Honestly, the only issue worth mentioning with this set I have is that there are no binocular attachements. They were introduced in last battlepack, and so far haven't reappeared anywhere so far. And that set is bound to retire this year. I feel like that's the reasonable ask as that's prety much adding two more parts to the set, and one of those is a spare so it doesn't really count. And that's about it, which speaks to how great this set is for what it is. Yeah, helmet holes are here, but they're useful, honestly I would just get rid of the fake attachement ports, to hell with accuracy impeading usefulness, and although speeder is pretty meh, it's clear that it was the last thing designed with limited part count. You'll get few of those sets, you can definitely do something with parts from it. Also, B2s look almost the same, but only untill you'll compare both of them to each other, and then you can't really unsee the diferences. Not only torso, but arms got redesigned as well. and shoulders are flat-ish to improve their ability to stand negt to walls. And regarding shock trooper, designer insisted on including one to make sure ones in the gunship aren't locked just to that set. Which is pretty sweet sentiment, we often see those sets from the grown up point of view. We can get minifigs off of bricklink or other sites, we can get customs, we have options and income. Kids don't. Honestly I wish they did something similar with 212th too, maybe include one 212 clone instead of one heavy trooper in specialist pack or something.
Love the huge comment these are very welcomed here! I do agree they should have at least added the Binocs. I never realized they were only in the 501st specialists battle pack crazy!

The clone trooper helmet attachment hole should at least be a little lower, in the correct place! Cool set though 👌
Yes they should be lower 😅
