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.
