So much like the Rebel Starter Set this one is also a fantastic deal. The numbers don’t lie. You’re saving over $175 with this set vs buying the units individually. Again, I know there were a few sidenotes to the pricing but I was trying to be as fair as possible.
While this box set is targeted at new players I think even veterans looking to expand their armies would be fine with the “extras” in here. Shoot, if you just wanted two boxes of Stormtroopers you’re already paying more for those than this box. That seems like a no brainer to me. But maybe you don’t need that many Stormtroopers. That’s fair as this is supposed to get your jump started on a new army. But shoot, I could see folks snagging this box and maybe some other support options and being ready to go.
Again, the nice part of these Starter Sets is that these are quite literally 600-Point Recon Level Armies ready to go. You just have to physically build the miniatures. And honestly, this is probably one of the easiest starter sets to build and paint. You’d be amazed as what you could do with some white primer and black ink wash here.
I really don’t have a whole lot more to add to this. The math is there. These are great miniatures. And if you’re looking for a fast way to get playing Star Wars: Legion, well it doesn’t really get much better than this one! The new starter set is up for pre-order and will be shipping out on September 19, 2025!
