Synthesized Verdict

"One of the most celebrated Star Wars battle packs in the Micro Fighters era, the Utapau Troopers set delivers four exclusive Phase II clones headlined by the new-mold Airborne trooper at a price reviewers almost unanimously called a steal. Ninety-six percent of real buyers would recommend it."

The Utapau Troopers battle pack earns a BrickScore of 69.7 and earns its Highly Recommended tier on the strength of its four exclusive Phase II clone troopers, with reviewers calling it one of the best battle packs in years. The 212th Airborne troopers with their brand-new helmet mold and cloth kama piece were universally singled out as standout elements. Real buyers back that enthusiasm hard: 58 owner ratings average 4.54 out of 5, with 96% recommending the set and a value-for-money signal of 4.31.

Ecosystem

Previous 2014 battle packs in the wave — The 75036 is 'definitely the number one battle pack that I'm going to recommend by far' and 'definitely the best battle pack of this wave.'

Old Clone Trooper Battle Packs from 2009-2010 — Significant improvement with new minifigure designs and fabric waist capes that allow better articulation. Reviewer notes 'I've been waiting for a Battle Pack like this to come back for a while now it's been a good 3 four years.'
