About this deal

There is so much wrong with that statement that I don't even know what part to start correcting first." Illustrated instructions – A step-by-step guide is included so even young Star Wars™ fans who are newcomers to LEGO® sets can build with confidence. 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. 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

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 Quite some of the fans that are complaining about the figs in this set are the exact same ones who have been asking for more clone unit minifigures? LEGO has absolutely delivered, and I think even though the tank looks overly disappointing, the minifigures are great.

Details

Surely simply knowing the information and being able to notice references that others cannot is good enough, or do you need that surefire satifaction from making someone look as if they are an idiot. 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. Also ( at least in terms of production) they are much cheaper for Lego to make, no printing or complex parts ( complex as in how minifig Torsos and legs have moving parts but as still one part). 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. 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…

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. Dual-molding takes at least as much time for one shot as regular parts do for two, if you want crisp divisions like arms and legs. For stuff with a marbled look, like the original Bohrok faceplate, they inject all of the colors simultaneously, so no waiting for one color to cool before you can swap mold sections and inject the next color. Ever since 1958, LEGO® components have met stringent industry standards to ensure that they are compatible and connect consistently for robust builds. 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.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. " Also includes 2 187th Legion LEGO Star Wars Clone Troopers minifigures and 2 Battle Droid figures, each with blasters Includes 6 LEGO Star Wars minifigures: Mace Windu with a lightsaber, 187th Legion Clone Commander with a blaster rifle, and more 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. 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."

Except for the mid-section of their boots, of course, which would cover that bit of minifigure legs that can seemingly never be printed on. Dual-moulded white and purple legs would have improved these characters massively (even if at a cost) – as is, their toe printing looks a bit naff, like they’re wearing little tap-dancing shoes. Still, beggars can’t be choosers. Who ever thought we’d get purple clones?Gift idea for ages 7 and up – This 262-piece building toy makes a fun Christmas gift, birthday present or surprise treat for creative kids who are into Star Wars: The Clone Wars. That would definitely be correct. Although Ponds had an unfortunate end at the hands of Baby Boba in Clone Wars. I was actually focusing on the naming convention for the 187 Commander, and why he might have been called Thunder, but I appreciate the reply nonetheless! This TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank model has hidden wheels for a hover effect, 2 elevating spring-loaded shooters, and a rear hatch I am disappointed, not by how bad this set might look on first glance, but by the people who are complaining about everything, even the minifigure selection, which might I add is superb in my opinion for 2022. Putting in 4 actual minifigures alongside 2 battle droids? LEGO could've took the cheap way out and have a similar selection as the 2017 tank: Mace Windu, one 187th trooper and 2 battle droids.
