LEGO Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Troopers 75280 Building Kit, Cool Action Set for Creative Play and Awesome Building; Great Gift or Special Surprise for Kids (285 Pieces)

As a LEGO Star Wars fan who has been collecting sets for over a decade, this set is a great value. You get three clone troopers and one jetpack trooper along with two battle droids and two small builds to help build your army. It is irregular for LEGO to put a good price on such highly requested minifigures, but this set has a great variety of characters at a low price. Personally, I had been hoping for a set including the 501st troopers for years and previously there had only been one set made with a 501st legion trooper included. In the Clone Wars series, this legion played a big part, and this set allows you to build your own army. The structure and integrity of the speeder is solid and there aren’t many pieces that can easily break off or are loose. It is also visually accurate and just looks cool. It has a place for a clone trooper to sit to operate the speeder and has two stud shooters on the front for play. The walker is an AT-RT and is really sturdy. It can easily stand on flat surfaces and carpet. You can move the legs to be in different walking positions, which makes it good for display or play. It also has a stud shooter on the front as a cannon. The colors and aesthetic are appealing and accurate to the Clone Wars series. There is a space for one trooper to sit atop the walker to operate it. The 501st clone trooper minifigures have really good prints and molds for their helmets. One of the helmets on one of the clones was misprinted but I contacted LEGO and they were great about sending a replacement helmet with the correct printing for free. Two of the troopers come armed with the usual medium-sized LEGO Star Wars blasters (which are fine and better than stud shooters), and one comes with a larger rifle which is pretty sick. The jetpack trooper has a really nice blue jetpack with blue markings on its armor. He comes armed with two smaller blasters. This trooper was a reference to the game Star Wars Battlefront II and it perfectly represents the character. It also comes with two regular battle droids. There’s nothing special about them, but they are a nice addition and add to the value of the set. All in all, it’s a great set that would be great as a gift for kids to play with or to display for a Star Wars LEGO collector.

Lego nerd and recent college grad here. This set is outstanding and is the perfect gift for anyone (including and especially yourself). I would absolutely recommend it for so many reasons. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: Most people buying this set are doing it to get the four clone troopers. They absolutely live up to the hype. They are extremely meticulously detailed and it is the first time these popular figures have been produced in a pack like this. Their blue highlights contrast greatly with the white armor and I am particularly pleased that they have detailed printing on their feet and legs and the back of their torsos. They look great on my shelf. This is also the only set to include a Clone-jet trooper with blue markings (a very popular figure from the Clone Wars TV show. He has a blue jet pack (a piece exclusive to this set in this color) and looks good with or without the jetpack on. This variety also increases the ways I can play with him. All of the troopers feature the same head underneath the helmet, but it is new and looks very serious and accurate to the movies and tv show. The other vehicles continue the blue color scheme and also look great, though there are a few criticisms which I will discuss below. Cons: I generally like the speeder and the walker, but a few things I have noticed is that they are quite big in proportion to the figures, and look a bit awkward when displayed next to other sets released this year (though they look great when displayed on their own). I am also not a fan of the stickers which are annoying to apply and look a bit funky. Finally, though the two battle-droids are a nice edition to the set, I wish they had some more printing on them. I feel like they lack character and were kind of an add-on. Overall, though these are small downsides and I'd highly recommend this set if you are able to get it.

This was THE Lego set of 2020, hands down. The figures, builds and overall set is damn near perfect. Many people complained about the AT-RT was too large, and while yes it is not perfectly scaled, I believe it still captures the detail of the AT-RT, just at a 'playset' scale. Not to mention the countless 'alternate builds' out there; people using the pieces from one or more of this set to make completely different vehicles and scenarios. Of course I can't skip out on the figures. This is the perfect army builder for anyone looking to build up a nice army of the 501st. Three standard troops, a jetpack trooper, as well as two battle droids, which when you buy several of the same set, will add up. Printing quality is great now, however in the past there used to be some quality issues. The price retailed for $30, and now I see it hover in the $42-45 range. If you ever see it for $30, definitely pick one up before it's too late. This is one of the greatest LEGO Star Wars sets they've ever made, especially for army building, custom builds, or just plain fun with friends and family. I'll be sad to see this set leave mass production, as it will always have a special place in my heart.

Great set! Its been discontinued so Im thrilled to have found it!

LEGO IS RETIRING THIS SET. BUY NOW!! Great value for the money and an excellent way for juveniles and man-children (like myself) to build a little army of clones. Check out alternate builds using one or multiples of this set. I've seen LAAT gunship, Fighter tanks, and even some walker builds on YouTube. I've purchased around 5 of these at Target and Walmart and am waiting for 3 more from here. With Lego retiring this set at the end of this year, this is an excellent last minute gift. GET EM WHILE THEYRE HOT

If he loves them then so do I.

Great set, but for some reason 3 stickers came loose and was stuck in the instructions

I have been collecting LEGO for a few years now and I have to say this set is well worth it for the price. I never thought about it much as a kid, well at least from me starting to collect. I have always wanted to get more of these types of sets, but never really had the time to collect or save enough. This set is a MUST HAVE if you are looking to collect or even start your own army. I try to buy 2-4 every two or three weeks. Once again Excellent set at an affordable price!

Questa è una scatola che, come molti altri, desideravo aggiungere alla mia collezione, ma per oltre un mese è stata molto difficile da trovare, in quanto per le minifigures contenute è stata un vero successo. Da anni la gente chiedeva un battlepack della 501st Legion, e ogni anno veniva rumoreggiata la sua imminente uscita, salvo poi essere smentita puntualmente. Quest'anno invece, seppur non nelle vesti del tradizionale battlepack, i fans sono stati accontentati. Il set comprende due veicoli e sei minifigures, che si dividono nel BARC Speeder, due Cloni e i due droidi nella busta numero 1 e l'AT-RT, e i due cloni rimasti nella seconda busta. I veicoli sono ben fatti e divertenti da costruire, anche se li trovo decisamente fuori scala rispetto alle minifig. Minifigures che sono assolutamente il punto di forza di questo set: comincerei parlando dei due battle droids, che sono ormai classici, ma permettono di aumentare il numero di questi simpaticoni nelle nostre collezioni. Troviamo poi tre Clone Troopers della 501st, con una stampa completamente nuova (addirittura è stampata la parte frontale dei piedi) e un nuovo volto sotto il casco, con una tonalità di pelle più scura rispetto a quella dei precedenti cloni. Infine c'è il Jet Trooper, con la stampa de torso e del casco differente da quella dei suoi "fratelli" generici, e dotato di braccia blu. Oltre ovviamente al Jetpack. Inoltre, a differenza dei classici Battlepack, ogni minifigures è dotata di un fucile classico, a differenza dello sparapatate che eravamo abituati a trovare nei box da 15€. Per finire, consiglio assolutamente questo set, anche se penso sia inutile dirlo visto il successo riscosso.

Perfekt set av lego, skitbra pris är så nöjd varav 5 stjärnor

Das LEGO Star Wars Set 75280 „Clone Troopers der 501. Legion“ ist wirklich ein tolles Set für alle Star-Wars-Fans. Besonders die Minifiguren sind ein großes Highlight, da die 501st Legion bei vielen Fans sehr beliebt ist. Die Drucke der Figuren sehen hochwertig aus und die Auswahl ist gelungen. Auch die kleinen Fahrzeuge wie der BARC Speeder und der AT-RT machen beim Bauen Spaß und passen gut zum Set. Der Aufbau ist nicht zu schwer und dadurch sowohl für Kinder als auch für erwachsene Sammler geeignet. Insgesamt bekommt man hier viel für sein Geld, vor allem wenn man gerne Clone-Trooper sammelt oder Szenen aus The Clone Wars nachbauen möchte. Für mich definitiv eines der besten LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs der letzten Jahre.

Polecam 👍

Great for army building
