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). 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."

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. 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. 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. 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. " This minifigure selection seems somewhat surprising, since the purple-armoured troopers originate from Star Wars Legends."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.

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! Next is Chapter 12-13, where Mace is unchanged, but his many troops start out wearing basic white, and are completely red by the end of the battle. I don’t think any of them ever got to wear unit markings. Also includes 2 187th Legion LEGO Star Wars Clone Troopers minifigures and 2 Battle Droid figures, each with blasters 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. 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.The LEGO Group’s third take on a vehicle we’ve only ever seen in video games – we’re as surprised as you – also represents its third different scale, sitting somewhere in the middle of the last two. And by and large, that makes it not too big, not too small, but basically just right – at least as an adaptation of the TX-130 as seen in EA’s original Battlefront games from the early ‘00s, rather than the more modern version from the late ‘10s. You know, just in case this source material wasn’t niche enough for you.

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.This TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank model has hidden wheels for a hover effect, 2 elevating spring-loaded shooters, and a rear hatch 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. 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. The TX-130 does originate from Star Wars Legends, but joined the modern canon when the vehicle appeared in Star Wars Battlefront II. Also, I am not really into legends as I think that Canon is more worthwhile to know in terms of actual star wars geekiness. XD"
