Title: 2022 TVC Troop Builder Phase 1 Clone 4-Pack
Post by: Jeff on May 4, 2022, 11:03 AM

Pre-order tomorrow beginning at 1pm ET exclusively on Hasbro Pulse.

(Wish this was a Red or Yellow VC45 trooper instead of the blue one...)

You'd think they'd have just re-released the Blue one on card since he was HTF (online exclusive?) and put in a red or yellow as you suggested.  But I won't count out that Hasbro still might rerelease the blue one on card anyway.

I haven't been army building clones as much of late, these are fine, but i still don't love the base sculpt. I don't care as much about the color, but I too wouldn't have minded seeing a yellow or red here. I think I'll only grab one of these sets this time.

AOTC Trooper set is up at ShopDisney - https://www.shopdisney.com/star-wars-the-vintage-collection-phase-i-clone-trooper-action-figure-set-by-hasbro-461013219894.html

Still wish they would have put a Red or Yellow officer in here instead of Blue, but oh well...

The cynic in me thinks that they're holding onto those for more carded releases.  The TVC basic figure line is just rife with repaints and kitbashes.  I don't put it past Hasbro to hang onto opportunities like this to save the Commander and Captain for the carded figure line - possibly for the newly announced Clone Wars 20 sub-line!

HasbroPulse is processing their orders and they're having problems doing mine. (Maybe had to do with a new security number I entered for my cc.)

It was great opportunity to bundle a couple of these sets with the Christmas droid at ShopDisney and not have to pay for shipping.

I'm so sick of this skinny clone body, especially now that they've pipelined the Phase 2 clone as a full resculpt. Their bodies are the same, right?

Skinny clone body is why I only ordered one of these.  I didn’t load up on 501st’s either.

Same here. Mine is supposed to show up tomorrow. THis is by far the least excited I've been for one of these sets.
