LEGO Star Wars 75431 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack review

How much is too much for a LEGO Star Wars battle pack? 75431 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack has the answer.

Maybe a more refined version of that question is: how expensive does a LEGO Star Wars battle pack need to be for the quality of the contents to no longer matter? Here are probably the best Clone Troopers we’ve seen in years, two relatively decent battle pack vehicles and a few token Super Battle Droids, all at a price nobody should ever consider paying.

If there’s a single word that sums up the approach to 75431 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack’s pricing, it’s ‘cynical’. The LEGO Group has clearly identified that there’s a market for Clone Trooper minifigures over the past few years, and by releasing this set at £35 / $45 / €40 it’s now seeing just how much juice it can squeeze from those collectors.

That’s a shame for two reasons: first, it creates an openly hostile environment for this set (and a couple of its similarly-overpriced contemporaries in the LEGO Star Wars summer 2025 wave) to launch in; and second, it completely overshadows what is otherwise a genuinely good battle pack. But at this price, it’s difficult to even reconcile that term with what’s on offer.

Battle packs are by definition designed to be bought in multiple quantities, but consider for a moment that two copies of 75431 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack costs £70 / $90 / €80. Pick up a third and you’re already into triple figures. Nothing about the pricing of this set is designed for army building – but the contents genuinely are.

The stars of the show are obviously the four 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers, returning to the LEGO line-up for the first time since 2007’s 7655 Clone Troopers Battle Pack (which also includes four Clone Trooper minifigures and retailed for just £8.99). From the refined printing to the brand new hard plastic pauldron element, these guys are the best Clone Troopers we’ve seen since the LEGO Group overhauled their design in 2020.

They’re identical save for their accessories too, with a range of weapons, a couple of the new rangefinder pieces (introduced in 75409 Jango Fett’s Starship) and a pair of standard binoculars included. Getting four of the same trooper is basically the ideal scenario for a battle pack, with Commander Bly smartly saved for 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT.

Also in the mix are three Super Battle Droids, which were a novelty in 2024’s 75372 Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack having returned to shelves after a nine-year absence, but already feel a bit like old hat here. Some variety would have been nice – the jungle-themed Battle Droids we saw in 2020’s 75283 Armored Assault Tank (AAT), for example.

If anything, you might have expected those in addition to the B2s given the price tag, not least because the aforementioned 75372 does include four Clone Troopers, three B2s and two B1s – and all for £10 / $15 / €10 less than 75431 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack at retail. The price increase here just doesn’t make sense beyond the LEGO Group’s dedication to cynically bleeding us all dry.

That’s felt too in the vehicles, which are probably the best you’ll find in a battle pack (though that’s not what this set is, remember), but which are both overshadowed by the price tag. It doesn’t help either that we’ve seen plenty of AT-RTs and Dwarf Spider Droids over the years, so while they’re the best versions yet they still feel pretty stale in the wider LEGO Star Wars line-up.

The AT-RT in particular comes down nicely in size from the massive version seen in 2020’s 75280 501st Legion Clone Troopers, and while it’s still a little too big for minifigure scale – and still can't really stand in any kind of walking pose – it does feel more appropriate. Of course, its more diminutive size does then make this feel even worse value for money…

That’s a consequence too of this set’s 258 pieces all being pretty small, which makes for a pair of quite fiddly builds that don’t command too much real estate when all’s said and done. The overall package here feels even slimmer than in 75372 Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack, despite including 53 more pieces, so once again we’re back to grumbling about that price tag.

But what else can we do? This is a set that does nothing to justify its ridiculous fee, and shouldn’t be on anyone’s radar until it’s at least 30% off. But even then, that would only bring it down to 75372 Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack’s RRP in the UK – and that set has regularly been available for at least 30% off since launch.

75431 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack would need to drop to 50% off to match that value, and at £17.49 would be an easy recommendation to horde in multiples. At £24.99, one or two would have been reasonable to pick up on day one. At £34.99, this is one to leave on the shelf on August 1.

Our honest opinion: A genuinely good LEGO Star Wars battle pack completely overshadowed by a laughable, cynical price tag.
