Title: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: Jesse James on June 15, 2007, 09:01 PM
I came across my first smattering of the new Legends assortment this evening while on a trip to Wal-Mart.  I nabbed a couple AOTC Clones since that's a figure that has never really been at retail in good numbers, or at good prices...  Not that $7.10 is a good price, but it beats the piss out of trying to get them in the 4-packs in anything but a case.

I saw a handful, though the red clone was the only figure that was really uncommon (well, and the battledroids too I guess, as there was only one of each of those).  They had 3 of the AOTC Clones though so I nabbed them.

Anyone else looking forward to this one?  I'm real happy at another crack at this figure...  Really, it's a first crack since I never did see SA E2 style clones at retail ever.

You bet. I think I only saw the E2 clone once in stores back in '03 so I'll be picking up several. It's funny that they produced so few plain white E2 clones (which actually had screen time) and produce so many all white E3 Clones which never had any real on screen representation, let alone the having the antenna accessory.

I'll be grabbing every version of E2 Clone I see.

I'll be buying all the Legends ABers atleast 10 times. I'm buying this guy more than the others though.

Well Jesse should know this from my post in our local section..

I'm hoping to get 40 of them. Then finally I think my AOTC Clone army (grunts) will be complete. I'll only need a handful of the Blue Lt. when it comes out and I'm not buying the yellow, red, or green when they come out. (Jesse let me know if you are looking for those officers and I'll gladly pick some up for you.)

I do hope this particular clone keeps shipping in refresh cases. It was rarely seen on the pegs in this sculpt on card. And like Jesse said, unless you bought a case of them it wasn't worth it to buy a pack of 4 from Entertainment Earth.

I have three so far. About time this one was back on shelves.

Between the EE 4-packs, the two dozen evolutions packs, the Clone Wars versions, and the extras I've picked up over the years, I've got quite the pack of these already.

Combine that with the fact that right now in stores we have Airborne Troopers, Galactic Marines, Death Star Troopers, Rebel Honor Guards, SA Stormtroopers, Vintage Snowtroopers, McQuarrie concept Stormtroopers, ROTS Clones, Shocktroopers, and even some left over Green AOTC clones from the Saga assortment...  I'm not in a huge hurry to buy more of these.


That said, I'll probably pick up a few more.

I am really glad these guys are out again, and with better and whiter plastic. That said, I have three so far and I am aiming for a total of thirty by the end of the year.

I love me some SA AOTC clones.  When I see them, I attack the peg that bears them.

7 and counting.
Title: Re: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: iFett on June 16, 2007, 07:28 AM
I only have one and plan on picking up just a few more.  I also think it's kinda weird that we didn't get "attacked by clones" until only after Sith came out.   ::)

So when does this guy start shipping in his EE colors?

Post by: Darth_Anton on June 16, 2007, 09:52 AM
I pretty much had a full platoon of 36 (well, 32 white clones and 4 sergeants) by the time the Legeneds wave hit. I did pick up one to open, but that's it for me.

Got one so far... gotta see how many other whites I have before picking up more (but they ain't SA, so it's tempting).
Title: Re: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: Darth_Anton on June 17, 2007, 09:58 AM
Reorganized my clones and found that I've miscounted my Shocktroopers. I'll have to pick up one more Legends.

I bought a couple yesterday and another Shocktrooper.

Post by: DoctorPadawan on June 17, 2007, 04:35 PM
I'm going for between 12 and 24 of these guys (I have five so far).  I probably won't get any more of the officers, especially with the incorrect helmet stripes.  So far it seems like Saga Legends is shaping up to, at the very least, shoot holes in Hasbro's theory that solid cases of Clone Troopers and/or other army builders wouldn't sell.  From Wave 1, the only things that even hang around are the non-army builders; Clones of all three varieties and Battle Droids are nonexistent. 

Not the thread for it, but has anyone else noticed that the neck post on the Shocktrooper and ROTS Clone seems to be a little bit shorter than the last few releases of the ROTS 41 SA sculpt?  I was looking at the SL Shock Trooper next to some extra SITS Shock Troopers I picked up last year and noticed that.  Kind of makes you wonder why they still can't get the belt right side up. :)

Post by: Jesse James on June 18, 2007, 01:00 AM
I'm noticing the heads are a little wobbly on these.  Odd...  Not that it's horribly bad and you can't pose them, it's just not stiff and moves a little if you tap the figure.  It can hold a pose, just odd.  Love this figure though, it really is the figure that, along with the Deluxe Durge, ushered in new greatness in action figures I think.
Title: Re: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: MetalJedi on June 18, 2007, 01:03 AM
I picked up 2 of them. That's all I'll probably get.
Title: Re: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: Brian on June 18, 2007, 08:59 AM
This is one figure I don't think I ever saw at retail the first time around (Clone Wars line).  I got one with help from JediMAC back then, and since then I've picked up the Evolutions pack, and now two more of the Saga Legends ones.  I actually saw another Legends one when I picked those two up, but it had been an expensive week so I left it there.  If possible, I'd like to pick up a few more though.  Its a great figure, and much better overall than the Sneak Preview ones that were more readily available here at the time.  I hope they keep shipping these.  They could probably do a "Legends" like assortment of these clones, the "vintage" versions of the Stormtrooper/Snowtrooper/Biker Scout, some ROTS clones and assorted others and ship it throughout the year ;).

Hopefully by the end of this collecting season I will end up with four.
Title: Re: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: Diddly on June 18, 2007, 06:08 PM
I bought two of these earlier today. I'm not going to go too crazy on them but I hope to buy several. I never saw the figure at retail when it was in the Clone Wars line and I had to get them via the EE 4 packs from 2 years ago. This is one figure I'm VERY glad to see on the pegs, and I can't believe it seems to be pegwarming.

Have 8 need about 10 more.
Title: Re: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: CHEWIE on July 9, 2007, 06:10 PM
I've bought 6 of these... passed on 10 or so.  I'd get more if I didn't have so many AOTC clones already, including the white AOTC Evolutions version.

I think this clone is the best clone they've made out of any line.  Really the more pure white color vs. its Clone Wars counterpart makes this figure one of my favorite figures that I own. 

Maybe I'm burnt out on ROTS clones or something, but the AOTC helmet is really growing on me again. 

 :P

I'm around 6 I think but he's not been THAT common here yet.  I only catch them here and there, so far...  I'd like some more shock troopers too actually.  Legends has actually sold through a couple stores I visit but the back-ups on some of the figures are beginning.  Namely Vader, 3PO, and Yoda.

Post by: Nicklab on July 18, 2007, 11:37 PM
I'm up to three of these.  My AOTC Clone army is pretty substantial from all of the preview Clones that I amassed plus the Clone Wars Troopers and EE sets, but addming more Clones like these really improves the quality of the ranks.

 ;D They just rest on the pegs here...along with 30TAC clones..airborne,GM and other army builders(DST's)

I really believe the whole 'clone craze' thing is really burned out in my area.

Same here in my area.  I remember the whole U-Clone/Scorch craze which I think started it all, but it seems that most people have finally had their fill on all of the varoious troopers.

Post by: Billy Ray on July 19, 2007, 08:24 PM
I picked up two of them to go with the two I managed to find from the Clone Wars line.  It is still one of my favorite figures.  I don't really army build too much, but I wanted to round out my "squad".  I plan on picking up the various colors, other than the Sergeant (green), since I already have the Saga version.

There's like 2 or 3 hanging around my local WM that I pick one up here, one up there...  I'm wanting the last 3 (and the last of their Marines/DST's too), but I keep trying to restrain myself a little bit.  This year's hell with all the new, great stuff.  I've not been buying extra of anything for customizing this year. :(

Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on July 20, 2007, 08:51 AM
I found 20/20 of each, they will sell just not as fast as before. I wish they had battle damage and were not fresh from Kamino. I would have bought more but has anyone noticed how loose they are. The joints of the figure is not really tight therefore I will stick with the egg white EE versions. So I am actually getting rid of the ones I have.

I finally scored some Battle Droids they have been very difficult to track.

Amen on those battle droids. I finally found my first set today.

I too am getting as many AOTC clones as I can. I wish the Battle droids were the EP1 mold. However I like the paint app on this new 2pack. Just wish they didn't include the comnmander droid. I just don't need Droid officers. I want grunts only.

I'm hoping they do a 2pack of tan and a 2pack of maroon. (Oh and if they do maroon, having an officer in a set is okay as there was one in AOTC, just have that be a short run.)

I believe that a fourth variation of Battle Droids is planned for later this year, and it will contain the same droids as the current set but with no commander/officer deco.

Mine are definitely looser than the two Clone Wars ones I picked up (mainly the head), but not as bad as some folks have mentioned.  I wonder what the deal is?  I wish we could have gotten the larger blaster rifle with these guys too...between these and the Elite Clones I am running out of extras.

Post by: Jesse James on July 23, 2007, 05:15 PM
I'm guessing that the plastic used has a slightly higher rate of shrinkage than the past figures, but it may have a better durability life than the others as some of the past figures are yellowing pretty quickly.  At least that's my guess for the moment.
Title: Re: 30AC Legends AOTC Clone... You Buyin'?
Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on July 23, 2007, 10:49 PM
I think the EE AOTC tool is wearing down and thats why is so loose. compared to my EE ones its ridiculous the difference. IThe only yellowing I recieved is on my VOTC Stormies. Once I get my tantives up to squad par I think these will be showing up on my trade list....
I do not mind stormies with an off white makes it look more real especially on the PT clones.
