I’m not 100% sure what you mean by “need 100 battle droid minifigures,” so a couple quick questions first so I can give a precise answer:
- Are you trying to recreate the entire Skywalker Saga as LEGO dioramas, a few specific battle scenes, or something else (tabletop gaming, stop‑motion, display)?
- What scale do you want (minifigure scale, micro scale, or tabletop skirmish scale)?
- What’s your approximate budget?
Quick guidance while you answer:
1) How many you “need” depends on your goal
- Small minifig‑scale scene (single shot, a hangar or small skirmish): 5–30 droids.
- Medium scene / small diorama (e.g., Geonosis corridor fight, Naboo skirmish): 30–100 droids.
- Large table display or big battle diorama (a convincing army/line): 100–300+ droids. Big cinematic battles realistically need hundreds, but most hobbyists use 100–200 for a strong effect.
2) Alternatives to buying 100 separate minifigs
- Reuse the same figures across multiple photos/angles (stop‑motion or photography).
- Build mixed scale: a few minifig‑scale droids up close and micro‑army in the background (brick‑built silhouettes).
- Use cheaper third‑party or bulk lots to reduce cost.
- Convert generic tan torsos/heads to battle droid look, or buy parts in bulk to assemble.
3) Practical notes on cost and sourcing
- B1 battle droid minifigs (tan) commonly sell for roughly $2–$10 each depending on condition and print. Bulk lots on BrickLink/eBay often lower the per‑figure cost.
- Specialty droids (droidekas, super battle droids, newer prints) cost more.
- Check BrickLink, eBay, BrickOwl, LEGO resellers for bulk lots (“50/100 B1 Battle Droids”). Buying parts (heads/torso/legs) in bulk can be cheaper than complete figures for very large numbers.
4) A quick example plan
- If you want to recreate major Separatist battles (Geonosis-esque) at minifig scale on a 1 m × 0.5 m table, aim for ~150–250 battle droids plus ~40–100 clones/Republic troops for balance.
- For a photo series of multiple scenes, you can get away with 20–50 droids and reuse them across setups.
If you tell me which scenes and what scale/budget you have in mind, I’ll give a specific recommended count, a parts list, and sourcing links/price estimates.
