Title: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-packs
Post by: Jeff on May 11, 2005, 10:57 AM
Since we love our Clone discussion here, I thought this pack needed to be separate from the other wave 3 stuff...   ;)

Looks like GH dug up a picture of the Colored Clone set...

Colored Clones, Loose (http://www.galactichunter.com/photo.asp?image=absolutenm/articlefiles/4447-001.jpg)
Colored Clones, Carded (http://www.galactichunter.com/photo.asp?image=absolutenm/articlefiles/4447-002.jpg)

So, will we see this colored set in addition to or instead of the all-white pack (http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Conventions/Celebration_III/Hasbro&image=IMG_0587.jpg&img=16&tt=) shown at Celebration 3?

Oh that is going to be tough on you completist carded collectors.  LOL!  Good luck with that.  I thought they would do the color variants.  Good move by Hasbro.

I might actually pass on these... reason being that the regular Clones are a lot easier to find for the ROTS line than they were in the SAGA/Clone Wars line, plus the quality of the regular carded stuff has gone way up.

So, I think I will pass on these... but who knows.  I really can't stand the lying down Clone though... that's such a dumb pose.

Yeah - I've never really liked the laying-down clone sculpt either.

If they needed a third "pose" why not have the clone standing at attention like at the end of AOTC when they're all lined up to start loading the transports. To me THAT would be a better pose then laying on the ground.

Post by: Darth Broem on May 11, 2005, 02:33 PM
I will pass on them to.  However, if they are like the Clone Wars 3 pack I will only see one once and that's it.  I still like the fact you get 3 figs for $10.  Granted they kind of suck but for army building they look ok in displays.

The laying down one has no use whatsoever, due to the new helmet design. He cant look up or anything. Useless. ::)

I don't know if I like them yet.  I suppose I will have a long time to think about it, since they'll be hard to find.  I wish they would do some color variations on the #6 and #41 clones.
Title: Re: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-pack
Post by: Nathan on May 11, 2005, 03:07 PM
Hmmm ... wouldn't it make more sense to do all three with the same coloration?  ???

In any event, I'm looking forward to these. As figures they aren't spectacular but they're plenty adequate for dioramas and displays where you're not going to play with them much anyway.

I just hope they ship the hell out of these so there's enough for everyone.

I thought someone from Hasbro said at C3 that there'd be colored variants of the Clone 3-packs again...  Or am I dreaming?  Pretty sure that's what they said though, so this doesn't come as a surprise at all to me...
Title: Re: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-pack
Post by: SilverZ on May 11, 2005, 09:58 PM
Pretty sure they confirmed the variants. No big surprise either way though for me.

There was a point in time when I really liked the 3-pack clones. That was in the time period when the carded clone was the near equally pre-posed AOTC red Clone, and just anything that gave variety was an improvement.

Post Clone Wars SA Clone, the EE 4-packs, its cousin the Target Clone, and ROTS #41 Clone, I could honestly not give two ***** about these. I'm in the camp of wanting all these paint variants done on SA Clones. And they're certainly proving they can produce the paint schemes quickly with these. There's no reason they can't do it on a superior toy.

Not really disagreeing, I never noted any lying down during the movie, but this pose isn't that unusual, just unsuitable. 

Way back in the day, we used to get generic army figures in multiple poses, zero articulation.  This guy is a hold over in someone's mind for a sniper from a bygone era.  I probably get more of a kick out of it because it simply reminds me of old toys that I used to play with as a kid.

That said, the sheer expendability of clones in AOTC has always bugged me.  I realize they are clones, but were their minds turned off completely.  Some of the battle formations must have surely resulted in multiple casualties from friendly fire.  If one or two were actually bright enough, I think they might have lived a fair bit longer than their compatriots leading the front edge of the charge. ;)

Whoa, slow down there, grandpa! ;)

Just because someone at Hasbro has nostalgia for the days before that newfangled "articulation" was invented doesn't mean we should bring back the old toys. What's next, a tin wind-up Darth Vader and a stick-horse speeder bike?

FYI, according to EE, one of the wave 3 revisions will have 2 clone 3packs per case. Makes sense.

I'll know for sure tomorrow when I pick it up off layaway. Im sure it was just the standing clone that had the red markings.

As for the box it coming out of I don't know. There were a bunch of empty cases boxes. I do know that it was the same ratio as the regular white ones. 1 Yoda, 1 Vader Rebuild, 1 Stass, 1 Clone 3 pack and 1 Spider Droid. They were the only ones from wave 3 there.

Title: Re: RotS - Deluxe Figures
Post by: Pete_Fett on June 5, 2005, 06:33 PM
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  :(

Nothing to be sorry about - now I understand when I found the remnants of around 10 cases of Wave 3 Deluxe figures at one of my local Target stores the other day ALL 9 or 10 Clonetrooper 3-packs were gone - if the four variants are packaged randomly, the person who found them was bound to need AT LEAST four, if not doubles or more if they are an army builder.

It's when Hasbro does something like this that just makes me sit back and wonder WTF? If they were going to make it that you needed to get four different three packs to have a complete set then they should have shipped cases of NOTHING BUT the Clonetroopers - two of each variety in a case that fit eight packs.

Then at least stores like EE or even shop.starwars.com could offer the case to the collectors so they could be done with a single purchase.

I was debating on whether I needed these, now the answer is NO.  I'm not going to chase down 4 different packs only to end up with 6 "unique" figures and 6 "repeats".   ::)

Post by: ruiner on June 6, 2005, 11:52 AM
Ughhh...did they not learn anything from the CW 3 packs??

You could ship these things as solid case packs (3 each of 4 variations) and retailers would have no problems with warm pegs.

I'm not even going to bother looking for these guys - I never found the CW versions at retail so why would these be any different?

Title: Re: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-pack
Post by: Darth_Anton on June 6, 2005, 12:25 PM
If there's anything we can count on from Hasbro, it's consistancy. They are not going to ship the varient randomly in the same case assortment, that's not what they did for the Clone Wars series. The white clones are in wave 3 rotation 1. I'm going to guess that at the very least, there is going to be four more rotations, 3 with a different color variation in each and one with all three in the same 3-pack. Hopefuly, they'll kick the quantity up to 2 per case, but that reamins to be seen. So when anyone finds a colored 3 pack, try to take note of the R# and case ratio.
Title: Re: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-pack
Post by: SilverZ on June 6, 2005, 02:07 PM
Well, this is incredibly frustrating news. There's just no way, if the current pace holds up, that I'll ever manage to track down 1 opener and 1 carded version of each set.

I've been on the road for the last several days, and have checked Targets, Walmarts, and TRUs from Orange County, CA all the way up to Seattle, WA. I've come across the clone 3-pack once, at an out of the way Target in WA, and only because I walked into the store probably minutes after they were put out. They recieved one case, and have no more cases in stock. They do have six pegs of Obi-Wans and Palpatines, however.

I agree that Hasbro needs to get a case out there that consists of nothing but clones, even if they have to include a jetpack one in there for variety. I find it fitting that the text on the front of the package says "Build Your Army!" and that at the ratio and rate that these have been distributed, there's a fat chance in hell of many being able to do that.

Title: Re: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-pack
Post by: Nathan on June 6, 2005, 03:28 PM
What a pain. :-\ I'm gonna shoot for 1 trooper of each color (pose inconsequential, assuming each color comes in more than one pose) for some semblance of completeness, and then as many of the plain white ones as I can get.

Thank the Force I open 'em and I don't collect packaging variants, or I'd go insane and broke.

I suppose they're doing this as a half-assed token effort so they can gouge us with the inevitable EE SA 4-packs later on. ::)

There's also the 4th Clone sculpt, the one holding the binoculars, that hasn't popped up yet... although there's been no confirmation of him coming, you know it is going to happen.

So the green kneeling pack is two cleans and the one green? This could get really annoying, real quick.  ::)

So let's see, we got a red Commander Thire who is arguably not even seen in the movie, jet pack clones who aren't seen at all, a $12.99 Target "exclusive" (eBay exclusive) clone that has Neyo legion markings, but not a Neyo legion helmet that has no role in the movie, 2 different white clones which barely have roles, and the 2 colored clones in the deluxe pack which also are not on screen.

Hrmmm.

Should we not have orange Cody clones, blue 501st temple raid clones, and red coruscant clones instead?

I feel like what we've gotten so far is from a different movie than the one that I saw.

On top of that, let's face it, these 3-pack clones look like total garbage next to clone #6 and clone #41.

Title: Re: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-pack
Post by: Pete_Fett on June 8, 2005, 10:57 PM
Something else occured to me regarding these three-packs...

Clones are colored in this movie not really by rank so much as unit. Sure there are commanders and captains for individual units, but for the most part a clone with red markings (like the Shocktrooper) does not mean they are all Captains.

So why didn't Hasbro make the clones like this:

Set 1 - All White
Set 2 - All three with the rust/red/brown markings
Set 3 - All three with the green markings
Set 4 - All three with the blue/gray markings

Afterall, the idea here is to "build your army" - well the Grand Army of the Republic doesn't have only ONE clone with Rust/Red/Brown markings, it has an entire squad of them!

For the CW sets this was fine 'cause the majority of the clones were white and only the ranked officers had specific colors. Someone needs to clue in the team who makes the deluxe figures that these crazy color paterns don't indicate rank, but instead indicate squad.

So again, to add insult to injury, not only does the one-variant per set, one set per case situation suck a$$, there's really going to be no way to have squads of ANY of the units represented by these color variants.

IMHO - they should have passed on doing this again and just picked three key colorings from the movie, like:

Should we not have orange Cody clones, blue 501st temple raid clones, and red coruscant clones instead?

And made three variants to Clone #41 and then shipped out cases where an entire case was either 12 Orange, 12 Red or 12 Blue and then just be done with unit designations. None of the others developed for background or put in and then dropped in the editing room even deserve to be immortalized in plastic.

Excellent point, Pete.  It seems a little odd to change the significance of the markings (ie. from rank to squad), but it would be nice if the toys actually reflected what happened in the movie.

I'd have to agree that the best move would have been:


Set 1 - All White
Set 2 - All three with the rust/red/brown markings
Set 3 - All three with the green markings
Set 4 - All three with the blue/gray markings

Title: Re: RotS Deluxe Clone 3-pack
Post by: Rob on June 9, 2005, 12:36 AM
All I know is that it took me a year and a half to track down all 5 color variations last time around - culminating at CIII when I spent $25.00 for a slightly damaged Red one.

Now there are 4 MORE varieties of basically the same thing, and I've only got a all white one so far - and technically I don't have it yet since someone found it for me.

Not to mention that I need one of the White Packs to open and one of the All Color packs to open (assuming that the single green and single red figure are the same as the ones in the all color pack).

So I'm still looking for anywhere from 5 to 7 of these things.

My prediction is that after this new set with the one red and two whites, we'll get a couple more similar sets, with one green and two whites, and then one blue with two whites.

AND THEN...  We'll get the set with all three colored Clones together.  That's the way Hasbro would make the biggest killing.  If they sell off the red, green and blue individually, one at a time, we'll all buy at least one or two of those sets just to stay "complete".  Then, they'll hit us with the multi-flavored pack that we'll just buy more of.  If they do the all-white pack and the all-colored pack straight off the bat, then we'd only need to buy those two sets to be complete (as far as loose figures go), instead of going out and buying all FIVE sets.  Think about it...  :-\

Granted, loose completists could lay off a fifth set of all colored Clones if they had the first four, but packaged completists couldn't.  But an all colored Clone set (as openers) would sell well regardless just for army building/diorama purposes.

Either way, it's gonna be totally aggravating, I'm sure.  More sets on the way, no doubt.

I noticed them in at least 2 places for a few seconds:

1.  On the gunship that Mace, Yoda, and ObiWan are sitting on.

2.  Manning the guns on the big cruisers during the opening space battle.

I found the 3 pack tonight with the standing clone decked out in the red polka dots, and the crouching and laying clone all white.  I picked it up, looked at it, and put it back.  Then I grabbed a crab droid and spider droid to buy.

The clone 3 packs are crap people, let's face it.  The 2 paint designs they threw in don't appear in the movie.  The arms are twigs (what's up with that?)  And on top of that, I find #6 and #41 clones every time I go to a store.

Now if the color variants in the clone 3 packs were Cody's Utapau legion, Coruscant red shock troops, or blue 501st temple raid, I'd probably suck up the skinny arms and funny helmet sculpt and buy some.

But these things are c-r-a-p crap.

When the Target clones hit, I was very concerned that I wouldn't find any, but luck was on my side and I did. It's weird, but I have a feeling these are going to be even tougher to track down then those, especially since I can't hit stores in the morning.

I'm the opposite...never saw a target clone (been looking on ebay for one, haven't bitten yet) but have seen 3 trooper 3 packs (bought all) and with help of another member was able to pick up 3 of the colored variety (2 rust and 1 green).

But these things are c-r-a-p crap.

I tend to agree wholeheartedly with this.  Gimme a 3-pack of #6 or #41...  At this point though, the 3-pack figures are just sad to compare with the basic figs.  The color variations aren't even nice looking (and that's beyond the poor sculpts and poor detailing through paint aps).  So they're a letdown to me, but they always were so I'm just not looking too hard for those... 

A 3-pack of #6 though I'd certainly love...  or #41.  I've seen #41 figures one time in stores, TE Gunners never, and #6 right up till Episode 3 hit...  Now he's just as rough to find.  Hell, even the Clone Pilots are dwindling like I figured...  Commanders were abundant for about 2 weeks but now they're all gone as well.  The power of Clone sales is downright scary.

Well, no sooner did I cry "I'm never going to get any" I got a red one. Unfortunately, I was able to confirm the very annoying fact that the red clones are in the same case assortment as the white clones.

Can anyone tell us what the green pack rotation is?

I hope Hasbro isn't silly enough to pack all four (maybe five) variations in the same case assortment, that means that for ever 4 Female Jedi's on the Barc speeder, there will be only 1 clone varient. That's scary.

With the amount of SA clones you have, you are not missing much.  Earth to collectors, these figures look like Steve Urkel dressed up as an EIII clone on Halloween or something.  Very bad sculpt, quality, and paint jobs.

I know I'm not missing much, but I've got that completist thing going here - I've got to find 1 of each on the card, at least 1 of each sculpt/rank variation loose.  So if the 3 white ones are included in some form in the various 1 color/2 white packs - then I won't have to buy a 3-white one to open at least...

I'm still deeply annoyed that Hasbro can't figure out that clones sell and therefore they shouldn't put ONE 3-pack of clones in the case assortment.  PLEASE have some intelligence and put 2 or 3 per case.  Three would make the most sense.   Even if it was 2 or 3 per case I bet I still would not have seen one in the stores...

Here's the break down of Wave 3 R2:

2 blue clone 3-packs
1 jet pack trooper
1 blue vulture droid
1 Vader on table
1 Jedi on Barc speeder

Almost a perfect case assortment, but 5 out of 6 isn't bad for hasbro.

So far I've found plenty of the Red/Rust variant, the Green Variant and the Blue Variant - but so far I've only been able to score ONE all White Variant.

Has this variation stopped shipping or are people still finding it?

I also hope that now that I have at least one of all four variants that they DON'T release the set that includes all three colored clones in the same 3-pack. If they do that I'll be super pissed 'cause all they REALLY needed to release in the first place was one set all white and one set of the three colored variations. There was no need to make us pay $40 to get a complete set of all variations ($80 of you collect like me and Matt and you get a second set just to open  >:()

I'm sorta glad, however I actually have liked a lot of the Deluxe figs this year.  Not everything was great, some sucked, but there were more hits than misses.  Part of me is glad if it's done simply so they focus on GOOD Clone sculpts over the 3-pack ones...

But losing good figures like Stass Allie, Crab Droid, and stuff like that...  That bites.

Perhaps...  It's possible they've whipped these up for themselves too, but weird.  I know this hasn't surfaced at retail so it seems odd that they'd get it for themselves.

On a completely seprate note...

My gf's kids have gotten more into the basic figures since they can actually sometimes find ones they like, such as the oldest boy got an AT-TE Gunner the other day and the youngest found a Clone Commander.

Anyway, the kids of course want figures I can hardly find for them...   ::)  But they're finding some stuff at least.  So the other day they were at Wal-Mart and each spotted the 3-packs on the pegs and their mother picked them up for them.

She asked me that night, "Do they take stuff back that's been opened?", and I asked her why she wanted to know.  She told me the boys had gotten these Clone sets and opened them but were mad at how bad the figures were.  The youngest boy's exact words were, "These things suck, they don't move.  I like the other ones".

So I was down over the weekend and they were re-telling me about their Clone woes, and I just laughed and said I knew how they felt.  :)  Kids say the darndest things.

What I remember buying vintage SW figures for was to give their cool coat or pistol to the GIJ I liked the best, haha.

The boys now want AT-RT drivers and a Clone Evolutions set after watching me putz on the computer without me knowing.   ::)  I can't find those FOR MYSELF.   >:(  Ugh.

Someone mentioned earlier that they thought that the Green kneeling one was the nicest out of all the 3-packs. I would have to agree, nice paint scheme.

I think so as well. It is one of only two packs of these figures that I have. The other is the one with the blue stripes firing in the prone position. I took a pass on both the polka-dotted one, as I didn't care for the look of it, and the all white pack as I would rather spend the money on a couple more SA Clone Troopers. I have never seen a pack with all three colored clones in it.

I just wanted to comment on the fact that these are finally starting to sit on the pegs for more tham 2 minutes after opening, which is a relief. Are people still having problems tracking them all down, or have you noticed the same thing?

Same here.  Target has about 7-8 of each of the blue and red clone 3-packs.  The same goes for the SA Clones which have been sitting here for over a month now.

It's nice to know that there is such a thing as a saturation point, isn't there?

Finally, some confirmation from Hasbro (http://www.hasbro.com/starwars/pl/page.news/newsID.740CF728-D56F-E112-4903D93E02A69971/default.cfm) that they never released the "one of every flavor" 3-pack...

"Q: I’ve seen multiple versions of the Clone Trooper 3-Packs with different color clones inside – how many different 3-Packs are there, and what color are the clones in each?

A. There are four different Clone Trooper 3-Packs:

* Three white clone troopers
* One red and two white clone troopers
* One green and two white clone troopers
* One blue and two white clone troopers"


I guess that one with a red, blue, and green was really just a mock-up afterall...  ;)

At least it will finally settle the arguement from some that still believe the multi-colored pack is available.

Hasbro had to have been beseiged by people asking that question. I'm surprised they didn't give a difinative answer earlier.

I'm not, it keeps people going to store to find it, and possibly buying other SW merchandse to tide them over instead…

Always thinkin' that Big Hasbro

On a side note, I wonder if these were made in the same quantities as the Clone Wars 3-packs?  The ROTS ones are sitting everywhere around here and have been for a couple of months.  I always had difficulty with the CW ones.  And prices for these on ebay are ridiculous.

I would guess roughly the same. I say this because they had to clearance out the clone war ones here at one point. Funny, I remember seeing more on clearance than I did at full price.

But yeah, the e-bay prices are insane.

Arrgh.  Don't tell me that.  I've still only managed to get my hands on carded white and yellow CW sets.  And that's because of what you guys said - the eBay prices are ridiculous.

(Although I was lucky enough to get loose versions of all 5 sets at a very good price thanks to jokabofe, so I can't complain too much)

I have managed to get all of the ROTS sets, but again, that's thanks to many trades from forum members.

I saw a set with the blue prone trooper actually last overnight at Target here. They had two last night and one this morning at 9am. Maybe even the speculators realized theses aren't worth the packaging they're in to begin with.

I've been seeing all the colors fairly routinely around here.  What I find funny is that even the flying Clone is tough to find with reshipping compared to the Clone 3-packs.  I wanted a few more jetpack Clones but I passed because of no $$$ and the next time I was out they were gone...  Lots of the 3-packs (red mostly out of the colors but white has been most abundant overall, but I've seen green and blue pretty abundantly too) still around though.
