Color Scheme
Monochromatic black with subtle gray mechanical detailing and small red, blue, and yellow control accents.
Printing Details
Pad-printed torso with sharp contrast. The red shoulder rank and the control panel icons are tiny but precise. Printing is limited to the front of the torso; the back features light ribbing patterns.
Variants
Similar to sw0693 and sw0581, but distinguished by the specific red rank insignia and 'Rogue One' style chest box.
Condition Notes
The torso shows some light dust in the crevices. Common wear points include torso cracks under the arms and fading of the red rank printing from handling. Black plastic easily shows scratches and scuffs.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a complete figure is $5.00 - $8.00 USD. In the current incomplete state (missing head and helmet), the value is approximately $2.00 - $3.00 USD for the torso and legs.
Price (New)
N/A - Primarily available in set 75154 TIE Striker which retailed for $69.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
75154 TIE Striker (2016).
Character Background
Imperial Ground Crew are technicians and signalers responsible for guiding TIE fighters and shuttles in and out of hangars, notably seen on the landing pads of Scarif.
Design Notes
A highly accurate representation of the costume seen in Rogue One. The use of red signal batons as accessories was a unique touch for this wave of Star Wars figures.
Similar Minifigures
sw0693 (Imperial Crew - Open Jumpsuit), sw0581 (Imperial Gunner), and sw0816 (Admiral Thrawn - shared officer torso style).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a necessary 'army builder' for fans of the Galactic Empire or Rogue One, but does not command extreme prices compared to named characters like Krennic.
History
Part of the first wave of Rogue One sets which introduced more gritty, detailed Imperial personnel designs compared to the stylized Rebels or Classic versions.
Interesting Facts
The printing on the chest is nearly identical to an AT-ST pilot's life support box, but includes specific ranking red stripes unique to ground personnel.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a hangar bay MOC (My Own Creation) or standing next to a TIE Striker. Use orange signal batons to create an action pose.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Imperial custom figures. The black torso serves as a neutral base for TIE Pilots, Officers, or generic Star Wars technicians.
Overall Assessment
This is a solid, screen-accurate grunt figure. While currently incomplete, the torso remains a high-quality part for any LEGO Star Wars Imperial army collector.
