New Lego Star Wars Battle Packs
Pros:The set is easy to build and quite fun. I like that most of the weapons are different. It is a good value and you can even get several of this set, change which character isn't wearing a helmet, and you can have a small army!Cons: (Warning, nerd rage ahead, lol)Each character should have a helmet, hair, and different facial expressions.

It would also be better if each character could fit on the vehicle, especially since it is, as far as I can tell, a vehicle LEGO invented for this set. With some modification you can have each character standing on the vehicle (pictured below).As for the nerd rage: the video game and book go into detail about each character, so it's disappointing the set doesn't specify which character is represented by each figure. The leader, Iden Versio, is supposed to have a droid and many even consider the droid to be part of the squad. I made one out of spare parts from this and other builds; it's not great but it is pictured below. The other characters, one of whom is supposed to be female, remove their helmets frequently during the game, making hair and different facial expressions an even more sensible option. Another disappointing detail: one of the LEGO heads is actually just a Jango Fett clone head.Conclusion:A solid buy, but a little more thought and detail would have made this much more enjoyable to people familiar with the game and book; those are the people I assume are the targeted customers.
My build, which includes some modifications, is pictured below. As a Battlefront fan I was sad that there was no Battlefront 2 sets like there were when the 2015 game came out. (Rebel and Imperial Battle Packs) I am very thankful that Lego has decided to give us an Inferno Squad battle pack. Having Iden, Del and Hask as Lego minifigures is amazing.Pros:.Great Minifigures.New Helmets.Iden's Hair Piece (first time since Padme had it).Different Faces to represent each characterfrom the game/bookCons:.The angry clone face for the 4th inferno squadmember (the female from the Novel, aStorm trooper or Shrivminifigure would have been better).The build is not for collectors but works well as aplay feature.Stud shooters.No Helmet for Iden Read more. The inferno squad is by far the only good thing that came from battlefront 2.

Their story is captivating and shows not every imperial soldier believed in the cause. This set is exactly what you think. Its every member of that elite squad of stormtrooper special forces. The minifigures have great detail and they set themselves apart from the rest of the imperial army with their red markings.
The speeder bike is also another great inclusion that can be used for display or play very easily. The only minor complaint i have for this set is that Iden has no helmet to wear and the others dont have their hair for when you take their helmets off. I know Iden is the main character in the game but the others were just as important and they all had completely different identities from the others.
It just wouldve been nice to have helmets and hair for all of them. Other than that one minor gripe. This is one of the best battlepacks ive seen since the clone wars.
