Yeah that seemed a bit contradicting but at the same time the Senate Commandos were rarely seen in the Clone Wars and even then they were supposed to be Elite guards for senators. If your purpose for battle packs is to build an army it would make no sense to have an army of elite guards. At the same time though the only way to get them at the time were from 2 different sets which each were expensive, and if you were doing a Coruscant MOC or some diplomat ship then the battle pack would make sense.
Now, I understand your point that people use battle packs to build armies, and so they should just have the "grunts" in them, but I think LEGO is also making battle packs to be nice, small sets for kids or parents that don't want to buy a sixty dollar set. Because of this, including those engineers, commanders, Jedi, etc. is important because otherwise those kids that can't afford the big sets will never have those extra characters to play with. The battle packs aren't exclusively for collectors. I know I would've loved and super appreciated the Jedi and Clone Troopers battle pack as a kid
You have a very good point but when they release the ones that you’re talking about they could also just release a battle pack with *just* clone troopers or *just* storm troopers etc.
MATTHEW SURBURG that’s true, but again I think LEGO knows that not everyone uses them as army builders. The Clones and Jedi battle pack clearly wasn’t made for the purpose of building armies, I’m sure it was always supposed to just be a cheap way to get those Jedi for kids that can’t get big sets
They should just not call them battle packs instead, keep battle packs for having grunt minifigures like troopers but also release smaller minifigure focused sets with hard to get figs like Jedi's or hard to find trooper variants
Mine was the hoth rebels battle pack. I remember before I actually got a Luke Skywalker I would just give the rebel pilot a blue lightsaber and pretend it was Luke from episode 5
It seemed to be quite a peaceful day for the CIS. That is until they say a growing mass over the horizon. Eventually it grew close enough for them to realise that their worst nightmares had come through. Before the T-series droids could call for a retreat, The entire Ki-Audi-Army yelled "What about the droid attack on the wookies?" in unison.
Mslug4 They only made 2 other sets with senate commandos, people who started their collection after 2011 wouldn't think it's fair. And I'd love an army of Senate Commandos and The Cannons.
Fans: we hate CW Ki Adi Mundi, we want a new version! Lego: ok, here’s a new one with accurate face printing and leg printing in a set less than £15 Fans: no not like that
i don’t think it’s about the “coolness” of a figure being ruined because it becomes accessible to normal people... you forget most people don’t have hundreds to spend on lego and the idea of lego isn’t to create rare exclusives that create a hierarchy in the community... it’s to be available to everyone whatever your budget. suggesting that a figure has been ruined because more than a few exclusive lego youtubers can get their hands on it is a bit naive and self centred, in my opinion. also, most people (again) are not lego youtubers and cannot afford to build an “army” and just buy them as a cheap cool set with cool minifigs.
I know I only buy like 1 of each battle packs and only the ones I like. They started making the battle packs less like an army builder and more like a mini set, because parents can’t afford to get their 6 year old a 30 to 80 dollar LEGO set that the kid will probably not build. I think the new approach to battle packs is a much better way of doing it so kids can get cool characters without having their parents spending a large sum of money.
Ikr like it’s fucking lego toys for people to play with, and mostly kids like there’s no need to turn the lego community into some toxic collector shit
@@DownHillgamer The problem is that fucking Hasbro completely has the "Star Wars action figure" market locked down. Lego USED to sell these little packs of minifigures in the early 2000s. They were a mix of just army building type figures (battle droids and scout troopers), and just named characters (Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Palpatine, Maul) in separate packs and everything went perfectly. Kids could buy the named characters while adults could buy the army building packs. Then Hasbro comes along and sues Lego, claiming the minifigs are actually action figures and that they are violating Star Wars' exclusivity deal. Apparently the courts decided in Hasbro's favor, and those little packs were no more. Fast forward to the late 2000s, and Lego comes up with an idea: sell the minfigs attached to magnets which could then be removed. I remember buying a whole bunch of them: I remember an Imperial Guard and a Boba Fett specifically. Along comes Hasbro again, and they ban THOSE packs. So now there's no way for people to get the famous characters on a budget. So Lego puts named characters into packs, and now there's no army builder packs anymore, like how there was when the magnet sets were still a thing. Kids could grab Palpatine or Boba Fett from the magnets while adults could do that and also build a stormtrooper army to go along with them.
Well I'm not a lego youtuber and I agree with him, they looked like really cool characters and they looked as if they were rare, lego ruined that whole aspect of them by putting them in a battle pack. We don't see them that often in the star wars universe especially when compared to storm troopers, clone troopers etc so makes no sense for lego to put them in a battle pack.
This is so true if the character is really ruined for you just deal with it. Some of us actually want those characters for cheap prices. BuT gOd FoRbiD tHaT eVeR hApPeN
How to make a good battlepack: -Vehicles that exists in the actual star wars universe -Four of the same figure -Regular blasters or studshooter modifications -No unigue figures
I love the unique figures if they are rare figures or figures not otherwise available. The Ki-Adi Mundi/Bariss Offee pack or the Inferno Squad one for example. They are great for people - like me - who don't want to build a generic army, but do want to collect awesome minifigs of their favourite characters without spending ridiculous money on eBay. I'd be delighted if 1 in 10 battle packs were unique figures instead of generic identical minifigs.
@@mjkg6026 It's because you don't need an army of Senate Commandos. I'd rather have them regularly appear in small numbers in higher price sets rather than pumped out in a battle pack.
For the “2nd worst” battle pack, I own that one, and I was really happy with it. In my opinion the droidekas are my favourite out of two different styles I’ve ever seen, and I definitely wouldn’t put it that far down.
I have to admit: that battle pack with the ARC trooper and the phase II trooper with the 2 special forces battle droids is probably my favourite battle pack. Such a good deal, and the little cannon is pretty cool too!
Top 5 IMO: 1. Original clone trooper battle pack 2. Clone walker battle pack 3. ARC/ARF trooper battle pack 4. Clone speeder battle pack 5. Senate commando battle pack* *i never thought it ruined the Senate commandos. I just liked the cheaper alternative to cad banes speeder.
I know!!! I ended up getting out of Lego right as they implanted these. Like even if the old ones looked nothing like the real blasters, they still looked like a gun. The stud shooters look stupid and way oversized. I actually used to have a few custom realistic blasters I got from I beileve BrickArms. Damn I kinda wish I didn't sell all my legos
@@Piiccoo923 And how many people actually built an army with them? I've owned 3 battlepacks in total, all of them are different sets. I doubt I'm in the minority here.
You’re looking at it strictly from the perspective of building an army. “Battle packs” aren’t fully intended just for that purpose. Actually they were made for children to be able to battle with a variety of characters for a reasonable price. There are marketing/strategy and budget decisions that go into it as well. They really should make a true line to build an army.
No they weren't, the first battle packs said build your army with the trooper on them. Also he didn't just look at them with the soul purpose of building an army like the elite clone troopers battle pack for example
I feel they're intended to have different purposes for different audiences. When I was a kid, my mum bought me the original droid and clone battle packs, because they were a cheap way for me to get a lot of minifigs, but refused to buy multiple of the same product. For adult collectors, with their own disposable income, they're great for army building. I'm going to be buying at least 10 of the upcoming 501st "battle pack" (not really a battle pack, but still) because I want to have at least a small battalion of those clones. But as a kid I'd be over the moon with just one of those sets.
It almost feels like they don't WANT you to Army Build anymore. It's a shame, all of my collections are army-building based. And technically, there's more than one IG-88.
@@CT---ty3lz In legends there were 4 IG-88s who worked together identified as IG-88A, IG-88B, IG-88C and IG-88D. IG-88B was the one on Vaders ship and cloud city. Boba Fett destroyed IG-88 B, C and D. IG-88A managed to hijack and transfer his memory banks into the death star core and took control of the station from within, but was blown up with the battle station.
MandR: I don’t like the senate commandos because they’re not rare anymore. Also MandR: Including the AT-AT driver opens a new door since it only appeared in a big set
The_Whologist yeah, but the guy here is correcting him. The old clones troopers had the “commander” figure with the 327th star corps trooper design, but people including the lego games called the figure commander Cody.
Lego: I think I'll let people get some cool jedi minfigures without needing to buy a set for hundreds of dollars, while also creating battle packs of just clones for people who just want to build an army. M&R: Unfortunately for you, history will not see it that way.
So, you want lego to make a 501st battlepack because they are super cool but very rare, but you hate senate commando troopers battlepack because senate commandos were cool and very rare? Logic
@@C0NSTANTINUS he means in terms of Minifigs/Lego. 501st default trooper has only ever come in one set (One in the 2013 AT-RT). But the Senate Commandos come in 4s in the BP, and in 2 other sets prior, therefore making them more common/accessible.
Eh, I don't mind the stud shooters. Most people that buy Lego sets are kids anyway, and you can get the old guns off of Brickowl for like 10 cents a piece. I just bought a BUNCH of them all at once, so I'm all set for future battle packs. :)
Except no one is building a senate commando army and we would rather them to just be nice cool figures, but everyone would want a 501st clone army and people want them in bulk
Same but most of mine got taken apart and ALL of my clone helmets and mandalorian helmets got chewed up by dogs. I now have the one that was ranked worst on here but I actually have clones now.
I was never an army builder, so I preferred the battle packs having unique characters. I even got the new clone battle pack just for the Ki Adi Mundi figure. But the Rebel and Stormtrooper battle packs from 2008 are definitely my favorites. Great figures that I was happy to get many of plus some good builds. My least favorite battle pack would be the First Order one that only came with one regular First Order stormtrooper.
Crystal Cove same I got two at the time but when I got it I took the arms out and swapped them through out the people so the green one had orange arms just no realizing why I cant find the clones from the sets
I really like the Senate commando battle pack. Although I respect your opinion, I believe that the commandos are awesome and putting them in a battle pack allowed a lot more kids to have access to them
@@nguyennnkhoui6590 they are mediocre to me because lego is targeted for kids and want play value but still look ugly but they are ok on bigger builds sometimes
I started watching this and was like ohhh yeah I bought that... And then throughout.... I got that as well!! Oh yhh and that!! Omggg I got that tooo! Wow I remember that!
The jedi battle pack builds your army, just not in a bulk way. It adds two of the harder-to-find Jedi. So it is still an army expansion, just one that you only need to buy one of.
Theyre making new clone wars episodes in February. If Lego doesn't make a 501st battlepack for the spring wave I'm actually going to strangle someone Edit: it's strangling time
1:06 army What about the droid attack on the wookies. What about the droid attack on the wookies. What about the droid attack on the wookies. What about the droid attack on the wookies. You get the point.
First: Assassin Droids. My literal first ever lego set that wasn't Duplo. Nostalgia. Second: Senate Commandos. Those dudes are way too cool and way too underrated. Also you can take my dislike for your slander against the Senate Commandos.
Glass Vader Same that with the barc speeder battle pack and hoth rebels battle back I got for Christmas as a kid as I got older I redid my room and had all my featured LEGO sets on shelf's and my mom put my small ones in plastic bags and boxes and labeled them I thank her now for doing that and hope to pass them on to my children or my little cousins.
Honestly it was far to be the first set I got but I loved it mostly for the turret and I created scenarios with that "rebel" army (yeah they were terrorists for me
5:44 I personally love the speeder and assassin droids. I'd swap their parts with other robot peices to have different models of assassin droids (ig88 was obviously the leader of the whole group. Also 7:11 I think unique characters are awesome in a battle pack, provided all the characters included are unique and different from each other. That battle pack looks incredible. Sure you can't build an army but it saves you from buying the big sets to get them.
Definitely agree with #1. Too bad #33 was nerfed with those Jedi, it had potential. I only got one, because of the Jedi. But as you said, the troopers are great!
Lewis MX It was supposed to be a forward command center, the one where Yoda meets the Clone Commander during the battle, it’s just that proportions are completely off
They’re generic Death Watch members. While I certainly played with one as a Jango as a kid, they were intended to give you Mandalorians (or, more specifically, Death Watch).
i LOVED jango but when mace windu killed him i was soo sad and was litterly crying ang HATED mace windu.Good he died in episode 3 but when he survived i hopu boba killed him h
I remember I had the old at-rt when I was like 4-6 years old. I was playing on my deck with it, and the helmet of the clone gunner fell through the deck. I cried, but I agree that its a sick battle pack.
There actually is a lot of IG-88 assassin droids in the star wars universe. Theres an entire factory and storage warehouse dedicated to creating and storing the droids.
I got 3 of them and I somehow have every helmet, head, body, and legs, a few were missing some arms but I had other blue ones, this was a surprise to find I still had all their jetpacks too, some of my clones werent as lucky as the mandos were though.

IG-88A managed to hijack and transfer his memory banks into the death star core and took control of the station from within, but was blown up with the battle station.

MandR: I don’t like the senate commandos because they’re not rare anymore.
Also MandR: Including the AT-AT driver opens a new door since it only appeared in a big set
"commander cody trooper" *cough* star corps *cough*
Isn’t the red one a coruscant guard clone?
@@huggebugg3694 yeah
Cody is 212th though, not Star corps
The_Whologist yeah, but the guy here is correcting him. The old clones troopers had the “commander” figure with the 327th star corps trooper design, but people including the lego games called the figure commander Cody.
327th star corps
But what about the droid attack on the Wookiees?
Whahaha lol 😂
Funny i will subscribe!

Keep talking
“The point is to make an army” “the rebels look weird” why do you dislike the pathfinders? They’re the coolest
Lego: I think I'll let people get some cool jedi minfigures without needing to buy a set for hundreds of dollars, while also creating battle packs of just clones for people who just want to build an army.
M&R: Unfortunately for you, history will not see it that way.
If it had 3 clones and 1 Jedi, I think it would have been near perfect.

So, you want lego to make a 501st battlepack because they are super cool but very rare, but you hate senate commando troopers battlepack because senate commandos were cool and very rare?
Logic
501st are not rare lol
you rarely see senate commandos in the shows / movies
@@C0NSTANTINUS he means in terms of Minifigs/Lego. 501st default trooper has only ever come in one set (One in the 2013 AT-RT). But the Senate Commandos come in 4s in the BP, and in 2 other sets prior, therefore making them more common/accessible.
@@C0NSTANTINUS hes talking about in sets
James Kutch you are too late to the convo
James Kutch and I know now
The old star wars blasters are so much better
Eh, I don't mind the stud shooters. Most people that buy Lego sets are kids anyway, and you can get the old guns off of Brickowl for like 10 cents a piece. I just bought a BUNCH of them all at once, so I'm all set for future battle packs. :)
I’m a kid and I hate stud shooters they are just big and bulky
Ryan: senate comando battlepack is bad, becuase before they were so rare and cool.
Also Ryan: We WaNt 501’St BaTtLePaCk.
Except no one is building a senate commando army and we would rather them to just be nice cool figures, but everyone would want a 501st clone army and people want them in bulk
@Days before Birds As in, buy them in bulk and get as many as possible
@Days before Birds Maybe. Might be good to try something new
@Days before Birds Yee
We want/got a 501et battlepack but it’s so dumb how he said senate commandos are ruined because a cool figure comes in a set to get more cool gigures
Me at 3 am seeing the thumbnail
I don't need sleep I need answers

THE FUTURE IS NOW, OLD MAN
"there's only 1 IG-88" well technically...
UnoReverseCard well I don’t wanna sound stuck up but there are 3 IG-88’s in the cannon universe
From my understanding, there's more than one IG unit, only one IG88
@@mudkip4633 Nope, there are technically 4 IG 88s, 88 A, B, C, D
THERE ARE THREE
@@mudkip4633 Yes IG88 is a specially modified version.
The assassin droid pack is such a good one, I don’t understand why it was rated so poorly :(
It's because his channel is really biased
Yeah he's super bias and he's very hypocritical.
That was my very first set and it’s placement was disappointing
Arc Trooper Jesse not really he said it was all his opinion, if he doesn’t like it he puts it lower on the list
@@LucasEdwards26 yeah but he contradicts himself all the time
I just realised how many battlepacks I actually own...😳
Me too. I almost have all of those.
Nick Obmann same I have 9
I really want 10:05
Same but most of mine got taken apart and ALL of my clone helmets and mandalorian helmets got chewed up by dogs. I now have the one that was ranked worst on here but I actually have clones now.
Sachme
I was never an army builder, so I preferred the battle packs having unique characters. I even got the new clone battle pack just for the Ki Adi Mundi figure. But the Rebel and Stormtrooper battle packs from 2008 are definitely my favorites. Great figures that I was happy to get many of plus some good builds. My least favorite battle pack would be the First Order one that only came with one regular First Order stormtrooper.
GDS Studios I agree with you the old battle packs are the best
GDS Studios I got that battle pack for Barris Offee
1 time at a yard sale thus lady was selling full bags of close troopers but a stupid kid hogged them all . I'm still mad till this day. 😤😲
GDS Studios I would say the last one is good I bought 2 or 3 packs
GDS Studios I loved those two sets the most too.
Mandrproductions: "I don't want an army of ki-adi mundi's"
Me: "I want every gun we have to fire on that man"
Lesser Known Characters In Battle Packs: *Exist*
MandRproductions: UNACCEPTABLE
Lesser known is fine, named characters or characters that don't belong in an army is the problem
13:51, that was my first ever lego set, those were the good old days with plenty of clone sets
That was my second the first was the original rebel troopers I finally found them for a decent Price it was 28 dollars for 9 of them
Wow, that was a good deal
That's my first one too
Crystal Cove sameee
Crystal Cove same I got two at the time but when I got it I took the arms out and swapped them through out the people so the green one had orange arms just no realizing why I cant find the clones from the sets
I really like the Senate commando battle pack. Although I respect your opinion, I believe that the commandos are awesome and putting them in a battle pack allowed a lot more kids to have access to them
I like how the Imperial Dropship battle pack went on to become a 20th Anniversary set.
Lets collect 3000 Stud shooters and sent them to lego with the words: WE DONT WANT STUD SHOOTERS
That's just a drop in the ocean lol.
i love stud shooters :'(
@@nguyennnkhoui6590 they are mediocre to me because lego is targeted for kids and want play value but still look ugly but they are ok on bigger builds sometimes
ChoKing HaZarD
ROAST BEEF it’s a opinion dumbass if you can’t respect that fuck yourself
When I was little, getting baseplates and putting crude structures on them and collecting battle packs would just add so much to a Lego fight
MandRproductions will be the next victim to fall to the Ki-Adi Mundi ARMY!!!! YOU ALL SHALL SEE!!!
BroGaming ZJGDude05 world conqueror 4
The one with the ARC trooper / commando droids and the Geonosian paratroopers one are still my favorite, don't @ me

@ThrawnGames
14:25 back when the battle packs actually came with regular blasters instead of the stud pop guns.
Commander thire
I started watching this and was like ohhh yeah I bought that...
And then throughout....
I got that as well!!
Oh yhh and that!!
Omggg I got that tooo!
Wow I remember that!
Mandr: *Says nothing bad about the 2011 mandalorian battle pack*
Me: *Rejoices in mandalorian*
This was the best. I got 4 of them.
They're amazing, one fo my favorite battle packs that I have.
Take a shot every time he says “battle pack”
YOUR GONNA GET US BOTH KILLED!
do you want me to die
@@smokey1188 maybe
The jedi battle pack builds your army, just not in a bulk way. It adds two of the harder-to-find Jedi. So it is still an army expansion, just one that you only need to buy one of.
Least favorite: Tatooine battle pack
Favorite: 501st battl- oh wait
Theyre making new clone wars episodes in February. If Lego doesn't make a 501st battlepack for the spring wave I'm actually going to strangle someone
Edit: it's strangling time
taloob doubt they will it’s extremely violent
taloob ok just don’t kill the hostage
I am from the future and I have good news.

With an army of ki adi mundis they could turn it into a mundi attack on the droids.
That last battle pack was the first LEGO set I ever got
same dude!

Garrett Which first order one?
The first one
Dang watching these, brought back memories. I had a bunch of these battlepacks and the 2007 and 2009 clone trooper battlepacks were my favorites
Not all battle packs were meant to be army builders you know
Exactly
90% are army builders though
Ikr
The first few said build your army enticing you to buy more
Mandalorian battle pack is the best
Spicy vehicle LEGO team 👌
But what about the droid attack on the wookies!
same that as one of my first ever lego sets
I made the comment 111 also I have the mandalorian pack
Bro I loved those man... nostalgia.
First: Assassin Droids. My literal first ever lego set that wasn't Duplo. Nostalgia.
Second: Senate Commandos. Those dudes are way too cool and way too underrated.
Also you can take my dislike for your slander against the Senate Commandos.
Brickmaster E Assassin droids were also my first set!
@@Jake-bp9dc mine also with the Nr. 1 shown in the vid

Yeah but when you get invincibility red brick...

The droid attack on the wookies
Hey hol up my full name is Admiral Spazz Sand!
9:48
That was my first ever lego star wars set I wish I had taken better care of it
Glass Vader Same that with the barc speeder battle pack and hoth rebels battle back I got for Christmas as a kid as I got older I redid my room and had all my featured LEGO sets on shelf's and my mom put my small ones in plastic bags and boxes and labeled them I thank her now for doing that and hope to pass them on to my children or my little cousins.
Honestly it was far to be the first set I got but I loved it mostly for the turret and I created scenarios with that "rebel" army (yeah they were terrorists for me
Same, I was so young tho, that at this point I only have 1 of the Minifigs left
Same here. I was looking through a old bag full of Legos but only a helmet and a jet pack were all the was left of the set. Bit sad
I have only 1 of the figures left, so I just pretend he is Jango Fett.
11:18 this was my first Star Wars LEGO set and also my favourite
PyroCircuit SAME,actually,I think this was my first Lego set...
Same 😂
This was my 2nd my first was the droid escape pod from the same year
Same
Same but it was my first ever set
I loved the senate troopers
Kevin Liu me too!
I also “loved” the Senate Troopers. However I stopped loving them after the battle pack came out lol
oh yeah you forgot a few battlepacks like the geonosian trooper battlepack
I wish there were more ep. 3 clone trooper battle packs
Kevin yes I wish too man.
5:44 I personally love the speeder and assassin droids. I'd swap their parts with other robot peices to have different models of assassin droids (ig88 was obviously the leader of the whole group. Also 7:11 I think unique characters are awesome in a battle pack, provided all the characters included are unique and different from each other. That battle pack looks incredible. Sure you can't build an army but it saves you from buying the big sets to get them.
Definitely agree with #1. Too bad #33 was nerfed with those Jedi, it had potential. I only got one, because of the Jedi. But as you said, the troopers are great!
Bro idk bout u but im soo hype for the new Clone Wars Lego sets coming out! Gonna be good. I hear they're making a 501st Battle Pack

Never actually thought anything about it🤔
The first battlepacks from 07 brought me into lego when i was 7. Best memories
I thought clones vs droidekas was a great set even though i didn't get it
RB Its a good set but the droidekas are just so half- assed
RB Why, the droidekas were garbage. And what was that random clone build supposed to be?
Lewis MX It was supposed to be a forward command center, the one where Yoda meets the Clone Commander during the battle, it’s just that proportions are completely off
Corn Marketman It looks like everything is off.
Lewis MX it's meant to be a smaller version otherwise it couldn't be in a battle pack
What about the 501st battlepack? 😂🤣
We would like to see a 501st battle pack
I’ll never forget the LEGO animated series that showed the “story” of that clone walker.
I can’t remember the names but it was great.
omg I remember that it was great I'll try and find it
@@Furno-hm8yp link to it if you find it lol
What are you talking about??? The senate commando battle pack is amazing!!!!
He was one of the few who had them in the Venator, so he's annoyed they are not rare anymore.
9:47 should be called the jango fett battle pack
:3 jango clones
They’re generic Death Watch members.
While I certainly played with one as a Jango as a kid, they were intended to give you Mandalorians (or, more specifically, Death Watch).
The mango fig has a lighter shade of blue in the arms these are the deathwatch members
imagine them all rushing at you saying “i’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the galaxy”
i LOVED jango but when mace windu killed him i was soo sad and was litterly crying ang HATED mace windu.Good he died in episode 3 but when he survived i hopu boba killed him h

I remember I had the old at-rt when I was like 4-6 years old. I was playing on my deck with it, and the helmet of the clone gunner fell through the deck. I cried, but I agree that its a sick battle pack.
We can all agree 10 years ago Lego Star Wars battle packs were without a doubt the best!
Take a drink each time he says "battle pack"
Also with the assassin droids, I'm surprised you didn't make note of there being five of them.
There actually is a lot of IG-88 assassin droids in the star wars universe. Theres an entire factory and storage warehouse dedicated to creating and storing the droids.
Jungle Dude yeah, then they all went a bit cra-cra
I used about 20 of the Resistance trooper battle packs to make a WWII MOC. They were some of my American soldiers
