Review: LEGO Star Wars 75226 Inferno Squad Battle Pack

We will hurry with the LEGO Star Wars set 75226 Inferno Squad Battle Pack (118 pieces - € 14.99), a small box based on the Star Wars Battlefront 2 video game that doesn't deserve to be spent hours in it.

As the title suggests, this set is a Battle Pack, or a small affordable box that often allows us to add units to our armies depending on the number of sets we will acquire.

This features three characters whose contribution to the Star Wars universe stops at the gates of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 video game (Iden Versio, Gideon Hask and Del Meeko) and a fourth, Seyn Marana, a female character who does not is not even in the game and which only appears in a book inspired by the game called Battlefront II: The Inferno Squad.
Suffice to say that if you focus your collection on products derived from films, you can skip it here without regret.

We immediately evacuate the machine provided in this small set, which LEGO presents to us as a speeder but which I consider rather a microfighter loosely based on the Corvus, the ship that allows the Inferno squad to reach the theater of operations. It's minimalist but it's there to ensure the product's "building game" quota, so we make do with it.

A Battle Pack is also and above all a lot of often generic minifigs that allow us to complete our armies. In addition to the presence of Iden Versio, there are therefore three members of the Inferno squad whose torso, legs and helmet are identical. However, three different faces are provided for these soldiers that you can always try to have fun recognizing.

Who is Gideon Hask? What minifigs do Seyn Marana and Del Meeko represent? It's up to you to see and, if you're a fan of the game, the weapons each one carries can help infer who is who. It is not of capital importance anyway, LEGO is content to present these minifigs as simple "Inferno Squad Agents".

It still lacks the DIO droid used by the squad in the game. A few more pieces would not have changed much on the margin of the manufacturer and the fans would have been in heaven.

LEGO provides two bat black belts, but only one character wears this accessory in this set. I also used the second, I find these minifigs are visually more attractive with this belt.

Great job from LEGO on the reproduction of the minifig outfits. It's not quite the same as the outfit of the characters in the game but it's enough. Iden Versio has the right skin tone, we find his right shoulder pad with red stripes and the pilot helmets already seen in other shades in the LEGO Star Wars range are here very faithful to the versions present in the game.

With the savings made on the pad printing in one color of the three torsos of the members of the commando, LEGO could however have split a red band on the arms of the different characters, just to add a touch of color to the outfit of these minifigs.

Too bad the weapons are the usual coin throwers, two of which are already present on the ship itself. As I said above, it is also thanks to these different weapons that we can identify the members of the squad and pretty specific blasters would have been appreciated.

In short, if you've played Star Wars Battlefront 2, this Battle Pack is for you. If you are indiscriminately collecting LEGO Star Wars minifigs as long as they are never-before-seen, this Battle Pack is for you too.

In any case, you have no reason to pay for this set at full price, it is sold at a price slightly lower than its public price all year round at amazon:
