Title: Your Battle Pack Ideas?
Post by: Greg on April 23, 2006, 05:11 PM
I recently got the Jedi Temple Assault Battle Pack, and I thought that it would be cool to have a set like that for Obi-Wan and his invasion of Utapau. Here's what I'm thinking:

-1x ROTS #1 Obi-Wan Kenobi Repack
-1x ROTS Black Clone Pilot Repack
-3x ROTS #6 Clone Troopers with Utapau Clone Trooper Paint Scheme

Included would be Obi-Wans lightsaber hand, 4 clone blasters, and 3 clone rifles.

-1x ROTS #1 Obi-Wan Kenobi Repack
-1x ROTS Black Clone Pilot Repack
 

Why Obi-Wan #1? Why not the superior Pilot Gear version? And I think Cody would be a better choice for that second slot instead of a Black Pilot.

Post by: Joe on April 23, 2006, 08:46 PM
I'd say a Pilot Obi-Wan, commander cody, and 3 clones....  infeior sculpts wouldn't make sense to me....but would to hasBLOW...
Title: Re: Utapau Invasion Battle Pack
Post by: Roton7 on April 23, 2006, 11:06 PM
yes, SA obi, Cody, and 3 SUPER ARTICULATED utapau clones, none of this #6 clone junk.
Title: Re: Utapau Invasion Battle Pack
Post by: Stiller on April 26, 2006, 10:52 AM
How about this:
1 Cody
3 Utapau Clones
1 Airborne Assault trooper (the one with the funky helmet-many of us thought of as either a medic clone or Sergeant Fox)

Now that's an AWESOME set, IMHO.

This way we'd get army builders, Cody, AND an ALL NEW figure.

Title: Re: Utapau Invasion Battle Pack
Post by: Reid on June 3, 2006, 04:25 PM
My thoughts for this set...

Utapau Invasion:
-ROTS Obi-Wan (Red Leader Pilot) x1
-ROTS Clone Pilot (Black Uniform) x1
-TSC Clone Commander Cody x1
-TSC Utapau Clone Trooper x2

Why? Because Obi-Wan was already on Utapau.....   :o

I think that instead of the attempted arrest of chancellor palpatine that they should make a battle pack of the utapau battle. Heres the figures i think they should put in it:

(Saga) x1 Commander Cody

(Saga) x2 Utapau Troopers

(New) x2 Utapau Air-Borne Troopers

That would probably be pretty popular, but I'd change it up just a bit.

- Magna Guard x 1 (new sculpt)
- ROTS Battle Droid x 1
- Airborne Clone Trooper x 1
- Orange Clone Trooper x 1
- Octupara Droid x 1

Here's an Octupara droid -

There is a solid chance we will see the airborne trooper next year...although i'm just going of the Hasbro Q&A , after all there is a big difference between-

"Wait and see"

"We currently have no plans to make this figure." :)

Title: Battle Pack Ideas?
Post by: Brian on August 24, 2006, 10:06 AM
Although many of the battle packs haven't exactly been real popular, particularly with collectors, it seems like they will be a part of the line for the foreseeable future.  We've also seen indications that the "exclusive" ones will be more collector-friendly, while the basic battle packs will be more for the kiddos.  With that in mind, and knowing what Hasbro's been doing with the packs this year, what would you like to see put out next year?

Even though it might not be real popular with those of us who already have them - for some reason I thought it might be cool to have some sort of "Cantina" battle pack.  Aside from the big name characters, one of the coolest things about Star Wars - for collectors and kids alike - are all the goofy aliens.  If you had a battle pack with assorted Cantina aliens (Hammerhead, Greedo, Myo, Feltipern Trevagg, etc.) and maybe a new - never before done - Cantina alien might be kind of neat.  If they need more appeal, Hasbro could always pack in a VOTC Han Solo and/or Chewie or a TSC Sandtrooper.  Like I said, it might not be a big seller with collectors, but for some reason a "box o' aliens" sounds kind of neat to me.

Of course, I think the packs with several troops are always welcome - and we have or will seen a few of those this year with clonetroopers.  I think Hasbro would have a gold mine if they started packing out 2-3 VOTC Stormtroopers into various packs, but we'll probably never see that.  It would be a good opportunity to stick in a fan-demanded character that maybe wouldn't sell as well as a basic figure (or they don't think it would), by sticking it in a pack with some Stormies and a main character or two.  Anyways, there is some potential to make these battle packs kind of neat - even if some of the packs are repacked figures.  Is there anything you would like to see, keeping in mind the basic formula for a battle pack (a few repacks or retooled figures, maybe 1-2 new figures)?
Title: Re: Battle Pack Ideas?
Post by: Scott on August 24, 2006, 10:22 AM
What I hate about the Battle Packs is that they started off really cool (the first 2 actually Hoth and Imperial Sets) and actually mixed in a few repaints and retools...then it suddenly switched to hit and miss either straight repacks or some cool repaints (Clone Sets) and maybe 1 new figure set each year (The Clone Wars Pack)

If and when the Ilum pack surfaces, I'd like to see if the tune is actually changing a wee bit.  Because I'd pay $20 for a new figure, a cool larger accessory and some repacks/repaints.  I won't pay $20 for 4 or 5 repaints.  Pretty easy...

for some reason I thought it might be cool to have some sort of "Cantina" battle pack. 

I can see it now: "The Cantina Battlepack: featuring 4 of fans' greatest figures: Cantina Han, Cantina Han, Cantina Han, and Tonikka Sister #1." To get the second Tonikka Sister, please purchase the second Cantina Battlepack which contains 3 more favorites!! Cantina Han, Cantina Han, and Cantina Han!!

I'd be suprised if it was. I don't know why Hasbro would bother resculpting for a Holo-figure.

I'm pretty sure that is the same set of articulated legs/ankles that were originally shown with the regular Cody. The legs have a narrower stance, ankle articluation and knee articulation as well. The same set of legs were show on the Cody prototype. I HIGHLY doubt we will get those legs, and I have to say I'll be rather frustrated if we do. If they can articulate the ankles on a holo figure, why not do so on the regular/more important version as well, you know?

hmmm, some good ideas. i think in a recent QnA, hasbro made it seem like clone armor obi and saesee seem very possible in 2008. i'd really, really like a roron corobb and voolvif monn. maybe a multipack featuring some of the beasts asajj fought on rattatak.

i would like a battle pack with barriss offee, 2 clone troopers in yellow, 1 clone commander yellow and some sort of machine

but i would say a utapau battle pack would be a nice idea, with the new obi wan released next year, tion medon, an utapau warrior, commander cody and general grievous

1 Airborne Assault trooper (the one with the funky helmet-many of us thought of as either a medic clone or Sergeant Fox)

Sergeant Fox? Sergeant Fox was a member of the 182nd Legion transfered to the 501st.He was the clone who said to the other clones "Let him go!" referring to Bail Organa.

The ROTS Crab Droid was to-scale.

really? i found it a little bulky.
Actually Crab Droids could be very large
The ones used on Utapau were small

Title: Lars Family Battle Pack
Post by: evenflow on February 21, 2007, 01:16 PM
I think that this would make a great exclusive battle pack. Give us young owen, beru, and cliegg lars with removable legs and hoover chair. Through in some droids or creatures and all would be well.
Title: Re: Lars Family Battle Pack
Post by: P-Siddy on February 21, 2007, 03:52 PM
I agree. I want the AotC Lars family, too.

Here's what I'd throw in:
Owen Lars,
Beru Whitesun,
Cliegg Lars with hover chair,
Shmi Skywalker (Lars)
Anakin? Not sure about the 5th...

But the Lars family doesn't really make a "Battle" Pack.
Title: Re: Lars Family Battle Pack
Post by: Jeff on February 21, 2007, 04:58 PM
Maybe not a Battle Pack, but it would make a nice 7-Pack like the exclusive Bounty Hunters, Commandos, or DS Officer sets we've seen...

Lars Family Moisture Farm:
 - Cliegg Lars (AotC)
 - Owen Lars (AotC)
 - Beru Whitesun (AotC)
 - Anakin Skywalker (Evolutions Ep2)
 - Padme (Lars' Homestead (http://www.rebelscum.com/swsaga/sw0336padmelhcardfr.jpg) version)
 - C-3PO (AotC repaint)
 - R2-D2 (RotS preview droid repaint)

3 new figures (Owen, Beru, Cliegg), 2 repacks (Anakin, Padme), and 2 repaints (3PO, R2).  A nice blend of brand new, kind of new, and old figures.

You're nuts.   ;D  I would so much rather have a pack of something like 5 shadow stormtroopers or 5 alien jedi for army building. Yeah! Of course, I'm a completist and need to buy everything, so if they make this EF, I'm holding you personally responsible!  >:(  ;)

Let's put "Battle" back into battlepack. Call it "Homestead Defense" and have Owen, Beru, and Clieg with removable gear(limb in one case) and weapons gunning against a couple of vintage tusken raiders. Hasbro can tweak the raiders with slight color changes, and maybe holes in the irobes to make it interesting.

Post by: obi-dad on March 16, 2007, 08:46 PM
Yes, we definitely need the Lars family, but name one battlepack that has all new figures, not based on ANY previous sculpts and well articulated?  You can't, because they haven't done that since the Cinema Scene days.  The closest thing they did was the new face sculpts on the poorly articulated officers in the DS Briefing set.  There was nothing new to the sculpts of Vadar, Tarkin, or Motti and the bodies of all the rest of the officers were based on the same sculpt.  If I remember correctly, the exclussive Lucas family pack was near $40 for 4 figures?  I must be wrong.  The son was a straight repack and the other 3 were new figures, but hardly worth $10 a piece.

We definitely need the Lars family, but they need to put it out in a wave and spend the money to do the figures right... maybe even send out some more moisture vaporators with them and of course, Clieg needs that hover chair.  I like the idea of the pack, but I don't see Hasbro doing that ever unless the price was over $50.  No need for another r2 and 3po in the set, either.

That would be awesome, but again, I don't think Hasbro would put that many all new sculpts in a set.  Besides, It would have to have Clieg at least, if not Shmi (the Ep 1 one left a lot to be desired).

Maybe if you condensed it a little.. like if it were just the rescue scene.

SA Shock x2
new mining droid

That would probably make more sense in a package.

This is an excellent suggestion for a Pack. Not a battle pack, but a great gift set. Like you said it's a good mix of new, repacks and repaints. That's just the kind of combination that Hasbro looks for.

Has this very question with this specific suggestion ever been asked in teh Hasbro Q&A?
Title: Re: Lars Family Battle Pack
Post by: Morgbug on May 18, 2007, 04:00 PM
All this time and no one even hinted at including a crispy version of Owen and Beru?  For shame. 

They could do a repacked Owen and Beru with new, younger head sculpts using the flashback Beru and Cinema Scene Owen.  Clieg with the hover chair would be all new.  Painful though it would be they could straight pack in Shmi, there must be a ton out there people would willingly send back to them.  They could back in some straight repaint of an R2/R3/R4 droid which wouldn't cost them much at all and we'll all be happy with a new R-series droid of some sort. 

With that they'd need a new figure, two new heads with repainted bodies, a repainted droid and a brand new hover chair. 
Title: Re: Lars Family Battle Pack
Post by: Darth Gamboa on May 18, 2007, 06:13 PM
I think the idea plays better as a holiday gift pack ::); We can have Clieg, Shmi, Owen, and Beru each giving C-3PO a piece of covering.

Clieg - POTD Uncle Owen; new head, new paint, resculpted legs(removable), soft goods robe.

Shmi - POTJ (repaint?)

Owen - moisture farmer Luke; new head, new paint

Beru - screen scenes Adi Galia; new head, new paint, longer skirt.

C-3PO - Ep I; resculpted articulated knees

accessories - storage box (Anakin; outland peasant), coverings (Saga C-3PO), Lars garage floor base (new sculpt)

Title: Generic Imperial and Rebel Officer battle packs or Multipacks
Post by: jedi_master_sal on May 31, 2007, 01:08 PM
I know I'd purchase a few sets of battle packs that include generic officers.

For these themes, I'd go with 4-5 figures per set, retail for $20-25.

Here are the sets I'm thinking of:
Imperial Officer set (gray uniforms, like the Death Star briefing room sets)
2 Lieutenants  (two red and two blue pips on the tunic)
2 Commanders  (three red and three blue pips on the tunic)
optional Captain  (four red and four blue pips on the tunic)

They all have the same SA body AND all the heads (differnet sculpts) can be interchanged between them, giving us the option to  promote and demote figures at will. This would greatly increase our Imperial ranks without costing you much in toy development as the bodies are the same. It would be just the heads that are different.

Hoth Rebel Officers
Look at Luke on Hoth, he has three pips in diagonal formation. This denotes he's a commander. So nothing above that.
2 Ensign (1 red pip)
2 Lieutenants (2 red pips in diagonal opposite corners on the badge)
optional Commander (3 pips in diagonal formation)

Again as with the Imperials, make the heads interchangeable. Each should come with their own removable hat as well, giving us even more diversity

Again saving you money by having the same body, yet appeasing us by the vesatility of the set by way of head swap and hat/no hat.

We've really needed some generic Imperial officers in the gray uniform for sometime. Not every figure needs a backstory.

Thanks.

I'll agree with a pack of generic army builders... I'd love it if Hasbro offered plain ol' cardboard boxes with plastic baggies. No flash art, no holographic gummy bears or fake coins... just figures and their accessories at a low price.

I'd SO totally get this set. Sure I wouldn't need the extra Neyo's, but they'd make great custom fodder, or giveaways, or trades, etc.
The Neyo speederbike grunt is good to build a little and the Target Neyo troops would compliment his legion nicely and at the same time help to distinguish Neyo from the rest of them.

Title: Re: Battle Pack Ideas?
Post by: roron corobb on August 20, 2007, 10:12 PM
One reason we have these battle packs is for Hasbro to make money on old tooled molds. If the figure in hard to make (ie with articulation, etc) you would not see it in a pack. One new figure should be the norm, but with Harbro the are trying to max the profit on these sets. Two new figures is pushing it in their eyes. I could see some of these battle packs, but the ones with all the vintage type figures and heavy articulation would be out of the question in most cases. Granted I would love to get 5 really cool figures in one set, but as it stands now Hasbro only wants to do Clone Trooper sets that are any good. You can see this with the older sets where we got some okay new figures, 3 to some as they found they are not worth the cost so then now they are all repacks/repaints. These are really only dream sets with most of what people have came up with, but if I could have a pack or two here are my picks:

Tatooine Purchase of the Droids battle pack:
TAC Jawa x 2 (maybe one with new head or even if they retooled an old POTF2 head to work that would be cool with me)
New Owen Lars (would like articulation, but might be asking for too much)
fill out the rest with some Droids (old and new, maybe some smaller ones like M-HYD, or any of those other droids would be cool)
And I liked when they added some diorama item in there, so a Moisture Vaporator or 2 would rock
I just would like for there to be no main characters

Funeral of Shmi Skywalker battle pack:
Cliegg Lars with hoverchair
Owen Lars
Beru Whitesun
Padme Amidala
Anakin Skywalker
but I don't think any figure that has been made before would work for any of them, so they would all be new. I know I'm dreaming on that one.

I think we all could come up with really cool battle pack, it is just if they would fit into Hasbro's view on them and can still make them the most money possible. That is really all Hasbro cares about in the long run anyway, because if they cared what we wanted I think all figures would have super articulation and be the most accurate they could make them.

Title: "Ultimate" Battle Packs
Post by: Brian on September 24, 2007, 10:42 AM
With all the talk about the Hoth pack coming to Target (likely sometime this fall/winter), it got me to thinking more about this "Ultimate" Battle Pack concept (which is what the Hoth's box says from what I can tell).  We know there is an Endor pack rumored as well, and hopefully we'll see pics of that before too long.  The Geonosian set currently at TRU could probably be classified here as well, as its big and more expensive (I'm not sure if it says "ultimate" on the box or not).  Anyways, if this is a trend that we'll see from now on - larger battle packs that are store exclusives - what would you like to see done in this line?  I think its a great chance to get that spiffy Jabba w/dais and a bunch of his cronies in a battle pack, and I'm sure there are other options as well.  Any ideas?

EDIT:  I see there is a "Battle Pack Ideas" thread in here already, so sorry if this duplicates that.  This is more specifically the "larger sized (and unfortunately priced)" packs, but if they should be merged that is fine.
Title: Re: "Ultimate" Battle Packs
Post by: CHEWIE on September 24, 2007, 11:08 AM
I think the concept of large Battle packs can go either way for Hasbro - major success or a big failure.  That all depends on what sort of quality the put into these, and the selection of items included.

For example, if they throw together a set from TPM, they need to be careful.  They need to decide what will really work and what won't.  If they put together a Podracing scene, I'd be afraid it would bomb big time.  But if they put a Battle of Theed set together, it might do ok.  For a set like that I'd be happy with an AAT, a Naboo speeder (new paint deco) and several army builders, and good versions of Qui Gon, Kenobi and maybe the Accension Gun Amidala. 

As for the Geonosis set, I'm passing for sure.  I think it's a good item for newer collectors or a good Christmas gift for a kid, but to me it's nothing special... now if they'd done something like this, I'd be more interested because it would be more exciting -

- Acklay
- Picador w/ Geonosian Rider
- Battle Droid x 3 (red)
- TAC Super Battle Droid x 1
- Evolutions Anakin
- Outlander Club Obi Wan (w/ new tunic that doesn't have a molded on lightsaber)
- ROTS Ki Adi Mundi
- ROTS Shaak Ti

That's a much more appealing set to me, and I'd definitely have gotten it then.

There's many more for each film they could make too.  I'm hoping for some sort of set from ROTS, a Wookiee Battle set could be very cool.

I think these are a win-win for Hasbro. The big draw is value and these are the exact types of gifts parents and grandparents like to buy for the holidays.

These are looking to be great sets and a nice surprise and I would welcome more.

Do we need another bantha in a box set though? Most TRU's around here still have tons of them. But I do like all your other ideas.

Hmm, Battle Packs, huh?  Here are some prequel ideas.

EPISODE II

Well, I came close with a theme here, but not the figure lineup.

Here are some OT ideas:

EPISODE IV

Detention Block breakout - Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguise, Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper disguise, Chewbacca w/ binders & blaster rifle (Early Bird), Lieutenant Childsen & 2 X Death Star Troopers
Yavin IV Medal Ceremony - Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker (30AC revised), Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, General Jan Dodonna


EPISODE V
Vader communicates with the Emporer - Darth Vader, giant Emporer Palpatine holographic head, holo-pad & meditation chamber
Escape from Bespin - Lando Calrissian (VOTC minus cloak), Princess Leia (new), Chewbacca w/ C-3PO, R2-D2 & 2 X Stormtroopers


EPISODE VI
Escape From Jabba's Sail Barge - Luke Skywalker, Slave Leia, deck gun, Sail Barge Nikto (vintage), Velken Tezeri, Sail barge Weequay
Death Star II Duel - Emporer Palpatine (new, softgoods), throne, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, 2 x Royal Guards (ROTS, but w/ force pikes)
Title: Re: Your Battle Pack Ideas?
Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on December 14, 2007, 08:22 PM
Darkside Duel
Sith Evo Anakin with mustafar dirt
Pilot Obi with mustafar dirt
Lava paltforms
Lava miner

As I look back on my first post, I see I was not far off either in what Hasbro had in store for us in regards to the platforms and Lava duel Ani/Obi.

I have a new idea for a Battle pack:

The forgotten shame of Lucas

Ackmena
Mala
Lumpy
Itchy
Chewbacca in Life day robes

I agree, but I think you'd find more room if you opened your sets.  I also think it's probably the only way we might get small playset type settings from Hasbro.

Well, the other way to get a small playset would be for Hasbro to cancel the battle packs and start up a new assortment of small playsets.   ;)

Nice thinking, but it will probably never happen especially due to their negativity in the QnA's on how poorly they think these would sell.  Looks like we're en route for large vehicles that Hasbro deems "playsets" instead.  No biggie though, as I always loved larger vehicles.

Tatooine Detachment

and throw in the Escape Pod (from the Deluxe Saga line) with a Tatooine Deco C-3PO and a R2-D2 (R4-G9 sculpt) and we're good.  8)

Post by: Keonobi on May 20, 2008, 10:34 AM
Any good battlepack ideas for Hasbro?

One I was thinking about was to use the throne C-3PO, R2 w/ net, plus Luke, Chewie and Han w/ poles so the Ewoks can carry them.  Plus a couple repainted, new, Ewoks.  I think Hasbro would only have to mold the poles as everything else should exist, plus a way to bind the heroes to the poles.
Title: Re: Your Battle Pack Ideas?
Post by: EpicGon on October 13, 2008, 02:21 PM
A Yavin Rebel Pilots battle pack, Biggs, Wedge, Luke, 2 astromechs, an updated Gold Leader

I propose Hasbro to make a Luke Pilot from Battle of Yavin, with the body of Wedge otc/ dutch Vander
with black gloves and boots. Or a battle pack from the Yavin Celebration Hangar
Luke pilot without gloves (with Dutch Body sculpt), Leia with soft goods dress, Han, two rebel technicians.

I've got a few BP ideas, some are Clone Wars cartoon series...

SKIRMISH ABOARD THE TRANQUILITY
Asajj Ventress, Ahsoka, Luminara, Commander Argyus

DUEL OVER ENDOR
Darth Vader (2008 TLC), Luke Skywalker (2009 ROTJ Wave), Palpatine (Evolutions retool),NEW Royal Guard

STARKILLER VS. MARIS BROOD
Starkiller, Maris Brood (with SA legs!), X2 Felucians

CHASING COUNT DOOKU (from TCW television show)
Space suit Obi-Wan, Count Dooku (w/o cape), Anakin, Battle Droid

The SKIRMISH ABOARD THE TRANQUILITY set could be all repacks, while DUEL OVER ENDOR would be a great way to re-enact the last duel from Star Wars.
