Figure ID
sw0518
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2014. It debuted in set 75035 during a period where LEGO was transitioning to highly detailed, movie-accurate grunt soldiers with specialized leg printing.
Rarity
Uncommon. While it was in a relatively affordable 'Battle Pack', the set was retired years ago, and army-building demand has kept the available supply low on the secondary market.
Head
Standard 'Clone Cadet' fleshy head with a determined facial expression, hidden beneath a specialized Phase II Scout Trooper/Kashyyyk-style helmet featuring a dark gray visor and green/sand-green markings.
Torso
White torso with highly detailed 41st Elite Corps Phase II armor printing. Features a dark gray chest plate, printed utility belt, and black hands. Includes back printing that matches the tactical gear seen in Revenge of the Sith.
Legs
White legs with intricate printing representing the kneepads and boot details of the 41st Elite Corps scout armor. The hips are black to represent the under-suit.
Accessories
Includes a standard black short blaster (DC-15S). In original sets, they were often packaged with the then-new stud shooters, but the short blaster is the movie-accurate accessory.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black with accent colors of dark stone gray and sand green (camouflage) on the helmet. This scheme is intended to represent the camouflage units deployed to Kashyyyk.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. This was a significant step up from earlier clones, featuring sharp lines on the legs and torso, and precise alignment on the complex helmet mold.
Variants
There are no major manufacturing variants, but this figure is often confused with sw0519 (the camouflage version), which has a full green/camo torso and legs.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck (stress marks), hairline cracks on the sides of the torso, and fading of the gray visor print on the helmet if handled frequently.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $15 - $22 USD for a used complete figure. New/Mint condition can exceed $30 USD depending on the market platform.
Price (New)
Originally released in the 75035 Kashyyyk Troopers Battle Pack which retailed for $12.99 USD, making the initial cost-per-figure roughly $3.25.
Compatible Sets
75035 Kashyyyk Troopers (2014).
Character Background
These troopers were part of the 41st Elite Corps commanded by Commander Gree and Grand Master Yoda during the Battle of Kashyyyk in the final days of the Clone Wars.
Design Notes
The helmet is a unique mold that differs from standard Phase II Clone helmets, specifically designed to mimic the scout/Biker Scout visor style used by elite units.
Similar Minifigures
sw0519 (41st Kashyyyk Camo Clone Trooper), sw1146 (212th Recon Trooper), and the classic sw0005 (Scout Trooper).
Collectibility
High. Clone Troopers are the most 'army-built' figures in LEGO history. Because this specific unit is tied to a major film battle, demand remains consistently high.
History
This 2014 release represented the first time LEGO attempted a movie-accurate (non-CGI/wars style) scout trooper for the 41st Corps since the early 'Kashyyyk Trooper' of 2005.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called a 'Scout', this figure uses the white armor base instead of the full camouflage, reflecting the troopers seen standing behind Yoda in the film's command center.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Kashyyyk-themed MOC or on a gray/trans-clear stand to show off the leg printing. Pairs perfectly with Commander Gree (sw0528).
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the helmet is highly sought after for creating custom 41st Corps officers or specialized scouts.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier soldier minifigure with excellent printing and a unique helmet mold. It is a must-have for Star Wars prequel era collectors and remains one of the best 'grunt' clones produced.
