A Quality Product - But Beware the Droids!
I picked this up a few weeks back and have since started work on sourcing a full range of both the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War ranges of Legion models. I actually got into both the Legion and Armada product lines whilst on the hunt for prospective miniatures to use in an Edge of Empire RPG game I'm looking to run with my social group when we finally manage to escape lockdown!Overall I've found that this is very well put together core box. For me the quality of the materials is key part of any game, primarily due to the high use that they can get if they're popular with the group. Suffice to say that this is no exception, the tokens, cards and rulebook feel like they should wear well with continued use and I love the artwork.I really like the models in the entire Legion range, not just this core box. Similar sort of build quality to the likes of Game Workshop, with a nice level of detail and solid build feel. This is also one of those ranges that I can see myself painting up all nice and fancy. They just look and feel like they're going to be an easy paint job!There are only two things I would raise.The first is to beware the droid models when putting them together! I'm used to taking apart flimsy bits and pieces from sprues over the years, but I suspect the droids are all very easy to break for the uninitiated, so be sure to take care when getting them off the sprues, I would suggest a good pair of clippers and/or a sharp crafting knife (I almost snapped the end of a blaster rifle whilst using a crafting blade but was luckily able to salvage it with a smidgen of super glue). Oh you will need to get super glue for this...My second point would be that it would be a little easier if the General Grievous model had individual blueprints for putting it together. There are several variant builds/poses for General Grievous, but (presumably to save space in printing) they've only used a single visual instruction of the model with all parts for all the variants shown, definitely threw me off for a bit trying to work out whether one or two parts were meant to be included or not!Apart from those two points it's a good little starter set and I look forward to dual using it for both Legion games and to supplement some RPG gaming. I only wish more of these came with foam to protect the models once their built...

Excellent models though battledroids can be fiddly to assemble
Excellent product, very good value. Just be aware that the clone troopers only have 5 or 6 parts to put together and can be built in minutes, the battledroids have more parts, smaller locating lugs and will take considerably longer. They can also be quite fiddly to handle whilst doing so. But persevere and you will be rewarded with some really good little models. May also be a little less rugged than the clones due to difference in material/construction if not handled more carefully - but i have had no disasters yet.

For the Republic!
Easy to build. Good detail on hard plastic over the soft type used previously. A lot of fun to paint and can't wait to deploy these Phase 2 Clonetroopers. For the Republic!Recommended white primer and then a thinned oil wash. From there use whatever Clone Legion markings you want

Great for getting in to the hobby as a first set
I bought these as my first set before buying the core set of Star Wars Legion. It's a lot cheaper than buying the big box which is quite pricey, to find out you're not a fan of painting miniatures. These are very well detailed, and as you can see in the picture, easy to prime. I'm no expert but using this simple set of 4 figures to practice before jumping on the main sets and game, it's perfect.As for the people already in to the hobby, it's a nice little set that will boost your armies towards the dark side of the force.

100% movie accurate. But pricey.
This is an excellent product, can't wait to paint it, scale wise I think it's 1/48 . I brought this solely for the model. The only downside is the price fantasy flight games is charging for these star wars legion models, but I had to have it.
