@@ItsNep Those were before I even got any Legos as a kid but I always thought they looked cool. You could probably order a bunch of the black megaphone pieces with red transparent studs from Lego for your army. I might do it just for the Lolz.
I kinda like the specific battle packs that are thrown in, for average people buying 2-3 getting a couple officers or crew members brings alot of life into the army
@@NiqRipple well if you think about recent sets; take imperial storm troopers for example, we’re getting the same trooper in a bunch of sets and not at many officers, like the tie fighter and the mech and the pervious imperial transport, less including officers, having diversity in officers is nice expecislly if they give multiple heads for us to mix and match, i would rather a battle pack have all troopers for sure but i don’t think they’re necessarily a deal breaker
I just bought one cause they were cool I didn’t know people hated it that much the set is sick as a 17 year old and ten years ago if I had bought that same battle pack as a 7 year old who loved the clone wars show, I would love them being special clones
@NiqRipple not if you just get a few sets. When I was a kid I would only get a few sets a year. So having figures that were unique was kinda cool. Though I would understand for army building why you wouldn't want that.
@@NiqRipple if it was a one officer to three trooper ratio im sure thatd be fine. Yeah most people want another trooper but stickin an officer in there aint gonna do no harm and helps diversify things.
I think the 2022 Snowtrooper Battle Pack is underrated. It was perfect for army building. I liked the Utapau battle pack but for me it's not no.1. My biggest issue are the 2 airborne troopers. They don't come in big numbers. Would have loved if we got 3 normal 212th troopers and one airborne
I can agree at the time I am writing this the snowtrooper battle pack is about to be discontinued. I’ve already bought 4. But plan on buying at 1 or 2 more.
@@Mockingjay-es9xl 7th Sky Corps consists of the 212th and many other units. The airborne troopers are from the 2nd Airborne company- there are only 144 of them.
I kind of hate the fact that the success of battle packs depends heavily on the stormtrooper/clone army building community. I wish we would be getting more unique ones, like alien battle packs: klatooinian raiders, wookiee warriors, quarren pirates, trandoshan hunters, etc.
@@Sashin-d8tI lost all respect for MandR when he made a video throwing a tantrum because he couldn’t get a set early from Target because it was street dated or whatever, he’s basically become the Optibotimus of Lego youtubers
The original Mandalorian battle pack was in my opinion, top 3 material. 4, troopers, none of which are specialized or anything, and outstanding builds. And they are perfect to build armies, the whole point of battle packs. You certainly couldn’t really do that with the new Mandalorian battle pack.
dude 100% agree. Mandalorians are the best part of star wars imo, better than every Jedi except master "hello there." I have 4 of the 2020 mandalorian battle pack, love the mandos, sure, but at the same time, they're all different, and part of the point of battle packs is army building, so it's kinda weird when you get a bunch of what should be completely individual mandalorians who are all living in one large pack in The Mandalorian show. It would be like seeing the same guy four times when you go for a walk. Don't get me wrong, the printing is better, I'm just sad I didn't capitalize when I was younger on the 2011 version. i was only 5 in 2011, which sounds crazy, but we actually got a deathwatch battle pack in 2013 or 2014, but then we traded them, as well as a phase 1 cody (I can get over that with my new phase 2 Cody) AND a phase 1 Rex, which I will never get over, makes me cry to this day. Man I'm so dumb. It took all throughout my freshmen, sophomore, and junior year of high school to collect 8 of those 2011 goodies, so in 2023, rolling into my senior year of high school, I only have 8. I'm thinking about bringing some of my mandos to my senior trip in Greece and Rome to do out-of-country photo shoots, ik it's cringey. Oh and also a Sicily beach storming scene with some world war two customs, I can't resist hehehe
17:24 I never understood why a lot of people overlook the fact that the battle damage scuffing print is identical. It would look so strange to build an army of Stormtroopers with perfectly identical scuffing. I think that fact really holds this pack back.
@Azact Well, at least then you could swap helmets and torsos and have 4 variations, but ultimately, I think just not having scuffing in the first place would make this a perfect pack
I love how some of the vehicles in Battlepacks are based on actual vehicles. The Tatooine Battlepack is my favorite of these, being quite obviously a SUPER scaled down Sandcrawler.
I always liked the Original Mandalorian Battle Pack because of the modifications you could make to some of the weaponry. The heavy blaster could easily be modified to be a dual-handed heavy blaster.
I feel like too many people are hating on the recent clone battle packs. The 332nd troopers and the 501st specialist clones BPs are great fir army building, have good builds, and cool figure selection to build armies with or just get 1 or two of for the cool and and currently rare and exclusive figures.
Its a bit annoying how heavily biased this is against first order battle packs. Whilst none of them are the best and they all came out in that window of time when battle packs weren't so great due to officer figures and whatnot, I feel that they were treated unfairly here just because of unnecessary sequel hate. A couple of these packs are genuinely better than ones higher on the list, such as the jedi and clone troopers battle pack, which seems to be shoved in higher than them just because of the "cLoNe TrOoPeR bEsT" mentality shared among far to many fans and were not correctly assessed based on their quality or army potential, and instead just thrown in the gutter because of clone trooper bias. I am by no means a first order fanboy and those sets should still be pretty low on the list, but some of them are still a lot better than their unfair rating here.
It’s not CLonE TrooPEr GOo Luke you say, because he puts a lot of the imperial/rebel sets very high. I agree they should be assessed on quality but maybe you are the one with a bias against clone sets because the quality of the builds and the figures are better
Wdym unnecessary sequal hate it’s 100% necessary they were ass and a quick cash grab from Disney they did nothing new not even the ships they were just ties and x wings but different colors the sequels were terrible
I still have my 212th figures, as well as the red ARC trooper and clone ordinance troopers all completely intact. I’m genuinely surprised I kept up with them as a kid and haven’t lost them, considering how much I played with them. Also still have my original Captain Rex that came with the AT-TE. My uncle got me that set for my 9th birthday.
* The Praetorian Guard battle pack is an alright idea, makes for a way to add on to the showdown. * I don't mind the Bounty Hunter Bike. The occasional character pack among the normal battle packs isn't a bad idea, and it's nice to have a cheap option for characters like that (same for the Jedi and Clone Troopers pack). Beefing it up to $20+ would have completely missed the point of making it in the first place, same for the Death Star Troopers (where the idea is to inexpensively bulk up both the gunners and the Emperor's guards). * I don't think I've seen the dual-molded helmets in person yet. Are they worse than the original Phase II clone helmets? * Until they appear in something canon I'd put the Shadow Troopers pack well below anything from the Sequel Trilogy. Ye gods am I glad that The Force Unleashed is no longer canon. Galen Marek was such a God Mode Gary Stu. People who moan about Rey could use some perspective. * 75001 is also trash in my book. I've never been a fan of the Old Republic MMO, and that pack hogged a spot that could have gone to getting some Rebel troops instead. I'd put it at the absolute bottom. * I'm pretty sure most people aren't remotely bothered by the helmet holes. They're tiny and easy to overlook when not occupied, and avoid the need to have different helmet molds just for the sake of having add-ons. * I disagree with you saying the ARF Trooper didn't belong in a battle pack. I think he totally did - a battle pack of multiple ARF Troopers woulda been better though :P Just like we need a mixed-legion Phase II AT-RT Driver pack. * 75078 was beautiful - a full set of plain Stormtroopers. * That new Snowtrooper pack is good, although I like the motortrike-based speeder bike from the 2010 version better. * I'd have put the Droids Battle Pack below 7655 due to it being Super-biased. * IMO Kashyykk Troopers > Utapau Troopers, for two reasons. One is that in the case of Kashyykk Troopers, the 50/50 split is a lot more appropriate than it is for Utapau Troopers since so many of the 41st were in Scout-type armor in that battle (I think they actually outnumbered those in standard armor). The other is that Utapau Troopers' build should have been a Crab Droid instead of a Tri-Droid: the Tri-Droid is a background footnote on Utapau, whereas the Crab Droid is highlighted in a memorable shot of a 212th trooper jumping onto one and drilling it to death with full auto. ** What is it they have over the 2022 versions in your book? The orange sleeves?
My regret is that I wasn't able to get many of these battle packs when they came out due to school and having quit LEGO during those years. On another note, I would like to point out three things about some of the lower battle packs: The Sith Troopers Battle Pack's bigger flaw is that the Jet troopers' helmets pop off very easily. The Jedi and Clone Troopers one should've had two nameless jedi like "Jedi Bob" for Jedi army building and customization. The Inferno Squad could've had an extra helmet for Iden Versio so that you could hide the only visible named character for a larger 'battalion' of elite commandos.
Me personally, I think the old republic battle pack is superly underrated! No one ever talks about it! (Some don't even know about it!) it's comes with I think Atleast 2 exclusive minifigures with a really good custom machine gun! Although yes it's kinda impractical to army build with, the minifigures are kinda cool in my personal opinion!
I would've put the Barriss and Ki-Adi battlepack at or closer to the very bottom, since they are the worst for army building. Their jedi robes aren't even generic enough to be used on normal jedi. Only two clones aren't enough to really army build either. Unfortunately, the Bounty Hunter and Tatooine sets would be near the bottom as battlepacks, though they are solid sets
Technically the Inferno Squad battle pack was not the only set from Battlefront II: the 501st Specialist battle pack was definitely designed from Battlefront II
It kinda feels like you put the 2 newer clone battle packs super low just to spite people who like them. Like dude, you're literally getting 4 clone minifigs of the same battalion with some of the greatest battle pack builds ever. Just because the helmet holes look kinda bad? They literally make your whole battlepack super customizable cuz you can mix and match with the other battle pack and have the 332nd with the macro binoculars and blue visors.
Dawg just because they’re low doesn’t mean they’re bad. All the battle packs after like 30th place are good sets. Just because there’s a large amount of other battle pack better than them doesn’t make them bad.
@@fivelonelyclones dude the ones above them tho aren't that great. Like the one with 2 bomb squad troopers isn't that good like who's gonna build an army of bomb squad troopers. Also the one you picked for number 1 has like a terrible build.
I would hardly say the snow trooper pack builds are worse than the mini AV-7, maybe the E-web, but the speeder bike is perhaps the best 74-z we have ever gotten
I hated the stud shooters that came with the battlepacks and really liked the actual blasters. Granted when they introduced stud shooters I kinda outgrew lego and was moving on and wasn't buying sets but I remember as a kid I didn't need stud shooters just your imagination.
if you don't buy battle packs for massive army building all of the first order packs are excellent in terms of minifig selection. its also hard to take anything you say seriously when it comes to sequel sets considering your clear disdain for them. justifying your placements using what "people" want based on set prices today is also kind of dumb, and not really always related to quality
I think knocking points for including officers/crew members is kinda dumb not gonna lie man. I understand that you’d want the majority of the figures to be just standard issue infantry or whatever, but having a whole army without officers/crew is just… bland. Still, great video man! I’ve been enjoying your content way more than most Lego/Lego Star Wars channels recently. Personally my favorite battlepack is 7655, the clone speeder one from way back. I love the designs and because I’m kind of a Lego Star Wars boomer, those Phase II troopers are my favorite design by far. Also, 7667 and 7668 (imperial drop ship and the rebel speeder from ‘08) were my second and third Lego sets ever :) I got em both at the same time from Wallyworld lol. First ever Lego set was the Hailfire Droid from around the same time. Memories…
Hey about the geonosis trooper battle pack? Those are in star wars. They are from one of the biggest battles of the clone wars the second battle of geonosis which is a pretty big arc of the clone wars show where we see them quite a bit.
@@anangryhessianhe’s talking about the flame troopers and the arf troopers. They had custom armor that was reddish brown camouflage. Nothing like what comes in the set
I have only the 332nd clones and the 501st Battle Packs. Personally I really like them mainly because I’m a Clone Wars/501st Legion stan so yeah and it was a nice 45 minutes to build each of them
Some of the sequel battle packs are actually pretty good. Ik the movies were a flop, but they were pretty good sets like the sith trooper and the transport speeder.
I got 2 of the original 501st battle packs and 2 of the new one and it suits me pretty well because I also have Obi Wan, Darth Maul, Anakin Skywalker, Ashoka, Palpatine, and a very good custom Darth revan
The Utapau trooper battle pack set was actually my first Lego battle pack I bought from Legoland Malaysia. Glad its on the no.1 top spot. I think the biggest regret in buying the battle packs as part of my collection is buying the First Order battle packs. Even though they could have had potential for people to buy if the sequels didn't suck.
A couple years ago I got the 2007 clone battle pack for $35, it wasn’t sealed but every part was in MINT condition EDIT: I put an og pauldron on the Star corps trooper to make it worth $40+ dollars so I got all my money back off one figure
Praetorian guard battle pack was HARDCORE underrated “Despite the helmet holes” “Despite that it’s from the sequels” “Despite the dual molded helmets” Bro does not have free thought
Don't hate on the unique battle packs like the bounty hunter BP. Great way to get a nice selection of figures for cheap. Not everyone is into army building. Not every BP set is for army building. Accept it!
I like the video and your content as a whole, but honestly using just "it's a sequel set" as a reason for why a set is bad just seems lazy. Like, I don't like Episode 2 but I'll never use that as a reason for why a set like The Republic Gunship. It's a great set despite the movie.
I hate army builder. battelpack is good for army builder but whay you must buy 10 of them? Bounty hunters and Inferno squad is good sets because is cheap to buy very cool characters in cheap price
The battle pack with the ark trooper and the red arf trooper and the droid commandos, I had the helmet of the ark trooper somehow and my friend printed decals for the rest of the body
The old republic battle pack was my first Star Wars set i ever got and I honestly like it, sadly tho the legs and torso for both Sith troopers are gone.
Weird ranking. For me every BP that include only 2 regular troopers or more than 1 specialist goes straight down to the last rank. Wtf I am gonna do with as much imperial officers as stormtroopers ? Why half my army should be made of scouts or airborne troopers when I just need a small specialised squad ?
lol, that’s exactly what I was telling my friend. He missed out on the 501st BP and he bought a bunch of the 501st Specialist BP and I’m like you got a lot of officers with no men to lead. Luckily the 332nd released so I guess his 501st officers have some soldiers to lead. I actually had barely any officers/ leadership type figures for my imperial army. I snagged a few from the Obiwan sets and Bricks & Minifigs (tho some are pricey there so I stayed with the 6-7$ officers)
17:29 why they did that is because in 2015s star wars battlefront, if you died many times in match, your character would start to look scuffed. Just a cool detail i wanted to point out for the game and this set 👌🏻😁
That’s not true, read their wookieepedia article. The only source is the lego set. And in the behind the scenes section it says that’s where they were first introduced. And there were definitely no geonosis troopers that Disney made legends. You’re probably just thinking about the flame troopers and arf troopers that were shown in the clone wars whos armor had a dark orange and yellow color scheme.
I Actually have the number 1 battle pack. No clue where it went but it is probably disassembled, although I could meticulously reassemble it with pieces from my Lego bins to display.
i bought most of my Stormtrooper collection of Ebay, so its weird seeing where all my minifigures come from. For instance, those First Order guys in the black armour i got as a FREE GIFT from one nice Ebay guy, so its weird seeing them in their proper set.
I don’t hate this list however I think the bounty hunter battle pack and the Jedi battle pack should be in the last two places. The concept of a battle pack is to buy multiple and build an army. I don’t think anyone wants 40 ki-adi-mundi
My only gripe with a majority of these sets is the stud shooters. I would prefer if Lego just stuck with the their traditional blasters
Yes!
I think they look cool but ive never seen them in person. Im kind of neutral I guess
I liked the stud shooters when they first came out, but then they started putting them into every battle pack
thats fair but at the same time to me they always seemed like a call back to the classic blaster. I miss that old megaphone design.
@@ItsNep Those were before I even got any Legos as a kid but I always thought they looked cool. You could probably order a bunch of the black megaphone pieces with red transparent studs from Lego for your army. I might do it just for the Lolz.

Technically the Inferno Squad battle pack was not the only set from Battlefront II: the 501st Specialist battle pack was definitely designed from Battlefront II
It kinda feels like you put the 2 newer clone battle packs super low just to spite people who like them. Like dude, you're literally getting 4 clone minifigs of the same battalion with some of the greatest battle pack builds ever. Just because the helmet holes look kinda bad? They literally make your whole battlepack super customizable cuz you can mix and match with the other battle pack and have the 332nd with the macro binoculars and blue visors.
Dawg just because they’re low doesn’t mean they’re bad. All the battle packs after like 30th place are good sets. Just because there’s a large amount of other battle pack better than them doesn’t make them bad.
@@fivelonelyclones dude the ones above them tho aren't that great. Like the one with 2 bomb squad troopers isn't that good like who's gonna build an army of bomb squad troopers. Also the one you picked for number 1 has like a terrible build.
Its his own opinion. So if you disagree thats ok. But dont say anything about other people just because you are not the same opinion with
I would hardly say the snow trooper pack builds are worse than the mini AV-7, maybe the E-web, but the speeder bike is perhaps the best 74-z we have ever gotten
@@EtherealGlint41 I said a few of them are. I agree that the snowtrooper battle pack is pretty good. But like there are some that are just not it.
I hated the stud shooters that came with the battlepacks and really liked the actual blasters. Granted when they introduced stud shooters I kinda outgrew lego and was moving on and wasn't buying sets but I remember as a kid I didn't need stud shooters just your imagination.
Wasn't the Utapau troopers battle pack first to introduced stud shooters?
For everyone who dont get it. This is his own choice. If you disagree dont be a a**hole and blame him or something
8:25 this was my first Lego Star Wars set! Set off a pretty bad addiction unfortunately lol
Number 12 was my first lego star wars set I believe. Amazing little set
I really wanna see u rank every CW set when the Venator and gunship come out!
This is a mid rating, i don’t understand why the sequels sets have to be that low.
Cuz they suck. That’s why
if you don't buy battle packs for massive army building all of the first order packs are excellent in terms of minifig selection. its also hard to take anything you say seriously when it comes to sequel sets considering your clear disdain for them. justifying your placements using what "people" want based on set prices today is also kind of dumb, and not really always related to quality
I think knocking points for including officers/crew members is kinda dumb not gonna lie man. I understand that you’d want the majority of the figures to be just standard issue infantry or whatever, but having a whole army without officers/crew is just… bland. Still, great video man! I’ve been enjoying your content way more than most Lego/Lego Star Wars channels recently. Personally my favorite battlepack is 7655, the clone speeder one from way back. I love the designs and because I’m kind of a Lego Star Wars boomer, those Phase II troopers are my favorite design by far.
Also, 7667 and 7668 (imperial drop ship and the rebel speeder from ‘08) were my second and third Lego sets ever :) I got em both at the same time from Wallyworld lol. First ever Lego set was the Hailfire Droid from around the same time. Memories…
Hey about the geonosis trooper battle pack? Those are in star wars. They are from one of the biggest battles of the clone wars the second battle of geonosis which is a pretty big arc of the clone wars show where we see them quite a bit.
I believe the issue is they were still phase one during the second battle of geononsis
@@anangryhessianhe’s talking about the flame troopers and the arf troopers. They had custom armor that was reddish brown camouflage. Nothing like what comes in the set
I have only the 332nd clones and the 501st Battle Packs. Personally I really like them mainly because I’m a Clone Wars/501st Legion stan so yeah and it was a nice 45 minutes to build each of them
Some of the sequel battle packs are actually pretty good. Ik the movies were a flop, but they were pretty good sets like the sith trooper and the transport speeder.
I made the first comment, but now it’s gone!?
I disagree with a few battle packs, but overall I agree.
Btw, very good video 👍
Swap the mando battle packs and it’s a good list🗿
Dude imperial patrol battle pack is the GOAT, patrol troopers are the best lego star wars figures maybe ever.
I got 2 of the original 501st battle packs and 2 of the new one and it suits me pretty well because I also have Obi Wan, Darth Maul, Anakin Skywalker, Ashoka, Palpatine, and a very good custom Darth revan
The First Order/Sequel hate is insane. Ain’t no way you put named battle pack characters above these sets
🤯
Probably because they were a lifeless carbon copy of the original trilogy
I admit the sith troopers are dope though
@@albertthebird7835this is a ranking of sets not movie quality
It'd be cool if they made a shore trooper one, love their armor wish there was more of them
It's morbin' time

When i was a kid i had the mandalorian battle pack, the first hoth snowtrooper battle pack and the bomb squad clone trooper battle pack
The Utapau trooper battle pack set was actually my first Lego battle pack I bought from Legoland Malaysia. Glad its on the no.1 top spot.
I think the biggest regret in buying the battle packs as part of my collection is buying the First Order battle packs. Even though they could have had potential for people to buy if the sequels didn't suck.
I really want a night sister battle pack but I don’t think it’ll happen
As a kid I could never stay focused to build a Lego set. But I always loved playing with the figures so my mom got me a lot of these… thanks mom!
4:57 - if I want to re-create that mass speeders jousting scene in the 2003 Clone Wars, this would be the battle pack I would buy.
18:28 i think this battle pack is ovverated. I wouldn't want to army build them because the clones look ugly
First
I had to do it
Fair anoff
I was first, but my comment isn’t showing up?
A couple years ago I got the 2007 clone battle pack for $35, it wasn’t sealed but every part was in MINT condition
EDIT: I put an og pauldron on the Star corps trooper to make it worth $40+ dollars so I got all my money back off one figure
How are the Jawas not in last place?
Because they’re hard asf
@@fivelonelyclones same
Praetorian guard battle pack was HARDCORE underrated
“Despite the helmet holes”
“Despite that it’s from the sequels”
“Despite the dual molded helmets”
Bro does not have free thought
Literally felt like I was listening to a braindead guy yapping for half an hour
Just because it’s the sequels doesn’t make it bad and the helmet holes aren’t bad
Don't hate on the unique battle packs like the bounty hunter BP. Great way to get a nice selection of figures for cheap. Not everyone is into army building. Not every BP set is for army building. Accept it!
I like the video and your content as a whole, but honestly using just "it's a sequel set" as a reason for why a set is bad just seems lazy. Like, I don't like Episode 2 but I'll never use that as a reason for why a set like The Republic Gunship. It's a great set despite the movie.
I hate army builder. battelpack is good for army builder but whay you must buy 10 of them? Bounty hunters and Inferno squad is good sets because is cheap to buy very cool characters in cheap price
The battle pack with the ark trooper and the red arf trooper and the droid commandos, I had the helmet of the ark trooper somehow and my friend printed decals for the rest of the body
The old republic battle pack was my first Star Wars set i ever got and I honestly like it, sadly tho the legs and torso for both Sith troopers are gone.
Bro this isnt a fair ranking. Its only a OG Ranking. The New Clone troopers are so much better than the old one
Man patrol trooper battle pack getting disrespected (it’s my 2nd favorite like 7th best)
That’s crazy, I bought a ton of the droid battle pack, assassin droid, og madolorians and the rebel fleet trooper packs growing up lol
7:16 **both the 501st battle packs including special clones from battlefront 2**
Bro, battles packs aren’t meant to be bought in big numbers. Why do you think they only have like 5 of them in shops?
Anything sequel related would be in the bottom. Some of the figures look cool but man the movies drained my enthusiasm.
God, if only I had begged my dad to get me more than one of those elite trooper battle pack
5:58 i have this set
EDIT: 9:29 I have this set too
ANOTHER EDIT: 15:00 This set too
Well I guess I have 10 of the best battle pack ever
Weird ranking. For me every BP that include only 2 regular troopers or more than 1 specialist goes straight down to the last rank. Wtf I am gonna do with as much imperial officers as stormtroopers ? Why half my army should be made of scouts or airborne troopers when I just need a small specialised squad ?
lol, that’s exactly what I was telling my friend. He missed out on the 501st BP and he bought a bunch of the 501st Specialist BP and I’m like you got a lot of officers with no men to lead. Luckily the 332nd released so I guess his 501st officers have some soldiers to lead. I actually had barely any officers/ leadership type figures for my imperial army. I snagged a few from the Obiwan sets and Bricks & Minifigs (tho some are pricey there so I stayed with the 6-7$ officers)
Wait people don't like the dual molded stormtrooper helmets? Those are actually goated.
I like the praetorian guard Battle pack😅
17:29 why they did that is because in 2015s star wars battlefront, if you died many times in match, your character would start to look scuffed. Just a cool detail i wanted to point out for the game and this set 👌🏻😁
Fact check: the Geonosis troopers WERE canon, but Disney made them Legends material when they bought Star wars
That’s not true, read their wookieepedia article. The only source is the lego set. And in the behind the scenes section it says that’s where they were first introduced. And there were definitely no geonosis troopers that Disney made legends. You’re probably just thinking about the flame troopers and arf troopers that were shown in the clone wars whos armor had a dark orange and yellow color scheme.
7:27 The memories, is so alirn seing my first lego set getting a remake.
7:19 The new 501st Battle pack is based on BF2
I had the rebel trooper snd snow trooper battle packs as a kid
9.25 how are you so high!!!😱😭
Getting 2 waist capes for 13 dollars and not the 650 dollar venator shows what has happened to Lego itself
They should have made a clone commando battle pack
Clone battle packs are the best ‼️🐐
You forgot the other 501st Battlepack with the AT-RT and speeder
Not a traditional battle pack
I think the Jedi and stormtroopers battle pack is cool but I agree it's pretty bad for army building
I personally would have put the 2007 clone battlepack higher on the list as it is the original battlepack, and really set the new product line off
Nice video just it’s a little long
I got a tatooine battle pack and luke's landspeeder for my 2019 sandcrawler. I don't really regret it and it looks great
I Actually have the number 1 battle pack. No clue where it went but it is probably disassembled, although I could meticulously reassemble it with pieces from my Lego bins to display.
Ranking is good but the prices are soo wrong
I find it funny cause i own 7 of the 41-31 battle packs and unlike yall i actually enjoyed every single one of them
Suggestion I think you should visualize the rankings on screen to make it easier to remember where we are. But good vid :)
Just look at the chapters
@@fivelonelyclones that’s fair
i bought most of my Stormtrooper collection of Ebay, so its weird seeing where all my minifigures come from. For instance, those First Order guys in the black armour i got as a FREE GIFT from one nice Ebay guy, so its weird seeing them in their proper set.
btw the Geonosis troopers were part of the second battle of Geonosis in The Clone Wars.
No you’re thinking of the flame troopers and arf troopers, they have different colored camouflage
This reminds me of the old time when I didn’t knew what Star Wars was and destroyed the battle pqcks
17:05 i did not know this set existed lol (:
I don’t hate this list however I think the bounty hunter battle pack and the Jedi battle pack should be in the last two places. The concept of a battle pack is to buy multiple and build an army. I don’t think anyone wants 40 ki-adi-mundi
Exactly bro
I’m probably the only person that likes the Dual Molded Stormtrooper helmets
Ah, there are two of us now!
