About this deal

Choosing to depict the purple 187th Legion Clone Troopers is interesting though, given they have a canonical equivalent. I presume the brown colour was considered unappealing." Build, play and display – This buildable TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank model measures over 10 cm (4 in.) high, 20 cm (8 in.) long and 16 cm (6 in.) wide On an unrelated note IIRC the 187th trooper with the airborne helmet is the commander, I don't remember his name though. I'll look it up then edit this comment. The LEGO Group has been recreating iconic starships, vehicles, locations and characters from the Star Wars universe since 1999. LEGO Star Wars has become its most successful theme, with a wide variety of buildable models to excite people of all ages.

I believe the troopers appearing in Clone Wars S7 are supposed to be a branch of 91st Recon, like Lightning Squad, his unit during the Ryloth arc, as the armor color better matches. " Thinking of buying this awesome building toy as a gift for a Star Wars™ fan who is new to LEGO sets? No worries - step-by-step instructions are included to guide their fun, creative journey. This TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank model has hidden wheels for a hover effect, 2 elevating spring-loaded shooters, and a rear hatch

Details

What we actually need more of is Super Battle Droids (they haven’t been in a LEGO set since 2015!), but we’ll take these for the easy, throwaway addition that they are. Mainly because the star attraction is obviously the Clone Troopers, and they go a long way to filling out the Republic’s rainbow army – Star Wars is inherently silly, remember – with detailed printing from head to (literal) toes. Features a centre typebar that rises each time a letter key is pressed, linked to a carriage that moves across as you type, plus a platen roller that you can feed real paper into. Finally, from Volume 2, there’s Chapter 23-25. Mace appears without armor, but briefly flies his purple Ep3 starfighter. This might be the first instance of purple as his signature color, excluding the lightsaber blade, since his Ep2 starfighter was fairly generic ( 7868). Most of the clones he fights alongside are in basic white, and don’t seem to be assigned to him. What few unit markings I can see look like blue or red ARC Troopers. By the time December 2022 rolls around, and we’re thinking about how to celebrate the year just gone (in LEGO), remind us to put together a list on ‘the most random and unexpected minifigure line-ups’. It’s a niche category, for sure, but one that 75342 Republic Fighter Tank is likely to top. LEGO® minifigures/figures for role play – Mace Windu with a lightsaber, 187th Legion Clone Commander with a blaster rifle, plus 2 187th Legion Clone Troopers and 2 Battle Droids, each with blasters

PurpleDave - The Clone Troopers with brown markings originate from the modern Clone Wars series, rather than the Tartakovsky series."Taken in isolation, though, does this set feel like it’s worth the dosh? On the whole, yes: it’s a pretty beefy (if brief) build, and there can really be no complaints about those minifigures. The larger elements probably have something to do with it, too… Regardless, I have no issue with LEGO producing Legends sets or minifigures. In fact, there are myriad subjects I would love to see, notably including the Ebon Hawk to accompany the upcoming Knights of the Old Republic remake.
