Title: TRU Defense of the Galactic Senate Battle Pack
Post by: Jeff on January 20, 2006, 12:07 PM
Since it's now up for pre-order at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000CEXNP8/wwwjedidefend-20/), I thought we better start a topic.   :)

Last I read, this set was TRU exclusive and no one is really sure what is supposed to be included.  It says it's due May 1st, but we all know how well Amazon/TRU keeps those dates.   ::)

Maybe we'll learn more at Toy Fair?

Is this the Yoda/Sidious/Shocktroopers set? If so, I'll be ordering these like a ************!!!

No, that is the Target Exclusive Skirmish at the Senate Battle Pack.  This one is completely different despite the very similar name.

Wait, what figures are coming in this pack again?

My guess it'll be Mace, Saesee Tiin, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar (with battle damage?) & #35 Palpatine

Oh I was thinking actual Senate figures like royal guards or blue guards and some senators.

I guess we're defending the Senate inside Palpatine's office now.  If we get a decent red robed Palps out of it with some articulation I'd be stoked.

No one really knows for sure at this point. 

I've seen/heard at least two different rumors so far -
1) Ep2 Palpy, Orn Free Ta, Ep2 Bail, Ep2 Red Guard x2
or
2) Ep3 Red Guard x2, Anakin, Palpy, Mace

And, Jayson's guess is another good possibility I suppose. 

Again, those are just rumors though and no one knows for sure yet...  :-\

Yeah, this doesn't bode well... the four Jedi vs. Palpy might be interesting, but since we all already have them...

Just a random thought: maybe this will be the kidnapping of Palpatine sequence from the Clone Wars Volume II?

#14 Chancellor Palpatine
Blue or Red Senate Guard
Grievous
Shaak Ti
Clonetrooper(s)

??

Or maybe it's those nifty new clones on the new gunshark box.   :)

If it is this I could handle...

Chancy Palps
Roron Corobb
General Grievous
Shakk Ti
Grievous Guard

I'm thinking the clones on the Gunship box:

2 Blue/Gray ARC's
Red ARC
Heavy Gunner
Pilot

That would be cool, but I don't see how that would fit with the "Defense of the Senate" theme.

I see it this way:

For the much rumored Target exclusive "General Windu's Squadron" battle pack, I can see how that would be something really cool like a Mace with 4 Clones (maybe even a few of the Gunship box Clones).

But for this TRU exclusive "Defense of the Senate" Battle Pack, I am totally expecting something lame involving Ep2 or Ep3 Royal Guards and/or dorky Senator figures and/or a Jedi or two.

I guess we shall see soon enough...

I can see it......The ship is EU from the clone wars cartoon series where the clones defended the city of Coruscant-OK well, maybe the paint scheme for the gunship was on a different planet but....if they go by expanded universe/clone wars then I can see it with clones included in a battle pack.

I would rather get the  5 clones pictured with the ship than any pilots, I mean..I HAVE plenty of bantha fodder pilots already!

I hope your wrong Jeffrey! >:(

From the strictest sense, me neither. :P I was thinking along the same lines as DS.

I could too and for $20 that's a set worth having a number of I think...  Count me in because those figs on the GS box looked so sweet.  That...  That would be a bit too ideal, but now I'm hoping it is true.

Any new information on this?  Defense of the Senate... it's got to involve either Jedi, Clone Troopers (hopefully blue) or some sort of Royal Guards, right?

 :P
Title: Re: TRU Defense of the Galactic Senate Battle Pack
Post by: CHEWIE on February 9, 2006, 02:45 PM
Or, it's this...

Chancellor Palpatine
Mon Mothma
Bail Organa
Orn Free Ta
Jar Jar

ha ha... imagine how that collect inches of dust.   :)

 :P

It has got to be the 4 Jedi vs. Palpatine, if you think about it?

You gotta throw at least one clone 41 red shock variant in there to chase those figures down a pack-in piece of hall diorama.  And then I think we have something.

I dunno, sometimes their naming gets a little goofy. The previous target exclusive was "Clone attack on Coruscant" which wasn't exactly accurate. The defense of the senate pack could be anything at this point.

Has this set been renamed to "Hunt for General Greivous?"

I sure would like to know so I can place my preorder at Amazon...I know I won't find them at the store locations...

The general guess is that yes, this set is the same as the recently announced Grievous Set, but them again no one knows for sure... :-\
