This is an incredible unique – and arguably un-recognisable – variation of a clone trooper which appears in Revenge of the Sith, and is a figure which I thought we’d never see LEGO attempt to create, so it is awesome that this set brought it into the line.īoth the Clone Trooper Gunner, and the original Clone Trooper, look fantastic when paired with Firestar Toys custom-printed Clone Trooper arms, which you can find here.Ģ015 was a fantastic year for fans of Clone Troopers – bringing an incredible battle pack which has continued to have massive appeal for fans years after its initial releases. I also appreciate the additional detailing for the torso print here – representing the character with the additional shoulder-style armour piece which he does utilise in-universe. Whilst he utilises the same helmet mould as the standard Phase II Clone Trooper, he includes additional printing on the helmet to represent the additional extremities that the helmet features within the Star Wars universe. Modelled on a design for the Republic Fighter Tank which was made popular in the original series of Battlefront games, this rendition of the tank incorporated a unique version of a LEGO Phase II Clone Trooper – the Clone Trooper Gunner. Whilst I appreciate the breadth and depth of unique Clone Troopers that we now have in our collections, I would appreciate getting my hands on the original Phase II trooper in larger quantities soon.
Interestingly, beyond the Advent Calendar set which came out at the end of that year, this Clone Trooper has not seen any additional releases – with LEGO instead focussing on giving us unique colours for the Clone Troopers whom have been released. When this set released it retailed for around £10 here in the United Kingdom, and was in high-demand due to the easily-amassable nature of the Clone Trooper included. Released in 2014, 75028 Clone Turbo Tank is one of the few ways that LEGO fans can get their hands on the modern LEGO Phase II Clone Trooper in his default white armour, without any specialist markings or details. I’ve decided to go back to basics – and in today’s blog post, we will look through some of the other LEGO sets which have included LEGO Phase II Clone Troopers, so you can get an idea of some of the other unique troopers which are out there to compliment your new 501 st Legion. Now our brand-new team member, Josh Wright, has already written a fantastic write-up on this pack. The 501 st legion are some of the most popular Clone Troopers within the franchise, and are incredibly prominent within my favourite sub-product from Star Wars, The Clone Wars television show. It’s safe to say that as a Star Wars fan, LEGO’s recent announcement on their 501 st Legion pack was something which got me incredibly excited.
