Amazing canon. I do like the legs how they currently are. Just a question: How many parts it has?

Have fun it's a nice little set. Good idea to make captains Faro Argyus! I totally forgot about him. Thanks This sets is devinitiveky aimed toward TCW fans. Yes the gatlin shooter is amazing for Mocs and to play with. It does work really well! It doesn't bother me to say my personal opinion in a review like "I would rather have this then that" based on my preference. But I think it's wrong if this affects the score of the set in any ways. I am also glad I could had these in my army. I fell in love with them when I sam them in the show. Yes I don't think they chose between the 2. I really hope we get a 501st BP at some point. I hope I am wrong. But seeing how few Rebels sets we got lately even tho the show is running is making me fear the worst.

They do take a lot to time but are fun to make. I personally don't like youtube review but that is my opinion. And yes we are lucky that Lego did such a good job on the last BPs. Thanks again Lobot! Yeah the minifigs are great but the walker not so much.

I like the fact that it's plated. It gives it an old school feel. I find sometimes that sets today are too much studless. Great job on the speeder!

Hahaha This made me laugh. Great job on the platform build!

Glad you like it! We did saw the commandos in the final Clone wars season so I think this was the last year that made sense to release this set. You are right the printing is different. The last ones were more source accurate. They do look good with the police gunship! And we do clearly lack senators in minifigures form. I also would have prefered a 501st BP but I doesn't affect how I feel about this BP. I try to not let my personal opinion affect the score of my review. I think it's more a farewell to the clone wars series. We saw the commandos a few time in season 6. He does look amazing! Thank you!

Hello again everyone! Continuing to review the sets I bought during the May the Fourth sale. This is my last review of the 2015 winter wave as I don't have the other sets that still need a review and I don't plan buying them. They are: 75081 T-16 Skyhopper 75084: Wookiee Gunship 75086: Battle Droid Troop Carrier 75087: Anakin's Custom Jedi Starfighter 75090: Ezra's Speeder Bike If anyone could review these. Thanks! So now on to the review This is my third review : 75089 Geonosis Troopers Name: Geonosis Troopers Theme: Star Wars / Expended universe / The Clone Wars Year: 2015 Pieces: 105 Minifigures: 4 Price: USA 12.99$, ENG 11.99£, CAN 15.99$, EUR 16.99€ Ressources: Brickset Lego store description The front of the box with the new 2015 art: A stormtrooper helmet tagged with a rebel alliance crest. Your standard box art for 2015. On the back of the box, we see the play features and the number os stud shooter and the number of spare studs. Also shown is the clone troopers and the walker's features. In the box, the pieces come in 2 bags and with the instruction booklet. The instruction booklet with the same image as the box on the cover. The back with the win minifigure. Spare parts: mainly spare studs. It's a battlepack! The completed model. The walker with the new stud "gatlin" gun ready to fire! Side view 1 Side view 2 Top view Back view With the legs posed like it's recommended in the manual The walker as 3 features: movable legs, the "gatlin gun" and the opening cockpit. Here is the cockpit opened and closed. Closed The walker is unstable if both legs aren't placed the same way And now what you were all waiting for: The Minifigures! We get 4 of them; 2 Geonosis airborne troopers and 2 Geonosis troopers. The battlepacks comes with 2 different heads: the standard clone trooper face and another one with a different facial expression. The Geonosis trooper compared to the to the Kashyyyk trooper and Utapau trooper. We can see that the camo pattern is different then the Kashyyyk trooper. It has the same back printing as the one from the Utapau BP. Back view The airborne trooper compared to the Utapau BP one. Back view Rating ------ These three points are not included in final score. Price: 6/10 – 105 pieces for 12.99$ is above the 10 cents per piece ration. Also like other battlepacks with the gatlin gun, 20 of those piece are studs for the guns and the canon. Still we get 4 amazing minifigures and a small vehicule. Parts: 7.5/10 – Many of the pieces are studs but we get a nice assortement of pieces in geonosian tan that could be usefull for any desert moc. You love or you don't the new gatlin gun. Build 7/10 – The build takes around 10 minutes. No special technic are involved in the build. Battlepacks are about minifigures and not the building experience, so no surprise here ------ Design 5/10 – This walker is not based on any source material but we have seen enough walkers that we know how it should look or not look like. From the front and from the side the model does look good but looks bad from behind because of a complete lack of detail. There is only so much you can do with 50-60 pieces. You can fit 2 minifigures and their guns on the walker. The legs are movable, the cockpit can be opened and closed and the gatlin gun does shoot fast and far. Still it's a little hard to place the legs in display mode. (refer to image legs posed like it's recommended in the manual) If both legs aren't place the same way, the walker will be very unstable or it will fall. Besides, the walker can't stand on 1 leg and thus it limits the different poses it can take. It's an average build. Nothing amazing. Still it might bring some memories to some of the first walker of the very first battlepack released: the clone walkers BP. Minifigures: 10/10 – The minifigures are outstanding. The camo printing on both troopers is very detailled and beautifull. Printed legs, and backprint on all 4 minifigures. The airborne trooper helmet is also very well made and looks just like the source material. Troopers from a new clone legion is always welcome for MOCs and dioramas. Also we get 2 different faces wich is good for an all clone battlepack. Playability: 6/10 – Not much play features except for the gatlin canon and the opening cockpit. It's hard to set the legs in display mode and both legs must be placed the same way if not the model will be unstable or it won't even stand. The movable legs can't really considered a play feature in this case. Still the shooter is fun to use and so are the minifigure's guns. This is a one faction battlepacks. It's meant to be played with other sets so you can have targets to shoot at! OVERALL 7/10 – A good battlepack. The minifigure are definitively the highlight of the set as you would expect. Adding a new clone legion to your collection is always nice even tho some would have prefered a more "famous" legion like the Galactic Marines or the 501th. Seeing another variant of the airborne trooper is also very nice because the mold for the helmet is amazing. The vehicule included could have been better. In the end this is an above average battlepack with outsanding minifigures that carry a rather average walker. Thoughts and critiques welcomes! Also if there is any grammar mistake burning your eyes, please PM me and I will edit. Thanks for reading!

Hello again everyone! Continuing to review the sets I bought during the May the Fourth sale. So here is my second review : 75088 Senate Commando Troopers Name: Senate Commando Troopers Theme: Star Wars / The Clone Wars Year: 2015 Pieces: 106 Minifigures: 4 Price: USA 12.99$, ENG 11.99£, CAN 15.99$, EUR 16.99€ Resource: Brickset Lego store description The front of the box with the new 2015 art: A stormtrooper helmet tagged with a rebel alliance crest. Same as the other sets of the winter wave. On the back, we see the troopers in action, the number of spare studs included and the play features of the canon. In the box, the pieces come in 2 bags and there is also the instruction booklet. The instruction booklet has the same image as the box on the cover. The back with the win minifigure. Spare parts. Mainly spare studs for the guns as you can expect from a battlepack. The completed model. The canon is equiped with the new stud "gatlin" gun. Side view 1 Side view 2 Back view Top view The legs can be adjusted Legs down Legs up The canon can be aimed up and down. This is the lowest angle it can be placed in. We now move to the minifigures: the highlight and purpose of the battlepack. We get 4 of them. Three senate commando troopers and one senate commando captain. The captain as a different face from the 3 other troopers. The 3 troopers have the clone face from other clone battlepacks. The captain as some white painting on his helmet, torso and leg. The back printing is similar. Rating ------ These three points are not included in final score. Price: 6/10 – 106 pieces for 12.99$ is above the 10 cents per piece ration. Also 20 of those piece are studs for the guns and the canon. Still we get 4 great minifigures that were really expensive on the aftermarket because they were released in only 2 sets years ago. Plus the canon is a nice little build. We are use by now to this kind of pricing for battlepacks. Parts: 7/10 – 20 of the pieces are studs but we get 7 pieces in republic red and only 2-3 technic pieces. The "gatlin" canon is a really nice piece. Build 7/10 – Nothing fancy here. The building process will take you no longer then 10 minutes. No special technic are involved in the build. ------ Design 7.5/10 – Since the canon is not based on any source material it's difficult to compare it. Still, with the colors and style we have no problems imagining this canon as an anti aircraft gun that would be around the senate protecting it from attacks. The canon looks great overall, but the side of the barrel (Image: side view 1) could have been better. Also, some might find it too "bulky". It looks more like a mortar then a canon. Minifigures: 9/10 – The 4 minifigures are amazing. Printed legs and printed back torso. The fact that we get a captain and 3 troopers is great. Its nice to have a captain. It adds diversity to the battleback but they still look good displayed together. Only complaint: we should have goten 4 different faces since the senate commando troopers are not clones. Playability: 7.5/10 – Like other one faction only battlepacks, it complement other sets really well. By itself you can shoots the canon and play with the troopers but you will defenetly need bad guy to shoot at. The shooter on the canon rotates on the sides and up and down. It works really well and shoots far. Kids should have a blast using it. OVERALL 8/10 – A nice little battlepack. The minifigures are great and so is the canon. Its not everyday we get a senate related sets and non clones troopers of the prequel era. In fact this is the first prequel battlepack wich does not contain any clones. They look great standing next to Palpatine in his office and you can make an Emperor arrival moc PT style. This is an above average set that you should pick up if you would like to add to your republic force with non clone elements and a neat canon. Thoughts and critiques welcomes! Also if there is any grammar mistake burning your eyes, please PM me and I will edit. Thanks for reading!

I feel you. I payed 125 for the AT-TE to get the polybag. I could have bought it for 90 without the polybag one week earlier in the US. I don't see any other droid they could have made for a 20$ sets. Maybe an octopura droid but we got one last year with the Utapau BP. Maybe crabs droid and a bunch of clone troopers. Also I will review the senate commando troopers and geonosis trooper when I have time. The other sets I don't have them so I can't review them. Welcome! Glad you liked it! At that price it's worth picking 1-2 up. Could you specify at what store you found that deal?

Dam! How am I supposed to get the assault carrier now. More seriously: were these pictures taken in Canada?

http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-star-wars-constraction-ultrabuild-characters-revealed/ http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=105211&st=0 I find the prices but release date I have no idea.

If its the 75021 It is an land vehicule because at the time of the Battle of Geonosis the gunship were not fitted to go into space. But later in the clone war they had modified blast door to go in space. If you have the prievious gunship (with commander cody and ventress) that version is a space vehicule.

The prices range from 19.99$ to 34.99$ depending on what fig you buy. Luke beeing the least expensive and General Grivous beeing the most expensive. Also does anyone know when the Sith Infiltrator is suposed to be released? June 1? Because people are reporting summer sets popping in many store but not the Infiltrator.

The work on the landscape is AMAZING! Great job on the crosstheme!

It's the lighting. I checked they are both exactly the same shade of blue. It's 100% the same minifig as the polybag but with printed leg.

Big packaging mess by Lego This is the Senate Commando Battlepack but the bag is filled with Geonosis troopers and 4 helmets of the republic commandos, no legs or torso. Also there is some pieces of the walker and the canon. The bag is filled with half of each BP... Maybe I can sell this as the only Geonosis senate commandos BP lol

I called Lego today. They will send a new bag free of charge so I get to keep this one! 4 Geonosis clones and a bunch of spare part for free YAY! Only down side of all this I have to wait 14 days for the new parts to arrive because they are shipped from Danmark. But I guess this could have been worst! They have a great customer service 10/10

What do I do when this happens? The bag is filled with Geonosis troopers and 4 helmets of the republic commandos, but no legs or torso. Also there is some pieces of the walker and the canon. The bag is filled with half of each BP... Maybe I can sell this as the only Geonosis senate commandos BP lol Edit: Can I still call Lego customer service even tho I bought this from TRU?

Thanks! Ya on sale you should get this for the clone Lieutenant. I don't have a dust problem because I display my models in a display case so they don't get dusty. Yes the spring loaded missiles are wayyyyyy better then the flick fire missiles because they actually shoot! Thanks you for your kind words!

Great review! I am in love with this set! (I got 12 of them when they were 20% off) I wanted to review the set before building them but you beat me to it This is the best battlepack vehicle ever, It can fit the four minifigs included in the set, is accurate to on screen material (downsized version) and has play features. The last BP vehicle that could fit all minifigures was the imperial dropship... that was effectively the first stormtrooper BP. Also at 12.99 for 144 pieces Its under the 10 cents per piece ratio which I thought was impossible for a BP. Only critique I can make is they could have used 4 different faces since they are stormtrooper and not clones. But that's being picky. A big 9,5/10 for me!

Thanks! The 2003 one is 600 piece and is probably too big to fit with other Geonosis sets. The 2008 one is better according to me because as you said it as more droids. I also preferred the wheels of the 2008 models, but I think the 2015 model looks better overall. Thanks again for adding the polls. Normally I get all my sets on sale. With a 10-15% sale it would be alot easier to pull the trigger on this set. I did look up spring fatigue and you are indeed right. What I tried to say was that I don't like and don't recommend leaving something "loaded" on a shelf. But that is just me. I edited that section in the review. Thanks Cool, glad my review help you make up your mind on this set!

Hello everyone! I was browsing the forum for some reviews of the sets I bought during the May the Fourth sale and I noticed many were missing. So I thought I would make a review to fill that gap and contribute to the LSW community. So here is my first review : 75085 Hailfire Droid Name: Hailfire Droid Theme: Star Wars / Episode II Year: 2015 Pieces: 163 Minifigures: 3 Price: USA 19.99$ (Target exclusive), ENG 19.99£, CAN 24.99$, EUR 26.99€ Ressources: Brickset Lego store description The box The front of the box with the new 2015 art: A stormtrooper helmet tagged with a rebel alliance crest. On the back, we can see the play features and images of the lone clone trooper fighting. Inside the box there is 3 numbered bags, the 2 loose printed wheels and the instruction booklet. There is only one instruction booklet with the same image as the box on the cover The back Spare parts The build The build after bag one. The middle piece of the model. The build after bag 2. The inside part of the wheel holders The build after bag 3. The outside part of the wheel holders. The model is now complete. The completed model (back view) The completed model (side view 1) The completed model (side view 2) The completed model (top view) The wheels in straight mode. The model is not stable and will roll back and forth if you surface is not 100% flat. The wheels can be folded down 90 degrees but more than this and the wheels don't touch the ground and the model doesn't roll anymore. The minifigures Now on to the minifigures. We get 3 of them. One clone trooper Lieutenant and 2 Super Battle Droid. The Super Battle Droid. The same as the one release with other episode 2 sets. The 'incomplete' back The clone Lieutenant compared to the polybag version we got in october 2013 Note: The sets comes with only one clone trooper. The one on the left is from the polybag. The one on the right is from this set. As you can see they are both exactly te same except the newer version as leg printing. ( I just noticed the printing on my new lieutenant's helmet is a bit off. Maybe I should call and request a new helmet.) The back is exactly the same Rating --------- These two point are not included in final score.I will still rate them as they are important for some people. Let me explain: Price: Too much dependent on where you live and your Lego budget. Also, Lego is kid oriented even with the big AFOL community. Most Lego sets are gift to childrens so the price will not affect the overall feeling of a kid toward is play set since they don't pay for it and generally they won't know the price. Parts: only affect the overall score for MOCCERS who need pieces for their mocs. This should not affect the rating of people who display their model and/or play with it and don't dismantles them for parts. Price: 5/10 – 163 pieces for 20$ is under the 10 cents per piece ratio. Still if you are interested in the clone Lieutenant, 20$ is the price you would have payed on the aftermarket for one. I feel another clone trooper should have been included at this price. Parts: 6/10 – The printed wheels are exclusive to this set. They are the highlights in term of parts, depending if you like them or not. We also gets some pieces in 2 different shades of brown. But most pieces are small grey and black bricks that don't seem that interesting. We also get a lot of technic pieces. --------- Build 6/10 – Except for the middle section, its a pretty repetitive build. It should take around 15-20 minutes to build this set. It's an easy build. Design 6/10 – I think this all comes down to if you like the printed wheels or not. It does look somewhat like the source material but it should have bigger wheels and more rocket launchers. Also you cannot leave the spring loaded missiles in the launchers because they will damage the spring if you leave them in too long. It won't damage the spring but I don't leave my spring launcher loaded because I don't like having "loaded" shooters on display. Thus it diminishes the value of this set as a display piece. Minifigures: 5/10 – The Clone Lieutenant is a great minifigure and the highlight of this sets. This is a good way of getting the Lieutenant for those who missed the polybag and don't want to pay the ridiculous aftermarket prices. The two droids are a bad selection for this set. We should have gotten 2 brown battle droids instead of 2 SBD. In the worst case t least 1 brown battle droid and 1 SBD. Also a fourth minifig should have been included. Playability: 6/10 – You get 4 spring loaded missiles shooters and wheels to roll around. So this is pretty swooshable. But by itself there is not much to do because you get 2 SBD and only 1 clone trooper. This set is clearly meant to complement other Geonosis sets from the 2013 wave. OVERALL 5.75/10 – Definitively not one of the best set of the winter wave. I would not recommend this set alone but it's decent complement to your Geonosis collection. Also even if the minifigure selection is not the best, this set is worth getting for those who missed the clone Lieutenant polybag. I am pretty sure we won't get a third chance to get a blue phase one clone trooper. Here is a little bonus for those who got through the review Thoughts and critiques welcomes! I tried my best for the lighting while I took the pictures. I tried pretty much all the lamps in my house and this is the best result I got. Are they too dark? Also if there is any grammar mistake burning your eyes, please PM me and I will edit. Thanks for reading! PS: Could a moderator please PM me. I would like to add polls.

AT-AT is 1 year old and should retire first. So you should get the AT-AT if you plan on getting both but not at the same time. If I had only one to pick, I would go with the shuttle since it can be use as a rebel or an imperial troop transport.

Republic Gunship and AT-TE! We rarely get good upgrades. These 2 sets were definitively good upgrades!

Thanks! So getting 1 microfighter per month for the next 5 months will get me all the posters?
