Title: "Jedi vs. Darth Sidous" Battle Pack
Post by: Reid on July 2, 2006, 09:03 PM
My picks for this BP:

-NEW Palpatine x1
-SAGA Mace Windu x1 (Makes It Easier For Me To Pass On This Set)
-ROTS Saesee Tiin x1
-ROTS Agen Kolar x1
-One Of Palpatine's Office Statues

I wonder if Agen Kolar is in this set, then which lightsaber will he have?  The ROTS figure has a green saber, but in that scene Kolar has a blue saber.  Kind of an academic notion though, since he's the first Jedi to get slaughtered in that scene.

The Salt Shaker Palps we have is a Grade A Piece of ****, so I really hope they give us one with soft goods and articulation.  But with Hasbro's track record with BP's, there's probably a better chance of seeing God than getting that figure here.

Wait, what about good ol' Kit Fisto? ???

There's no 5th figures next year:
Mace Windu (Next year re-pack whichever one is SA,Cloth Cloak)
Anakin Skywalker (Evo re-pack,Cloth Cloak)
Kit Fitso (ROTS re-pack,Cloth Cloak)
Saesee Tiin (ROTS re-pack,Cloth Cloak):
Palpatine's chair/screen thingy

This set WILL be all repacks

my picks

ROTS Kit Fisto (w/ TSC Pilot Obi Soft Goods)
ROTS Mace Windu (w/ TSC Pilot Obi Soft Goods)
ROTS Palpatine (w/ new hands, right saber hilt, Lightning on finger tips)
ROTS Agen Kolar (w/ TSC Pilot Obi Soft Goods and Blue Saber)

Post by: Nirvana on July 3, 2006, 11:27 AM
I would actually rather see Sasee Tin and Kit Fisto rather than Agen...he was a cool Jedi sculpt-wise, but he could never hold a lightsaber with 2 hands...

Saesee Tiin (ROTS re-pack,Cloth Cloak):

Where did you hear about the no 5 figure sets next year?

My guess is all repacks, being:
-Palpatine ROTS #35
-Mace Windu ROTS
-Agen Kolar
-Kit Fisto ROTS
-Saesee Tiin ROTS

Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on July 6, 2006, 02:02 PM
My guess:

-Palpatine ROTS (New Sculpt with Knee articulation)
-Mace Windu ROTS Repack (maybe new arm with Removable Hand
-Anakin Repack (Evo, most likely slashing with Hasblows track record)
-Kit Fisto ROTS Repack
-Palps Chair/Desk

Word!

This is one of the ones I'm least interested in.  I go with the above guess.

I am thinking this is going to be a sleeper set. All repacks. If anything I hope we at least get a good Palpatine with chair/desk.
Title: Re: 30th Anniversary Battle Pack: The Attempted Arrest Of Chancellor Palpatine
Post by: Rune Haako on July 9, 2006, 08:25 AM
New: Padme (In her outfit before Anakin goes off to save Palpatine)
New: Palpatine
New: SA Mace Windu w/ removable hand and alternate removable heads w/ one  thats clearish but still molded in his color that shows his skull from the Sith lightning.
Repack: Evolutions ROTS Anakin Skywalker (but now with articulated elbows.)
Accessories: Palpatine's chair and desk.

We don't need Fisto, Tiin, and Kolar again.

That would be sweet,but I bet one of the 2 basic Windus next year is bound to be SA so re-pack that one.

Post by: Gatillo on July 20, 2006, 03:04 PM
Too many.  Any over the SA version is too many.  If we got Vader 5 or 6 times then that is what I expect for Mace.

From the moment I heard this name I assumed it would be...

repack- RotS Mace
repack- RotS Kit Fisto
repack- RotS Saesee Tiin
repack- RotS Agen Kolar
repack- RotS Palpatine

I guess I was right, which is somewhat disappointing, but I really can't think of anything good that could've come out of this pack anyway.

Galactic Hunter (http://www.galactichunter.com/absolutenm/templates/full_article_template_1.asp?articleid=5662&zoneid=2) has some pics up of this battle pack, basically what we expected, as well as the recolored Hailfire Droid.  Again, figures we all have most likely, but it really wouldn't be a bad battle pack for a kid or someone who didn't get these figures during the ROTS run.  Big box o' Jedi. :)
Title: Re: 30th Anniversary Battle Pack: The Attempted Arrest Of Chancellor Palpatine
Post by: Gatillo on August 8, 2006, 03:10 PM
The BP is, well, unappealing however I like that Hailfire droid.  Nice colors.
Title: Re: 30th Anniversary Battle Pack: The Attempted Arrest Of Chancellor Palpatine
Post by: Roton7 on August 8, 2006, 03:31 PM
That BP is oddly appealing to me. I mean, it's full of crap, but for some reason I almost want to get it. I don't have the ROTS Kit, Seasee, or Agen, and the Mace looks kit-bashed...

But I'll save my money for a Mace's Squadron pack, instead.
Title: Re: 30th Anniversary Battle Pack: The Attempted Arrest Of Chancellor Palpatine
Post by: Jeff on August 8, 2006, 03:45 PM
and the Mace looks kit-bashed...

It looks like the Mace from the Saga Jedi Council Cinema Scene (http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=/swsaga/sw03ssJHC1macefr.jpg) to me... they just added the same ugly over-sized robe to him.

The rest of the figures look like straight ROTS repacks (with a few more ugly sg robes), so I'll pass on this one too.

Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: ruiner on August 8, 2006, 05:48 PM
Wow, so far we're 3 for 3 on Battle Packs I can pass on.  This one, the Jedi Duel, and the Sarlaac set.

Amazing, considering how cool the Mace Windu Squardron pack looks...
Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: jedipurge on August 8, 2006, 06:15 PM
depending on when/how much these clearance for I might get all these  battle packs-custom fodder galore  ;D, by the way who takes the pics of some of these things-the hail has both the bottom cannon and the missile racks pointing behind it- what the hell. :-\
Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: Diddly on August 8, 2006, 06:23 PM
I have all the good figures from that BP already. Pass. Though is it me or does the Kit Fisto look like a repaint?

Its an pass for me too, it looks FANTASTIC. Kids will probably go nuts for this,   I will wait for it in the clearance.
Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: Darth Depressis on August 16, 2006, 03:35 PM
the amount of robes and jedi i passed on during the intial run have me pondering this one. plus i'm thinking about combining the rock-em shock em robot  palpy figure with this one....

Somehow this has surfaced at a Chicago TRU already. Apparently it's actually TSC not 30th.

I already have the ROTS Agen, Saesee, and Kit. And I don't need the Mace since I'll get one in the Windu squadron BP. And while I don't have that version of Palpy, I'm obviously not going to buy this set just for him.

However, I'm trying to figure out what (if any) parts of the Chancellor's office come in this set. I can't tell from the boxed pictures....
Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: ruiner on September 25, 2006, 11:47 AM
I'd bet that all of the office "props" are cardboard.

Who's the sorry sap that bought both of those sets?

 :P
Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: Jayson on September 25, 2006, 11:52 AM
Yep, they look cardboard to me as well.

I'd possibly buy the Jedi/Sidious one on clearance just to get the robes. Otherwise an easy pass at full price.
Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: Dressel Rebel on September 25, 2006, 01:32 PM
This should have just been issued at the clearance price to get it over with.  No point dragging out the inevitable.

If they wanted this to sell they should have thrown some brand of clone trooper in there.

 ;)

I can't believe there are still completists in this hobby who go out to Target, banging down the stock room door if necessary, waiting to exhale while the stock boy brings these overpiced pieces of garbage out of the stockroom at $25 plus tax a pop.

It's no wonder Hasbro keep pushing this on us.

If I'm gonna pay $25 for this set, I better get 14 points of articulation on all 5 figures, and soft goods.  NOT a salt shaker Palpatine that just came out last year, a Mace that is an inch too short with too long "monkey arms", and 3 other figures that I already have.

Gimme a break already.  Hasbro can, and has, done much better than this crap.
Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: BrentS on September 25, 2006, 01:50 PM
I'm planning on buying this set for custom purposes.  Its got several very good Jedi bodies and soft goods robes.  The Palpy figure has some potential for other customs too.  However, if I were just a carded collector I could easily pass.  Hopefully these do hit clearance, I'd definitely buy a couple.

Title: Re: Jedi vs. Darth Sidous Battle Pack
Post by: Dressel Rebel on September 25, 2006, 01:57 PM

You could always get a salt and pepper shaker 2 pack at the Dollar Tree and save a few bucks, if you wanna go that route.
Title: Re: "Jedi vs. Darth Sidous" Battle Pack
Post by: Clone Hunter on October 5, 2006, 09:43 PM
I saw one of these today. It is just a pointless choice when Mace and Kit Fisto are hanging above them on the pegs. I just couldn't justify $20 for a Palpatine I want.

Still it is a good value for parents.

No, the mace in the squadron BP has monkey arms and a constipated face. its the rots one. all the recent bp's suck :P
Title: Re: "Jedi vs. Darth Sidous" Battle Pack
Post by: BrentS on October 12, 2006, 11:09 PM
I bought one of these packs.  $4 for a ROTS figures aren't too bad when you are getting them for custom fodder.  Its a stretch to use Mace and Palpy but I'll figure something out.
Title: Re: "Jedi vs. Darth Sidous" Battle Pack
Post by: Nathan on October 13, 2006, 02:17 AM
So have you confirmed the office is all cardboard and there are no unusual pack-ins (chairs etc)?

if you REALLY want that Palpatine which I strongly recommend not wasting any money on  :P , just check other tru's. mine has 25 in the rots package on really cheap clearance in a different section of the store. if that fails check ebay.

Actually, the Mace Windu in the MW Attack Battalion battle pack is the ROTS one again (you can tell by the elbow articulation and the action feature).

i have actually enjoyed my saga council scene mace windu over the years he has had to tide me over. i customized his ugly left hand by snapping off achk-med's left hand and gluing it on. it is a real beaut and, well, gosh darn it i LIKE him. he is, after all, the coolest jedi ever, right up there with even piell and kit fisto.

For those of us that are looking for these (Jedi vs. Sidious, Sith Lord Attack, and Sarlacc), has anyone else had a hard time coming across these?  The two Targets by me had one case each that they put out a month ago and have never gotten any more of these in stock.  The TRU and the WM's don't even have a spot on the shelves for these.  Is it too early for these to be coming out in mass quantities, or have I just missed them all completely?

Can someone tell me if the SG robes included with the jedi in this pack are the same ones used on the '06 saga basic figures (anakin, obi-wan) which i believe were also used on the figures in the episode 1 and 3 30th anniv. collector tins? Thanks.

i found mine at TRU today. i like how hasbro went the extra mile on that palpy. rather than just repacking it with the inaccurate lightsaber attached to its right hand, they gave us a brand new hand holding the repack accurate lightsaber. i just noticed that. little thing, but big difference.  :)  8)

Title: Jedi vs Darth Sidious pack sucks
Post by: brnbasler on May 29, 2008, 07:17 PM
Any collectors who were going to buy the jedi vs darth sidious battle pack that haven't yet I warn you its not worth it. When I took Darth Sidious out of the package his arm fell off. I couldn't get the arm back on for the life of me, co I ended up having to widdle away at his arm socket until the arm fit good. Also one of the Jedi's torsos comes off really easy. One of the lightsabers in the package broke apart. Also the Mace Windu figure sucks. The lighsaber doesn't fit very well in his hand at all.
