comander Bacara but not giving us accessories they need. I really wish Lego would listen to their fans and put more time and effort into making Lego Star Wars sets specifically, seems like all the other genres of Lego get much more attention and budget.
Don’t buy full price
I’ll start this review off with this set is great for the figs, mundi, bacara, and the marines. But the actual build is fragile and small. 873 pieces for $160 is outrageous on top of the fact that the tank pales in comparison to past year versions. This set is worth 110-120 maximum I would not suggest purchasing it unless on sale
