Description

Figures take centre stage, not a vehicle

Unlike many other Star Wars sets, this one doesn't build up around a single large vehicle but instead gathers a whole squad of clone trooper minifigures. The 285 pieces go mostly into armour pieces, weapons and small accessories rather than one central build. With 114 unique elements, the set produces detailed gear for several figures at once, ideal for anyone who values troop numbers over a centrepiece model. That focus makes the set especially appealing to collectors looking to grow a clone trooper army.

Colours: light grey, dark grey, blue and black

Light grey and dark grey recreate the classic clone trooper armour familiar from the prequel films, while blue serves as the specific marking colour of the 501st Legion. Black rounds out the scheme on weapons and technical details. This colour combination makes the unit identifiable at a glance and sets these figures apart from clone troopers belonging to other legions with different marking colours. The exact colour breakdown across all 114 elements is listed in detail in the parts list on this page.

Six minifigures for a small army

With six minifigures, this set counts among the more figure-heavy Star Wars sets and works well for reinforcing an existing clone trooper collection. The matching gear across all six figures creates a cohesive look when several troops are displayed together. For fans wanting to stage larger battle scenes, the high figure count offers far more options than a set with only one or two minifigures. Paired with vehicle sets, the scene can be expanded with starfighters or ground vehicles.

Size and who it suits

At 285 pieces across six figures, the build stays manageable and suits a quick building session. The set is aimed mainly at fans who already own one or more Star Wars vehicles and now want to grow their figure collection specifically. Without a large vehicle of its own, it's best combined with other sets from the same era. The full parts list on this page shows exactly which shapes and colours are included before buying.
