Lego Star Wars First Order Specialists Battle Pack (75197) Review

Today, I am going to be reviewing the First Order Specialists Battle Pack (75197) which was released on January 1, 2018. The set includes 4 minifigures: 2 First Order Executioners, a First Order Shuttle Pilot, and a First Order Gunner. The set retails for $14.99 and include 108 pieces. The set is great and features some exclusive minifigures which I think any Lego collector would want their hands on.

The Build
The build's inaccuracy was expected, escpecially in a battle pack. But there is not much to say because it is a battle pack and it is only usually bought for the minifigures. The build is nice and comes with some great pieces that will boost your building techniques and piece collection. Again, there is not a lot to say on the build.

 The Minifigures
The long anticipated First Order Executioners have arrived and I must say that they are all I hoped for and more. The helmets have the nice black line across the side which gives the trooper a great overall appearance. Another addition is the black arms which actually could have been dual molded to give it a more accurate rendition from the Executioner in The Last Jedi. The helmet vents are skinnier than the previous first order stormtroopers though which I like and don't like at the same time. I like it because it makes the trooper look some much better and accurate, but I don't like it because it is one the of the troopers to have the different vent and it just doesn't look right next to all the other stormtroopers. Overall, the figure is great and the upside is that you get 2.

The next minifigure on the list is the First Order Shuttle Pilot. This figure was exclusive to the First Order Star Destroyer, but has now been released in this battle pack which is nice. The figure sports a new helmet, which is similar to the First Order Gunner's helmet, but open. There is a simple printing on both front and back of the torso. The legs are plain black though. The head is the regular Star Wars flesh head with the headset on.

The last figure is the First Order Gunner. The figure has appeared multiple times before and is the same as all of them. It is a nice figure to put in but I feel like Lego could have put in a different figure. The minifigure has the same printing as the shuttle pilot above and the lowered visor helmet. The legs are also the plain standard black.

Overall
The set is definitely a must buy, mostly for the minifigures. And at only $14.99, it may be worth picking a few.
