Blue and white battle pack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is a huge Lego fan. He is especially fond of any Star Wars set. This 501st Clone Trooper set did not disappoint. 119 pieces and really simple to assemble. Says 6+ but I'd bet smart four year olds could build this set. Set includes four figures consisting of two heavy troopers, a Clone specialist, and one officer. The figures are posable and the blaster swivels. Of course the blaster fires with spring load action but only one projectile. These troopers are decked out in their blues and whites. Included are tons of weapons and accessories so this group is battle ready. May the Force be with you.

Missing what cheaper/older battle packs had
In this set we don’t get any cloth waist capes or ‘kamas’. No pauldrons and clone trooper light attachments for helmets. There’s only one build when older battle packs used to have 2-3. The rendering issue on the box art is a lazy mistake from Lego starwars design team. The new instructions design is lower quality, and lacking imagination and fun printing that the older sets had.
The price increase is not reflective of increase in quality from Lego. A company who’s founder’s Moto is “Only the Best is Good Enough”.
It’s good, but not good enough. I would expect more from a 10 billion dollar company with record sales for 2022, especially for the most popular theme that also saved the company from bankruptcy, many years ago.

Glaring mistakes and corners cut but good set
The set has some huge flaws, the advertising errors on the box and promotional material regarding the accessory on the officer is simply lazy. The lack of physical waist capes or shoulder pauldrons really stands out, especially when they are replaced by lame printing that only exists on the front of the figures. The build is great but the minifigures feel unfinished and rushed, which is a shame because this sets is otherwise amazing.

Just amazing !
I love it, as simple as that. As someone currently working on a Clone Wars diorama, this set is just right on point. I love the fact that when you buy multiple of this sets, the canons can be cleverly used on the battlefield as an intimidating defensive line. I think the minifgs are great. I have read the other reviews and some are talking about lame body printing, errors concerning helmet accuracy, lack of fabric shoulder pads. I personnaly don't really care about that, cause as I said, I am using these minifigs as part of a clone army in a Clone Wars diorama battlefield. So I don't really bother about the accuracy of some details. And what you get in this set for the price, just amazing ! 5 stars without a doubt :)

Bring back the fabric Kamas
This set is genuinely one of the top-5 Star Wars ever! While it isn't perfect, it is a very good set overall, and a good set to rack up some Clone Troopers. I hope Lego continues to make Clone Trooper battle packs with different legions, and even some plain phase 2 clones!
MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is that the officer doesn't have an actual fabric Kama, last seen on the Clone Airborne Trooper back in 2020. WHY? The leg printing on the Officer is horrible, if you're going to print the Kama on, make it go all the way around! We want the fabric Kama back!
My other complaint is that I wish we got a redesigned visor piece fir the Heavy Trooper, as well as Commander Cody from the AT-TE set since they share the same exact visor piece in the movie/show/games.
While the heavy trooper could've made use of dual-molded legs, it isn't as personally important to me as the fabric Kama and accurate visor piece.
The only other improvement I'd like to see among the Clones is more facial expressions. Some diversity in facial expressions, scars or facial hair. I just believe that would give the Clones more value going forward. It would be ideal to have a couple different expressions in the next clone battle pack!

Awesome set but just one thing
This set is amazing, the mini-figures are great but it’s just the officer and the range finder that’s not well secured on there and falls off easily but the build is great and I can see myself having lots of fun with this set in the future

Good set but could use some work
As someone who wants to expand my clone collection, as well as my star wars collection of course, this set is pretty good. The minifigure selection is nice, with the officer, specialist and heavy troopers, however for army building purposes I'd maybe replace the officer and one of the heavy troopers for regular 501st troopers. I'd also replace the turret for a speeder, as I personally feel it would suit the set better
