Title: Anyone else army build with EP1?
Post by: TopJedi on June 5, 2003, 12:39 PM
Ok, so admittedly, I do have soem modern stuff in my collection........mostly EP1 and EP2 though.

One of my favorite EP1 figs and army builders happens to be the Battle Droids.

Anyone else have an army of EP1 figs?  How many BD's are in your army? I currently have about 15 in mine...always looking for more ;)

I don't have an army of EP1 figures.  I have two loose OOM-9 figures, and these damn battle droids don't stand well for crap.  Talk about some really cheap plastic.

I do have all the different Battle Droids (MOMC) and a few of the Destroyer Droids (MOMC), but I don't have any of them loose.  In fact, I don't have one single EP1 figure out of the packaging.

Loose, I only have 2 Ep1 BDs, and one OOM9 :(

I would like to army build, but BDs are still so expensive here. I actually saw the plain and the shot variations (both loose) in an indoor market today, but they were still 3.50GBP ($5.80) each. So army building is out of the question for me, at the moment anyway.

Forgot to add that I do have both DD versions loose, as well as carded.

Before the army disbanded it was up to 24 troops, and 3 OOM-9s.

Why did the army become disbanded?

I know a bunch of Canadians over at snowtroopers have armies of them (battle droids).  Wally world cleared them out at $2 or even $1 a piece, so lots of guys bought piles.  

Like Chris, I hate the plastic.  Even with stands these things are feeble.  Cool carded, dissappointing loose.

I have about a dozen EI battle droids and about 20 Arena battle droids from the SAGA line.

As many flaws as the SAGA version has, I think they're still one up on the EI version.  The EI version has legs that are too thick and a pretty bad pose, they can't hold the blaster with two hands.

I have about twenty BDs from both Prequels total, and maybe seven DDs.
I wish I'd had the opportunity to get about ten of each Naboo soldier. I only have two Naboo Royal Security and one Naboo Royal Guard.

Quite a bit.  I've got scads and scads of Battle Droids, Destroyer Droids, STAP's, etc.  Then add in all of my Naboo Security forces.  And then all of my Gungans (at least 40 if not more).  Yeah.  I army built in the EPISODE I line.

Well, I did have about 30 or so EPI Battle Droids before selling/trading them off when I became obsessed with the SAGA versions.

So, my Battle Droid count is -

SAGA tan - about 35
SAGA red - about 35
STAPS - about 8

I could use more of any version save the cream Saga version.  The Red's though, I could always use more of and it appears white/cream may be the color for E3...   The E1 droid's sturdiness came in handy.

I really don't have big prequal armies though.  E3 may change that, but E1 wasn't very inspiring and E2 wasn't exactly easy to army build with.  Red BD's weren't a dime a dozen as they should've been, and the cream ones were poor quality.  The SA CLone being the only Clone I want to army bild with wasn't easy to find, and isn't being made any "easier" to army build with by Hasbro...  $10 a figure doesn't equate to me having an army of 100+ clones like my stormie army is. 

Oh well...  Whatcha gonna do?  :(

I feel like an idiot, but I can't seem to remember who it was that helped me out on my red battle droid army... someone here hooked me up with about 10-12 of them...

I hope that the ROTS Battle Droid is easy to get... but at $6-7 each, I'll have to try and restrain from getting more than 15-20 of them.   ;)

I saw lots of red ones, and bought them now and then thinking they'd be semi-abundant but they dried up fast.  When the 3-packs clearanced they dried up too, though I always felt that BD 3-pack shoulda been one SBD (just re-release the Saga one if you ask me) and pack in 2 red BD's...  That would've helped a lot.

I got some, just not as many as I'd like having.  A 4-pack of BD's of a single color would go a long way I think, as a steady seller.  I don't think it'd fly as fast as the Clones, but I bet it would do well at the right price with the right quality behind it (IE: won't fall over under their own weight like the Saga white droids did).

4-pks would definitely go a long way... I'd like to see them come with 2 red battle droids and 2 tan ones... and some sort of nice big accessory - any ideas?  I suppose the STAP could be cool, but I'd rather see something new.

Right now I'm working on my imperial army. But when I'm done with that I think I'll go back and collect some more battle droids. I think I have 9 or 10 of the battle droids from TPM, 3 of the tan battle droids from AOTC and 4 of the battle droids from ROTS.
