Here's a step by step guide to army building for fellow beginners and broke collectors who don't want to spend $1000s on plastic troopers.

On a real note, a good tip I have for everyone buying mass amounts of battlepack-like sets is to keep the extra parts and reach out to Bricklink stores to sell. Unless you want to keep all the pieces, you can offer bricklinkers the pieces of the set at a cost and then recoup some initial investment - or use that money to buy more.

The 501st legion of clone troopers evolves into the 501st legion of Imperial Stormtroopers aka “Vader’s Fist”. They are Darth Vader’s personal legion and whilst Clone numbers in the unit eventually got superseded by regular stormtrooper recruits there were Clones serving in the unit right up until the Battle of Hoth where the Vader’s Fist legion commanded by General Veers loaded into the ATATs on Hoth to invade the Rebel base there. This is why they are so revered. And if you wanna add more to your 501st Minifigure legion, next month the Lego Star Wars Magazine includes a matching 501st trooper in it. Note, I have one UCS ATAT filled up with a full compliment of Snowtrooper minifigures collected from the January edition of the Lego Star Wars Magazine and a couple of the battle packs (needed the speeders obvs) But I have another UCS ATAT manned entirely by 501st legion clone troopers.

Yep thats the joke…
I usually diversify my clone army, a bit of old and a bit new along with some in between. I don’t limit myself to only officially made LEGO clone trooper minifigures, I get custom printed or decaled clones from various businesses and individuals in the community.

I love the Battle Droid minifigures, too, except for how easily they fold over in the middle. I am happy for the two smaller minifigure packs Lego put out this year. Hope they make more of them.

@cutest creeper Bricklink has Grievous parts.
I have 7 clone troopers (I had like an army) until I quit for like 1 year then I came back just to see 1 captain 2 specialist (custom) and 4 geonesis troopers.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit I have 100 332nd troopers. . . . Almost. Seriously, though, I like the snark. Even if you're way into this hobby (like me), it's healthy and fun to remember that it's just a hobby and it's just a toy.

Thank you Holly! We are just starting to build our Army and this was helpful for us! We hope to share it soon!
the m&r simp joke really cracked me up🤣
I was in stitches this entire video lol Loved it.
so relatable, you know your deep in the lego addiction when you say you need rather than yo want.
I completely agree with you on wanting a huge army of battle droids! Also the kazoo music was a nice touch.
Really agree, minimal army building starts with 2. Then 3-4 is that ideal starter army that feels good for any grouping. It does then become another level of big when you go for a cool 501 501st troopers or a thousand.
Why didn't I take Lego class until now. Love droids myself, my dream is one of each.
Absolutely amazing video 👍🏻🤣🤣 you just made my day 🤪
It's okay, Holly. You don't have to watch a single episode of TCW to be a fan of Star Wars, or clone army building. In fact, it's healthier not to. I got a few of those 20th anniversary Imp dropships to army build the stormtroopers, but those will be hard to find now. If you want to get a small fleet of Tie fighters, there you go.
There's actually an issue i want to address. Being a young lego fan makes this harder. Not having an actual job to earn money for army building is tough. Constantly relying on your parents to reward you. In the past, i made the mistake of trying to build a droid army. The limbs broke overtime. Didn't mess with them or anything. Could have disassembled them but i was only 4 at the time. Didn't know any better :(

Great video. Really enjoyed it. Now I have an urge to go buy more battle packs😀
I picked most of my stuff up back in the mid 2010s. You could find clones for $2-3 a piece easily. At that point buying several hundred was still a fortune, but it ended up paying off
Holly: Swears Everyone: surprised pikachu face
Thanks I needed this
Absolutely hilarious video! I haven't laughed out loud at a KZread video this much in quite a while. As a Lego Star Wars fan without an army, I related to soooo much of what you were saying. I'm going to be strong and resist the peer pressure to start an army. I have a single 501st set, but don't plan on opening it - will probably sell it. Great content lately. Can't wait to see what else you come up with! Cheers :)

you are really funny! I enjoyed the video and your style of humor!
Even though I am not a clone army collector, this is so relatable.
Watching as I have 3 of the new 501st battle packs. I need more clones so this is helpful, lol!
I bought 1 battle Pack back in 2012 those with the bomb squad arc and rinho company and when i looked at youtube i saw a army even fucking bigger. And thats my storie how i became a lego star wars collector and lover
best clone army video in the lego community in my opinion.
That is actually the First of your Videos I watch and it is so cool! Makes me really happy as a German guy who loves Lego Star Wars to see an Australian young woman not just building a clone army, but giving me a lesson on how to do it. but lego is truly expensive over there and I already thought it was expensive in Germany. ;)
congratulations you hit 40 k subscribes well done Hollyonfilm
to complete the 501st legion, you would need 576 501st battle packs as according to wookiepedia the 501st was a brigade size legion.

army building is so fun
Me: haha how silly, collecting star wars clones for an army. I would never .... *AIM soldier collection sitting in the background*
So, I feel like I have gone over budget, owning 6 501st Battlepacks and I have opened 10 2020 Mando battlepack with a few still sealed - I think about 5. But they were 2 for £15 with them normally costing £13 so I had no choice but to take full advantage - this also happened over many months…
I've been making plans to buy 6 of these 501st battle pack over the year since I'm pretty sure they'll be retiring next year. Now you got my considering maybe I should buy more LOL
Love your refreshing (and quite humorous) take! I too am a huge Lego Star Wars fan, although definitely more for the OT/Prequel sets than anything else. Building Clone Armies is quite cool, but I don’t know if I’d trade owning a vintage AT-TE or Clone Turbo Tank set for 10 Battle packs. I guess I’m in the minority there....! 🙂
Fantastic Vid, really made me laugh.
I got into Star Wars in march of 2021 and I know every little thing about it now.
OK I NEED THOSE SETS
This video is hilarious 😂😂😂. Made me want to start buying battle packs for sure, although my budget is far from ok with that💵🙈
Is it really about the battle packs and armies Holly? ;-) Awesome video!!! Very well delivered. And just 'cause you said it, I'm gonna go build a Princess Leia army and send you the pics once done... Keep it up, brilliant! :-)
Feels good
true army builders have to keep one sealed in hope that one day they are fortunate enough to meet the mastermind behind the 501st battle pack movement and get MandR to sign it, will you do the same?
This was a very fun and entertaining video. Also you look so cute in glasses.
lmao im with you on the droids they are so rinky dink and fun. I loved folding them up and pretending they had just come out of the mtt and re-enact the scene on naboo from episode 1 when i was younger. def want to buy more on bricklink and make an army of them
Love the mandr call out
Cool. Us bros welcome the help!
Love it 😀 😍 ❤
Can't wait for the AT-TE to arrive on your shore!
I just started collecting again but your not alone to collect the 501st lol

I mean of course army building for really any lego theme that has armies in it is crucial and it's quite a daunting and ridiculous task to get even 20 let alone 30 or 50 or hundreds of a mass soldier for any army but when it's done and done it's definitely rewarding.
