a'ready this is the Lego Star Wars Jedi and clone troopers battle pack this is
set very early on in the Clone Wars euro it's been a while since any phase one
clone troopers were made so this is nice to get more of those for folks who are
fans of that Europe I personally prefer the Phase two design but you know these
definitely were iconic to certain battles and certain eras and of course a
lot of folks who like these are more into the or were more into or are still
in more into the Clone Wars animated TV series which was itself very good they
only come with the stud shooters here no regular blasters still feel that Lego
should give fans a little bit of a win in including also some regular blasters
with these battle pack sets because there are small pieces you only need a
couple of them for for a set like this that only has two blaster equipped
figures and it would just make a lot of people happy without removing anything
in terms of the play value of the stud shooters themselves underneath these
helmets are angry clones that is perfect I'm so glad that they used the angry
clone hint there because that's what they were made for and it's perfect all
of these folks were clones of course so they should all have the same face and
this is absolutely ideal this is Barriss offee I'm assuming from
before the whole Jedi Temple bombing thing I'm just assuming just just a
guess they're a well-done figure this is except for the paint application on the
hilt of the lightsaber it's like a lot of the chromed or kind of pseudo chromed
light silver coated ones have been where it's just not completely solid but the
print on that torso looks really good it's subtle because it is you know dark
on dark but it looks really good to me the face looks really good there's an
alternate face to be seen here as well but the most interesting thing about
this to me is the inclusion of this lower piece which replaces the
standard inclusion of just a regular slope so this is kind of nicely shaped
you know it has a nice smooth curve and that curve goes very nicely
transitioning right up to the flat torso and get some print on the back of the
torso as well which is just as good as the print on the front the one thing
that I don't like about this piece is that it's designed to use a minimal
amount of plastic it's very thin and that makes it very light that means it
doesn't provide much counterbalance for the lightsaber so this is easier to
knock forward than usual there's the alternate face which is interesting in
that it's not strictly an angry face or you know a mean face or a straining face
kind of a an in battle face you can use this to represent you know strike being
made or something but you could also see it as kind of a smile you know like just
a kind of a serious face in general but then smiling so I think it has dual
purposes in that way there's just a clearer look at the standard face which
I think looks good as well and then here's ki-adi-mundi the wise old
conehead himself has pretty good looking prints all the way through lined up
pretty well from the torso to the hips to the legs so that's pretty nice looks
like he's ready to do some battle the specialized head add-on piece fits
pretty well and I think that the choice of color and also the style of
application for the print on the back of the head works works well too to kind of
suggest the continuation of the horizontal lines you know where you
don't have the ability to get the mold but I think from this lighting that I
have right here where everything is really bright and fairly even it looks a
little bit more different you know going from the mold of the top down to the the
print here but under normal circumstances I think it all kind of
blends just a little bit better when you get a little bit more shadow in those
those little ridges in there you get you know to paint applications with the
white and the black for the hair the top not there and of course he does not get
an alternate face because if he did well yeah well you can see yeah you get it
you get it and then for the actual build you get this supposedly speeder which
has very very strong kind of micro fighter republic gunship la 80 vibes
going on with it I could I could see this as having been
like an original classic Kenner mini vehicle take on a Imperial gunship you
know just to have a smaller vehicle based on that design to be able to sell
it a lower price but it only holds one person unfortunately would have been
much nicer in my opinion if they had included a way a simple way to put the
second clone trooper on there on here I mean they did include two clone troopers
in the set so why not give us the ability to put both of them on to the
so-called speeder this has a couple of stud shooters at the front you can also
use these of course as as turrets just turn those are a little bit stiff the
way they're attached there but you can rotate those around the the wings are
slanted down an angle but you can also bring them up to the horizontal you can
also bring them up beyond that starts to look like one of those wookie gunships
relatively to me the green right there the green plates on the sides just keep
the the wings from going down too far and just has a single engine on the back
and that's that you can get a little bit easier access to put in the figure in
taking it out just by moving the canopy forward but that's really just that so
it's intended to be just a single person attack speeder and I think it looks
pretty cool I think it's good for a play just would have been better if there was
a second seat that's about it for this set again I'm happy for fans of the
phase one clone troopers that those are available again the two Jedi figures are
good not that big of a fan of that lower piece for Barris I mean it does look
good in terms of its shape but really could have used a little bit more weight
there because yeah with a lightsaber out it really does come very close to
wanting to fall forward other than that I think it looks really good
speeder yeah could have used a second seat but it looks pretty good and I
think it's just ready for some customization I mean you can easily just
take off this grille piece if you want put a second
trooper up there you know do some other customizations and make it a little bit
better to taste as it is it's a fine toy and the overall set is pretty good it's
just not perfect in my opinion so there you go those are my thoughts thanks for
watching I'll talk to you soon
