Box

This is the set back in 2008 and the box print that time was using Vader face. Here's the box art which I get, a very simple one, serial number and the name of the set was there at the front. The top of the box shows the actual scale of Storm Trooper while the back shows the minifigures and the playability that this set provided you with.

Content

Inside the box was two bags of bricks, an instruction booklet and a sticker sheet that contains the logo of the Imperial army. This set is a little bit aged, so you can see that there are some yellowish thing grown on the sticker sheet.

Accessories

Back then, these blasters was really something new and rare, and if able to get two of the long one would make me feel very delighted. So we get two SE-14 and two E-5 blaster.

Minifigs

Thanks to this battle pack, it brings down the price of the Shadow Trooper and later the magnet set. I am very happy to get this Shadow Trooper even until now as I remember that you can only get them in TIE Crawler before this battle pack is release. All of the minifigs are printed on both side of their torso and the have that black blank head stud.

the only downside of these minifigs is that their helmet are too loose and they are still the same when Clone Walker Battle Pack (#8014) was released. Same problem being carried forward. But at least now they are getting better by a bit.

Imperial Dropship

I am not sure if this dropship is in the expanded universe, but it definitely is one small useful craft that use to drop off the Storm Trooper in battlefield. Small but acceptable design.

There are not much things to be stress on, on this small dropship and moving to the cockpit it was empty, there are no controllers and anything else for the Shadow Trooper to man the dropship. Secondly the windscreen fall off easily when you open and close it. Just to point out the flaws that we can work on it in improving it, after all this is LEGO.

Here's the main playability and something that matches the name, dropship. At the back of the craft there are a base plate where it can fit in a maximum of 4 minifigs. Also on top of it are the tail of the craft with the engine which can be higher up to release the platform that carries the Storm Trooper.

Is a one neat playability, don't you think? Rather than the flick fire missile thingy that appear in most of the Star Wars set. But this dropship is rather unarmed and can be shot down anytime by the rebel.

There are place for you to attached the blasters in the middle top of the craft. Also, you need to apply the stickers to add more details to it. Here's a shot of the dropship with the minifigs.

Extra pieces

Here are the two extra pieces that you should find yourself end up with after finishes the dropship.

Completed model

Still remain as one of the best Storm Trooper army building set although the torso print is quite outdated and has been replaced by a newer print which in my opinion, it looks better. I suppose the set is now very rare and fetch a high price in the after market.
