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. :(

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?
-
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).
-
Double the hunt, double the fun, double the loss of funds...
-
I'm hoping it'll be some sort of purple clones.
-
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.
-
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?
-

now that would be something they better be SA but then again we all know hasbro
-
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.
:)

That soulds cool and I was thinking the same thing, but I don't think the Pilots would be black versions.

When I thought it up I thought it sounded cool too..so I posted it. When Hasbro comes to manufacture however their version sadly will be nothing like my version.
-
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.
-
Yes, I read that and considered it.. Would be nice if that was it....but EU? a Battle Pack? Hasbro? I would be pleasantly shocked!

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
-
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
-
1x Commander whats-his-face (the guy in the CW series who had red markings and totally kicked butt)
I believe that would be the Shocktrooper Commander:

It should be clones w/ purple trim and BMF (Bad Moisture Farmer) on their back's....
I know it's been said before and i'd like to see it, but should it be AOTC clones or ROTS clones....
-
Yeah, Fordo, that's the guy I was talking about. He's awesome.
-
Yeah, Fordo, that's the guy I was talking about. He's awesome.
No, Shocktrooper Commander. I refuse to believe that Fordo would die so easily in the Battle Of Coruscant.
-
Uhhh...his name is Fordo.
And when did he die?
-
Uhhh...his name is Fordo.
And when did he die?
Fordo didn't die or was shown in the Battle Of Coruscant... But the Shocktrooper Commander got shot down by a MagnaGuard.
-
Oh. Well, It's Fordo. Deal with it. :P
-

No.

just cos his gunship was shot down doesnt mean he didnt survive
-
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).
-
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 thought commander thire was in charge of the shocktroopers?
-
i thought commander thire was in charge of the shocktroopers?
Doesn't mean there wasn't more than one Shocktrooper Commander...
-
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. :(
-
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.
We'll find out soon, I guess.
-
We'll find out soon, I guess.
i agree with Darth Nirvana we'll find out soon
-
We'll find out soon, I guess.

I disagree with both
We'll find out later/not sooner :P

How about...
"We'll find out whenever the heck Hasbro wants."

-
Heh, Okay that sounds good ;D ;)
-
Another idea for this set:
General Windu's Sqaudron:
-1x NEW SA Mace Windu w/ Lightsaber, Hilt, SG Robes, And Pilot Headset
-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.

SA Purple Clones and a Mace repack!
-
I would have liked some orange Parjai troops first for Utapau, but I'll take this x 5 and repaint.
-
Wow, Not what I was expecting. I'll take it!
-
Holy Awsome! :o
Kevin
-
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?
-
Purple?? I like that a lot, along with Obi-Wan's cloak on Mace (at least that's what it looks like).
-
I don't care about that crap Mace, but I'm completely stoked about the clones. If this warms like the SitS BP at my Target, I'm going to be rolling in Clones!
-
HOLY CRAP!
I don't know about you, but I am officially psyched about this. Those clones look...amazing. I'm buying this the instant I see it.
-
HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!! HOLY CRAP!!
Don't ever do that again >:(
Hells yeah, we finally get a Parjai, but its purple :-\ Oh well I'll just repaint them.
Does anyone know when this is due to come out?
-
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.
-
how acurate is that parjai? helmet looks accurate. now i just gotta figure out what the hell i'm going to do with so many Windu's ;D
-
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.
-
Anyone know when this will be out, or release date? I dig the purple Clones. Figured something like this was going to be. I wonder if there is anything else included.
roron corobb
-
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.
-
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.
-
I believe there is a 3rd Clone, not just two.
-
Interesting. More non movie clones. I'll end up getting a few just to have Airborne clones to customize. I was kinda hoping for the Red Clone Commander with the Neyo helmet from the cartoon though.
-
I'll get 1,I was thinking about getting the H&V Mace,but I can wait.
-
When is this supposed to come out?
-
I'm thinking July or August, along with the Endor and Naboo waves.
-
Endor and Naboo waves are due out in the fall Roton according to the hasbro site. ::) Here (http://www.hasbro.com/starwars/default.cfm?page=news&newsID=B004993D-D56F-E112-43B20BE5AA0320F6)
So apparently we can't trust anything you say ;)
-
I heard fall.

I "heard" fall too:
Click on this link and actually read what it says (http://www.hasbro.com/starwars/default.cfm?page=news&newsID=B004993D-D56F-E112-43B20BE5AA0320F6):
"coming this October!"
"Available at retailers everywhere this Fall!"
Yeah, I'd say fall is a safe bet. ::)
-
Okay, that's weird, I could swear I made a post already about the new photo. ???
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.
-
So far this set is looking pretty good. I will definietly have to pick one up.

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.

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.
-
The Tri-Droid (http://starwars.com/databank/droid/tridroid/index.html) would be a cool pack-in.
-
Yeah, that would be very cool
-
we may even see this picked up this week ;). Hmm Hmm HMMMM! 8)

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!
8)
-
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.
-
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.
(http://www.yakface.com/jayson/MaceClone.jpg)
-
The set looks pretty good. I will get one if I can find one.
-
Did anyone notice on the link that Jeff provided that the approximate retail is only $5.99?
???
-
I just noticed how the two newest CW vehicles have corresponding Battle Packs. The CW Hypori Gunship has the Hunt For Grievous BP, and the CW Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter has the Mace Windu's Squadron BP.
-
Did anyone notice on the link that Jeff provided that the approximate retail is only $5.99?

No, but we're going to hold him to that. He pay's the difference for all. ;)
-
Nice Mock up ther Jay. That looks really close to the small pictures, we are getting the SA mold rather than the #6 of course, but it looks good nonetheless. I'm definitely grabbing a few of these. :)
-
If they look like that, I may get a few sets.
BTW, that is a SA clone from the Senate set, notice the antennae?

-
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.
-
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! :)
EDIT: This is a little OT, but I call dibs on a PN based around the figures in this battle pack! 8)
-
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 ;) )
Good eye Ryan.
-
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.
:)
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...
-
If it was $ 6 I'd pick 5 sets up. :P Hasbro needs to fix that.
-
Uhhh...his name is Fordo.
And when did he die?
Fordo didn't die or was shown in the Battle Of Coruscant... But the Shocktrooper Commander got shot down by a MagnaGuard.
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.;)

Yep...Fordo is a stud

RS is reporting the first images of this set have surfaced at 4-inches.de (http://www.4-inches.de/inhalt/home.htm). I still don't remember seeing purple Clones in ROTS... Cool set though.
-
The pics show the back of the box "AS SEEN ON CARTOON NETWORK" I may have to break out my DVD's but I don;t remeber them....
-
Wow, it looks like the Airborne Trooper is a repaint of the Evolutions Clone Commander! Even though the Mace sucks, I'm looking forward to this set.
-
i'm gonna pick up probably 3 of those just for the air-borne trooper! But i wish that they had made an utapau battle pack with:
1x (Saga) Commander Cody
2x (saga) Utapau clone troopers
2x (NEW) Air-Borne troopers in a utapu repaint version.
I think that would make an awsome BATTLE PACK!
-
And don't worry they'll release the Airbourne Trooper in the proper color soon enough.

Did you not find any U clones or a Cody in the pegs? I'm wondering b/c you ask for a Cody and some U clones in every other post, ::)
We still have Codys and U clones in the pegs here so they should not be that hard to find.
-
The more think about this pack, the more I don't like it since it's EU type stuff. It's making me reconsider my collecting habits.
-
As much as I like the individual uniqueness of Mace's purple saber, I am not sure what to think about these purple clones. :-\ I would go overboard with these if they were all orange.
Well, at least we know we will get orange air-borne troopers in the near future.
-
Sweet looking BP,the broken wall acessorie is cool too!
-
the broken wall acessorie is cool too!
FYI, that's cardboard.
-
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. :)

Well, if it is anything like the last two target clone battle packs, we will eventually be able to get it for 10-12$. That is pretty darn nice for a group of clones, regardless of flavor. ;)

Boy, I don't know - we already have shock troopers. We don't have purple clones yet!

Always nice to help out!
Mace must have some obsession with purple. :P

I love this figure... Look at that sweet little pocket for a sidearm? That's just cool.

-
It's interesting that Hasbro would release an off-color airborne trooper before the one we saw on the screen.
Either way, I think the purple clones are sweet. They will look good next to the other EU Clones/Stormtroopers.

I didn't even noticed that the pistol was holstered in the medical pouch (man purse, indeed)! That's a very cool detail.

Or... it's the clone version of the "Jack Sack" from 24

I wants to get me a man purse now. :'(

You sissy. :P
JK.
-
You sissy. :P
What, you no fan of the 'Purse?
-
No,cool acessory though. :P
-
This set looks good, and is a must to go with the Mace fighter. Here's hoping they hit 4.98 like the skirmish battle packs!
-
I love this figure... Look at that sweet little pocket for a sidearm? That's just cool.
Clone Man-Purse Accessory ;D
Its an intergalactic carryall.
-
Its a messanger bag, he doubles as a mail man. ;D
-
maybe its ther incae he gets captured...and the seps will think hed cry without his man purse and let him keep it!...im really looking forward to these...and the paint doesnt seem to coplicated to miror and create a small army of them!
-
Here's a set I'm looking forward to opening as I see more and more pics. A little squad hanging out with Mace and his ship set up near the other CW toys will look pretty groovy. ;D
-
FYI fellows, this battlepack is out there, I just scored myself one!
-
pictures?
-
I was wondering when this would be showing up, thanks for the heads up.
-
pictures?
Here's a quick pic from my cellphone .....

-
Thanks for the tip. Me and a buddy scored these at our local target on a lunch run. I really like the Airborne trooper mold.
-
Cool, I see you're in Illinois. I should check my Targets here in Iowa.
Nice set for $20, can't beat that pricing for four cool clones.
Mace is a good "hand me down" figure for the boy's stocking this X-Mas!
:)
-
Good news. On the look out again!
-
My friend called a couple stores in the area first. One told us that the "street date" on these is 11/19. We used the DCPI number to get them from the back. Hopefully that helps!
-
Could someone post clear pics?
-
I'll try to get a picture up tonight when I get home from work. Boxed images ok?
-
Anyone have the DPCI?
-
This one was on the front page:
DPCI# 087-06-1797
I hope this is what you need. Good luck!
-
Thanks!
-
No problem. I'm glad that I was able to help you out.
-
Here are some loose photos I took tonight:

There is a third clone trooper but I just didn't bother to put him in the picture.
-
Thanks Brent, I was going to post some boxed images, but I think these are much better.
I really like that Airborne Trooper. I can't wait until next year's carded Utapau version.
-
Excellent pics Brent! Can you give us a rundown on the articulation on the Airborne Trooper?
-
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.
-
Good assessment Brent, after looking at mine I feel the paint apps could have been better too. It's a minor complaint at that and my only one for this set though.
The DS
-
Wait a second, are those #6 Quick Draw Clones? The legs look too wide to be SA...
-
I haven't opened mine yet, but while looking at the pack in the Target check-out line today they appeared to be #41's (antenna) with Bacara's pauldron thingy.
Like BrentS said, imagine the #41 Skirmish Shocktroopers in Purple instead of Red and then add the Bacara pauldron...
-

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.
-
Why was did it have to be WM that I got gift cards for my B-daqy of? :-\
-
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?
-
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).

Need extra Mace's clones? PM me.

I just picked up my set today and all in all, it's one of my all time favorite Battle Packs.

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.

Scored my sets today. I like the purple but I would of gone nuts on the wallet if they were just an ordinary battlepack with all orange clones.
-
I likey this set. The purple is sharp. Its pretty fantastic we get so many good clones. I'm also glad this forum can alert me to the horrid misspellings.

Like "likey." ;)
-
Exact-likey!
-
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!
-
I just picked up this set. It looks pretty good. But I think I would've preferred the Jedi cloak that comes with the Anakin and Obi-Wan that were in the Coruscant wave.

Conversation between yours truly and a Target CS employee earlier this afternoon via telephone:
TARGET PERSON: Thank you for calling Target, can I help you find anything?
ME: Yes, I was wondering if you could tell me the stock status of a particular item using the DPCI number?
TARGET PERSON: Yes sir, what is the number?
ME: (repeats the number of the Mace BP)
TARGET PERSON: Hold please.
(30 seconds or so pass)
TARGET PERSON: Sir, where did you get this DPCI number?
ME (lying slightly): I have a friend in Minnesota who works for Target corporate.
TARGET PERSON (lying blatantly): We have no record of this item. Goodbye.
*Target Person hangs up on me*
Hmmmm..... ::)
-
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.

You must have call the store where some &^%!'s brother over at RS is a Manager. This guy wont stop bragging about how his manager brother has stashed 17 sets for him.

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 *******.
-
the scalper in my area that i do trades with has five but wouldnt let me get one...it is a cool set, save that windu. i want four.
-
After being bounced around at a couple of stores, I hit paydirt Sunday and scored one. I like it, although they should make removeable helmets that completely cover the head. but it is definately a good deal in today's Hasbro market.
-
I'm still deciding if I should check, I'll probally be disapointed because I never found one. ::)
-
havent found any yet but i hope to soon
-
I went out looking for these this past weekend, but they were all in the back, and I wasn't about to waste 30 minutes tracking down an employee and waiting for him to find it. 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.
-

Way to go ??? I dont think I would be advertising that you buy stuff from a scalper here on the boards.
Got my one set today. It was in the back of course. They only had one case. This item will never hit my Target floor. Same as the Snowspeeder.
-
I picked up one of these for myself and one to trade. It's okay, but certainly nothing groundbreaking. The Airborne Trooper sculpt is cool, and I like the accessories. But I wish that the small blaster had a holster and wasn't being held in that satchel by a compression fit.
-

It ususally only takes a few minutes, if even that long. Employees are quite abundant - just look for a nice one. ;)
-
Meh, I havent found one. Is the airborne trooper based on the #6 Rots troop?
If he is I'm gonna pass because I dont like the looks of the troops either. :-\
-
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.
-
I got this set for one reason and one reason only. The man purse. The 1st ever bonafied Star Wars issued man purse. ;D

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.
-
Still havent seen hide nor hair of this in my neck of the woods. Come to think of it I havent seen ANY Target exclusives SW, JLU or otherwise. >:(
-
Finally showed up at Target in my area this morning. At least they finally showed up on the shelf. Have not had the chance to crack it open yet. Anyone know why the rifle is so cheap?
-
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 had to do the same thing to mine.

Always Christams! :P
-
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.
-
Even if you count Windu out, that is still 4 cool clones for 20. Can't complain.
-
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!
-
Doesn't seem that there's going to be a shortage of these. Good news for the casual collector.
-

Really ?I haven't found a single one yet.
-
I have seen over a dozen myself at different Targets.
-
Saw three of them last night.
-
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?

How did you get rid of the purple paint?
Just Paint over it or did you remove it(please specify how you removed it)
-
PM sent ATL.
Now, getting back to this difference between the Mace BP helmet and the 30 AC helmet...
Anyone else see it?
-
Yes!
The bottom looks(not really sure if it is like that ???)a LOT larger than the one in the battlepack.Not really sure about the rest of it.
-
I thought I had read somewhere that the Basic figure had a removable helmet as well. I'd bet money it does.
-
havnt seen this set yet, despite a target trip last night
-
I've yet to find one as well.Me and Target just don't see eye to eye especially when it comes to exclusives.Toy Nazis >:(
-
Target is sneaky, they do not put them with the rest of the StarWars stuff.
BTW, anyone know thelegion/battalion number of these guys?

I think you may have to make one up because they're is no real number.
As you can see
HERE (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mace_Windu's_Attack_Battalion)
-
I would not use Wiki as a source for anything. By its mere nature anyone can write anything there, hence the 069.
-
Where is this 069?
-
It was there when I went to the link. Some clown must have added it and soembody deleted.
Oh well.
-
And thus the Wiki system rights itself. Looking at the article's History (http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=Mace_Windu%27s_Attack_Battalion&action=history), the 069 line was added by an anon (anonymous user) and was reverted after a mere 1 hr 20 min.
(Full disclosure: I'm a registered user there at Wookieepedia with hundreds of edits under my belt; so, yes, I do have a vested interest in it.)
Anyway, back on topic: I haven't picked up a MWS battlepack, although I confess I haven't been out looking for it yet--lack of money and time.
-
;D ;D I finally got one as an early Christmas gift from one of my friends HOW SWEET!!
-
If anyone is still looking for these, you may want to check back at your local Target. I went today and they put out a brand new case. Funny thing was, it was in the same aisle as the 'Thomas the Tank Engine' and 'Bob the Builder' toys. Had I not been looking for more Christmas gifts for my oldest son I would have never even come across these.
Good luck!
-
These are long gone around here. I think Target has finnally figured out a good time to release exclusives without them having to go on clearance.
-
Put my Targets in the category of stores that have just put out a couple more cases each. Still selling well.
-
Yay! I acquired my first from a trade today. I love it. I didnt like how it looked in the box so i ripped it open. I love it even more! Very cool, I will need some more of those clones.
-
going to buffalo and florida in a couple of days. im just hoping ill be able to find one of these bad boys.
-
I found these at Target (duh!) on clearance for $9.96. I happily scooped up a couple. They had at least 3 cases worth I imagine.

woah $9.96 :o
now i really hope ill be able to find some of these tommorow.
-
I hit one at that price, some stores here in Minnesota still have them full price. Tough to figure-
-
havnt seen it since the price went down.
-
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.
-
Found them here yesterday at full price. :P
-
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 actually like the grunts more than the AB trooper.
-
dissapointed with the AB trooper :-\
-
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. :-\
-
I think this is by far my favorite Battle Pack. 8)
