LEGO Star Wars set 75280, “501st Legion Clone Troopers”, represents clone troopers from the 501st Legion in the Star Wars universe. Released in 2020, it contains 285 pieces and belongs to the root Star Wars theme.
Set 75280 is part of the LEGO Star Wars range and focuses on the 501st Legion, a recognizable clone trooper unit within the license. Its subject is a compact battle scene, placing clone forces alongside a droid opponent to give the build a clear Star Wars context.
