The exclusive arm-printed Mace Windu and 187th clones will be a big draw. Overall, the minifigure selection in this set is very strong. These are the standard moulds since 1999, but are armed with gunmetal grey blasters. The clone commander uses the same clone trooper head underneath the helmet.įinally, two Battle Droids are included as cannon fodder. The back of the figure has no purple at all, just the continuation of the tan straps from the front. His weapon is a large blaster rifle with a black candlestick piece on the end to lengthen it. His torso has less purple but features some dark tan straps, while the helmet has small purple accents. The next figure is designated as a “187th Legion Clone Commander”, although he uses an Airborne Trooper helmet which is slightly confusing. Both 187th Legion clones are armed with standard LEGO blasters in black. The back of the figure looks plain, with just a bit of purple on the belt and an extra grey strap.Īll the clone troopers in this set use the new 2020 clone trooper head. It’s a slightly strange choice of trooper, given the wide array of canonical clone trooper legions that we haven’t gotten yet in LEGO, but the figure does look quite nice – I especially like the sand blue accents on the helmet and legs.
They follow the modern Phase II Clone Trooper armour template introduced in 2020, but with purple prints. These Legends clones have purple highlights to match Mace Windu’s Lightsaber colour, and look pretty unique. Next is the new 187th Legion Clone Troopers, two of which are included in this set. Mace Windu is armed with his iconic purple lightsaber. Hopefully dual-moulding becomes more widely used too – dual-moulded white boots would have been good on this figure. His arm printing is also a welcome surprise, and it’s great that arm printing seems to slowly become more common in Star Wars sets. It’s great to get Mace Windu in a relatively affordable set, especially with his fan-favourite status. However, the torso has been updated to remove the sand from the Gunship variant, and he now has his Clone Wars-era arm print. This minifigure is very similar to the one in the UCS Republic Gunship set, even using the same head and leg pieces. The first minifigure in the set is the exclusive Mace Windu minifigure. Unfortunately the sticker sheet was very bent in the box for my set – I wish LEGO would find a way to better protect the stickers.
CLONE FIGHTER TANK 2017 MANUAL
Inside are three bags numbered 1 and 2, plus an instruction manual with the old-style cover (not the newer simplistic white design). This means you don’t have to destroy the box to open it – I wish this would be standard on more sets. Interestingly, despite being a relatively small set, the box uses tape instead of thumb tabs which is welcome.
The back of the box has an alternate view of the model and its play features. The front of the box shows the tank in action against a desert backdrop. Check out Vaderfan’s previous reviews, 75336 Inquisitor Transport Scythe, and 75333 Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter, and be sure to follow him on Instagram, or read some of his other guest reviews. This is a guest review from our resident LEGO Star Wars correspondent, vaderfan_2187. It is certainly a slightly strange choice of sets – a vehicle that has never appeared in a Star Wars movie, coupled with some non-canon Clone Trooper designs should make this a hard sell, but so far it seems this set has been pretty well-received! Well, is this set any good? Let’s find out! This unusual and unexpected set divided opinion, with some excited over the new clone designs while others expressed disappointment at the design of the tank itself. When images of 75342 Republic Fighter Tank were first released, they prompted a split reaction from LEGO fans.
