I think this is partly (not wholly) why we constantly see demand for clone BPs. Everyone has their favourite legion of clones that they want to build, be that 41st, 212th (woo!), 327th, 501st, whatever, which is totally fair - but of course not everyone can have a pack at the same time. 501st collectors will be happy now, but all the other legion collectors are left with cold feet.

To add to that, clone BPs don't have to be legion-themed; after all, there are plenty of coloured stormtrooper variants as well (flametrooper, shock trooper, mortar trooper, etc). There are plenty of regs outside of the clones with painted armour, especially phase 1 armour (although I assume you're talking about phase 2). Personally I'd like to see more regular, plain P2 clones - we've only seen *one* with the new helmet mould. That is what the army building should boil down to.

I 100% agree with you on plain shiny Phase 2 Clones in a battlepack. The one they released in 2014 that for some reason never got used in a set again now costs more than 10$ by himself! Getting 4 of them would be great idea for bp.

Or more realistically why not make a bp that has 4 different legions clones? This way everyone is happy and we have a variety of clones on the market.

They could do a remake of the first battle pack and include 2 white clones, 1 shock and 1 star corps one,  which would please many fans and be different enough from the 501st that it could warrant both existing at the same time. (should be noted that the two year mark for the 501st set is rapidly approaching) Also it's important to remember that lego does not consider the 501st set a battlepack.

Another idea would be taking a page out of the mandalorian battlepack and making each clone a different color. I don't think any reasonable person is asking for 3-4 battlepacks of clones being out at the same time for the 2022 wave, but just 1 with maybe a remake of the 2007 battlepack would be muchly appreciated.

Having multiple clone battle packs out at the same time, i.e. 212th, 41st, and genosis demonstrates that multiple clone sets will sell at the same time so long as the clones are different colors. Heck there's even been multiple times where we had more than one FO battlepack being sold at the same time. 75132 and 75166 were very similar

I would quite like a mixed legion BP, and for collectors it would certainly be ideal. I can't really see TLG doing it though; this might just be me but having four different legion clones doesn't really fit the vibe of a BP. The ideal BP make up for me is either three troopers and a specialist, or two troopers, a specialist and an officer, which you wouldn't have room for in a mixed one. We live in hope though.

My hope is that the pack is more expensive because it's an 18+ UCS tie-in, and the standard ones will stay $15.

My hope is that promobricks is mistaken and the hoth "battle-pack" is just like an add-on for the UCS AT-AT at a premium price of $20 because it comes with some kind of UCS plaque and that we've yet to see battlepacks leaks, but this is unlikely

Lego did 4 different mandalorian clans in one bp so it seems like anything really is on the table and often times unpredictable. The figures for some of the past battlepacks were a complete surprise to me. I'm now imagining a ridiculous scenario where we get a clone battle with with 4 named clones from 4 different legions. ie. fives, waxer, captain keeli, and commander bly. On the surface this seems crazy and random, but lego has done seemingly random clone figures before like the 7913 battlepack (2 bomb, 1 horn company, 1 ARF); They've also put 4 named characters in BP too.

"Lego refuses to embrace clone wars battle packs!!!" *the battle pack before this was literally 501st troopers*

 IDK why people are so upset about this, as a: LITERALLY THE LAST BATTLE PACK WAS CLONE TROOPERS, and B: we have no evidence that this is the only battle pack. Personally I hope/think the next one will be dark troopers, but we'll see.

  

 

I feel like 10% of the criticism of this set is the pretty valid "yo why's it $5 more", and 90% is "Why isn't it a clone battle pack -> OMG lego hates the prequels" Really, guys, the last battle pack we got was clone troopers, and this is clearly meant to tie into the UCS set.

I think you're forgetting that the last three SW properties are Mandalorian, CW S7, and the Bad Batch. The BP opportunities from these have not been capitalized on by TLG in favor of Hoth troopers, a safer choice, but not an exciting one. This has nothing to do with prequel hate but rather a missed opportunity to take advantage of the hype surrounding clones following the Bad Batch. However, I won't pass judgment until we see the entire Jan list cause there might be a cooler BP there and some newer media sets. 

Also on a more general note, the 501st set while a "battle pack" was twice the price of a BP and far less massable for the average fan whose Lego budget is limited. What many fans want is a cool Clone BP with multiple legions for 15 American Dollars. Now before you quote me and angrily write about how OT sets sell better I promise you I get it and I get why we're getting a Hoth BP and I get we'll never get a multi-legion Clone BP but I can hope. Anyway, I hope the UCS ATAT has an interior cause if it does I'll be buying this BP regardless of price.  

[necrochasm]

I actually really like the battle pack outside of the $20 price. It’s all army building like the old days and takes advantage of the possible 2 AT-AT sets that’ll be out by the time it comes out. I want more clones too, but I definitely can’t pass on the snowtroopers

I knew someone would bring up the Mando one  I think that's a bit more of an exception though, since apart from Death Watch all Mandalorians have unique armour anyway.

If we're talking about pricing I'm not sure the 'rainbow' clone BP would improve that though. If you want to build a squad of, say, 12 troopers, then achieving that goal with packs of three troopers will set you back 60 bucks (or 80 if we take the new price). To do the same with the rainbow pack, you'd need to spend twice that to get the same result. Sure, you'll have three other legions as well, but if you're focusing on one faction (which I assume is what army builders tend to do? I might be generalising massively here so apologies) it's not as effective.

I think S7 of CW has a great way to mix and match different Legion clones. On Venator in final episodes we see Shocktroopers, 332, 501 and shinies. Easy way to combine clones in bp. 

[Kim-Kwang-Seok]

Until the Mando sets I didn't touch any SW except for some cheaper battle packs. And the micro fighters with good figs were tempting.

So especially in context of Large troop sets with little focus on figures, it could make sense to put out cheaper BP's. and 20 someting % is a drastic increase.. It would be cheaper to get some old snowtroopers from some online trade. Heck - even 4 highly detailed CMF's would be cheaper.

I'd understand completely if the build would be more substantial. Like, put in a cool baseplate, a lot of pieces or something. But 100 pieces for 20 bucks.? At least from me: battle backs, ciao!

I don't think it's unlikely. The fact that this is the only set that leaked, it's got the display stand, and it's $20 really makes me think it is a UCS add-on.

...and lego's last wave was near-entirely clone wars, mandalorian, and bad batch. Does every subsequent wave have to be only them too? And I feel like you're missing a few things as well. 1. it not being an "exciting" choice is completely subjective. In fact, *pauses for dramatic effect*, I've personally been wanting a snowtrooper battlepack for years, and for me any many others, it's more exciting than another clone legion. I agree that it has nothing to do with prequel hate (though other comments here heavily suggest otherwise), but as it's literally one set, I don't think it's a failure to capitalize on clone hype, especially since a clone battle pack is one of the only battle packs currently on shelves. The set also clearly exists as an add on to the UCS AT-AT, so it's not like this is some random thing. I'm confused because you seem to get that it's a single set towards the end of the comment, but make all these assumptions beforehand based solely on the single set.

I don't know, because if you looked at twitter in the years before the 501st battle pack released, it seems like fans were pretty clear about what legions they wanted in their battle pack... 

Also I feel like you think I don't like prequel sets for some reason. I don't know if you've seen, but I've posted topics here of entire waves of prequel mocs, I own 5 501st battle packs (and I don't exactly have an unlimited budget), and I made a thread to show how to obtain and mod the 2013 republic gunship for cheap. I would love a battle pack of p2 shinies or 212th troopers, but my point is that it's just dumb to be upset that a literal single set leaked and it wasn't a clone battlepack. Honestly, the fact that a set has this much controversy at it for the reason that it was not a clone battle pack is absurd, especially when there are likely 1-2 more battlepacks releasing this wave, depending on whether or not lego's counting this as a standard 1hy 2022 battle pack or a UCS add-on.

[CodeNameGoldMember]

I just hope that they bring Kamas back. Printing is nice and all but I don't think it even comes close to how good kamas look on the figures. The last snow troopers didn't have them, Echo would have looked awesome with one too.

I was speaking more in terms of battle packs and army building rather than all sets when talking about recent media. CW and Mando have got a lot of love recently and that's great but I am strictly talking about BP's rn. The snow troopers have been available in many sets in the last couple of years but I get that some people like you want a BP and that's cool but it doesn't change the fact that they have been available elsewhere yet are not present in recent media. The opposite is true for shinies and non-501st clone variants. Clones are always in high demand and have not been made readily available in the same way as other troops.

I didn't mean to insinuate that you hated the prequels and I apologize if it came off that way but I was genuinely just pointing out that clone BP's, while less "safe" than OT BP's, would still sell well and should be tried by Lego because of there connection to media like the Bad Batch and CW-7. 

Hopefully, you and others in the thread are right and this is a UCS add-on because it is a perfect complement for the AT-AT but as a sole battle pack in the Jan wave, I'd be disappointed. 

[Agent Kallus]

I'm hoping it won't be £20, that's a jump of £7 from the last ones. I was also hoping that they might bump it up to 5 figures when the increased the price.

Let’s all remember that these things aren’t mutually exclusive:

It can be true that the timing is right for a Hoth Battle Pack while also being true there should be more Clones, Mandos, and/or Imperial Remnant availability.

I think people understand that. IMO we should stop being so sensitive and responsive to the vocal minorities—particularly the ones that /aren’t/ on here. 

Not everything needs to be divisive.

Although I've always thought UK prices have always been hit and miss since Brexit. Could be just me.

Ok, let's speak in terms of battle packs:

The last battle pack released was a clone battle pack, one that the fans had been wanting quite vocally for years. Before that, we had a battle pack based of the mandalorian, and one based off TROS, the two most recent pieces of major SW media at that point. So i'd wager having one, again, ONE pack based on an iconic legion that in recent years has been in, what a $160 AT-AT and the quick-to-retire action battle sets really isn't that big of a deal, at all.

I'm thinking it's got something to do with the UCS Tie-in rather than the new standard. If they do increase the price, it'll most likely just be to $17. This is more like the 2019 20th anniversary pack, I think.

What are you, a idiot? When have you seen anybody ask for a hoth battle pack. Everyone that I have seen has been asking for a clone battle pack for army building since the Clone Wars is popular again. It is people like you defending things like this that will lead Lego to doing more tone deaf things like this.

*any* type, as you said yourself. They're giving us one that fits in that category. 

They're also timing it well with the ucs atat. It's an absolutely perfect compliment. If that has an interior, guess what... It'll spur people on to buy multiples to fill it up. Would take 14 packs to fill it properly if they have the correct amount of seats. 

They also don't do battle packs determined by rarity of troopers, but by what sells. ESB is by far, an extremely popular film, and an easy cash cow. Tie that in with the ucs atat, it'd be a daft decision not to. We don't know what the other one will be (assuming we get one) so let's not be toooooo hasty to judge them for giving us something that for some people, isn't of any use. 

They've made a smart business move. That is what TLG is doing. 

 

Makes me wonder, that the ucs atat isn't simply a one vehicle wonder, as in, its involved with a fair few other vehicles that compliment it, and thus to help entice sales, for them to do an ESB hoth wave...? So, we now know (rumoured) there to be a snow trooper battle pack. If they release a snow speeder too? And on top of that, the hoth variant ATST... Well... Right there you got yourself the means to buy a full sized official TLG provided Hoth battle scene. I'm waiting to see who the first person is that buys 3 ucs atat's and packs a diorama with a bucket load of new snow trooper battle packs and modifies one atat to be taken down by a snow speeder. Its just got to happen.... 

Wack logic, you don’t see any battle pack tie ins to the UCS gunship, the UCS snowspeeder, or the UCS A-wing.

At the risk of minimodding, none of the above is called for or appropriate for this forum. Be respectful of the other people on this forum, even if you don't agree with them.

Dude, calm down, no reason to call people idiots or "laugh irl" at them. I've seen many people ask for hoth battle packs, you can look in the "future star wars sets" thread and tons of people have been asking for it over the past 2 years or so. A few other things: Yes, the 501st battle pack was indeed the last one, so lego is less likely to make another one so they won't have multiple clone battle packs onshelves at once, with would assumably harm their sales more than it would help it as most kids can't buy that many sets. And let's think about that last bit for a second... clone wars only got a few sets from 2015-2019, and then started getting a lot more sets in 2020. I wonder if there was some sort of thing going on with the show from 2015 to 2019 that then changed in 2020...

It's undeniable that the snowtrooper pack is a UCS AT-AT tie in, by the way. The extra cost and better blasters aren't much by themselves, but when promobricks says it's a UCS style minifigure stand... why would that be included if not to tie in to a UCS set?

I can think of many UCS sets with interiors as well. Off the top of my head, the falcon had an interior, all starfighters have cockpits, the sandcrawler had an interior, etc.

You need to chill, this is no way to treat another human being over 1 leaked set. I hate original trilogy more than anything in this world, i couldn't sit through 1 of the OT movies even if my life was on the line and i would still like imperial battle pack like stormtroopers, juggernaut tank troopers, new scout trooper, death troopers, shoretroopers and all the cool troopers we saw in the mandalorian or even endor troops. Secondly we only got 1 set leaked and you are mad that it's not the one you wanted, maybe there is another clone battlepack or other cool clone sets. We don't know anything yet. 

Ton of people asked for that battlepack and ton of people embraced with open hands on youtube and reddit, even i will buy at least 3 if the speeders are accurate. Hoth battle is very popular and i know some people disagree with brickset logic, but old snowtrooper battlepack is the most owned set on the site and i remember from childhood everyone had multiple of them. Would something from clone wars season 7, the mandalorian or the bad batch be better than something from a 42 year old movie? Ofc it would, it's still fresh in our mind and we are excited for it, but this is still a decent and safe pick and it will go with regular and ucs sized AT-AT.

That is just lying bro, @ me to someone who asked and begged for a hoth battle pack.

A few other things: Yes, the 501st battle pack was indeed the last one, so lego is less likely to make another one so they won't have multiple clone battle packs onshelves at once, with would assumably harm their sales more than it would help it as most kids can't buy that many sets. And let's think about that last bit for a second... clone wars only got a few sets from 2015-2019, and then started getting a lot more sets in 2020. I wonder if there was some sort of thing going on with the show from 2015 to 2019 that then changed in 2020...

It's undeniable that the snowtrooper pack is a UCS AT-AT tie in, by the way. The extra cost and better blasters aren't much by themselves, but when promobricks says it's a UCS style minifigure stand... why would that be included if not to tie in to a UCS set?

I can think of many UCS sets with interiors as well. Off the top of my head, the falcon had an interior, all starfighters have cockpits, the sandcrawler had an interior, etc.

I meant a interior that fits figures like the guy said. 

 

Fact of the matter is people asked for more Clone sets, not even battle packs yet Lego is being tone deaf.

So, uhhh, how bout dem Razor Crest micro fighter rumors?

Figured it would happen eventually, hoping it is accompanied by a Slave I. Hopefully OT Slave I so I don't feel bad spending $50 for a new Boba Fett fig, haha.

Good to see more substantiated rumours coming in, so we have a Hoth Imperial BP and a Razor Crest MF. I am also guessing the other MF set will also be Mandalorian related
