Title: 5 most wanted repacks
Post by: CHEWIE on May 16, 2006, 11:29 PM
I thought this might be a fun topic, I used to love trying to come up with "what if" discussions...

So, play along if you dare...

If you could pick 5 figures to be repacked onto SAGA cards, and easily available, what would they be?

For me - here is my list.  I'd have to go with army builders.

1 - VOTC Stormtrooper
2 - SAGA/OTC TIE Fighter Pilot
3 - ROTS Battle Droid
4 - SAGA Imperial Officer
5 - ROTS SA Clone Trooper w/ interchangeable AOTC helmet

Anyone else care to play?  Or add why they want particular figures repacked?  Or why you may be against it altogether?

 :)

1. VOTC Stormtrooper
2. Evolutions Sandtrooper
3. ROTS Battle Droid - although I'm very hesitant because this figure still has not been done right
4. Evolutions EIII Anakin
5. Evolutions EII white clonetrooper with interchangeable EIII helmet (or EIII SA clone mold)

Honorary Mention: Preview Wookiee Warrior  :D


** In due course surely I'll be able to strike out the battle droid and EIII Anakin in favor of the VTSC Biker Scout and Hoth Snowtroopers

Great choices Dressel!

The Anakin Evolutions is a good choice... also maybe Wookiees too, but I do like the ROTS version of the Battle Droid.  If one is willing to get the action stands, it's such a great display figure and looks great having a squad of them set up.

In no particular order:

1) POTF2 Deathstar Trooper- really disappointed that he wasn't rereleased in the OTC waves last time. I know alot of people dislike this figure, but I like it just fine :)

2) VOTC Stormtrooper- never picked up one when they were first released due to price, but would really like a few (well, ok, alot ;) ) eventually.

3) OTC Cloud Car Pilot- strickly for customizing purposes

4) Jorge Sacul- really need the head for a custom of "The Director" for my diorama (I plan on having Lucas and a film crew situated in the very front of my diorama ready to film "The Saga" ;) ).

5) RA-7- would love a few more for customs.

Great thread, Justin...

1. VOTC Stormtrooper (clean)
2. Evolutions Clonetrooper (clean)
3. VOTC Biker Scout
4. OTC Imperial Pilot
5. Captain Antilles (best RFT to date)

Anyone else dig some ROTS Royal Guard (Red Variant) action?
Title: Re: 5 most wanted repacks
Post by: CHEWIE on May 17, 2006, 01:04 AM
Jared I am taking it your list is based on stuff you'd like to see carded?  Those would be great looking on cards, even as an opener I admit those would be cool.

Spectre I guess I'd go for some more Cloud Car pilots too... for customs also!

Angry Ewok I like your list too... I am wondering if the rumored Yavin guard might suffice for a Fleet Trooper, but I'm probably dreaming.  I'd be all over Red/Blue variants though on the royal guards... and then bam, Hasbro will hit us with a better Royal Guard in ROTJ packaging.   ;)

Repacks are hard to come up with, because they have to be good the first time. If I were to think of a few they would be:

VOTC Boba Fett with ROTJ rifle and not that ESB one they always include with him.
VOTC Stormtrooper (just because you can never have too many)
Saga McQuarrie Concept Stormtrooper (same as above)
POTF2 Spacetrooper (neat figure maybe they would include something accessory wise with him this time)
and the fifth one any great figure with SA.

This really, really clogged up the shelves for a while... but after that Empire comic series where the Amanamin kick the Imperial outpost's ass, I have to agree that I'd buy a few and make an army...

Paploo from AT-ST

Oh, come on Jim... Do you have this figure? It's a piece of crap, buddy.

Brad, I will take any form of ewok since we will always get hosed.  Throw in a few accessories and give the arms some articulation, repaint him and I am fine with it. 

Also, I know the Amanaman pegwarmed, but I want one released on a basic/single card to add to my carded collection.  I think it would look excellent with the yellow on black.

Great List Darth Slothus! Here's mine:

5. Cantina Han
4. POTF2 Luke Skywalker w/ original accessories
3. POTF2 Rebel Fleet Trooper (for JesseJames)
2. Throne Room Duel Luke Skywalker (everyone wants a DS II Luke)
1. Saga Deluxe Anakin w/ Lightsaber Slashing Action, without the sliced Geonosian

Right then. How about this:

1. VOTC Stormtrooper (if not, how about a retooled Commtech with VOTC arms and headsculpt?)
2. VOTC Chewbacca (alternatively Early Bird would be okay)
3. POTF2 EU Mara Jade w/ Evolutions Anakin lightsaber and new, smaller blaster (it'd fit in okay with the current "Expanded Universe" cards)
4. Saga General Gear Lando
5. Evolutions Darth Vader

Title: Re: 5 most wanted repacks
Post by: Jesse James on May 18, 2006, 02:22 AM
Do kitbashes count as repacks?  I'm gonna list them separately I think...

My repack list:

-VOTC Stormtrooper...  Hands down this is the most needed figure on the pegs in WIDE abundance at a price no higher than any basic figure.  It's a must, and Hasbro's jerking everyone off by not doing it.  Stormtroopers should always be on the pegs, no question.

-SA E3 Clones...  Not just white, but all paintjobs.  The SA sculpt should be put out (with both rifles) in 501st blue, red shocktrooper, Coruscant Grey, and Utapau Orange...  I'd mix in EU Green marking, and Neyo Red marking troopers as well...  And I'd even consider a Kashyyyk Camo'd trooper.  I know some dislike EU, but for me it's easy money for Hasbro and I'd gladly buy them as I like the different clone designs myself.  Mix it up on accessories and paintjobs and you could really have just a line revolving around Clones.

-SA E2 Clones...  White, and all the officers/non-coms.  These too should see the light of day on the pegs.

-VTSC Biker Scouts...  I don't want him repainted for Kashyyyk duty as they wear unique items on their armor.  I'd just like a straight re-release of the VTSC Biker Scout in the basic line.  I don't even mind what I've paid for the ones I have.  I'd love to buy more.

-Any Evolutions or VOTC/VTSC Figure...  Short of C-3PO and Old Obi-Wan, I feel that EVERY VOTC/VTSC and Evolutions figure deserves a re-release in the basic line.  Some maybe need a new headsculpt or some such, but all could see the light of day again IMO and I'd probably buy it all over again.

For kit-bashes though I have some other ideas...

-Imperial Officer...  Re-release the Imp Officer with the TSC AT-AT Driver's legs, and you have him in grey and black.  There's two great figures...  6 if you use all 3 headsculpts for both.

-Teebo w/Wicket Hood...  Repaint him any color you want, and he's a perfect generic Ewok Warrior.  Pack in any accessory and you're off and running with a great army builder.

Kitbashes are different to me than re-releases or repaints...  For repaints though, the Clones just seem logical to me.  Made up designs even work for me, so long as they don't get too funky.  I'd buy shadow troopers though, and other EU designs.  Why not?

Post by: Angry Ewok on May 18, 2006, 02:42 AM
Kitbashes, repaints, and repacks are all seperate beasts... Each horrible in its own way.

More wanted repacks...

Prune Face
Gammorean Guard
VOTC Boba Fett

Title: Re: 5 most wanted repacks
Post by: Jesse James on May 18, 2006, 02:48 AM
VOTC Boba's a good one...

I want a new Gam Guard that's more poseable, and same with Pruney...  I'd like a Prune Face with a removable eyepatch and a full eye underneath, that way you could have him double as the other prunies.
Title: Re: 5 most wanted repacks
Post by: VF/501 on May 18, 2006, 04:40 AM
My list:

OTC

VOTC Boba Fett
VTSC Endor Han
VTOC Stormtrooper
VTSC Scout Trooper
VTSC Pilot Luke

My reasons:

All are great SA custom fodder, Mandos, troops, smugglers, pilots galore.

PT

ROTS Red Royal Guard
ROTS SA Clone with extra AOTC head
CW Arc Trooper
POTJ Security Battle Droid
SAGA 06 Scorch

Again, all are great custom fodder and army builders.

Prune Face




I would love for this to be remade without the eyepatch.  Or have a running change with patches and without.

For a kitbash, I was hoping that Hasbro would of taken the Imperial Officer and given him the DS Trooper head and helmet.  Although not 100% accurate  I would buy multiples in a heartbeat.  Doing a running change to a grey uniform and we get both variations.
Title: Re: 5 most wanted repacks
Post by: Jesse James on May 19, 2006, 06:13 AM
DST's in ROTJ were wearing the jumpsuit so it'd be accurate for one film...  Just not ANH.  I'd still buy it, but it'd be really ideal if that kitbash had them use either the pack-in TIE Pilot's legs, or better yet the OTC TIE Pilot resculpts legs...  If it would work anyway.

I know the POTF2 pack-in TIE Pilot's legs fit the Imp Officer sculpt perfectly but they're not as nice as the OTC Pilot's sculpt.

I like that choice, but I'd rather see the earlier Saga Admiral Ozzel body used- better height and no indentions for the armor to clamp on, and- correct me if I'm wrong- I think the articulation was the same.

You are correct, articulation was the same. That body is less buff. I am fine either way,  just lose the choke hand & swap the arms.

I can't disagree, as I have 50 of them in various colors. My only gripe is the foot holes are too shallow.

Weighing pros and cons the # 6 is equatable with the #41 or #38.

I think I like the #41 Clone quit a bit better now actually... when I compare a #41 Shocktrooper (skirmish in the senate) to the #6 Shocktrooper, the #41 seems a lot better to me... the belt size has a lot to do with it to me.

#41 or #6 painted like the Shocktrooper or Tac Ops Trooper
VOTC Stormtrooper
Evolutions AOTC Clone Trooper in different flavors
Darktrooper (I want an army of these dudes since I have an army of everything else)
VTSC Scout, in both Endor white and Kashyyyk camo

I think all these figures except the Darktrooper can be offered until the end of the line and never pegwarm. But that could be the fanboy thinking.

You're entitled to that opinion.  But the thread was titled 5 most wanted repacks, not 5 most wanted repaints.  And like I said, IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, the #6 Clone Trooper is not the worst figure ever issued by Hasbro.  A little persective is not a bad thing.  After all, I didn't list the original POTF2 Stormtrooper for repacking.  THAT is an inferior figure.
