Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (3)

Pong Krell

Clone Trooper Pilot, 501st Legion (Phase 2) - Large Eyes

Clone Trooper, 501st Legion (Phase 2) - Blue Arms, Large Eyes

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Clone Pilot helmet
New helmet design variant as stated in the set description: 'Collect a never-before-featured Clone Pilot helmet'
Technic rocket launcher mechanism
Featured firing mechanic with pull-trigger design. Reviewer notes 'For the fireing you must pull the little black technic piece and the launcher turn down and shoot. It is perfect for destroying ground units because it fires a little bit down.'
New dark red bricks
The set uses a significant quantity of new dark red bricks, which are known to have had shattering issues in previous years. The reviewer experienced one 1×1 nosecone brick shatter during assembly. Secondary market buyers should be aware of potential brittleness.
Turbine bricks for engines
The layering technique using turbine bricks to assemble the engines is praised as an effective and visually appealing build technique.
