ReZourceman Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Ra Okay so I was in Milton Keynes, about to leave, when I noticed Ahsokas starfighter on the shelf! "That wasn't there earliar" I thought to myself. I didn't buy it because I thought it was bad value (£29.74 ish) Then I noticed a few more 2009 sets....wow! THEN an employee walked towards me with a stack full of Shuttles. I was very happy, and snapped one off his hands. I also was lucky enough to get Vaders TIE, Clone Pack, and the Castle Market Village. 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack £9.74 Suprisingly good. Tiny DSS. Good figures. Walker is suprisingly good. As you can see we get the Clone Gear in black. It looks great! Build - Its a battle pack so....5/10 Value - £2.50 per clone...not too bad. 8/10 Figures - Awesome clone gunner. And three others. 9/10 Overall - Pretty amazing. I'll be getting a few more for the figures. 9/10 Now for the pizza resistance. Edited December 21, 2008 by KimT Indexed and poll added Quote
KimT Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Perfect. I'll add this to the index. Great job Quote
Millacol88 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Another great review of a set my area won't see for about a month or two...the clone gear looks a lot better in black rather than gray. The gunner has interesting head markings, and I can see that figure going for big bucks online a couple of years down the road.I'll buy two for myself and another to sell once they disappear out of stores. Once again, great review! Quote
Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?! Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Great set, good review, love it! Quote
KinGanon Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Nice review! Definately a must have set! Quote
GloriusShadow Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Again,fair review. Well I love this set and that walker is not an AT-RT ! And I havent noticed that those accesories were black. I already painted one of mine,because I needed it to my Death Star Vader. I love this set! Quote
Nirdian Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I absolutely LOVE this set and just can't wait to buy like 4 or something... I really need them gunners for my R. Gunship (In which them money-hungry bastards only put 2 effin' clones). Quote
Oky Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Damn. I was just about to post a review of this BP. Oh well. Maybe I can still be the first to review the other BP. This is a very nice BP. The exclusive gunner is cool, and it's interesting to get the clone gear in black. I only wish that there was just one more blaster included so that you would have the option of turning the commander/captain into an infantry clone. You can still make a normal clone out of him, but unless you give him the blaster of the gunner, you can only use him to drive the walker or man one of your other Republic vehicles. The walker itself isn't too bad either, but it still looks a bit strange. Nice to get bley cheese slopes! Is it just me, or do the flick-fire missiles in these new BPs hold much tighter inside the technic holes than previous ones? They don't look any different. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not. On one hand, they hold better in place and don't fall out, but on the other, it's really hard to flick them now. Oh well, who cares for flick-fire missiles anyway. I have two of this set and plan on buying many more in the future! Edited December 21, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
KimT Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Damn. I was just about to post a review of this BP. Oh well. Maybe I can still be the first to review the other BP. By all means do so. A 2nd and 3rd review are always more than welcome. Also reviewing the other new CW sets would be awesome. Quote
Oky Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 By all means do so.A 2nd and 3rd review are always more than welcome. Also reviewing the other new CW sets would be awesome. I thought that you might say that. Well, seeing as this review lacks some details, I might do one after all. (No offense, ReZourceman) The only other new set I got is the assassin droid BP. I'll be sure to make a review for that as well, even though it's already opened. Quote
ReZourceman Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 Well, seeing as this review lacks some details, I might do one after all. (No offense, ReZourceman) None taken whatsoever. :) I can't recall if I editted it out, but the review was more substantial (bar photos) but literally ONE photo away from posting Internet Explorer decided that when I pressed return (and I was definitely in the text box) it decided to push me to a random thread. Then I clicked back and it hadn't saved the post, as it did on IE previously. I was...furious. But yeah. Id love to see your review. Quote
AgentRick Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Cool set, but I would have perfered the clone armor in the normal gray instead of black. Quote
legopiotre Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I only wish that there was just one more blaster included so that you would have the option of turning the commander/captain into an infantry clone. You can still make a normal clone out of him, but unless you give him the blaster of the gunner, you can only use him to drive the walker or man one of your other Republic vehicles. Are we only getting three normal guns plus two of the small ones ?? I wished we would get one extra gun like in the other clone sets, I am needing them to replace my droid guns ! Nevertheless, thank you for the review ReZourceman, it is always good to have more detailed pictures in order to know what we will get hopefully soon. Quote
kidcharm Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Just an average set, but nice to have available. I saw some at one of the TRUs, here in Cincinnati. Thanks for the review! Quote
RangePage Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Wow ! Thanks for the review ! And those green "chair seats"+ all the armor and pistol components in black, nice touch. And is the special Clone with the Gold-colored Helm some sort of special Clone ? Quote
pr0visorak Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Great review! I cant wait to get one myself! Quote
Commander_Rob Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Good review and a GREAT set, I just want to have this thing now. They could (as others have mentioned) included a fourth gun though, maybe even a rifle. Quote
Eskallon Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 My nearest lego store is milton keynes so I will be visiting soon to pick up at least one clone wars set. Anyway nice review of this battle pack although there was not much to review as it is a small set. Quote
Wout Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Thank you for the nice review. The figs looks good. Is the Walker a bit stable? Quote
ROCON Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Eh may only get 4 or 5 of these. Thanks on the great review though. ;) Quote
Walter Kovacs Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I think this set redefines what a BP should be: a decent vehicle and a good selection of minifigs. I plan on buying many (read: 6) to fill some empty spaces in my RGS (and , perhaps, AT-TE). The one question that springs to mind is this: do we need to have the clone gear included in every CW set? I thought the pauldrons and skirt were only for the captains and/or commanders. And I can't imagine many clones wielded the dual pistols. The headgear would be rather common, though. Just my two cents. Quote
Ratshot Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 These ar GREAT.I intend to buy at least 2 of these maby more.There defenatly wort 12.99 Quote
Bricklanta Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Wow the gear is in black now :D. I'll probably buy like 3 since they're only 10$. My Toysrus had a lot of Tie Fighters, but they didn't have Ahsoka's Starfighter. When is it coming out? Quote
Ras 74 Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I like this Walker better then the older one. it is a bit slimer. I will however remake the new once so they look closer to what they do in Ep. III. When are those seen in the CW series that is doubled seated? -Ras- Quote
