Year Released
2015. Debuted in Set 75103 First Order Transporter alongside the theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode VII.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not limited-edition, it appeared in only three sets and remains a popular army-building figure for sequel-era fans.
Head
Plain black head underneath the helmet to create the visor effect; the helmet is a unique dual-molded white piece with a specialized narrow visor slit and integrated breathing apparatus.
Torso
White torso with First Order Flametrooper armor printing; includes fuel canister harness and utility belt details. High-quality pad printing on front and back.
Legs
White legs with detailed hip and knee armor printing, along with black utility pouches on the right thigh to represent fuel management gear.
Accessories
Equipped with a standard black medium blaster in the image, though originally came with a complex brick-built flamethrower including a backpack tanks and trans-orange flame pieces.
Color Scheme
Stark white and black monochromatic palette, consistent with First Order aesthetic, using high-gloss white plastic.
Printing Details
Highly precise pad printing on the torso and legs. The helmet features subtle grey and black vent printing to emphasize the unique ventilation required for fire-handling troopers.
Variants
Standard version (sw0666) is the most common. A similar version appeared in 2017 with slightly updated helmet/torso shading for the 'The Last Jedi' line.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check for torch/blaster marks on the hands and heel cracks on the legs. Helmet printing can rub off if stored loosely.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00; New/Mint: $10.00 - $12.00. Value increases significantly if the original brick-built flamethrower accessory is included complete.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 75103 ($89.99 USD) and later in a smaller battle pack 75166 ($14.99 USD), making them relatively accessible at the time.
Compatible Sets
75103 First Order Transporter (2015), 75149 Resistance X-Wing Fighter (2016), and 75166 First Order Transport Speeder Battle Pack (2017).
Character Background
Specialized stormtroopers of the First Order whose armor is designed to withstand extreme heat. They were notably used to incinerate the Tuanul village on Jakku in the opening scene of The Force Awakens.
Design Notes
This figure marked a departure from classic Stormtrooper molds, requiring a completely new helmet sculpt to capture the 'pouty' look of the movie version's specialized heat shields.
Similar Minifigures
sw0667 First Order Stormtrooper, sw0665 First Order Snowtrooper, and the classic Imperial Incinerator Trooper.
Collectibility
Medium. Desirable for those building First Order dioramas or 'Trooper' evolution collections, though sequel trilogy figures generally have lower ROI than Original Trilogy figures.
History
First introduced in the 2015 Force Friday wave. It represented LEGO's modern commitment to highly accurate, movie-specific trooper variants rather than generic designs.
Interesting Facts
The helmet mold is unique to this specific trooper class and has not been reused for any other Star Wars character. Some sets included a specialized 'flame' piece that was new for 2015.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a 'marching' formation or a Jakku village diorama. Use orange transparent studs or 'power burst' pieces to simulate the flame-throwing action.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'Purist' MOCs; the white torso is versatile for other sci-fi marine designs. Often paired with custom fabric capes for rank-and-file variation.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 for design accuracy. The unique helmet mold makes it a standout amongst First Order figures, even if the sequels themselves have a divided fan base.
