LEGO Star Wars 75412 Death Trooper & Night Trooper Battle Pack review

75412 Death Trooper & Night Trooper Battle Pack ticks a lot of boxes, but remains not the most interesting LEGO Star Wars battle pack.

There are a fair few different types of battle packs – some with an excellent line-up of highly-desirable and wholly collectible minifigures, some with minifigures you only want one of, others with excellently-conceived builds to go along with the included characters, and then, some like 75412 Death Trooper & Night Trooper Battle Pack, that have a more niche appeal that somewhat limits their appeal.

Based on the undead Stromtroopers – known as Night Troopers – and Death Troopers seen in Ahsoka Season 1 and presumably for what we’ll see more of in Season 2 of the show, 75412 Death Trooper & Night Trooper Battle Pack includes a line-up of four of these characters. They are excellently designed to mimic what we see on Disney Plus, including a return (and new print) of the Death Trooper helmet and a new colour for the current (and ugliest ever) Stormtrooper helmet.

Each minifigure has the same undead trooper head print underneath, and each comes with a blaster too. The two Night Troopers have different torso prints to each other, whilst the Death Troopers are identical to each other.

As a quartet it is a worthy selection to make a battle pack, and certainly has the same potential for collecting multiple copies of to build up your undead Stormtrooper army with. We’re not 100% sure how popular, though, this pack will be in comparison to previous battle packs we’ve had, or that we could have had instead of this.

It’s based on a deviation of an iconic character design that appears in a show that still has a way to go to pull in the majority Star Wars audience. And in the meantime, in this awkward spot between the two seasons of the show, this set sits somewhat unpredictably. Perhaps when the next season of Ahsoka comes out this will make sense and jump up in appeal to a lot more of us, assuming it’s still on shelves by then (they are only just starting filming Season 2 this May).

We can’t tell you what the little black bus they are riding around in is based on, but whatever concept art or rough direction was given to the LEGO Star Wars design team it can’t have been too inspiring or flexible. The build is boxy and, whilst it does a job in ably transporting all the included minifigures and in a compact way, it’s not the prettiest model to put together or swoosh around.
