Hmmm..if this is a Tarhet exclusive, it could get pricey. Let's see, they charge 12 for one clone, so five clones should be 60.00!
White Clones in the gunship with Obi, Mace, an Yoda.I really think those guys in the Temple are the Blue guys
White Clones at the gunstations inside the star destroyers.
White clones laying dead inside the Jedi Temple.
That's hot.

The White Clones in the Gunship are probably the Grey Crew since in the next scene the Grey guys show up with Tarfull
To me, the only place I know they are, are on the Star Destroyers
The 5 pack Clones are supposed to be articulated, DP.

I was looking on ebay for local auctions to see what is out there and found this link:

Looks like he got them over seas by the asking price for the buy it now. Anyway, just wanted to share what I found. The picture really makes me want this set!

But please don't tell someone how many smiley faces they can put on an email just because YOU don't like it. And please don't give bogus statement percentages as if you're an authority at the census bureau and did the math( however if you did do the math and asked all 1142 members how they felt then I'll retract that last line in an instant )
Gonna have to disagree with the 97.3% of the folks that care if this set is fully articulated or not.
Oh well, I'm different and not with the majority-I'm 2.7%
There's only 280,000 people jammed into 3 towns here where I live and about 8 major stores to buy SW products
4 WM's, 1 TRU, 2 Targets, Kay-bee also Kohls if you wanna count 'em.
Where I live in SC there are alot of ATRT drivers,#6 clones(not painted), #41 clones on the shelves- if they stay on the shelf for 7 days at least 6 or more than that's how I justify calling it a pegwarmer- That's just me.
No offense back but... your 'definition' sounds great but it really has no place where I live. You know what? My stores(well there not really mine lol, but my area) havn't gotten any new figures in almost three weeks- I've seen all the waves go through up through #56 including all the revisions- How do I know ? we have 8 or 9 places to shop I go 4-5 times a week and communicate well with all our other collectors here. ::)
What I'm saying is since no new cases have been set out in
almost 3 weeks now THOSE clones are still there from then. I wasn't suprised today ..when walking with 2 other area fellow collectors how they agreed that they never thought they'd see the drivers/clone versions pegwarm. ::)
Believe it or not- this is a big beautiful universe
and there are different areas/situations then your own..LOL!
Of course on the other hand.. there are NO colored clones left here because myself and others have stripped them ;)
I am more optimistic in believing other people's situations
'cause I've been doing this for along time and have seen some crazy ****. Show me color variation clones pegwarming and then definately I would be pessimistic about THAT story however..LOL
Not too bad. I've passed on all of the "Battle Packs" so far, but I might have to pick this one up. I like the grey Clonetroopers and even the Bacara repaint is something different. Thanks for the pic, looks kinda nice.
Nice.
Especially the packaging. What with the one guy with his foot propped up and holding on to the imaginary ceiling strap..... and the Jedi Temple burning in the background...
I may have to let that box sit around awhile before I rip it open.
Better yet, buy 2 ;D
A box with 5 Clones for $25 (at least 4 of which were actually IN the movie) is a MUCH better way to go than 1 carded EU Clone for $14 plus shipping... :P
Actually, I'll probably buy two to open. :P
Yep, I'd love to get two of these to open. I'm just a bit nervous since it's a Target exclusive... I'd like to see it be a widespread release.
But this is the way Battle Packs should be!
:P

You said it Chewie! I hope these are produced in greater numbers.
So what's the guess on retail? $29.99? :-[
They're really going to milk this clone thing for all they can, aren't they....
Is this suppose to be out by now, or is this a fall release?
Tried the DCPI today and this rang up for 19.99 which I thought was weird since the regular Battlepacks are 24.99.
One costs$19.99 and it's a blue Bacarra with 4 grey painted clonetoopers. The 4 are from the Deluxe Clonetrooper with Jetpack. Obviously without the Jetpacks.
Unless and until I read something official somewhere (Databank, Essential Guide, etc.), I consider that blue commander to be someone other than Bacarra.
Picked one of these up over lunch at the local Target (using the DPCI trick of course).
I just got off with Target customer service. They said that it is up to each store, but the street date for these is the 16th. If they want to put them out early, they can and the 16th does not mean they will put them out on that date, even if they have them. ???
One of my stores has them in stock, but refused to bring any out. Why can't they just sell them to us?
The cases simply have a transition date of 10/16 and that is not a street date.

What exactly is a "transition date"?
Agreed. But I just don't know what to actually call him, so blue Bacara is the handiest thing to go with.
I'm much more accepting of the set just because it's 19.99. That's really fair for what you get.
Any word yet if there is production number on these? Are these shipping in cases of 6?
Wowzers! The more I see it, the more I like it! Even the "Bluecara" is growing on me.
Honestly, I'm worried $19.99 may be a screwup and they'll jack up the price soon ... probably before I can get my hands on one. :-\
As for the armor on this commander, I think I've come up with a reasonable EU-esque explanation for this. A lot of people have automatically assumed that the gear being worn by Bacara's soldiers on Mygeeto is just for cold weather ops, since they resemble the Snowtrooper armor of the OT. The background I have read on them is that the armor is actually a "hostile environment" type of field attire that can be used not only in cold temperatures, but also in polluted air, fires, etc.
So, I put forth the idea that Commander Bluecara is wearing the Bacara-style filter helmet because of the burning ash and possible pollutants in the Coruscant atmosphere due to the ships from the opening space battle in ROTS coming through the atmosphere and crashing, and the dead Jedi smell coming from the burning temple. Or one of the Clones had beans for dinner and Bluecara wasn't having any of that **** on his watch, literally.

Possible Clone Battle Pack Variant?

Dr. Padawan's point about the Mygeeto Clones is correct, at least from what I have read as well (In in the Insider this month... not sure it's stated anywhere else). Their uniforms are general purpose and I believe it even listed them as good for hot climates even. I do believe that come the classic trilogy that the "Snow"Trooper's gear is just a 2nd uniform Stormtroopers use in climates such as Hoth. Their snowsuits so to speak, but in the Clone Wars when the uniform is developed it's developed for the Galactic Marines and their random deployments to harsh worlds maybe.
Bacarra's uniform I think is no more whacky than any of the other commander's really. It has elements of the ARC Troopers which the Insider said is partly an homage to the ARC's while it also is also something to set the Commander apart and represents his additional training (generally ARC training) that makes him independant and a leader and whatnot. The Commander in the pack, like the red, green, and yellow colored COmmanders, maybe just uses the same armor type as Bacarra does for whatever reasons. Just as Neyo maybe isn't the only Commander using that armor type, and Cody isn't the only Commander using that armor, Bly, Gree, etc...
I don't recall the Insider explaining WHY Bacarra's armor looked the way it did. That article was disappointing really. It didn't touch on a lot of the Clone Commanders at all, like Neyo for instance or the BARC uniform, or the AT-RT Drivers I think.
With the sale at Target, I bit and bought this for $17.99. Looking at it, its well worth it to have this many clones for the price.
You're lucky, these aren't supposed to be on sale. None of the Target exclusives are except the TIE.

You sure? They're on sale in my neck of the woods, at multiple Targets.

Mike which Target you finding these figs? Mine has not put out the exclusives or the Clone 5-pack. The employees in my area are not cooperative at all when asked to look for them.

I've been to a few Targets around the twin cities and they are all different. ::)
- Some Targets have NO exclusives on sale (cases, TIEs, Mustafar, Clone 5-pack)
- Some Targets have EVERYTHING on sale (including the exclusives)
- Some Targets have "selected" items on sale
It's really strange. Some Targets have the Collector Cases on sale, others don't. Some have the Clone 5-packs on sale, others don't. it appears to be a totally regional random thing (probably based on sales or some other random metric). :-\
Even the #6 sculpt's vastly superior IMO. I wish they'd have used that since it seems to met hat they sure as **** aren't using it to make Red Shocktroopers given that I've yet to see one of those damn things.
I agree with your disappointment Jason, but the price makes it worth it to me... If I could find those supposed all-troop sets I'd likely cave and buy one or two more actually, but all my area stores have the Bacara in them.
I hate that sculpt as much as the next guy though, and if this was more than $20 I'd probably have bought my set begrudgingly. The troopers are ok, but there's such BETTER sculpts available that they kinda feel like a letdown. Even the #6 sculpt's vastly superior IMO.
