About this deal

Its contents are great and wonderfully effective for really how simple they are, but there’s no getting around the fact that 40558 Clone Trooper Command Station represents yet another step down in value for LEGO Star Wars as a theme. Every few years this happens, it always stings, and the compromise always feels like it’s on the consumer’s side. The builds themselves are fine, though I wouldn’t recommend running out to buy the set just for them. It seems that the LEGO Group is actually listening to builders in some capacity and giving us what we want, which in this case is the Clone Troopers. It would have been amazing to see three of the standard white versions inclusions, though I am sure some will appreciate being able to get the Clone Commander at an affordable price point. This LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Command Station (40558) lets kids ages 6 and up create their own exciting action setpieces with the Clone Troopers. The command station features flip-up ramps and a stand for 2 blaster rifles to let kids visualise various unique scenarios within the beloved sci-fi universe. The 3 LEGO mini-figures - a Clone Commander and 2 Clone Troopers - invite exciting role-playing opportunities with their unique equipment. The Clone Commander has a blaster pistol and the two Clone Troopers are each equipped with a now-iconic blaster rifle that many fans will surely recognise at a glance.

Minifigures: x2 Republic Trooper (two head variations), Sith Trooper (two variations) (4 figures total) Minifigures: x2 Airborne Clone Trooper (212th Battalion), x2 212th Battalion Trooper (4 figures total) However, the equivalent minifigure from 75019 AT-TE included a metallic silver visor, which appears more faithful to the movie. I would also question supplying a commander rather than another officer, since collecting several of these minifigures is perhaps less useful than a Clone Trooper sergeant or captain, which populate the Grand Army of the Republic in much greater numbers.The Battle on Saleucami set recreates a Clone Wars battle between the Republic Clone Troopers and Separatist Battle Droids! The included BARC Trooper minifigure pilots the BARC speeder, which features a spring-loaded shooter. A battle droid may pilot the buildable STAP. Other battle droids and super battle droids may emerge from the droid defense station. Speeder measures about 5 inches long. 17. Utapau Troopers 75036

Clone Troopers provide inherent army-building potential and 40558 Clone Trooper Command Station satisfies that potential to some extent, although perhaps not completely. An opportunity to collect standard Clone Troopers is fantastic and the minifigures are appealing, but introducing a more accurate torso would have elevated their charm further. What should have been a great army-builder, though, is nothing of the sort due to the high price and the poor overall choice of minifigures. And for that, 40558 Clone Trooper Command Station feels like a missed opportunity more than something innovative. The Senate Commando Trooper set includes 3 Senate Commando minifigures and a 1 Senate Commando Captain minifigure to lead them. All four of the elite and highly trained commandos come equipped with stud-launching mini blasters. Buildable rapid shooter assembly seats 1 minifigure, features a rotating base and launches a series of six studs in rapid succession. Set includes extra stud ‘ammo’ as well. Rapid shooter assembly measures approximately 3 in x 3 in x 3. 20. Shadow Troopers 75079 Hoth Rebel Trooper LEGO® minifigures – Each trooper has a blaster rifle for roleplay. Give this 64-piece building toy to kids aged 6 and up as a holiday or birthday giftMinifigures: x3 Inferno Squad Agent (three head variations), x1 Inferno Squad Commander Iden Versio (4 figures total) Everything will be going up in price in 2022. I have a feeling the same conversation happening in this comments section will be happening in many, many more comments sections to come." Liberal use of control consoles further distinguishes this creation from its predecessor, as two additional 1x2 slopes are placed alongside two printed 1x2 tiles inside. Once again, I think the green-tinted consoles seem out of place, but few alternatives are available. The communication equipment looks perfect though, while the access ramps are adjustable for different terrains. LEGO® minifigures for roleplay – Clone Commander with a blaster pistol and 2 Clone Troopers, each with a blaster rifle. This 66-piece building toy is for ages 6 and up Minifigures: x3 Resistance Trooper (three different head variations), x1 Resistance Officer (4 figures total)

Minifigures: x2 Bomb Squad Clone Troopers (orange markings), x1 Clone Commander (sand green markings), x1 ARF Clone Trooper (4 figures total) The Kashyyyk Troopers set includes two 41st Elite Corps Trooper minifigures (camouflage pattern) and two 41st Kashyyyk Clone Trooper minifigures (camouflage pattern). Also includes stud-launching mini blasters. Buildable, one-seat swamp speeder features rotating engine and clips that may hold up to two stud-launching mini blasters. Speeder measures 2 inches x 3 inches x 2 inches. 15. Death Star Troopers 75034 It's kind of always been that way though, right? Growing up in the 80s, we couldn't afford much LEGO. I had a few small sets and maybe one "big" (250+ piece) one. Whereas my "friend" (I never really liked him, heh) whose mom was a doctor and whose dad was a lawyer had a room full of LEGO sets. It's always been sort of an upper-middle class status brand, at least in my experience." In either case, plain white clone or the yellow-clad commander, both of the trooper variants in the set have some really great printing. It’s always nice to see details carried over to the legs, and this assortment Republic garrison certainly delivers on that front.The command centre has previously appeared in 75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas and the newer example is even smaller than its predecessor, as demonstrated below. However, the aforementioned shape is arguably improved and the play value remains consistent as well, since the design from 2013 also provided room for one minifigure. Minifigures: x4 Rebel Trooper (four variations: Private Calfor, Corporal Rostok, Private Kappehl, Corporal Tonc) (4 figures total) I don't think LEGO has ever been cheap, but I remember there was a time where it didn't feel like LEGO wanted to draw attention to the fact that it wasn't cheap. Like it was expensive, sure, but the price was more nature of the business rather than like someone calculated how to squeeze as much from a customer as possible. Minifigures: x2 Geonosis Clone Trooper (Airborne Clone Trooper Helmet), x2 Geonosis Clone Trooper (4 figures total)
