lowlead Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Are I'm the only one here who don't excited with the new Hoth set?... Nope. But then again, Yes! A Wampa and a Tauntaun are the only things I actually wanted. So, one stop shopping for both a Tauntaun and a Wampa (which hasn't been around for nearly six years) Oh, and maybe we'll get a snow speeder! ...sorry. I'll croak if they waste parts on that. I'm holding out hope that we're not seeing the full monty, but by 2016 perhaps a glorified 8089/7749 combo is all our $250 will get us. Quote
markw Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Shame there's only one stormie in the new TFA battle pack, we're going to end up with loads of those crew members with the odd helmets. Love the ugnaught though! Also love the Battlefront packs, great army builders and new alien rebels for my OT collection. Only not keen on the shocktrooper, looks more Clone Wars than Original trilogy. Edited November 7, 2015 by markw Quote
CM4Sci Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Oh, by the way, the final names are.. 75137 Resistance Trooper Battle Pack 75138 First Order Battle Pack Quote
JRBricks Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Can't tell in either of the pics, maybe it's my bad eyesight, but does Boba have arm printing? Is it the same version as the UCS Slave 1? Quote
ChiefPie Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Yes! I like the resistance battle pack but I'll have to get used to the helmets. The FO battle pack is nice, I figured they would add a ground crew. It would have been nice to have 2 regular stormies but I do like the gun vest trooper. I guess that's a officer in there too. Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I will be buying the new droid escape and the carbonite chamber for sure. However I am puzzled about the new OT stormie pack. What is that black line on top of the helmets above the eyes? Are we getting something different from what came in the advent calendar, ISD, and Slave I? Quote
StarWars8Spoiler Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 75136 and 75137 are easily my favorites so far. Quote
Vectormatic Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wow, thanks CM4sci! None of the DPs really fit my army (Imperial, but im not a fan of the battledamage)), but its all nice looking stuff, the resistance speeder looks excellent! Ill be getting the Obi-wan interceptor most likely Quote
strangely Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Good to finally see the droid escape. My one complaint is that C3po didn't get arm printing or side leg printing like the polybag had (And unfortunately I can't just swap out the part since the polybag only has one gold arm and no silver leg). Great build though, looks a lot better than their last attempt. Quote
Alfadas Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 75134 red stormtrooper Don't know what it is from, but it looks amazing! But seriously Lego, stop putting those hideous studshooters in your battle packs. Quote
Mymaker123 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 So, it's January 1st today! Hey kids, who wants to create the awesome Jakku raid where squads of stormies attack and burn down the village? Who wants to create the amazing ground battle in the lush forests and abandoned castles that were full of Stormtroopers being shot at by X- wings? Who wants to create that scene where tonnes of stormies are being shot at in a hangar by a TIE Fighter? Too bad. You get to recreate the Star Destroyer corridor scenes full of Crew members. Thrilling. Seriously......WTF LEGO WITH THE FIRST ORDER BATTLE PACK?! Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Problem with the battle damage is that it does not match the other OT stormies. I really had wanted to do a setup with Emperor's arrival scene in the DS, and basically the stormies need to be identical and not "damaged" for it to work. Besides, it does look silly that everyone will be damaged in the same spot. With that said, if that is the only difference in the printing, it could be salvageable with some nail polish remover and careful hands. Yes, I said it. Quote
Hulk_Smash Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Why do three of the figs in 75131 have yellow heads? Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 New book, wonder what the exclusive will be. Love those battlepacks! TFA especially, love the new helmets in dark tan. They have a new piece that connects like a visor. Why do three of the figs in 75131 have yellow heads? Visors, like the x-wing pilots. Quote
just2good Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Why do three of the figs in 75131 have yellow heads? It's a yellow visor infused with the helmet piece. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I'm only a casual SW fan and all of these figures are looking good to me! I'll definitely pick them up. Great new molds and prints. I like the jetpack and the helmets on the resistance people. Quote
Dragonlego27 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Thanks CM4Sci! Looks amazing! Seems like I'll be getting all the battlepacks except the battlefront one, as none of the figures really interest me. Can't wait to see the A Wing and tfa sets! Quote
Old Brick Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Even though it is small, love the cloud city set. Quote

Call me crazy, but cheap officers/techs is awesome, id love more cheap OT Imperial crewmen/techs/officers Although getting only 2 stormies in a BP is a tad meh if you are purely looking for stormies Quote

I didn't exactly want this but I did sorta expect some sort of officer in the battle pack (since hoping for 4 Stormtroopers is waaaay too ambitious). It's just the fact that for young ones buying this set, HALF of their entire First Order army is gonna be officers. 1 is fine but not 2, that's just ridiculous. There better be a few FO stormies in another January set like the Batlle of Takodona. Quote
