For me it would. If battle packs' prices are raised, I will buy less of them, it's that simple.(As in, I'd buy ~$50 worth, but if they were cheaper and had a better unit composition, I'd buy ~$100 worth) A large factor (literally and figuratively) of battle packs is their overall composition. The original EP3 clone battle pack with 2 normal clones, 1 red clone, 1 yellow clone, a speeder, and a turret was beautiful. If that set was remade today, I would probably buy >$100 worth of them. But the 2013 EP2 clone troopers & droidekas set... The droidekas were cool but I'd MUCH rather it have included super battle droids or battle droids. An army would look awkward with a massive amount of droidekas relative to the other separatist droids. And then for the clone sergeant... those special, highly-ranked clones are supposed to oversee a large amount of normal clones. But with that battle pack, you have a 1:1 ratio. That's not good... And last but not least, the command center. I get it, you could probably combine them if you bought several of the sets, but it would still have been better to include a turret, or speeder or large droid IMO. I only have 1 of the 2013 clone trooper & droidekas battle packs, and I *MAY* buy another, but it's unlikely. My point is: battle packs' prices are very elastic (and their compositions GREATLY contribute to their elasticity as well) and Lego should approach them much more methodically than they have been in the recent years. As far as Kashyyyk and Utapau troopers go... I'll probably only be buying 2 and 3 (respectively) of those sets. In Kashyyyk's case, I don't care to build a Kashyyyk moc, so I'll just have a tiny group of troopers for my general collection. For Utapau, I wish the set included 2 normal, white troopers, and then 1 of each of the types that are actually going to be in the set. THAT'S a battle pack I'd buy en masse.

I would be really disappointed if that list turned out to be official. I'd really like an Orc/human army builder from the final wave. Also, a Balrog!

I bought 4 Uruk-hai armies ($25 per, via Amazon) because I felt that everything about the set was proportional, and Eomer easily functions as an army-building rider of Rohan. I actually didn't even know the set included a named character until I bought my second or third set. I also bought 3 Orc Forges. I'll only be buying 1 MEA (at $25 via Amazon) because the ratio is pretty lame IMO. If it was 3-4 orcs vs. 2-3 elves, I'd probably buy like 2 or 3 sets. But I'm on a budget, and it really irks me that I'd have those extra Thranduils and an Orc deficit. I may buy a couple Wargs and a few Orcs off of Bricklink (if the Wargs are ~$5-7 and the Orcs are ~$3-5) but I will definitely buy only one of the set.

I feel like the goggles are too small for the size of the helmet, one or the other needs a size adjustment. But like someone else before me said, the rest of the fig is beautiful

Does the shape of the wall indicate that multiples can fit together?

What is the structure for the Mirkwood Elf Army? How big is it, relative to the Uruk-Hai Army?
