A perfect intro to Legos
I gave this to my son for his 7th birthday. I'd previously given him a couple of harder kits, and while he tried very hard to put those together by himself, he eventually became frustrated and needed help. He put this kit together completely by himself in less than an hour, and you could literally see the pride in his face. He immediately started begging for the matching Star Wars droid kit. Over a week later, he's still playing with and rebuilding this set nearly every day.

35 Year Old Dad Having Great Fun!!!
My son just picked this Star Wars lego set up from his birthday. For 15 bucks at the local toy store, what a bargain. A few regular action figures would have cost the same, but with the lego set my 5 year old son learns to assemble things, gets a speeder and turret in addition to the Republic troopers--too cool! We're having a great time.

Battle packs rule!
My 7 year old son loves his Legos star wars kits. He's got a bunch and the battle packs mate well for scenario play with them. Legos has been promoting the battle packs in the Legos club magazine so the odds your your kid already knows about the battle packs and wants them. No matter what Star Wars Legos kits s/he has this will augment it.

The Battle Packs are worthwhile as stand alone toys too - especially for travel. The trouble with the big Legos kits for take along play is that they tend to break up in pieces during play and a lost piece is a disaster. The Battle Packs are small and simple (and cheap). These can go with you. They are the correct size for making an airline seat back a battlefield. Heartily recommended.

fun very durable
very good toy I bote this at a local target and with a droids battle pack I have a revew on that to very durable and is probaly my best lego I have!

Great toy, and not hard to assemble
This is one of Lego's smaller add-on packs to a Star Wars collection that can be used as a stand-alone product, too. Small, fun and it helps build up your clone, or stormtrooper, army. My seven year-old loves to build this, or take it apart and add the pieces to other sets. Also, we use the clone troopers and the stormtroopers interchangably. Overall, this is a great toy. Highly recommended.
