A set with three 501st Troopers and one 501st Jet Trooper? What's not to like?

Well ideally it should have just been a standard priced battle pack. The world would have kept spinning if this set was standard battle pack price without the battle droids and one of the side builds adding on artificial value.

The AT-RT is oversized and the battle droids are essentially worthless and they both seem tacked on to increase the amount of money army builders would have to pay to amass their army. Essentially doubling the cost of each clone trooper for army builders.

It's actually a very impressive way to get more money from a set while technically adding more value at a glance. And considering how many people went out and bought 100 of these. That was a smart business decision on lego's part. For the rest of us though, it's just a very expensive battle pack.

That small issue aside. The figures are high quality, and were HIGHLY requested at the time. The BARC Speeder build is great if a little oversized, Lego AT-RTs do seem to still be excessively large as well.

That said the figures carry the set and I have bought several of these, and went on to buy several of the figures loose.

The 501st Legion served under Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex. This set is the perfect example of a battle pack. Including several clone troopers and two battle droids for opposition.
Three of the troopers are 501st clone soldiers with blue decorations marking their phase II clone armour.

One trooper is a 501st Jetpack trooper he has red markings on his helmet and torso with blue arms and a blue jet pack.

Two battle droids are included.

The build is pretty simple and straightforward. First you build a clone BARC speeder. Then you build a Clone Walker or AT-RT. They both are a bit large compared to the Minifigures but look amazing as far as details go. The speeder has stud shooters and the walker can move its legs and has a single stud shooter.

Overall this is a great set. The only complaint I have is that the AT-RT's legs and feet have a limited range of motion. I also would have liked them to have included Captain Rex in phase II armour, but I guess that would have defeated the purpose of a battle pack. Other than that this is a great set with loads of playability and details. I am sad to see it go after a good long two year production run. I can only hope for as great of success with 75345 501st Clone Trooper Battle Pack.

This was the first battle pack I purchased. Since then, I have bought several other battle packs and this remains the best.

The Republic Forces.

The number of clones was the first reason I bought this. The updated version of these minifigures are far better than their earlier counterparts. Their printings are very close to those in the cartoon and I love the inclusion of the rocket trooper, rather than another clone trooper or Jedi.

AT-RT:

The walker is a great model and can have better articulation if you flip the legs. I wish the model itself was small and minifigure scale. I also opted to replace the stud shooter gun with a more accurate gun.

BARC Speeder:

The speeder seems oversized, but it has lots of detail and I can live with that. Building the model was very enjoyable, which surprised me.

Overall:

The set was well executed and a big thumbs up to the designer. It provides a great way to build your armies and bust up some clankers!

The long awaited set brought about the fans apparently disappointed many, based off what I saw from the comment section of the official review. I don't understand this at all. While I understand that what people expect out of a quote-un-quote, 'Battle Pack', is a small build and 4 massable figures, I think this simply accomplishes the same achievement on a greater scale. Many people complain about this not being minifigure scale, but this holds no weight as most Star Wars sets are either vastly undersized or sometime oversized. The BARC Speeder is truthfully quite long, but the level of detail and smoothness makes up for this size expansion. As for the AT-RT, its colour scheme and various details do improve over 75002, while simultaneously being closer to minifigure scale. The stud shooter could've been improved however, and the frontal armour of 75002 is more appealing to me that the modern version, despite likely being less accurate. As for the minifigures, outside of the strange absence of belt, possible partial blue arm printing for the normal trooper, and perhaps a dual moulded jetpack, they are perfect. The minifigures feature outstanding detail, along with a more Episode 3 accurate face. The battle droids require no changes as they were perfected long ago, although a STAP or driodeka would've helped with imaginative play and helped make the price of $30 U.S better to some people. All in all, the 501st Legion Clone Troopers is an excellent set with what is possibly the most celebrated clone legion in all of Star Wars.

The figs are obviously astounding. The 501st troops are perfect, the jetpack trooper is a great addition, and the battle droid are an extra little treat

The atrt is very oversized, but it still looks good.

The barc speeder is also very oversized, but also looks good
