  • Never in LEGO history has there ever been a 2 year strong social media campaign leading up to a LEGO set. It's been such a long time since the beginning of the LEGO Star Wars community campaign for a 501st battlepack, so today I give you a rundown of every key figure and event in the campaign's timeline that lead to the creation of the 75280 501st Legion Clone Troopers set.
    From prominent and key figures in the movment like @legostarwars.memes, @MandRproductions, and @RichboyJhae, all the way to the relentless and consistent #wewanta501stbattlepack battle cries on LEGO's social media posts, the fight to get this set was certainly no easy task. The end result may just be the most popular set ever created.

      Ahh yes statements like these are the reason no one takes us seriously. Big time you think. We have no room to talk about how much money LEGO makes. We have no way way of knowing and none of these you tubers know either. LEGO listens to its fans and you’d be surprised how many you tubers LEGO actually talks too.

    I think going forward LEGO should do the ideas route for the LEGO designers.
    So the designers can pitch their ideas but for the current license.
    Star Wars, marvel,dc, Minecraft etc. excluding original license.
    allowing us to vote for one of the set of a particular license theme.
    We all know they scrap ideas 24/7. Maybe it’s an idea we want.

    Got to be a good thing for a company if their customers say 'make this and we'll buy it', far better than the company putting out a product that nobody wants. Win for Lego and win for us.
    Will they do it again? maybe, I think we've done our bit buying it by the armful, if they want to sell a shed load of sets, listen to what we want. Lego will do whats best for Lego but at the end of the day, money in the till is their goal.

    If I’m not mistaken I believe there was an ask m&r episode that had a question about battle packs then after that Ryan made the we want a 501st battle pack video. I might be 100% wrong that was 2 years ago but I think there was something that sparked Ryan’s first video. Also I think letting LEGO know we want a set is good as long as we don’t abuse it or bully them since LEGO doesn’t owe us anything

    9:15 well if the community campaigns for a set, it shows lego there is a demand for something and gives them an idea what the fans want, sorta like the lego ideas, but for brand sets. I can see how this could be bad, but in the end lego made a set that is selling out faster than they can supply it, so that must make them very happy.

Then what I thought would definitely not happen happened. They had four of these!!! I bought all of them. And I’m not disappointed. I love this set, and if their is any combo of two sets I’d want. It’d be the aat, and a 501st battle pack.

Just give us 3-4 price slots with 3-4 options per slot and see what the PAYING fans want to buy next. They can still make plenty more sets that we don't choose...
