    Honestly, personally, this pack isn’t as interesting as I once thought of. The faces are reused, and although it is nice to have more rebel troopers, I think I’ll just get one of them instead of the plentiful amounts that the clone pack would bring joy to me.

    Definitely a very good little set but the price point is the most disappointing part of the set. The figs and build are nice but nothing to get over excited over. Will be interesting to see if the summer wave has something to make this set more of a compelling purchase, like the UCS AT-AT and snowtrooper Battle Pack.

    Short rifles (x6) for the legs of the smaller guns. 🤯
    Think of all those battle packs we’ve had (in the past few years) where all the figures had for weapons was a bulky stud-shooter.
    THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is where the value is to be found in this set and that is why it’s always out of stock. ✌🏻

      Personally, I’d argue that you can’t put a price on knowing that the short rifles you’ve attained are both: 1) genuine Lego; and 2) not coming from another set that now leaves a mini-figure without their own short rifle (assuming, karmically, you care about such things).
      That said, though they are generic, I think the three mini-figures (themselves with long rifles) constitute a fair price for the set. Anything you can find in addition to that is where you find the greater value.

    it's fine, you're getting it for minifigs mainly and they are varied enough to make it work with 3-5 sets. Turret is the most disappointing since it's just not lore accurate to the 1.4 FD P-Tower.

  • @paulsnell534
    @paulsnell534 2 года назад +1

    I like it myself. It is a little expensive for what it is though. The positives though I think are there is no stud shooters. you also got 2 types of body, two types of legs and 3 types of head, 2 of which are double faced so you got plenty of options to mix and match the rebel troopers. Also you won't need 2 "E-Web" cannons for every 3 rebel troopers so you got some spare parts and also some spare guns to replace your stud shooters from other battle packs. You could also use the spare power packs for the E-Webs you don't use for the Snowtrooper Battle pack "E-Webs". So I am already finding a lot of utility from these packs I may get 5-6 of them. I'll just buy 1 or 2 every time I plan to buy another Lego set at my store.

      Nope, they did the same thing last year with the golden Zane mini fig pack...it said coming jan 1st, until on January 1st midnight same thing, it changed to coming soon, for about 9 months, then just said out of stock. I have a bad feeling about this.

    Any idea when a snowspeeder may be coming out? I missed out on the last versions.

    This set is very difficult to obtain in europe in any real quantity. Such a shame
