Now we need the 327th star corps troopers for next year.
I prefer the p1 regular clones tho
@@NotSignedInNoMore my dream is a 327th battlepack
no, we need storm troopers
@Qoobon_ we do need death troopers too. Been years since we last had any.
For the ROTS anniversary a 327th battle pack would be amazing and perfect
In the Philippines that sh!t cost 50 usd. Lego pricing outside the US is crazy. I hope it normalizes.
facts
After checking in imdonesia, i found that it was 531 rupiah so its facts
Well yeah that's how it works.. cost X USD and it costs that everywhere.. just different exchange
Nah in uae it’s even crazier
@@hal0justcal865its not tho
Definitely not overhyped. It was an army builder pack we desperately needed
The clone builds suck tho
@@SeekerFN agreed
You say that cause you cant army build and I can even assume you are not even a part of any army building union or discord group. Smallest clone army is a squad made up of 9 clones of the same kind plus a sergeant or an officer which means white phase 2 army cant be army built when we dont have proper leadership thus no army builders are actually buying this. What you are doing is stacking figures aimlessly on a baseplate and larp as an army builder.
I honestly think this set would be MORE hyped if the community wasn’t so jaded by the helmet holes. The figures are great, but a lot of people are using a lot of energy to complain about that one aspect.
I actually don't mind the helmet holes. I'm just excited to get affordable clone troopers and new super battle droids. (Instead of paying a double or triple digit number for 9-11 pieces of tiny plastic designed like cody, rex, or any trooper.)
Manufactured outrage from MandR unfortunately
i think including cool attachments would help people appreciate the holes more but otherwise its like why did they even put them in
Drinking game: take a shot every time David says battle pack 😅
I would love to keep my liver though lol
More of a craft beer guy myself, but if your bringing some good whiskey...
@@SolidBrixStudios Even if it was one ounce of beer, half of us would be dead by the 8 min mark.
Round two would be "helmet holes".
I’ll wait to buy more once the price drops to that $23.99
same i bought 3, waiting to buy more when it’s on discount
Some eBay sellers over the past few weeks have been offering them for $24.99
Same honestly, i bought about 5 to start and then i told myself id just wait til the price dropped a bit
$23.99 on Amazon now
@FunksIncKeys thank you for the news my good sir, bouta price match em at target and get my discount lmao
The way I see it is, 1: If you were gonna add helmet holes, why wouldn't you give accessories. 2: If you aren't gonna give accesories, then why give them helmet holes..
Literally
spot on!
add a cloth waist accessory while your arguing about every other accessory.
I do feel like it makes sense for them to add helmet holes as a lot of sets do give extra accessories
I like how they included a shock trooper that otherwise could only be acquired through purchasing a mid $140 set. I believe the designer said something along the lines of wanting to make the shock trooper an army builder, since the 2014 one was exclusively stuck in a $50 set
It's a shame that the coruscant guard gunship is close to being 1.5x more expensive than it should be IMO, taking into account the piece count, size, minifigure quantity and lack of accessories. A lot of people complain about it not being a regular republic gunship but I love that they made something different this time. It would be a great first gunship for me if it wasn't for the absolutely ridiculous pricetag. (Even despite Fox being pink XDD)
@@peterpolus5272compared to the previous gunships its about the same price per piece and it has a similar ammount of figs (cw one had 5, aotc also had 5 with 2 droids I believe but they were MORE expensive about 30 USD more) The pricetag is justified but lego has just always been an expensive hobby
You can get the shock troopers in paperbags in a paper magazine for 5 bucks in europe
The new gunship is garbage and so is the UCS one
@@IndianaJake Yeah...no not by any objective measure
I don't personally think it's overhyped. It's GREAT for just regular army building, and as someone who has the Coruscant Guard Gunship, it's very good for filling it out with shock troopers. Even if you only buy one, it's honestly a great set IMO. The only issue is the price, but I've seen some places reduce its price already.
Rogue One trooper battle pack is the goat, full stop.
Just had those terrible blasters, but the figs were soooo good.
People love to hate but I think what LEGO has been doing this past year has been great, with only more great to come.
I see more people hating on people's opinion than actual people "hating" on the set, most of what I see are constructive criticisms but hey I guess it's easier to say it's just "hate"☺
Thanks! Would love for you bring back your live build streams! Love your videos and opinions!
Thanks so much!! And maybe some day!
This is one of the best, if not the best, battlepack, we need more clone legions like wolfpack/327th etc
6:48 Also this assesories pack ALSO comes in 2010 TCW Turbo Tank that is also shown at 2:31
And the republic frigate for commander Wolffe!
@@Kronos327correctamundo! I forget about that one also!
We get 9 total figures for 30 USD. Idk what could possibly be the problem with that when the set is very clearly designed to offer a way to mass figures.
The builds, and the helmets suck
@SeekerFN nobody cares. These are the figs you get. I wish they were better too but Lego will never change it just because you don't like it.
Problem is that people only want and need clones or only want and need droids. There is a really small number of people that want both. This is especially hurtfull for droid army builders that are waiting for a battle pack since 2008. There is also no proper leadership for the phase 2 clones which mean you cant even make the smallest accurate to the canon army of 10 so no one is happy except people that will only get 1 set and kids that think army building is aimlessly stacking figures on baseplates.
@bokatan88 There actually is proper leadership for the clones. The shock troopers of the Coruscant Guard are completely uniform to the point that (with only a couple exceptions like Fox and Thorn) every single shock trooper private, sergeant, lieutenant, captain, and most of the commanders look completely identical with no distinguishing details or accessories. A couple examples of this are Commander Thire and Captain Kagi looking like regular shock troopers in ROTS. It's pretty similar with the plain white troopers except in that case it's usually only the privates, sergeants, lieutenants, and sometimes the captains that keep plain armor, usually captains and above add accessories or markings to their armor.
I have four of them, I have been finding them at liquidation stores and buying them for a cheap price of $6. It’s a great army builder imo.
Bruh $6 it's litteraly free
6?!!!! what is a liquidation store bruh
This set is not even 25 usd in Poland its not overhyped, it's UNDERAPRECIATED for how insane it is like 3 of these and you have over a full squad of clones and droids and there are some insane alt builds for this aswell
100%. The battle packs should come with more accessories for kitting out your troopers etc.
As an adult, the comparison to the previous version/ accessories is easy to think negatively but as the parent of a generation that missed 2009-2013, the current offerings will be their generation’s “golden age.” It’s the best THEY’ve ever seen
Correct, but I think the issue he was trying to address here is that its not LEGOS best, and we all deserve legos best no matter what era we started collecting.
It is well worth the price and hype. Despite the lack of accessories, you get so many extras with other packs that it works itself out. The clone builds are great for piece sourcing for building your own republic builds. The Separatist builds are both phenomenal, the stap being a good filler for mocs. The tri droid might seem useless, but for anyone who has ever looked at Separatist armies, they are comprised of a lot of carbon copied droids. A tri droid being available for army building gives you the abilty to add droids that are bigger than battle droids and super battle droids, but aren't as expensive homing spider droids and the like, all being second hand market sales now that are super expensive
My guy doesn't seem to know its macro binoculars not micro. Micro would mean the clones are strapping microscopes to their helmets instead of telescopes
The helmet holes are great for CAC accessories, but if the helmet are bare and don’t have any accessories, I just can’t unsee that boxy shape
It’s like a 50$ set here in Canada
Isn't the Canadian dollar worth less?
@@silvercenturion4214That is correct, by quite a bit surprisingly.
Its 39.99 bro, check indigo, mastermind toys, etc.
@@MrDaviydat toys r us its $50
@@trodg Don't buy from there I guess.
i think a super underrated aspect of this battle pack is the way that it's packaged, because it's such a social thing. you could buy kids a few of these and have a lego building party, where everyone works on different parts of the set and then have a big battle once everyone's done. i even built this set with a friend and it was a blast !!
I can’t wait to get this set! Please do a May 4th promo guide video since there’s a lot going on this year
If only they made a droid specialist battlepack with security and command B1s with Bx commando droids
This. Throw in a droideka and I'd buy twelve!
You keep the last page for MOC pieces, which is genius !
The 8098 Turbo Tank was my favorite set in my collection before I had to donate my entire collection when my family moved when I was younger. I'm really hoping I can snag that one for a good price in the Whatnot stream, college sure ain't cheap, lol
To be honest i disagree, this set gives you the good guy vs. bad guy evenly at least in terms of mini figs but also gives you 2 speeders and an armor unit for the droids. There is not a set like it to this degree and you get it for $30 usd at least in the US. Definitely an army builder both both factions. Its so far is the greatest Battle pack of all time. Helmet holes are not a big deal in the long run, we will get a different version down the line.
I started collecting Lego Star Wars this year and this was my very first purchase. I wanted to start small and this seemed like a great way to do so, and I'm very happy with it!
If you've bought a Mandalorian set or the specialist battlepack then you should have plenty of extras to add to these clones!
Not pauldrons/kama/flashlights/macrobinoculars
@@ethanrobertson560 Macrobinoculars and rangefinders only I think.
I get your point on what's included in the box. I certainly don't have a large Lego SW collection, but I do have a decent amount of visors, antenna / range finders, binoculars since you always get a whole pack of those even if you are only using 1 in the particular set. I don't have one of these yet, but I certainly want to get a couple as at least in my opinion that is a great price for the amount of figs.
will you be doing may 4th guide this year as well?
Don't forget the Binoculars. That makes one Accessory
Me personally, I like the Imperial battlepacks more just because of the amazing stormtrooper design they did back then. Sets 75165 and 75134 were just peak for the Imperials, the design the builds and the figures were all amazing. However, I do also like to army build clones and cosider the 212th battlepack and the set 8014 absolute bangers due to the ROTS design and obviously the 8014 has everything to build an actual army. IMO 75372 is the best battle pack to army build for people who love the clone wars, even tho u don't get any accessories for ur clones, while they do have the awful helmet holes. I haven't bought any SW set since the release of ATTE, after which i was so disappointed with the new 212th design, I just lost faith in LEGO first they ruin the perfect stormtrooper helmet, and then they add this stupid helmet hole which makes the helmet look like its a cube and then proced to not use this opportunity for the addition of clone accessories.
as someone who hates shiny p2s I would much rather a 212th battle pack or the 501st specialists one but I do appreciate that this battle pack gives a good number of droids and clones together for a good price
When this thing goes down to the mid low $20s, I am to buy SO many of them.
I own the Clone Walker battlepack back then and I never knew that accessory pack was so special
I was a little mad about the helmet holes when they first made the change too, but after some time, I really could not care less lol. The difference is actually so minimal and if you looking at them from more than 3cm away you can’t even tell. I would prefer them without the holes are a better placement for sure but it really isn’t worth screaming about. I think the “new” stormtrooper helmets are far more egregious and less people complain about those. They actually look like bobble heads now and are even less functional than the original
I gotta disagree with ya, I think the lack of accessories makes this the perfect battle pack to army build, we buy the named captains in other sets and gibe them their own squads of regular clones, otherwise every clone would have commander pouldron when should be 1.
If they just used p2 helmets with no holes this issue wouldnt exist, like yes i dont want every clone to be a commander but if they are cheap and refuse to not use the helmet hole mold atleast include accessories to fill them
That black accessories pack was actually in the Lego starwars republic frigate set
That 2009 battlepack will always be my favorite
I know uow they shouldve done it. There should have been 2 of each clone. 2 shock, 2 plain. One of each type would have helmet warts, and the other of each wouldnt. That way they could satisfy both types of people
100% agree with you. I own 10 and have never built the speeder and droid. Only kept the stap.
Just got 8 for the price of 6. Gonna get a few pieces to make hachiroku24's Octapura droid. Definitly worth it and not overhyped since it's the best battle pack ever.
Maybe some day we'll get a full-sized Magna Octuparra Tridroid....
I don’t love the helmet holes but if we got accessories it would definitely help damper the look.
I actually really enjoy the set! I bought a bunch of clone army customs RP2 helmets plain clone trooper and RP2 helmets shock troopers! Makes the set even better
I feel like these are great when you have a wave of complimenting sets to accompany. Something to expand the battlefield
im at the same stance, all this battlepack needed was an accessory pack!!
the bricklink price for the new plain p2 clone troopers is super low, that might also be a good way to army build
honestly biggest issue i see is that why would you army build if there is no real battle to go with it? like there is not enough cohesive clone wars stuff to fascilitate the clones. Where are the droid defences? the clone wars based battle sets? if they decided to make more rots sets or some clone wars sets and actively sold it with a storyline in the marketing it wouldve sold better
10:18 Thank you. Why does no one else seem to care about this?
This set is goated. I only have 1 so far but I’ll be buying way more…
Every store I’ve been to whether it’s Walmart, Target, heck even the Lego store they have 10+ sitting on the shelves. I think at Walmart a week or two ago I saw easily 20+ and some of them were there the last few times I was there.
I have tried to join the whatnot giveaways but it hasn’t been letting me the last couple times, do I need payment information put into my whatnot account to be able to join the giveaways?
This is definitely my favorite battle pack!
I was here for the tri droid, since I got the OG in 2012… or whenever it came out
To me it is the best set I own well maybe but up there but this is the singular one where they should’ve put visors and stuff in
Loved the vid!
2:44 I feel bad for anyone that cares about the value of variants like that.
LEGO still doing minifigure numbering balance in some sets As I keep saying super battledroid arms should be rodholes Well in some fairness people have so many spares from prievous battlepack though the bomb squad trooper battlepack that doesn’t have accessories I accessories I’m aware this set doesn’t have it either though any clone trooper sets that doesn’t have accessories if you have spares
Can’t wait for when people’s opinions to change again once the set retires
I was talking to someone who told me it doesn’t matter if I can get the item for 50 to 75 percent off when you don’t have the money it doesn’t matter what’s the price
Don't forget the shields on the turret can be used
Personally, I give my Shock Troopers regular blasters and rifles since they rarely carry pistols in the Star Wars universe.
Love the set, agree on accessories and i think lego has been going down in quality mostly in that regard even if they have been actually getting better in some areas. Hell a poly bag of fabric accessories for things like this would at least be cool if they didn't include it here(which it should be).
Need Walmart to price drop this to $24 ASAP
Just bought 2 more after work today. Some kid hid them all at the supermarket I shop at behind the obi wan Kamino set 😂
Needed more droids
I gotta get one before it retires
one of the best battlepacks ever i love it
I used to have that Republic battleship. Sadly don’t know where it is these days
pls show us the sealed set collection
whatnot stream on the day the may 4th promo drops 🤔
Just imagine if we got this set in realistic style
The helmet holes don't bother me personally but I understand the hate behind it. But if you're gonna put them in every helmet then give people accessories to utilize them. The thing that bothers me about the current clone figures is the printing quality issues. The closes we had in like 2021 and before we're fantastic and nearly perfect. The current ones are almost laughably bad sometimes and it's killing my desire to buy more than one of any set that has them.
i would have built the tri-droids they are kinda sick
So its still on store shelves makes it not great according to your open. What you mean is since im a scummy speculator who bought 100 of them did i really just waste money because i cant overcharge someone in a few years or more?
Not overhyped, just dont like helmet holes so i didnt buy as many becuase i had to spend some of my money on custom phase 2 grunt helmets with no holes.
Once this set goes on sales at stores like Walmart for $25 or less, I think this set will really start selling.
I feel like it was perfectly hyped when it came out but then it just kind of died off, my local Walmart has like 40 of them on the shelf right now. but also hi David loved the content
Honestly I think that’s just cause lots of people are waiting for the price to be marked down. I didn’t buy the og 501st battlepack in bulk till that happened
So hairy and so round i love it tbh
I'd love a new battle pack for just droids
I’ve been wanting to buy that battle pack, but I just haven’t gotten around to it
I also hate the speeder design. I would have preferred one similar to the 05 turbo tank or 2011 clone battle pack speeder.
The best battle park of all time was the variant clonewars battle pack with art, horn and bomb squad
Love a battlepack
Could you imagine how good that set would be if the clones didn’t have nasty helmet warts
Just went on sale over here in aus for abt 22 usd
Is the giveaway world wide or just the US??
$50 AUD here, but I found a Target that sells them $5 cheaper.
use the tri droids to make a small moc of christophsis!!!
I got a few for sth in the range of 18€. Was fun
We need thorns battlepack
I had paper bags for this set
It’s a fantastic battle pack. Hopefully those phase 2 regs will be utilized in more sets. Would be good for some Bad Batch sets.
Just wish it was cheaper, but Im also stuck in late 2000s and early 2010s of life (mentally)
Pick one up for 20 bucks! What a steal!
Who ever said this was the best battle pack of all time?? First time I’ve ever heard that. Sure it’s a good value comparatively and the new Super Battle Droids are good, but there are still some people who take issue with the clone helmets and I’ve heard some negative discussion about the clone builds. Solid battle pack? Sure. Best one ever? I doubt many people would agree.
