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.
Im probably gonna buy 2 at most, theres a lotbof blasters that i want so i could put them on my remaining first order troopers Ill just use the rest of the parts for custom mininifigs and weapons
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. ✌🏻
@@deathwatch_9736 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.
This is way too expensive for what you're getting, but because it's a battle pack it's gonna sell like hotcakes... Which encourages them to keep this price. :/
I still feel that the 501st bp is to blame. That pretty much showed Lego that people will pay whatever price they put on battlepacks, simply because hey, battlepacks!
At odds with Lego’s commitment to reduce single use plastics in packaging. Really we should be seeing a shift to smaller packaging and paper bags inside.
@@rundownpear2601 that was an exclusive ninjago Christmas set for lego employees, the first retail set that will have them is the globe ideas set, so we’ll see how they’re truly received when that is fully released
Since I bought 12 snowtrooper battlepacks, I got quite a few snow banks from there. I used some for the Empire, and some for these Hoth rebels to hide behind.
The last proper rebel battle pack we had is way back in 2017 with the one from Rouge One it's unclear based on why we couldn't get a single battle pack for the rebellion I have several imperial figures in my collection and its very unbalanced with less rebels in my opinion.
best part of this set... the 6 laser blasters u get for free. if your replacing stud shooters laser blasters are like 1 buck each. so u build a army and replace some stud shooters win/win
@@Kronos327 you can get 3 uses out of the same rebel trooper head. Two with each of the faces, and another with the visors down. Easy. It's much better than it used to be with plain smily faces.
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. 2 stationary guns seem kinda lazy, I'd rather pay 5$ more and have a DF.9 turret instead with a more accurate 1.4 FD P-Tower.
I know LEGO is trying to push the UCS AT-AT but in my opinion they should’ve had imagery of the rebel trenches with the canon that is included in this set. I’ll get 2 once they’re actually available but that’s all.
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.
Nice little set. More important-am I the only one who counter the number of panels on the Death Star at the end of the new game trailer hoping it’s a sign of the $530 UCS set?
Yow.. the second face showing in the back is really bad. I never considered that would be a problem. maybe those white backpacks from the older ones would cover them up a little?
probably a pass but looks ok. can be used for a hoth battle post. would like to see something like this for the battle of endor if lego ever decides to release return of the jedi theme sets again.
I heard from someone say that you won’t be able to get this from stores in America, and I can’t find it on Amazon so where could I get this? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere
I like the set just the price is a little to much to but a lot. It’s great to see diversity with the figures everyone is different like the rebels are. Funny seeing people get mad about the diversity
I bought five snow trooper battle packs and a Hoth AT ST and I am planning to buy the smaller AT AT and the only rebels on my Hoth moc are Chewbacca and two rebel troopers so this battle pack trooper pack or whatever you wanna call it will make my Hoth moc a little more fair
Idk i guess im in the minority because I love this pack, and i dont mind the duplicate turrets in the slightest bc all i see is those 6 blasters as the feet lol already copped 3 my lego store is mad close so i just went back twice and did the same with the clones, u aint that slick lego 😎
Am I the only one who thinks, battle packs or now minifig packs, should include some 3-in-1 builds in them? So that if we buy 2-3 we get a bit of variety aside from the desired minifigs?
I really hope they follow this up with a snowspeeder I mean we got 5 hoth theme sets ((2 of which are at ats)) and only one of them being rebel focused? Also I hope they don't downsize the snowspeeder if they do follow it up lol
Now there really are two mistakes in both BP's, in rebel troops includes three minfigs but dobble faces can be seen behind the cap suit uniform and for the snow stormtroopers cost a twenty cash got now expensive, cause is more creative but no fair with four Minifigures.
aaaaand where's the snow speeder??? i mean they pull all the stops on the at-st the snow trooper battle pack and this minifig pack but no snow speeder? the true threat to the at-at
Why on the phase 2 clone troopers does lego not put holes on the sides of the helmet for a helmet accessory, as there were on phase 1 helmets. I would make a phase 2 Rex and Cody more accurate without having to make new molds. By the way, love the channel, keep posting great content.
Just was able to get one in the first shipment at the lego store, but not sure if I’m getting any more with the heads not being so generic and two sided faces
The faces peaking through the helmet is really a bummer for me. They should honestly recall and replace everyone’s sets. But we all know Lego wouldn’t do that, not today’s Lego anyways.
I was wrong. They weren't in stock at my place. :{ Also it's not like LEGO are action figures like hasbro. They could have included a variety of extra for those who want to play around and for those who want more generic and non-diverse looks.
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.

@@koreoprezzii true. I would only buy a few for the blasters. I rather say my 50 dollars for the 501st.
Agreed. I DO think the snow trooper one is very good. Bought it today.
2:09 same face that was used for kaz in vonreg's tie fighter
3:43 face is the same as the rebel trooper from the hoth at-st
Constructive criticism, you don’t need to say honestly and personally in the same sentence

Don’t worry about the battery packs not connecting to the turrets, they are blue tooth.
The 2nd faces showing could have been covered up if LEGO just gave them backpacks
Short rifles (x6) for the legs of the smaller guns. 🤯

For 15€, thats not value enough. Its plain and simple overpriced.

Just buy them off bricklink, dirt cheap

Yeah, LEGO keeps screwing us over
I still feel that the 501st bp is to blame. That pretty much showed Lego that people will pay whatever price they put on battlepacks, simply because hey, battlepacks!
The main down fall to me as a collector is the double faces showing the other face but at least we’re getting some rebel Hoth troops
Going to be a decent set.. when it’s available…
It’s starting to show up in store even though online says “coming soon”
Wait I’m really confused as I got in uk on the first of January so is it not available in America for some reason??
pretty much
At odds with Lego’s commitment to reduce single use plastics in packaging. Really we should be seeing a shift to smaller packaging and paper bags inside.
They tested paper bags in one set, forgot which, and the results were less then desirable. Seems like it will take some time.
Who cares about packaging? It’ll be okay
But I don't want my giant pile of plastic pieces to comes in plastic bags :P
@@rundownpear2601 that was an exclusive ninjago Christmas set for lego employees, the first retail set that will have them is the globe ideas set, so we’ll see how they’re truly received when that is fully released
@@mathewcurtis8484 im definitely curious about the paper bags. will have to keep an eye on that set. do you know when is it releasing btw?
Ah, those old Hoth Battlepacks are still so nostalgic
It would be a great set to part out and get those blasters.
i agree. if or when i get this set, i may build the dish turret but the smaller guns i wouldn't build so that i can get the blasters used as the legs.
I was honestly disappointed when the snow troopers didn't come with backpacks and now these too. The figures just look incomplete
Since I bought 12 snowtrooper battlepacks, I got quite a few snow banks from there. I used some for the Empire, and some for these Hoth rebels to hide behind.
You could equip the troopers with backpacks and that will cover up the double printed faces
2004 snowspeeder kicked ass. Probably my first Star Wars lego set
The last proper rebel battle pack we had is way back in 2017 with the one from Rouge One
it's unclear based on why we couldn't get a single battle pack for the rebellion I have several imperial figures in my collection and its very unbalanced with less rebels in my opinion.
I wish we got a plain rebel fleet trooper pack again or the Hoth one would be better if the characters weren’t all so different
@@shockzx7217 we need a home-one
best part of this set... the 6 laser blasters u get for free. if your replacing stud shooters laser blasters are like 1 buck each. so u build a army and replace some stud shooters win/win
4:25 most people will take the legs from the tripod guns and use them to arm figures that came in battle packs with stud blasters. Or at least I will
I was on the fence about this set but after seeing the faces below the helmets I think I’ll pass.
Yeah they’re sadly just too specific for army building imo 😞
@@Kronos327 they always will be now cause they gotta diversify the characters.
@@daddystamkos5900 it’s so stupid
Good thing clones still got their helmets and droids don’t have diversity

The helmet is like that because they were supposed to be used with backpacks. They should keep the helmet but add backpacks to the figs
I know LEGO is trying to push the UCS AT-AT but in my opinion they should’ve had imagery of the rebel trenches with the canon that is included in this set. I’ll get 2 once they’re actually available but that’s all.
the helmet was made to accomodate a back pack which would more or less cover the second faceprint but im not saying u r wrong
I also find it annoying that the rebels in the minifigure pack don't have backpacks, but the one included with the hoth at-st does
If they included backpacks, the price would go up another 5 bucks.
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.

If you buy 4 rebel packs and 3 snow trooper packs, you can get 12 troopers from each faction for $60 each.
Thank you mandr for making the pandemic less boring

The dish turret's official name is a P-Tower light repeater turret
Wireless batteries 💀😂
probably a pass but looks ok. can be used for a hoth battle post. would like to see something like this for the battle of endor if lego ever decides to release return of the jedi theme sets again.
It’s not as good as I would’ve liked but still super hyped
I know this isn't ask mandr but what r ur thoughts on p2 cody being in lego star wars the skywalker saga?? Also will u be playing it?
I never heard about *“da fence of Hoth.”*
We have been looking for more rebels. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to get the Hoth rebel minifig pack. Thanks for sharing.
I heard from someone say that you won’t be able to get this from stores in America, and I can’t find it on Amazon so where could I get this? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere
I like the set just the price is a little to much to but a lot. It’s great to see diversity with the figures everyone is different like the rebels are. Funny seeing people get mad about the diversity
Yeah I don't understand the hate. Probably just closet racists.
I personally think it's great. The rebel army should be very diverse.
The helmets were also made with a backpack in mind
Now that the pack is on sale for under $12.00, it’s a no-brainer IMO. Trying scoop up as many as I can
I bought five snow trooper battle packs and a Hoth AT ST and I am planning to buy the smaller AT AT and the only rebels on my Hoth moc are Chewbacca and two rebel troopers so this battle pack trooper pack or whatever you wanna call it will make my Hoth moc a little more fair
As someone who is collecting all the battle packs, are these technically battle packs?
Ill buy this set just for the extra guns used on the turrent legs.
Idk i guess im in the minority because I love this pack, and i dont mind the duplicate turrets in the slightest bc all i see is those 6 blasters as the feet lol already copped 3 my lego store is mad close so i just went back twice and did the same with the clones, u aint that slick lego 😎
I really love having more POC in Star Wars lego sets...makes it so much more diverse and interesting
The 20th anniversary Snow Speeder had a great dish gun
Minifig packs are $25 in australia 💀
Am I the only one who thinks, battle packs or now minifig packs, should include some 3-in-1 builds in them? So that if we buy 2-3 we get a bit of variety aside from the desired minifigs?
I really hope they follow this up with a snowspeeder I mean we got 5 hoth theme sets ((2 of which are at ats)) and only one of them being rebel focused?
Also I hope they don't downsize the snowspeeder if they do follow it up lol
Why does this set have no backpacks for the troopers in white jackets?
I just realized like a year later that the big guns have 3 small guns on them
Guys it's the assualt on hoth UCS set
Is this gonna be in anything other than LEGO Stores?
If u dont want the second faces then u can use gum on a face and five minutes after its gone
I need that Cody as a minifig in the summer wave from the skywalker saga game
Now there really are two mistakes in both BP's, in rebel troops includes three minfigs but dobble faces can be seen behind the cap suit uniform and for the snow stormtroopers cost a twenty cash got now expensive, cause is more creative but no fair with four Minifigures.
Honestly this was a best case scenario because for only $35 kids can play with rebels and snow troopers 😀
And it STILL isn't up on the Lego Store site
Already have 4 of em pretty good set
I like dish torrent like it is in 2010 at-at and in set 75014. That dish piece is like ment to be in that torrent
I just wanna say don't put open boxes outside for more than 15 minutes because lizards or frogs may get into them then escape in your bedroom.
aaaaand where's the snow speeder??? i mean they pull all the stops on the at-st the snow trooper battle pack and this minifig pack but no snow speeder? the true threat to the at-at
Thanks for the video but the pack comes with 2 turrets for what's it worth

Because that would be the smart thing to do, and the fans want it. So naturally lego won't do it.
@@TheAussieBrickMan lol
I hope this set is released soon…
I have yet to see either this set or the clone set in any store in my area. Lego isn't being helpful with their website either.
Do you think I should buy the snow trooper battle pack or the new clone trooper packs
Bro where did you get that? How? How did you get the clone trooper battle pack too?
Wow this into is really satisfying
Still showing as "coming soon" on the website for me. Not sure if California got these yet
Imma change those blaster cannons so I can use the guns they used for legs as guns lol
Just was able to get one in the first shipment at the lego store, but not sure if I’m getting any more with the heads not being so generic and two sided faces
Can you do a break down video on lego Star Wars the sky walker saga, I would love to see that
To bad they didn't include an additional Rebel Trooper or an Imperial Probe Droid.
They should of done leg printing instead of a second face
I’m confused why the legs of the cannon gun things are made out of little blasters. A gun made out of guns. It looks fine just weird to think about
They're making up for all the stud blasters they shoved into Battlepacks in the past. Just change the blasters out for another part and use the guns 😄
They should have back packs also.
The faces peaking through the helmet is really a bummer for me. They should honestly recall and replace everyone’s sets. But we all know Lego wouldn’t do that, not today’s Lego anyways.
Ayo lego is matching the torso with the helmet now?
So did Lego drop the clone idea for the rebel pack or are they making both figure pack
i don't understand how lego charges a premium for star wars minifigs while simultaneously refusing to include something as simple as a backpack.
Stupid question, but what camera are you using to film sets? Seems handheld yet very stable, love quality.
Canon M50. Used to use my iPhone which is better/easier for handheld stability but I wanted the better mic.
The worst thing is that battle packs get discounted. So in the end this is more expensive than the snowtrooper battle pack.
I am new to this so does that mean that we will not be able to get these sets on Amazon discounted?
I was able to purchase 3 on my local Lego store
Does anyone realize defense is mispelled
Awesome dude love the set
i just did something bad, i thought there was only 1 turret but there was 2, i threw out the extra pieces
Even if there was one, don’t throw out the extra pieces, keep them
I think this set is great, 3 good cannons and 3 figures)
M&R have you seen the phase 2 Cody in the skywalker saga trailer !!!!!!!!!!
Finally, someone else noticed that!
Those are the wireless battery packs for the modern age.
Arrived to me today. My nitpick: WHERE ARE THEIR BACKPACKS
Why e-web is different built in every pack xD
I think Thatcher is a radio
I was wrong. They weren't in stock at my place. :{ Also it's not like LEGO are action figures like hasbro. They could have included a variety of extra for those who want to play around and for those who want more generic and non-diverse looks.
Anyone from Australia able To find any of the sets?? I haven't been able to find any
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.

Not atm
Ask mandr: what’s your favourite starwars fig?
This set is very difficult to obtain in europe in any real quantity. Such a shame
This set worth 80+ bucks in Malaysia
