The v-19 torrent is one Star Wars ship that could really benefit from a remake. Funny how prominent it is in Clone Wars yet they only made the one minifig version in 2008.
Yay a random set of the day I own (even if it’s just a polybag)
I remember getting this. Very nice mini model. The middle wing even retracts up and the two side wings for landing position. One of my fav polybags.
I don't have this smaller version of that ship, which looks quite nice. But 7674 is among the best and one of my favorite of my SW collection for sure! Those three folding wings with retractable landing gear, all linked to the air pistons is a piece of genius - talking about Lego design and features. I love it! Like I love it in universe.
Finally! After so long, I at last iwn one of these!
My one problem with this polybag is that it only came with one Republic Cog when there are two on the playset as well as the ships in The Clone Wars... but that's what BrickLink is for. :)
Yeah, I have that one as well. Very nice polybag.

Were those rumors of a new V-19 this summer ever confirmed?
^ Nope. Still possible, though.
I used to have the minifig scale model of this ship, got it for Christmas or a Birthday in the early days of the Clone Wars TV series and Wave of Lego sets. Wish I still had it, it was an awesome set.
Lego Armys I really agree with you. It seems that this set was not that successful when it was released? and I wonder why, once again built is very interesting and when it's done and you operate the folding wings and landing gear it's such a good feature. If there is one day a new version I hope it will be almost as good as this one. And I think I would jump on it, because the overall look could be better with today's parts. Such a great set.
Agreed, it was okay. Better with a few mods.
