LEGO Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280) August 14th Launch In USA
©brickdance9
The LEGO Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280) has already launched in Singapore and pretty much the rest of the world but the United States were still waiting on the release date.
Target has listed the launch date for the LEGO Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280) as 14th August which is next week. I presume that Shop@home and the LEGO Brand Stores should follow suit.
I don’t think I will ever understand what goes on in those closed door meetings where LEGO decides when to launch their new products in the different market regions. Perhaps there were shipping challenges this time round.
Description

The posable AT-RT Walker and BARC Speeder construction models each have authentic blue and white 501st Legion color schemes, plus stud shooters for battle play.

Hi, any update on the Lego 601st clone troopers set? The release date of August 14 has come and gone and still no set. Lego’s website continues to say “coming soon” it’s a no-go at other retailers too.
*501st, sorry. I should proof before I post.
They should be available now or pretty soon. Been seeing them pop up around the States.
