Title: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Ryan on February 28, 2006, 02:46 AM
Here are some more DCPI numbers:

087-06 1797 MACE WINDU SQUAD 19.99


What is that? Is it supposed to be his starfighter or am I oblivious to some other item coming out soon? ???

I've heard a lot of theories Ryan.  Like anything from repacked Jedi that helped him lay the smack down to Palpatine or Clones in a special color...  Purple?

Unkown for now though.  :(

Unkown for now though.  :(

This does sound very interesting to say the least... I think since it says "Battle Pack" we'll be looking at some figures here rather than a ship... this could be extremely cool if they tweak/kitbash some Jedi here to make robed versions of Jedi here... there are 4 Jedi that confront Palpatine, so in that sense if you add in Palpatine, it falls in line with Target's 5-pks. 

But what would it be?

I am thinking (and this is just a random guess) that we might see the following -

- ROTS Kit Fisto
- ROTS Agen Kolar
- ROTS Saesee Tiin
- ROTS Dueling Mace Windu
- ROTS Dueling Palpatine

I'd rather see them be a little more creative that that, but it could be that... or maybe even Mace with some Clones, which I think would be a better sell.

Since ROTS Fisto and Kolar just rock, I would take a SA Mace w/some clones.  I did not get ROTS Sinn is he just like Fisto and Kolar?
Title: Re: Target DPCI #s for TSC
Post by: CHEWIE on April 13, 2006, 12:29 PM
The Saesee is ok... pretty good articulation, but I still prefer the POTJ version of him Gatillo.

Thought I'd spin this one off into it's own thread now that this item is confirmed.

I got a bit of info today that said this battle pack is planned to be out around the same time as Mace Windu's ship (kinda like how the TRU Hunt for Grievous Battle Pack will be out at the same time as the new Gunship at TRU).

I'm hoping it'll be some sort of purple clones.
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Morgbug on April 13, 2006, 02:27 PM
Clones would be great, but I suspect Chewie is right with the figures involved.  A red robed Palpatine and the four Jedi would be about par for the course.  They might drop a Jedi out and pack in a desk or something along that line, but otherwise I'm not too hopeful :-\

Purple clones would be really cool, but I bet it will be Jedi too.

I don't know - the word "squadron" is throwing me off.  If the set were to contain Jedi, it would be called "Mace Windu and Crew" (or Posse).

You get the idea.

I think this set will contain clone troopers - I'm seeing a trend this year with Battle Packs.

Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Matt R. on April 13, 2006, 04:06 PM
My guess that it is the Palpatine Confrontation with the Jedi with

ROTS Repack Kit Kisto
ROTS Repack Agen Kolar
ROTS Repack Saesee Tinn
ROTS Relash Mace Windu (With Robes)
ROTS Relash Palpatine (with right Lightsaber)

But Purple clones would sweet.

I agree with your assessment, but Hasbro is sort of like dealing with the government.  Even if what they say leads you to think one thing, the final outcome is usually different and disappointing. ;)

Maybe  it's  a  pack  with  Mace  and  four  clone  pilots,  perhaps  with  unique  paint  applications.

Wouldn't  it  be  cool  if  they  turned  out  to  Mace  with  a  squad  of  clone  commandos,  Scorch  and  his  buddies?

Nope, it's gonna be Mace windu packed riding on top of a rehash vulture droid..that now has BD and wires to grab on top. Then on the right side of the package is going to be a mock-up arc 170 with 3 black clone pilots figs.

The moc up is like the gunship moc up for last year's Target set.

4 figs + something else like the Senate pack..the something else is a pod, in this one it's a rehash vulture droid.

Did you make that up Slothus or read it somewhere?  Sounds pretty damn cool...

Morgbug's idea of throwing in a desk or something if it's the Jedi vs. Palpatine scene would be cool in my opinion, even though Clones would be a better seller.  I just like accessories like desks/senate pods/etc.

Has anyone read "Labrynith of Evil"? My theory is that it'll be a squad of clone commandos led by an ARC Trooper like it stated in the book, which is when they assault the Works, a run-down district of Coruscant which they beleive where Sidious is hiding. The book takes place right before RotS.

My idea of this set:

General Windu's Squadron:
-1x NEW SA Mace Windu w/ SG Robes, Lightsaber, Hilt, And Pilot Headgear
-1x ROTS #41 Clone Trooper (Repainted In Purple Color Scheme) w/ DC-15 Heavy Rifle
-3x ROTS #34 Clone Pilot (Repainted In Purple Color Scheme) w/ DC-15 Rifle
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Roton7 on April 24, 2006, 09:35 PM
Judging by Hasbro's latest battle packs, I expect:

1x ROTS Mace Windu (crap)
3x #6 ROTS clones painted purple or something stupid like that (crap)
1x ROTS regular clone pilot (crap)


now, my dream BP:

1x new SA Mace Windu
1x Commander whats-his-face (the guy in the CW series who had red markings and totally kicked butt)
3x SA clones w/ red paint scheme

It should be clones w/ purple trim and BMF (Bad Moisture Farmer) on their back's....

I really hope they DO NOT include an Emperor figure.  It will be a horrible rehash and we already had one int he Skirmish at the Senate exclusive.

I woudl love to see the Purple or Fordo clones (with Fordo of course).
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Jim on April 27, 2006, 10:47 AM
I would not hold my breath if I was anyone about more clones. I feel 90% certain that it will be Mace, Kolar, Tiin, Kit and the Emperor.  With the Emperor being kit-bashed from the Deluxe version.

I hope this set doesn't suck by having previously released Jedi in it and then being stupidly named 'squadron'. Reality is telling me otherwise though :(. If it is what I think..(and I agree with Jim even though I hope he's wrong ;)) then it should sit a long time. After seeing the SITS pack not moving in my stores so far, I expect this 'squadron' pack to move even slower if it doesn't include cool, repainted, clones in it. :(

Post by: Jim on May 5, 2006, 01:12 PM
Yeah I hope i'm wrong on this one.   If it is these figs, the only way I wil buy it is if it has a new Emperor sans soft goods in red garb.  I really want this figure made.

Well, I'm at a loss at this one, being the "Defense of the Senate" BP is the ARC Team in LoE...Mace also led a group of Intelligence officers, so I don't know.

-1x NEW SA Shocktrooper Commander w/ Pistol, Removable Helmet, And DC-15 Heavy Rifle
-3x ROTS Clone Pilot w/ DC-15 Rifle

Release it at the same time as Mace's EU Starfighter and Hasbro would have a winner.

Those look like Purple Shocktroopers, with some shoulderpads. I'm digging that Commander though, and the Soft Goods cloak does WONDERS for that POS Mace. Thumbs up, I want it now!

Four figures... anyone think we'll see a large accessory like the Senate Pod in the Senate BP?

This BP looks pretty good, but I'll pass. It would look great with the CW Mace Windu Jedi Starfighter though. And it's cool we're getting a Parjai SquadTrooper, albeit not a Utapau one.

where'd this pic come from anyway?  the leg on the right, parjai trooper, looks photoshopped and where's the rest of his kama.  and the trooper on the left is missing half his leg.  the legion markings looks like the grey troops on Coruscant but purple.

No idea when it's coming out.  I was not expecting a purple airborne trooper to come out first but I guess it we will barring any other announcement of an orange one.  I am guessing they have an orange one but did not want to put yet another orange colored trooper out again so soon after having Cody and his trooper just on the pegs (if you got them in your area). 

I still have not bought that ROTS Mace Windu since he's crap.  That soft goods cloak makes him look okay since we don't have to see those funky shoulders.  The clonetroopers of course sell the set on their own IMO.  Pretty cool stuff.  I might even get that Mace Windy purple JediStarfighter.  Well probably not but kind of tempting. 
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Jesse James on June 8, 2006, 08:40 PM
This is sort of what everyone predicted...  with a twist.  Purple Clones and Mace Windu...  The AIrborne Clone is nice and hopefully leads to a carded Utapau release of this same figure in his proper paintjob.  I'll take him as the leader of Windu's Clone Legion for now though...

I really hope there's a 5th figure in there, otherwise this is a step backwards in bang for your buck.   :-\

Beyond that though I really like it overall...  I'll deal with the Mace figure.  Hell I can always use more of that robe even...  The figure is just something to chuck in the junk drawer I guess, but the Clones look fantastic to me in their EU-ishness.

Cool looking set, but, I'm a tad disapointed that the Cody body is being re-used. Love getting the Fox (or is it Parjai?) helmet though. I guess this means we'll get the orange one in the forseeable future.

Wow, this doesn't look too bad.  When I initially heard about it, I didn't really plan on picking it up - but now seeing this pic, I think I will - maybe a couple.  The clones look pretty cool, and I agree, I hope we see an Utapau repaint in the future.  Mace doesn't look too bad with the soft goods cloak, although we could still use an all-new, SA version.  Not too bad of a battle pack overall though, I'm looking forward to it.  Its going to be an expensive year, especially this fall with all the battle packs, vehicles, etc.

Ok, ok, I was wrong. I get it.

But I seriously think it will come by at LEAST september, regardless of what that page says. I mean, the page that had Endor pics said "coming in August", and right now it's early June, and most people have already found the Tatooine wave.

I dunno, I could be wrong again.

Post by: Darth Slothus on June 9, 2006, 09:00 PM
This Battle pack is a bit thin, for $25

I hope there is the rumored Vulture droid or better yet 2 of those Octopus Droid laser things as seen in the CW and in the background at Ki-Adi-Mundis death in ROTS on Mygeeto.


Let this(HAsbro's very own info) be and end to the rumors...

As Reid earlier suggested... There are apparently 4 clones- The commander and 3 clone troopers

I took this from the Hasbro Product page(at the bottom of the article)--

'Add these awesome figures to your collection! Mace Windu figure features slashing lightsaber action! Includes Mace Windu figure with lightsaber; Clone Commander figure with removable helmet, blaster rifle and 2 blaster pistols; 3 Clone Trooper figures with blaster rifles.'

So it's not a 'Thin' pack after all.
It's sounds like we're getting alot of guns from this set though!

Yeah, the Sloth is correct.

According to Hasbro (http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=browse&product_id=17584), the pack is Mace, a Clone Commander, and three SA Troopers.

With the inclusion of the clone commander, I hope it means we'll get a Utapau version soon!! I think everyone here would dig that.
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: CHEWIE on June 9, 2006, 10:30 PM
Yeah, a Utapua version would be great... until then, it might not be too hard to repaint one using pumpkin orange paint to make a Utapua one.

Wow.  3 SA Troopers, kudos to Hasbro for choosing them.  I had stopped buying any figures from the TSC line, but it seems I need to add this Battle Pack to my collection (and Mace Windu's ship, and the Hunt for Grievous BP, and the Gunship...  Willpower be damned.  ::))

Based on that smallish photo to which we were treated, here is a photoshoped version of a #6 Shockie with a Bacara pauldron. I think this is probably a close representation of what we'll be getting.

No it isn't. Ther is an antennae but it is clearly the #6 clone, you can tell by looking at the belt, and torso.
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Roton7 on June 10, 2006, 04:01 PM
The belt looks big enough to be the belt of an SA clone. And the torso looks like an SA clone. But that's just my opinion.

Oh, and that mock up is very cool! That pic is drawing me in even more! :)

To resolve the debate, I created the photoshop mockup (5 a.m. this morning) by cloning the Bacara pauldron and #41 antenna onto the #6 Shockie repaint, (I hadn't photographed the Skirmish of the Senate Battle Pack for the Yakface toyguide yet - but it's up now  ;) )

I wouldn't even waste the time it would take to do that.  The fact that they've made this one in purple shows me that they're planning on doing an Utapau version.  Enjoy the purple in the meantime.

If you look up the Hasbro listing for the Skirmish in the Senate (http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=ps_results&product_id=17225), you'll notice that Hasbro has that same error and lists it at $5.99 price too.

Just a Hasbro price error and nothing more - it should be $20 at Target when it hits the shelves...

Yes,he was in Battle of Coruscant and that is him(Karen Traviss was the one who said that was him),and he didn't die,that was one of his grunts,their armor is so similar that the only way you can tell him apart is by his unique Neyo-style helmet.;)

Even though I don't have the actual Mace JSF yet, I pulled out the ROTS Mace and stuck him in the ROTS Anakin JSF to see how he fit.  Not only did he fit pretty well (at least better than the Anakin and Obi-Wan figures packed in with their respective ships last summer), the headset from those Anakin and Obi-Wan figures (and the CW Anakin figure) fits perfectly on his head. 

So, if anyone is like me and was considering buying an extra Mace to put in the JSF, I'd recommend waiting on the Battle Pack and using that Mace for piloting duty. :)

Excellent pics Brent!  Can you give us a rundown on the articulation on the Airborne Trooper?
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: BrentS on October 30, 2006, 11:37 PM
Here's the "mini-review" I posted over at Yak:

The Airborne trooper looks like a really cool mold.  I'm not sure what figure its based off of (Evo trooper perhaps?).  The mold seems pretty faithful to the Utuapau airbourne troopers. The paint apps on mine are pretty shoddy (around the shoulder ammo pack and belt).  The accessories are really nice (pouldren and pouch) including the hidden pistol.  The helmet looks great but it seems hard to get the helmet to completely fit over the clone head.  The plastic for the helmet seems more sturdy than the AT-TE gunner versions.  The rifle is very flimsy plastic.

The Regular clones look like Purple Shocktroopers with a Bacara paudlron.  I really like the way they look.

Mace is what you'd expect.  He does have the Anakin ROTS evo cloak as opposed to the other cloaks they've been packing in other figures.

Bottomline - the Airbourne trooper seems to be superarticulated with the exception of the one shoulder that has limited movement due to the ammo pack.
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Darth Slothus on October 31, 2006, 11:47 AM

That's what I thought too. Plus another tip it's the #41 is the left shoulder. It doesn't have the removable shoulder armor like the #6 clone sculpts do.

My friend called a couple stores in the area first.  One told us that the "street date" on these is 11/19.   

What's with all the street dates lately?
Title: Re: Target "Mace Windu's Squadron" Battle Pack
Post by: Jeff on November 1, 2006, 10:30 AM
They are not "street dates" though, they are the Target planogram reset dates. 

The Target corporate offices send out planograms to the stores with a suggested reset date (in the latest case for the SW aisle it's 11/19).  That way, the majority of the Target stores will switch over to the new aisle set-ups at approximately the same time and 90% of the Targets will look the same when customers shop there.

To ensure that there is product to go on that set of shelf arrangements, Target will often hold back new items so that they have them for the reset date (and don't have the blank spots on the shelves). 

Target has always done this, the planogram re-set dates are just waaaaay more visible when it comes to Star Wars toys.  There is a bunch of stuff in the backroom (like the Tin Sets and Mace Windu Battlepack) that Target is holding simply for the reset date.  It allows them to "refresh" the toy aisle so that once a month (or so) there is new product out there. 

It happens all the time with other toy lines too, but they are just not as visible as Star Wars.  For example, last month, my Target had the Mattel JLU 6-pack (with exclusive Doomsday) in the backroom for weeks, but they did not stock them until they set up the new DC Comics endcap planogram in mid-October.  If you watch the toy section as a whole, you'll notice that every month there is some kind of reset somewhere on the shelves.

I think the Target planogram dates are just way more visible these days because way more people know and use the DPCI numbers to try to get stuff from the backroom.  Without having those DPCI numbers, you would never know about a "planogram date" - you'd just walk into the store and find new stuff one day.

I think the dates are more visible too because many frustrated store managers come up with the "street date" story as an excuse not to go get stuff.  Despite what those managers say, there is no Target corporate policy against getting something for a customer when asked (if fact, to the contrary they are supposed to do everrything possible to satify a customer with a question).

Precisely.  If they needed to spell, communicate or present their material well so it would sell they would have gone out of business a while back.  Lucky for them that kids will get toys with or w/o that nice windows and spelling is not a kid's priority.  Also some collectors will buy anything, so that ensures further profit.

I finally got to open this set up and I adore it! It's such a solid set, well if you forget about Mace, but for $20 bucks how can you knock it? You get 3 SA Clones with a new mold Commander clone, even if you hate clones or are tired of them, it's still a good deal no matter how you cut it. So go forth my collecting brethren and gather as many of these as ye are allowed!

TARGET PERSON:  Yes sir, what is the number?

I think that someone (employee) must want those BPs pretty badly...that sucks DoctorPadawan.

All in all, I had a pretty good experience with a Target (Beaver Valley if you're reading Jesse James) and getting my Mace Windu BP. I picked up one, so I guess they left five on the shelf. As I was leaving they called for a restock in toys so that's probably what it was. I'm actually in the process of converting the clones into more battle-hardened troopers, I'll post pics when I'm done.

I saw that, and that's just disgusting. I also saw pics of someone buying 20 sets, but then again, he paid for them. That one guy is going to wait for them to go on clearance (which will probably never happen, it's still a steal at 4 bucks a figure) and then buy them. What an *******.

Although within the next few weeks these should hit the shelves, it's happened to all the other Target exclusives around here. For some reason all of my stores always hide exclusives in the back for a few weeks rather than putting them out.

Strangely enough, even though that friendly Target employee I mentioned earlier in the thread said they had no idea what I was talking about, I walked into Target today to find this on the shelf.  Picked my requisite one up, and I'm actually really happy with it.  Even with the Orangutan Mace figure, the Airborne Trooper and the three Clones make up for his craptasticness.   I'm still a bit baffled how something that Target has no record of can suddenly show up on the shelves.  Magic, I guess.  ::)

No, the Airborne Trooper is at the very least based on the Evolutions Clone Commander figure and at best a new sculpt.  Either way, he's a new figure to me, since Hasbro would be insane to not mix and match Clone parts at this point.  He's got no action feature, is SA with a regular twist waist instead of a ball joint, has a new helmet and kama/suspenders and man-purse accessory, and includes one of the Evolutions style long Clone rifles.  In other words, he's not even close to the ROTS #6 Clone Trooper.

These are on sale in my area, a dollar off. This helped my get another set when they started telling me that they couldn't bring them out until the reset. I suggested that they have an item on sale and are refusing to honor the sale. They couldn't argue against it.

Also, I'm kind of disappointed in the "Fox" clone, the helmet keeps pushing off.

Tilt the chin up towards the ceiling, place the rebreather part of the helmet on the head first by hooking that part under the chin, push the helmet over the face, then push down on the back.  Works great, stays great, looks great.

Same goes for the Evolutions EIII clones.

Post by: Jesse James on November 18, 2006, 05:12 AM
I picked up my sets tonight on this one...  The rifle's not really cheap I dont' think, it's just the Evolutions sculpt which is actually more accurate to the movie overall...  It's not really flimsy, at least mine hold their shape well enough. 

Everything in my pack was warped from packaging though so I had to put all the guns and some of their hands into hot water to get them to retake their old shape.

I also noted that many of the figures had real stiff ankles and could've snapped easily.  I heated some of the ankles in hot water too, to just loosen them up a bit so they didn't snap at the pin.  Be careful guys.

I picked up one of these sets last week off of a Target endcap, and noticed that the whole endcap had now sold out as of this weekend.  Apparently they moved pretty well here anyways.  Not too bad of a value really though, especially considering the current price of basic figures.  Getting 5 for $18.99 isn't too bad.

I  scored one of these today at Target.  Luckily there were enough left on the shelf to be able to pick and choose.  Got one with minimal damage to the hands and weapons...though one blaster was still bent to hell. At least I got a good rifle on the commander.  I was on the fence on this set until I saw it in person.  Wasn't too thrilled about another monkey arms Mace, but the cloak hides it well.  The prospect of purple clones didn't excite me too much either, but they are more of a metallic purple...the effect is actually pretty cool!

Yeah I didn't mind the "value" on these mysefl...  Mace aside, 4 Clones for $20-ish isn't horrid, plus I can find a use for the cloak easily enough since hardly any Jedi in ROTS came with them.  Of my two sets, I gave one cloak to Kit Fisto and one to Sae Sae Tinn.  They both needed some duds.

The saber is good for the fodder bin since purple sabers aren't in abundance really.  Hand it off to Mara Jade maybe after a repaint?  She did use a purple one she built herself later in her story...  It's something to consider.

Does the 30 AC version come with a removable helmet? 

I got 2 with the Mace BP's, repainted one of them, looked at the pic of the upcoming AC version and noticed some subtle helmet shape differences.

In the Mace BP version, the helmet looks narrower and longer top to bottom as seen here in my pic:

(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1215/4803499/9957181/206943289.jpg)

However, if you look at the Hasbro picture of the version coming in January, the helmet looks slightly shorter top to bottom and wider:

(http://starwars.com/community/event/con/f20060718/20060718_picview_hasbro/img/37.jpg)

I realize that the rebreather in the 30 AC version has more black paint lateral to the black paint in the Mace BP version, maybe that contributes to the effect of a helmet shape difference?

One Target in my area put out a case of these for half off. I passed on all six, as I refuse to add Purple Clone Troopers to my collection.

I noticed this weekend that these were on clearance at our local Target as well, around $10 a pack.  I would think they would go pretty quickly at that price.

If anyone happens to watn the pack for just the Airborne clone and wanted to recoop some cost by selling the purple grunts, I'd be cool with that deal...  I'd take more grunts at this point and don't necessarilly care about the AB Trooper in the set.  Just a thought to those teetering on wanting this set.

I loved the AB when I saw the first photos, it is much more of a letdown in person. It makes the upcoming repaint much less interesting, especially when it looks like basic figs will be over the $7.00 mark when they start showing up with coins  >:(

its funny because the set is hard to find at Targets YET when i went to disney world they were EVERYWHERE. so i picked up two. the grunts were worth it. the AB was a good add on. im still going to buy some in its orange variation though. :-\
