Republic Fighter Tank (Set 7679-1) — Star Wars, 2008 The Republic Fighter Tank is one of the more underappreciated entries in LEGO's Clone Wars lineup, bringing to life the heavily armored HAVw A6 Juggernaut — or more precisely, its smaller cousin, the Infantry Support Platform — as seen in the animated Clone Wars series. Released in 2008 at the height of the Clone Wars wave, this set captures the chunky, utilitarian aesthetic of Republic ground vehicles with impressive accuracy for its era. At 596 pieces, the build offers a satisfying level of complexity. The tank features a rotating turret, dual spring-loaded shooters, and a hinged cockpit canopy that opens to seat a pilot. The tracked design is replicated through LEGO's segmented track link system, giving the model a convincing sense of mass and mechanical weight. The dark red and grey color blocking is consistent with the animated series' visual style and holds up well against modern standards. Notably, this set ships with zero minifigures, which is unusual for a vehicle of this scale in the Star Wars theme. For collectors, that absence actually makes the build itself the centerpiece rather than the figures, and the tank holds its own as a display piece when finished. This set is best suited for Star Wars enthusiasts who focus on the Clone Wars era, vehicle collectors, and builders who appreciate military-style LEGO construction with tactile, mechanical elements. It rewards patience and attention to the track-laying process in particular. As a 2008 release, this set has already long passed its retail window, making it a secondary market find. Vintage Clone Wars sets from this generation have demonstrated steady appreciation among collectors, and 7679-1 remains a compelling addition to any Republic military display. If you encounter it at a competitive price, it is well worth securing.
