Pineapple Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Does anyone know when the Clone Wars Battle Packs are coming out? I just got the 7676 Republic Attack Gunship and I need at least 8 Clone Troopers to go with the ship. Quote
Joey Lock Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 No one knows. This shouldnt be a Seperate thread. Discuss it here We are all hoping, keep faith in Lego to fire the Minifig limit guys. Quote
Derek Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 No one knows. This shouldnt be a Seperate thread. Discuss it here You're gonna get hell for that.... But Pineapple, They arent confirmed yet, Just rumors for now! But I hope thye're true! darthperson Quote
Pencoin Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 even though there people say they are 'rumors'. They are coming out and they will be coming jan 09 but you might beable to get em in time for christmas this year if they realsed a bit early Quote
Lego12 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 You're gonna get hell for that.... I hope you are kidding... And it has been mentioned in the 2008 picture thread, feel free to go there. Quote
THE-FORCE Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Hi Pineapple! I think it will come out in january, why I think this? The other battlepacks came out in January. In the Netherlands they first came out on 12 January! Greets THE-FORCE! Edited July 24, 2008 by THE-FORCE Quote
Joey Lock Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 You're gonna get hell for that.... Dude its the right thread. Its been discussed in there so I did what I thought was right. Dunno what hell you are talking about... Quote
Trudop561 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Not until next year, because we already know the remaining star wars 2008 sets. I think this clone battle pack should include at least 3 clone troopers with a commander or ARC trooper and a vehicle to go with. Edited July 24, 2008 by Trudop561 Quote
Dovchenko Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Dude its the right thread. Its been discussed in there so I did what I thought was right. Dunno what hell you are talking about... I think he's talking about acting like an admin. But he just means that sometimes, admins don't take their jobs being taken wisely... Quote
Justin2224 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 We got the Clone and Droid battle packs in time for christmas 06, and the other 2 for 07, so why wouldnt we get the new ones for christmas this year. Quote

Even if you get the battle packs for Christmas, they're usually meant for the next year. The Clones and Droids are for 2007, the Stormtroopers and Rebels for 2008. Sometimes they're released early for some apperant reason. However, in two days, the cash rolls in majorly. So who knows my friend? Quote
blackwater_park Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Does anyone know when the Clone Wars Battle Packs are coming out? I just got the 7676 Republic Attack Gunship and I need at least 8 Clone Troopers to go with the ship. Hi Pineapple, this is my first post but I'm a lurker, so I hope I am not chastised as part of the "already being discussed" confusion... Anyway, I'm hopefully picking up 7676 tomorrow but I'm equally non-plussed with the minifig count. However, have you considered making a ROTS style gunship instead? That's my plan. I picked up an extra battle pack at the weekend. Have a couple of clone pilots at hand from the ARC-170 ( hey, they aren't movie-accurate but I like those little dudes ), so I'm ready to go. Pros: -Really cheap to fill out the gunship. -You can have "proper" pilots without buying two V-19 Torrents! I'm not sure who I'll have sitting in the wingpods. Probably just regular ROTS clones. Would need to check Episode 2 to find out for sure if pilots were used as gunners. - Yellow Starcorps commander can be kind of made with the skirt and guns from the new Clone Wars accessory packs provided with 7676. - ROTS Gunship doesn't need those nasty big nose stickers. Don't like them at all. They won't be sullying the nose of my 7676. - Personally, I prefer ROTS Phase II clones. Phase I always seem a bit Flash Gordon in their styling to me. Cons: - No sidepods on this new version ( Not a big con for me - seats in the wingpods are enough of a bonus. ) - Sort of defeats the purpose of a new set. I think it will look great when it's all kitted out. Quote
yorkiejim Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 well some of us are picky and want phase one clones. . anyway, im sure that almost all of us are going to end up filling our gunships phase twos until said battle pack comes out. BTW, Welcome! Quote
Corvus Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 well some of us are picky and want phase one clones. . anyway, im sure that almost all of us are going to end up filling our gunships phase twos until said battle pack comes out. Yup. I know I'm going to be using phase 2 pilots since we don't even have enough figs to fly our vehicles... and there's no way I'm putting Rex in the cockpit. Quote

You read my mind! Im gonna get the RGS, 5 Clones packs and some Droid packs and the Hailfire, Spider and Droid Gunship. That will last me through summer. Quote

Thanks! Good to start posting. My mind will probably be changed when I get my hands on a new Phase One just for the sheer novelty factor. I just hope the kids don't clear out TRU Edinburgh at midnight! Quote
Pineapple Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 However, have you considered making a ROTS style gunship instead? That's my plan. I picked up an extra battle pack at the weekend. Have a couple of clone pilots at hand from the ARC-170 ( hey, they aren't movie-accurate but I like those little dudes ), so I'm ready to go. Thats exactly what I plan to do! Like you said, I'll be using the clone pilots from the ARC-170 and I'll pick up a few 7655 Battle Packs to fill the RGS. Besides, I think the Phase 2 armor looks cooler than the Phase 1. Quote
