According to it box image on FBTB Flickr Stream, this Star Wars Episode II : Attack of the Clones sub-theme set contains 1175 pieces used to build 7 minifigures (only 2 of them that aren't new), an epic Republic Gunship, a swoop bike, and some accessories.

Minifigures
  • Anakin Skywalker (new) - He is the new 2013 Episode II version of Anakin Skywalker minifigure. He got newly added hair piece and nice printed Jedi uniform on his torso, back, and legs. The torso also printed with Padawan trademark hair marking. A green bladed lightsaber is equipped to him.
  • Padme Amidala (new) - This new version of Padme Amidala minifigure looks better than her CW version from 9515 The Malevolence. She got new double sided face, hair piece, and cool body markings. She equipped with a regular blaster.
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi (new) - He looks so funny because of a newly added hair piece on him. But overall he is still good new minifigure. Just like the other new 2013 Jedi minifigure, he got printed uniform on his body and legs. A blue bladed lightsaber is equipped to him.
  • Clone Pilot (new) - He is actually the same as the regular Clone Trooper minifigure from 75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas but with slightly different helmet and torso markings. He equipped with a blaster pistol.
  • Clone Trooper Captain (new) - Unlike the Clone Sergeant from 75019 AT-TE, this Clone minifigure is correctly named. Red colors as the Phase I Captain marker are printed on his helmet, torso, and arms. A newly included blaster rifle also equipped to him.
  • Super Battle Droid (x2) - There is nothing new about them.
Republic Gunship
This newer version of Republic Gunship is really great and pretty accurate to the movie version. It comes with a lot of features like 2 opening cockpit, a decent space for troop transport and scaled smaller vehicle, retractable doors, storage area below the pilot cockpit and above the rear cannon, 3 movable cannons (two in front and one in back), 4 laser turrets with bubble canopies and its gunner seat, and 8 flick-fire missiles. There also a rack of additional flick missiles, a carrying handle, and a swoop bike that included to this iconic vehicle.

This preview is based on the images and video coverage of LEGO® Star Wars™ 75021 Republic Gunship when displayed in 2013 NY Toy Fair from FBTB Flickr Stream and YouTube channel.
