This BP has been rumored, what do you want to see in it? My choices:
-VOTC Yoda x1
-NEW Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) x1
-TSC R2-D2 x1
-NEW Obi-Wan (Jedi Spirit)
-TSC Dragonsnake
-Various Crates, Boxes, Etc
-
Let's see....
1 x Yoda - new sculpt, eyes closed, raising the X-Wing
1 x R2-D2 - TSC, dirty and gimmickless
1 x Luke Skywalker - Bespin Fatigues (SAGA, clean version)
1 x Spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi (OTC)
-
Yoda (VOTC re-pack)
R2-D2 (R4-G9 re-paint Muddy)
Luke Skywalker (TSC X-Wing re-hash w/Arm & Knee Articulation)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (VOTC re-hash):
Boxes,Thing that Powered R2,Food,Lizard
-
All Repacks
OTC Yoda
OTC Luke (dagobah)
OTC R2-D2
OTC Spirit Obi-Wan
accessories
Luke's gear and supplies
-
They might throw that dragon thing in there that we are getting with the X-Wing too.
I would think they'll throw Vader in this also.
:)
-
Cant believe no one picked my first choice ???
Dagobah Vader
Ben Spirit
Yoda
Luke
R2
-
Damn! You beat me to that one.
We share the same thought on that list!
-
Eh,I'm waiting for a new Dagobah Vader,the POTJ sucks.
-
POTJ Dagobah Vader may not have as much articulation as today's figures but it still a lot better than the crap we still see today. The translucent paints scheme, decapitating action and blow up mask feature make it perfect for the scene.
POTJ has a lot of figures than even today blow the competition away, this particular one was one of my favorites, granted he is no Cantain Han or Tatooine Luke ::)
-
I don't think we'll see the dragonsnake in this battle pack. Hasbro will want to keep that guy exclusive to the X-Wing to entice the completist figure collectors to buy a ship.

I agree with no dragonsnake. Here is my revised list:
Yoda (OTC re-pack with pack)
R2-D2 (OTC electronic)
Luke Skywalker (OTC Dagobah version repack with New cloth coat and belt to be in full bespin gear or training attire)
Dagobah Vader (Better Deco ops, more real no ghost transluscent)
Boxes,Thing that Powered R2,Winged Lizard from POTF Galaxy setand snake from VOTC Yoda
-
I like ...
1 x Yoda - new sculpt, eyes closed, raising the X-Wing
So, with that in mind....
1x Yoda - new sculpt, eyes closed, raising the X-Wing (body possibly based on VOTC Yoda)
1x OTC Dagobah Luke Skywalker (possibly with articulated knees & elbows)
1x OTC Dagobah R2-D2
1x OTC Obi-Wan (Dagobah Jedi Spirit)
1x VOTC or 500th Vader with POTJ Dagobah head
-Various Crates, Boxes, Etc
-
Let's see....
1 x Yoda - new sculpt, eyes closed, raising the X-Wing
I'd be down for that. A new Dagobah Vader woul dbe nice, but i would also hope for another creature.
-
I can't think of anything that would thrill me much for this pack. I suppose if I were going to buy it I would want...
PotJ Dagobah Vader
NEW Spirit of Obi-Wan
OTC Dagobah R2-D2
OTC Dagobah Luke
OTC Dagobah Yoda
Hasbro will give us...
repack- Holo version of PotF2 Obi-Wan
repack- PotF2 Yoda
repack- R2-D2 (a nice, shiny one)
repack- Jedi Luke ("Now you can relive that memorable EU moment where the Wise Jedi Master Yoda showed young Luke a vision of what he could become if he stayed and trained with him on Dagobah..." or some such crap like that)
repack- Cantina Han
-
So, with that in mind....
1x Yoda - new sculpt, eyes closed, raising the X-Wing (body possibly based on VOTC Yoda)
1x OTC Dagobah Luke Skywalker (possibly with articulated knees & elbows)
1x OTC Dagobah R2-D2
1x OTC Obi-Wan (Dagobah Jedi Spirit)
1x VOTC or 500th Vader with POTJ Dagobah head
-Various Crates, Boxes, Etc
Ditto.
I know this would be a long shot, how 'bout a beeping R2, just like from ROTS, except it is his "freak-out" beep when Luke drops him from the Force.
-
Not many choices at all. It's safe to say there won't be any surprises save for pilot gear Luke.
-
Here's what I expect:
POTF2 Spirit Ben
POTJ Vader
OTC Luke in Training Gear
ROTS Yoda
ROTS R2
EDIT: I was thinking more about the ROTS Yoda and his use in the modern line and thought maybe Hasbro would realize he's been used too much already. In that case, I'm still wondering which Yoda is still in surplus over there...Perhaps the POTF2 Hairy Yoda? :P
-
What I expect:
Ben Kenobi (POTF 2 re-hash)
Luke Skywalker (TRU Dagobah re-pack)
Darth Vader (500th re-pack)
Yoda (POTF 2 re-pack)
R2-D2 (POTF 2 re-paint)
::)
-
Well, here's my list of what I expect to see now that we know they're sticking with the five figure set-up for next year:
-Luke Skywalker (OTC Dagobah Training)
-Yoda (OTC Dagobah Training)
-R2-D2 (Saga 2002 Dagobah X-Wing Pack-In)
-Obi-Wan Kenobi (OTC Dagobah Spirit)
-Darth Vader (POTJ 2000 Dagobah Spirit)
Everyone who thinks we're going to be seeing gobs of unsold Battle Packs this spring, raise your hand!

According to RS (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/UPDATE_New_Battle_Packs_For_2007_99704.asp), some info was released about some of the battle packs at a convention in the UK. This set is rumored to include "Yoda, R2-D2, and Luke fighting himself as Darth Vader."
-
Seems like most of the battle packs wont have any new figures, will be passing on all of them i think except for Illum as long as it has Snow Bunny Padme
-
In one of he QnA questions last week, Hasbro pretty much confirmed that these "basic" Battle Packs would be all re-packs for the kids, while the "Exclusive" Battle Packs will be collector-oriented.
From www.FFURG.com:
FFURG: Along the same line as above, what about a ROJ Rebel Briefing with SAGA General Madine, Mon Mothma (new using the ROTS sculpt), (retooled) Admiral Ackbar, and SAGA General Calrissian with a hologram Death Star II?
Hasbro: Ahh - great question! The mainline, or national battle packs are designed with kids foremost in mind. That's why there are very few new, and they are more commonly themed repacks with a heavy concentration of recognizeable and cool kid characters along with a couple lesser known characters to complete the theme (Battle for Sarlacc being a prime example of this).
Now for exclusive battle packs, we take a different approach. We design these to be collector-targeted, knowing that if we strike the right chord they are something collectors will want to go to that retailer to find and ensure the sell-through at the retailer. This is why the exclusive battle packs have more of a troop building flavor to them. They are designed specifically to ensure that the packs will be able to sell through in a certain period of time.
That explains why these recently announced sets are all repacks, but the TRU Exclusive CW one and the Target Skirmish and Mace sets all have new figures, specifically new Clones.
In other words, don't be prepared to get excited about any Battle Packs unless they are exclusive... ;)
-
Well that makes sense (only in Hasbro's world).
I can only assume that there are more collectors these days than kiddies buying SW just because the movies are over.
So let's make the ones the collectors want store exclusives - that'll make them easy to find.
:-*

Well, here's my list of what I expect to see now that we know they're sticking with the five figure set-up for next year:

-Obi-Wan Kenobi (OTC Dagobah Spirit)
-Darth Vader (POTJ 2000 Dagobah Spirit)
Everyone who thinks we're going to be seeing gobs of unsold Battle Packs this spring, raise your hand!
My hand is up...
I just don't see buying much of these. I don't mind them being released, it gives many people a chance to amass a bunch of OT figures they might not have. But it gives my wallet a break.
-
this has gotta be one i hope they repack, since i sold most of those figures back in 04', and it'll give me the reason i've needed to get a new display case.(http://threads.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data//500/figures.jpg)
with lighting too....
-
Pass!
-
This is up for pre-order on EE along with the Capture of Tantive IV and Battle of Geonosis BP's:

-
Wow, shelf warmer here we come!
-
Yep. I presume this one will pegwarm more than any other BP. Oh, and Obi-Wan never used his saber on Dagobah. :P
-
Maybe more than the Palpatine/DS Kmart exclusive one, which wasn't even a battle. :P
-
Ah, its great not to be a completist anymore. ;D
-
I believe i will be passing on all the packs except for illum. Nothing new enough.
-
I'm going to have to see what this looks like in person, but most likely I will not buy it.
-
My... how exciting. ::)
-
Another big pass. Might of been worth it if the included the OTC Luke or the revamped Luke with the X-Wing. This Saga Luke blows.
-
Love the battle packs that have nothing new in them.
-
Who dosen't?
-
Pass for me as well, I have all of these figures and a better Luke made from the legs of the OTC Dagobah version and the upper body of the OTC Bespin version. Still, for new people, this is an awesome way to get an entire scene at once.
-
Why Dagobah? Why not Bespin? This wasn't even a battle, just an imaginary duel.
-
out of all 4 revealed today:
tantive IV: :)
illum: :-\
geonosis: >:(
dagobah: :P
-
Ah, its great not to be a completist anymore. ;D
You said it.
-

Ha-ha. Now we can all have Spirt Kenobi battle Dream Weaver Vader.
-

You said it.
oh, gosh dam it, i wish i could say the same. advice? it's a terrible collecting disorder. please help me... >:( :-[ :-\ >:( ;D :D >:(
-
Hasbro is saving me tons of money this year, cool.
-
A nice set if you're new to collecting and don't have any of the included figures. Glad I don't suffer from OCD, otherwise this set would be a big waste of money.
No offense to those of you who 'must' have it... :-*

If your'e an opener don't buy stuff you already have, unless it'sa great figure (VOTC,ROTS Collection 2 Jedi, Pilot Obi,etc...). If your'e a MOCer no idea.
-
Looks great, but I have all of those figs. so BIG pass.
-
Like ruiner mentioned, a good set for people just getting into collecting. They are figures most of us probably already have, but it is kind of a neat set up. They should have just re-released the Dagobah playset along with it :P. I would have bought that without hesitation.
-
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/10-06/061027_katalog_bp_2b.jpg)
Well, I don't actually have any of these figures. I mean, I have Lukes, Obis, Yodas, Vaders, and R2, but none of these specific ones. And I still want Spirit Obi. So I might pick this up if I have any money left after everything else.
-
Crap.
-
I wonder if this Vader will feature the "Luke Reveal" sculpt
(http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/files/gallery/Collectibles/Modern/Power_of_the_Jedi/Basic_Figures/Darth_Vader_%28Dagobah%29/potj_darthd_ac1.jpg)
-
Regardless, that Darth Vader figure is still one of my favs.
That was a cool feature back in the day - that and the translucent plastic.
Good stuff.
-
I love Dagobah Vader. Hidden feature ;), decapitation feature :D, translucent black plastic yet a heavy dark red saber ;D. I have 3 of these guys that I display in different places.

yes, i love him from the photo archives but dont hav 1 yet. maybe i CAN fit this set into my budget. the R2 is a nice improvement over the OTC statue.

You should look at him in the dark, under a blacklight. That dark red lightsaber glows like the "real" thing.
It's also a cool trick to view the POTJ "emperor's Wrath" under a blacklight, the skull glows. :P

today at target i found this BP for $19.99. no sign of any of the other 30AC BPs or the illum one, but there was a stockboy loading the shelves with a buttload of 06 BPs aka Sarlac, Sith Lord Attack, Arrest of Palpy. good luck guys!
PS the R2 is the bar2-D2 sculpt. nice! 8)

-
Saw it today. Already knew I was going to pass, but still it's good to see new stuff hitting the shelves.
