Day 667, Quasi-Quarantine: Phenomenal Helmet Designs Carry The Day For Imperial Patrol Battle Pack


The Imperial Patrol Battle Pack (75207) arrived under the Christmas tree, and this underrated little set served as a nifty addition to the holiday season. 

Representing a scene from the "Solo" movie, this 99-piece build (now retired) brings a lot of punch for the $15 retail price. 

The speeder design is simple but elegant, with the ability to change wing orientations offering playability. With a minifigure seat, two stud shooters, and the flexibility to add troopers in clever ways, you can "play out Imperial law-enforcing scenarios" (according to Lego, anyway).

The set comes with four minifigures, a strong total for the price tag. The emigration officer and recruitment officer lend an institutional air, with a female officer a welcome addition to the Lego minifigure offerings.


The highlights are the two Imperial patrol troopers -- particularly the stellar helmet design. The unique printing and coloration are distinctive to "Solo," and the level of detail and clean look make the set worth it simply for these two minifigures.

As an unexpected and little-known battle pack, our building team was thrilled to add this set to ongoing and unfolding skirmishes -- hopefully rekindling some Lego interest along the way.
