What's your recent LEGO Star Wars Purchase?

[BigJoe]

As for what I remember Shadow Guard is an elite special operations unit that does not fall into ordinary hierarchy. They had a specific task and took orders directly from the Emperor.

That's what i thought. i believe that they work closely with the shadow command? i could be wrong but doesn't it go Shadow Guard, Imperial Stormtrooper Commander, Shadow Command, and Shadow trooper? I know they are an elite force but even Omega or Delta Squad take commands from ARCs

[BrickSev]

Talking about recent purchases: I just finished the 75043 AT-AP (that was among my last purchase) and it's impressive. It's not very elegant but it's the "in-universe" vehicle to look like that but the set itself is truly impressive. Not to mention the fact it has a very interesting price per brick, uncommon among Star Wars sets. It also comes with two outstanding Minifigures (and three droids, including a Battle Droid Commander)

Commander Gree is perfect to lead the Kashyyyk Troopers and since they are currently one of the best options for building a Clone Army, it's nice to have someone to lead them in battle.

We don't have a lot of info on them but, thinking positive , this is a good things since it gives us a lot of freedom for our brick projects. Now that I think about it, it could nice to create a sort of "chain of comment" during army building. For example, in the Clone Army I'm building (about 120 clones and 40 vehicles: not very huge I know ) I have ARC Troopers leading squads. We could do the same with the Shadow Guards

Typo corrected.

I have Commander Gree, Cody, Captain Rex, Special Forces Commander, and 4 Sergeants. I usually put a Sergeant with each squad though I use Jek-14 as the main special Forces leader. Im thinking bout grabbing more of the packs that have normal leaders instead of SWCW leaders

The current packs have "standard clones" (most of the times) but you can still modify them. For example if you have 2 Commander Gree you can use his parts to assemble sergeants for the Kashyyyk Troopers. They will look different from both the "rank and file" and Gree himself (since you basically mixed his parts with the standard clones ones )

Another interesting thing (I'm thinking to do it) would be to use Old Republic Troopers as "Officers" or "Special Operations" Clones. Their armor is indeed very similar to Clone Troopers'. It's the "Republic design", after all

You have a point there with the OR troopers. I got 4 of those sets and have Jace Melcom as well. I love the armor plus i like to take their helmets and put thm on bomb squad/212th troopers as elite detachments once in a while. I will see if i can get some pictures of my Units online soon. maybe i can during break

I'd really like to see the pictures. I'm assembling my little Clone Army. Sadly I've been away from Lego hobby for a very long period so I only have about 120 Clones (not counting OR and few Stormtroopers and Imperial pilots) and about 40 vehicles. I know it's not huge but I still like it It has several very old Minifigures, like the first Clone Scout Trooper from 2005. He acts as the leader of the current Clone Scout Troopers from the battle pack.

I have to assemble few 75035 sets and then I'll take the photos. I also plan to buy Utapau Battle packs next time I order from Lego, so I should be able to add 40 more clones to the army

I am aslo considering getting 4 more of them and making another unit by customizing them. I might do black highlights in order to get a spec ops division

Ya im looking for the original clones and imperial troopers but cant find them

With original you mean the 2002 Phase I armor ones and the 2005 Phase II ones?

I have very few of them (those coming with the vehicles I bought) I customized them a little with electric tape (like I said before ) just to add some more details, especially in the legs and back

Yes. Yeah I have a friend with a bunch of them but he cant get his brother to sell. I made custom Marines as well out of Imperial snow troopers. with one made in to Snow Gree

I know in the USA there was the famous 100 Clone Trooper exclusive pack. It has always been a very rare sight in Europe, well at least where I live

I like the Marines armor. Let me know when you post the pictures of your clones

I will have you. ill prolly quote on your post so it shows up for you. and yeah that 100 clone thing is a contest and i cant find any

I'll look forward your Clone Army. That 100 Clones box is indeed very rare. You see very few of them around and they usually cost a lot.

Btw, about recent purchases: I just found another 75002 AT-RT. It was the last one in the shop. One more 501st Clone Trooper then

[duboismerci]

Recent purchase:

Coruscant police gunship

2 kashyyyk trooper bp

3 utapau trooper bp

For a total of 6 each.

A question for you guys building clone army: How is your army organised?

I for exemple make squad of 6 clones, platoon of 12 and battalion of 24 +1 general and 1 jedi general. I have 6 utapau bp so 1 platoon of airborne trooper and 1 platoon of 212 trooper + obi wan and commander cody (phase 1 because phase 2 doesnt exist) I have 6 kashyyyk bp so 1 platoon of scout trooper and one platoon of the phase 2 trooper +commander gree and yoda ( sadly I dont have a Luminara minifig)

[BrickieB]

Bought myself the death star (10188) - But I have to wait till tonight to get it :)

If you want to follow the actual in-universe organization:

Squad: 9 men lead by Sergeant and Corporal

Platoon: 4 Squad (36 Clones) led by Lieutenant

Company: 4 Platoons (144 units) led by Captain

Above company things for us collectors get a little difficult (so many Minifigures needed ) but here it goes

Battalion: 4 Companies (576 Clones) led by Battalion Commander and Major

Regiment: 4 Battalions (2304 units) led by Regimental Commander and Jedi Commander

Legion/Brigade: 4 Regiments ( 9216 units) led by Senior Commander and Jedi General

and so on ( the full list can be found here http://starwars.wiki...of_the_Republic )

EDIT: Typos corrected.

I am on a student budget so even the platoon is hard to get.

Do you try to follow the organisation? Or you picked an arbitrary number like I did?

I know "army building" is very hard to get.

Personally I'm still thinking about what type of organization to follow. Since I have several old clones who don't have the same armor/marks etc of the recent one I have still to decide where to put them. Namely if they will form a squad on their own or function as "veterans/ officers" for the new ones.

The "official" organization is not easy to follow. We can end having few more or less clones we don't know where ti put etc.

My suggestion is: keep buying the clones you want then when they reach a number you want to out into a "formation" choose the organization that fit betters the number of clones you have, so everyone has a place in the formation

Example: if you buy 5 Kashyyy Troopers Battle packs you have 10 Kashyyyk Clones and 10 41st Elite Clones. You could make 5 men squads, for example. If your army grows you can change it's organization.

I tend to put the two type of clones coming with Battle packs in different squads. In the above example I'd make 2 all Kashyyyk Clones and 2 all 41st Squads.

It's just an option. They are our armies and we can do everything we like

Indeed

That's what make lego great.Customizations!

[BrickSev]

Indeed and I'd say even more: it gives us the chance to create our own stories, our own universe

Nothing helps us telling our stories like Lego.

Good luck with your army and remember to post some photos. It does not matter if it's a small squad or an entire sector army, everything we make with our Lego is worth to be shared

I'm building a Clone Army too and as soon as I build the last Kashyyyk battle packs and gather all my vehicles together for a photo, I'll share it as well. Alongside a very small Droid army: mostly made with the droids I got in the sets I bought for the Clones. I'm not a huge fan of Separatist armies, I prefer clones

A couple of 75078s from TRU

[Alpinemaps]

Lucked into my first UCS X-Wing tonight at a Target. It was marked as an online return.

[DarthR2-D2]

I ordered 10236 Ewok Village last night on Amazon and I ought to get it this coming Friday. I'm super excited because this is my first set since the Wampa cave

[samurai-turtle]

I got 75054 AT-AT from Wal-Mart for $74. I am guessing it was clearance price (it was not marked any way in the store I got it from).

That's rather strange since it was released during the summer.

LEGO Catalog Augmented Reality.

Paper x Android/iOS.

Someone, please challenge to "look up the AT-AT from the feet."

Cut the AR recognition element of the catalog, and if you stick stuck in a transparent plate, can be realized?
