Opening;

The Lego star wars 501st legion clone troopers is an amazing set with amazing figures , good builds and the best value for a currently available set .

The Minifigures -

The minifigures , just ignoring their greatness , include three identical 501st troopers with great helmet prints , nice new for summer 2020 clone heads , great detailed torso with appropriately placed white arms and good leg printing with exceptional toe prints and the Accessories for these three are just the standard Lego blasters , the 501st jet trooper is a great inclusion with a helmet looking similar to (RIP) ARC trooper fives , the same clone face , a mandalorian style blue jet pack , nice torso printing with blue arms and the same legs as the other troops , his accessory is the regular long rifle with the black candle stick piece added to the end to make it a DC-15A rifle I believe . And finally the most shocking inclusion is two battle droids this is great as these are exceptional army builders with the tan , head moulds , body , different arms and stationary legs and their regular blaster Accessories .

The build-

The build for the BARC speeder is very nice and surprisingly long making it not minifigure scale but I couldn't care less about that ; the front has a new piece for a pointed 2×2 tile and two side mounted stud shooters with little stabilising fins , there is a large central top slope stickered , with a blue nexo knights shield underneath for sloping , the seating area features a very nice chair and very pose able handle bars , behind that there is another sloped brick with three very painful to put on stickers and a side intake on each side using a snot technic technique and finally there is an extra rifle on each side accurate to the speeder in universe . The other build of the set is an AT-RT starting with the feet they are curved on the sides and use a silver tooth piece for the toes , there is a ratchet joint that connects them to the leg assembly which first off has a sticker on each piece and the next leg subassembly uses some dishes for what represents some sockets then the base is very straight forward but effective , the head is very nicely built at the front with a mixture of wings , cheese slopes and tiles at least one of each using a sticker , then the seating area is sloped nicely with two varying sizes of antennas at the very back securely connected with clips , the controls include a 1×2 printed cheese slope and a pair of handle bars and finally the cannon is unfortunately just a stud shooter which is a bit of a shame .

In conclusion-

this is the best Lego set of this year , not my favourite , but the best , it has perfect figures , great builds and an incredible value , my only complaints are ; nowhere to put the BARC speeder drivers weapon whilst he is in the speeder , the amount of stickers and the cannon on the AT-RT just a great set and thanks to M&R productions for his campaign to make this set happen (with a method that isn't annoying in my eyes) .I hope to get to at least three of them in my collection as I am really getting into a smaller scale of army building .

#WEGOTA501STBATTLEPACK

In first place i wanna mention that this set comes with 3 awesome looking 501st clone troopers. I have to say i really like how clean they look. They include really detailed torso & leg printing & even toe printing! I also really like this new helmet printing, i think it looks a lot better than the 2013 one. The face print is also cool enough, i guess... just, I'm not convinced about this new colouring... i think the white hips are a lot better, i think they make it look a lot cleaner, just like the arms.

Next up we have the 501st jet trooper, i really like the torso printing & the inclusion of this blue arms, i think they make it more distinguible than the others. I allso really like the helmet print for him, i think it looks amazing!

And last but not least this set includes 2 b1 battle droids, so, with this set you are'nt only building your 501st army, because you have the ability to build your battle droid army!

The vehicles are allso really cool, but if you buy this set, it will be for the Minifigs

So, in conclusion, i think it's a really good set & it's a must buy for any star wars fan, specially if you like the clone wars!

LEGO set number 75280, 501st Legion Clone Troopers, is a $30 army - building set with 285 pieces, six figures, and two main builds. When this set was released, I welcomed it with open arms. Unlike battle packs, this set is $30, but is well worth it, considering its potential as a playset and, as it is more likely to be used, when bought in multiples, an army - builder.

501st Legion Clone Troopers contains six figures, four of which are 501st Legion trooper minifigures. The standard 501st trooper included in this set is outstanding. It has printings on both feet, along with a white belt or "thigh" piece, which has normally been found in black on clone troopers. The updated printing on the torso and legs looks great on these troopers. The helmet has a printing on the cheeks creating a shadow effect, along with blue marking, which continue on the torso. The heads used in all of the clones are the newer clone face, matching the live - action clones more than the ones seen in The Clone Wars. The 501st Jet Trooper has the same legs and head as the other troopers, but has a different torso printing, which revolves to the back, although the back of the torso element is not visible under the blue jetpack element. The helmet on this minifigure is similar to the others, except the cheek shadows are blue, and there are red markings as well. The blue on his helmet is different from that of the other three. Two standard clones, along with the jet trooper, have standard blasters. A fourth weapon included is a blaster rifle extended by a black candle element. The final figures included are B-1 Battle Droids, which have a slightly changed foot element, although the only difference I see is very small. They also carry blaster elements.

The first of the two vehicles in this set is a BARC speeder, which is longer than a LEGO BARC speeder normally appears. It is very sleek, and cleverly uses a snowshoe element, which has been seen in previous renditions of the vehicle. It has few stickers compared to the AT-RT also included in the set. The side - mounted stud shooters on the front are understandable as a play feature. There is perfect space for a clone trooper to drive the speeder, and the handlebars are very maneuverable. There are blasters mounted on the sides as cannons, and there is ventilation underneath. Overall, the BARC speeder is phenomenal.

The AT-RT model is the second and final vehicle in the set. It is built on a sturdy base, which the legs branch off of. The leg hinge elements contain stickers that were tedious to apply, but they end up looking wonderful. The feet at the bottom of the model are built well, but have a small range of motion. The cockpit of the walker has space for a minifigure, and use a clever stacking and locking technique that allows the minifigure to be detached without interfering with the handlebars. The antennae at the rear of the build look great, and there are clips at the back to attach accessories. The stud shooter at the front could have been mounted to a longer barrel, as seen in the 20th Anniversary Clone Scout Walker, but with that aside, the AT-RT model also appears amazing.

Overall, 501st Legion Clone Troopers is an amazing set, and one which I will be purchasing several copies of. I definitely recommend this set to Star Wars fans of all ages, for having playability, displayability, and, its most likely use, army - building ability.

Finally a set to get the ever elusive 501st Trooper. I am thrilled with this set, the builds are great but the main reason to buy this is the mini figures! 3 501st Clones, 1 Jet Trooper and 2 Droids makes this set worth the $30 (USD) price tag. I would recommend getting this set before it retires because it will most likely cost $100 (USD) + on the after market after it retires.

I didn't watch the Clone Wars. I like the prequels, but I prefer the originals. That means I've only seen the 501st in Revenge of the Sith. Still, I find this set to be fantastic!

The Builds

I was surprised by the size and complexity of both builds. The box and the price pointed towards small vehicles, but that's not the case.

The BARC speeder is simply huge and very bulky, while still maintaining a sleek look. I love the design used in the front and the chair, alongside the handle bars. My only complaint with the speeder would be that there is no clip for the blaster of the driver. Anyway, that's no big deal. Oh, also, be careful when placing the stickers in the back :)

The AT-RT looks great. I love the mechanical detailing on the side, as well as the combination of brick-built and sticker decorations on the legs, which are posable by the way. The main section has those fins in the front, so you can adjust the overall size of it. The stud shooter in the front is a cool inclusion and it doesn't stand out. Also, it's on a Mixel ball joint so it has a great range of motion. The clone has a lot of space behind the panels and in the back you can see two antennas, as well as two clips, one of which is holding a pair of Thermal Binoculars. That means you can store the pilot's blaster this time!

The Minifigures

Of course, the main selling point of the set.

Three classic 501st Clones is very generous. Their design is fantastic and I like the new clone face. My only complaint would be their all-white arms. LEGO could have included some blue accents... Anyway, overall they look great! LEGO has done a really good job this time.

The Jet trooper is really nice. I may like his design a little more, maybe because of the blue arms and the more detailed helmet. It is also nice to get the jetpack piece in blue.

Two B1 battle droids are welcome, but it's high time LEGO improved their design. Still, good for army building.

Overall

I love this set. It isn't very expensive and it is a great army builder, though not listed as a battle pack. Huge thanks to MandRproductions for making this happen ;). I hope LEGO will do more of these in the future, with different Clone Legions or Imperial divisions.
