75428 Battle Droid with STAP official images!
Posted by CapnRex101,
May the Fourth be with you, everybody! LEGO has unveiled another upcoming Star Wars set to mark the occasion. A short press release follows:
75428 Battle Droid with STAP
Rated 12+, 1,088 pieces
$139.99 / £119.99 / €129.99
Available at LEGO.com from 1st July
Put a young fan’s passion for Star Wars on full display with this Battle Droid with STAP building toy for kids (75428). A cool LEGO Star Wars gift for boys, girls and any fans aged 12 years old and over, this dynamic build-and-display model makes impressive desk decor.
Place the LEGO brick-built poseable figure of a Battle Droid riding its STAP speeder on the display stand or lift the character and STAP off the stand for swooshing action. The Battle Droid can also stand on its own, with its brick-built blaster attached to its back or held in its hands.
This LEGO Star Wars set also includes a Battle Droid LEGO figure with a STAP, which can be placed next to the stand’s information plaque to complete a striking display.
What do you think of the Battle Droid with STAP? Let us know in the comments.

This set looks really cool to me and I'm not even a Star Wars fan... don't know what the in-universe vehicle looks like but I'm a sucker for a large-scale figure riding a big brick-built vehicle! I like that the Battle Droid looks similar to the Marvel construction figures but is nowhere near the same build.
The big one looks amazing, the small one still looks comically oversized (fortunately I figured out a modification that looks more accurate), the big Battle Droid is probably about as good as they can get without making single-use elements, and that stand is depressing. It would have been so much better if they'd figured out a way to use a clear post to hold the STAP. In fact, they even have a clear half-column with Technic holes that would have probably been perfect for the job.
Also, I still really want to design one of these for my Bionicle droids.
I like the look of this set. Is it scaled with 75381 Droideka (and therefore with ccbs figures)?
Great STAP, mediocre droid.
Something about the ridges just above the droids eyes make him look slightly panicked or anxious at all times. So we’re going with the Clone Wars characterisation of them I guess!
UCS Battle Droid, ha! Still waiting for my TIE Bomber...
Okay, this actually looks amazing!
Am I the only one that thinks that the battle droid looks sad?
It doesn’t look like it folds up - disappointing if it’s the case

Hard to pilot a STAP while folded. Doesn't seem like a necessary requirement for this droid.
Need to order massive amount of these beige inika ball pieces.
And also with you, Master @CapnRex101 .
"Put a young fan’s passion for Star Wars on full display with this Battle Droid with STAP building toy for kids"
Nothing to see here for AFOLs then.
Although I really don't care for the prequels (especially TPM), this looks really really good. Props to the designer for getting the ratios so close to the original.
Ok, that's cool.
I was watching AotC yesterday evening. There were many badly scripted bits.
And not just many, but womeny and childreny too!
An amazingly well done set.
Nice! If only it had a couple of yellow, blue, red pieces to make him a security droid/commander/pilot like the old Technic set 8001 used to. I wonder if the droid can be folded up to transport mode.
Actually well done! Love it!
boy did I not know I needed this... thankfully its not €200+, it'll hurt a lot less to buy
The Force is strong with this thread and this set. May the Force be with you, everyone!
As atheist holidays go, this is slightly better than Festivis. However, if it becomes obvious that we cannot settle the Feats of Strength with our knowledge of the Force, then we will have to rely upon our skill with the lightsaber.

The set looks really good, and then I saw the price...
Lack of proof reading again. Press release says 10+ and 12 and over.
Is that the first time the word "swooshing" has appeared in a Lego press release?

We have clearance, Clarence. What's your vector, Victor?
That is actually really cool. For a display piece, it’s really designed well. But I gotta ask, will it explode easier with all that reddish-brown, hmmmm?

I wonder if this means we’ll finally get backpacks on battle droids in future sets…
STAP! In the naaaaaame of loooooove-
WOAH So Lego can MAKE HUGE POSABLE FIGS????
Jokes aside, this looks great!

Curious as well!
The Droideka stands about the same height as a battle droid.
They’ll have to make a brick built super battle droid to complete the trio
That battledroid has some beefy biceps.

Excuse me, I speak jive. S'up blood?
The design really reminds me of a very well remodeled 8001 I loved this set!
I think it's the gear elements used in the knees..

C'mon! You have to take into consideration the exclusive minifig.
(ceases to care if minifigs come with display sets)

...You know you can just add 1x2 plates, right?
Impressive! Now I'd like to see the STAP recolored in dark blue Clone Ware livery!
NGL, I kind of wish it was just the battle droid and the stand without the STAP for $35-$40
Awesome set! Should pair well with the Droideka. Glad to see a backpack on a Battle Droid minifigure again!
This reminds me of getting the Hasbro STAP with Batte Droid in the weeks leading to the release of Episode I. Seemed like a really cool character... until I saw the movie and they were all pretty much pathetic.

That hasn't been an issue for a good few years.

I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

potty mouth
I never really liked the brick build droids, but this actually looks pretty cool
As a SW fan I really like the stap and this Lego rendition looks excellent to me. The droid looks pretty good too and I highly appreciate that it can stand on its own. Overall an excellent set IMO, coming after Chopper and the last UCS… for one who has decided to slow down Lego purchase I have to say that holding to my word is quite difficult this month … and so will it be for the coming weeks too. I will get it for sure.

this looks fantastic, and i'd probably get it if i could afford it. wwish they wwould recolor the Mixels joints already though, the greys admittedly do a decent job of breaking up the monotony of the color scheme but Dark Tan just wwould'vve been beautiful

It's really the only sensible thing to do if it's done properly. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.

Hopefully the comment section will close before you get to the part where you start singing Linkin Park songs.

Fair enough. Have you seen what's going on on the RMOTD?

I'm starting to wonder if I triggered some kind of curse on all of Brickset. If so, meh, I've already suffered the consequences of my actions, the rest of you are just gonna have to suck it up and deal with it.
Wonder how this scales with the failed Buildable Figures they pulled, just before we received Captain Rex and a Super Battle Droid?
The chad battle droid with huge muscles
Looks more like a human cosplaying a Battle Droid

Looks like in saying that you ended the curse on this comment section, and the RMOTD has closed now.
It's a nice looking set for a display piece but the B1 looks a little clunky.
Definitely one to get but will wait until it's on discount as this will get down to the £70 mark on Amazon.
