Ritz Brick Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Back again with another classic Minifig Pack review, this time featuring Battle Droids! Not many pictures I could find of this set, so I took quite a few. Set Info: Name: Battle Droids and Command Officer Minifig Pack Number: 3343 Pieces: 30 Minfigures: 3 Year of Release: 2000 Onwards, this one wasn't as ideal for army building since the MTT and AAT were both released in the same year. Front of the box showing our usual information as seen in the 2000 box art. Side of the box shows the usual suspects seen on the front and the cards. All 30 parts layed out. the Cards count as pieces. Here is what the display stands look like. Old dark grey might I add. Classic battle droids with curved arms and megaphones. Here's something we haven't seen on our battle droids in a while. Backpacks! Detail on the commander's head. and front Onto the cards. I digress I never payed much attention to the Phantom Menace so I don't recognize some of these scenes. I appreciate how both battle droids have different cards and information. The whole group together, probably my least favorite of the 4 packs, but nice nonetheless. Final thoughts Battle Droid parts do not age well, I might end up gluing these guys together because most of their joints have cracked. (cheap Trade Federation). All in all, these are nice to collect. Especially for me, back when I was a kid, staring at them in the magazines, knowing I wouldn't be able to get them. Well, look at me now. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks for the review 'Ritz Brick', it was the series of Star Wars minifig packs that caused Lego stacks of legal troubles with Haspro over figurine packs vs. construction packs. Hence the battle packs where half the pack are figurines and the other half some brick-built battle scene or vehicle. Brick On Review On 'Ritz Brick' ! Quote
The Ghost Racer Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Cool review. I very like old sets and minifigures. Classic battle droids with curved arms and megaphones. Those aren't megaphones but they are blasters. Quote
CopMike Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Those aren't megaphones but they are blasters. Well, that part doubles as both SW blaster and Loudhailer, and another word for loudhailer is megaphone. So you´re both right ! Quote
Ritz Brick Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Cool review. I very like old sets and minifigures. Those aren't megaphones but they are blasters. Making a joke, I grew up using megaphones as blasters. As CopMike says. Edited July 18, 2013 by Ritz Brick Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 "in space no one can hear you scream"... even with a megaphone Back on topic, I didn't even know that those sets existed! I left the Lego world just before, the last set I got was the 1999 Lightsaber duel. It's nice to see the "cultural" side of set reviews. And good job getting your hands on those Quote
Esurient Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Great review! Thanks for sharing this set with us, you are so lucky to get your hands on these sets! Quote
