Building the Grand Army: Best LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs for Clone Troopers
For the Republic!
If you are a LEGO Star Wars fan, you know the golden rule: One Clone Trooper is never enough.
"Army Building" is a huge part of the hobby. We don't just want one set; we want rows of white armor lined up, ready to defend the shelf against the Separatists. But with so many different legions and packs released, which ones give you the best bang for your buck?
Whether you are looking to expand your 501st Legion or just need more "shinies" (standard white troopers), here are the best Battle Packs available right now to grow your Grand Army of the Republic.
1. The Heavy Hitter: Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack (75372)
Watch those Wrist Rockets! This pack marks the return of the Super Battle Droid, making it an essential army builder for Clone Wars fans.
This is widely considered the best battle pack in years. Why? Because it brings back the Super Battle Droids (B2)!
Fans have been waiting a long time for these bulky droids to return. This set is perfectly balanced: you get 4 Clones (including a Shock Trooper) and 5 Droids (including 3 Super Battle Droids). It’s an instant battle in a box. The buildable Tri-Droid is also surprisingly large, adding great height to a diorama.
- Why buy multiples: To amass a huge army of Super Battle Droids and Shock Troopers.
- Minifigures: 4 Clones, 5 Droids.
- Pieces: 215
2. The Specialists: 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack (75345)
Anakin's Finest: Diversify your 501st Legion with specialized units including a Sniper, Heavy Trooper, and Officer.
The 501st Legion (Anakin’s troops) is the most popular faction for army builders. But you can't just have regular soldiers; you need specialists.
This pack is essential because it gives you specific classes: a 501st Officer, a Clone Specialist (sniper), and two Heavy Troopers. The macrobinoculars and heavy accessories make these figures look elite. If you already own the older 501st sets, this is the mandatory upgrade to diversify your ranks.
- Why buy multiples: To create specialized squads (Sniper teams, Heavy weapons teams).
- Minifigures: 4 Clones.
- Pieces: 119
3. The Siege of Mandalore: 332nd Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper (75359)
For Ahsoka: This pack includes Captain Vaughn and features the distinctive orange-painted helmets from the Siege of Mandalore.
Recognize those orange helmet markings? These are the troops loyal to Ahsoka Tano during the Siege of Mandalore.
This set is unique because it includes Captain Vaughn (with a special visor) and three 332nd Troopers. While the blue swamp speeder build is a bit simple, we all know we are here for the minifigures. The orange and blue color scheme pops beautifully next to the standard 501st blue.
- Why buy multiples: To build a specific platoon dedicated to Ahsoka Tano.
- Minifigures: 4 Clones (including Captain Vaughn).
- Pieces: 108
4. The Heavy Support: AT-TE Walker (75337)
The Ultimate Army Leader: This massive walker comes with the legendary Commander Cody and the 212th Legion to lead your troops.
Okay, this isn't technically a "Battle Pack," but every army needs heavy armor. If you have 50 troops on the ground, they need a tank to protect them.
The AT-TE is the ultimate Clone Wars vehicle. It is massive, has a carrying handle (very useful!), and most importantly, it comes with the legendary Commander Cody and the 212th Legion troopers (the orange ones). This is the centerpiece that leads your army into battle.
- Why buy it: To lead your battle packs and get the exclusive Commander Cody.
- Minifigures: 5 Clones (plus 3 Battle Droids).
- Pieces: 1,082
