Totally agree with your rankings. I missed out on the Stormtrooper set because they were impossible to get over here. I do have the Shoretrooper, Clonetrooper, and RFT packs and they are awesome. Looking forward to the Tuskens and hopefully some Endor Rebel Soldiers with updated hips.
Oh yeah that’s right, the 1st few sets weren’t available for many countries since Pulse hadn’t expanded. The Tuskens are going to be great, and I’m VERY excited for the potential of the first ball jointed Rebel Trooper TVC 🙌😃✨
Big fan of your Channel here MAKM!! I’m on the edge of my seat hoping for a rebel commando 4 pack as well. I’m pretty picky what figures I buy, but I would probably buy two of those packs regardless of price.
@@conradpad5811 if they update the hips on those Rebel troops I am going to have to go all in, I’ve been wanting better articulation on those Rebels for a while. Hopefully we can also see some Rebel Pathfinders for our Scariff displays 😎
Can you do an updated video of this once you get your hands on the latest rebel pilots pack. I love seeing them all together and your thoughts on how they compare and quite a lot have came out since this video
5:55 I appreciate you acknowledging that the rebel fleet trooper figure was based on LucasFilms head artist Doug Chang, rather then just calling it an Asian Fleet Trooper. I have that rebel fleet trooper 4 pack and when I first opened it and saw the figure, I thought it looked exactly like Doug Chang, and the figure must be based on him, "what a nice tribute", I thought. But then, I would watch other channels review this set and they would just refer that figure as the Asian figure, or a diversity figure, except yours, so Thank you!
Oh absolutely, Doug is such an amazing artist, fan and Star Wars contributor! I was beyond excited to see him included in this trooper set when it was first announced. I am a big fan of his and it's definitely a bummer when people fail to realize that it's him. I'm sure he was delighted to have his likeness scanned for the photo real paint applications on a 1/18th scale Star Wars action figure, what an awesome project. Thank you for the kind words and support. This is the way!✨✌️😃 😃😃✌️✨
Excellent video I would pick stormtroopers . Or deathtroopers or tusken raider or wookies warriors .or shoretroopers .or hoth rebel soldiers. Or tie fighters pilots. Toys are the way .
I highly agree with your rankings and when i first got myself 2 packs of those storm troopers i was thinking what a time to live for army building. great video! :) i will say i dont like the price increases though defeats the purpose. especially since they aren't even carded, not sure how they justify it.
✌️😃 Thank you!! Yeah the price increases haven’t been ideal for adding lots of troops to our collections. That stormtrooper pack was perfect, an exceptional figure, reasonably priced, and ready for mass army building. Hopefully we see the ANH version next.
Yeah I would imagine that retro collectors would like to recreate the emperors arrival or some imperial displays. I'm not a huge retro fan and don't keep track of the availability, are large numbers of the stormtroopers hard to come by? ✨✨✌️😎✌️✨✨
My favorite was the Shore troopers, there was a lot of variety. Stormtroopers were great as well. I hope we get purge trooper phase 2 and Endor rebel troopers next. Pyke syndicate soldiers would also be great.
Yep!! Those Shoretroopers are awesome man. I can’t wait for Rebel Endor troopers, who will hopefully have updated ball jointed hips! A pyke set would be really smart as well ✨✨😎✨✨
Stormtroopers are a must, they really should always have that 4-pack available for seasoned and new collectors. I also really hope they release the ANH release in a 4-pack sometime soon. ✨🙌✨
They were released a long time ago on Hasbro Pulse, and since then they have moved on to other characters. Currently you can pre order the Stormtrooper on card through all retailers. ✨🙌😎🙌✨
Yea man, $41.99 to $59.99 is a huge increase. I have purchased every 4 pack and bought at leaset 2 of each, but now with the price change, I will only be buying one 4 pack of each. I haven't even put any on pre-order, don't care as much anymore. Great video though!
Thanks man!! Yeah the price increase is definitely frustrating. Fortunately they are still $14.99 a figure which is lower than the current mainline figure price, but it’s concerning for sure if we are questioning multiple purchases of an army builder 😎✨
Totally!!! The 212th is long over due for a TVC release! Waxer looks great as well. I am still not 100% sold on the soft plastic helmet, I’d much prefer if it were hard plastic sculpted.
The army builder 4 packs are offered exclusively online at Hasbro Pulse. The rest of my figures are usually pre ordered with entertainment earth, big bad toy store, or amazon. ✨✨✌️😎✌️✨✨
They should be way easier to get. They have so many more they could do like for me a swamp trooper or an imperial army 4 pack like the garrison on aldani would be amazing
Still can’t believe they released a death trooper 4 pack and only 2 of the troopers get rifles… the other 2 just have to hold pistols like a couple of dopes. They really dropped the ball
Yeah that was BEYOND disappointing. No tactical vests either, which made this set lesser value than the standard Rogue One release that was still available here and there. ✨✌️😎✌️✨
This is a good idea albeit a long overdue one. This could have been something they should have had in stores years ago and even when there have been some packs released there usually was some other figure you couldn't army build and with everything being older sculpts they aren't going to be where things are now so maybe it was best they waited. Having it be an online thing I imagine can be an issue due to it's unreliability sometimes but I guess most people are ordering rather than buying things in person. There's a lot of packs they could stand to still release and they probably will. White Hoth Rebel Troopers, Snow Troopers, Endor Rebel Troopers, Mandalorians (Perhaps the Covert?), Imperial Officers and Pirates (Perhaps members of Gorian Shard's crew) would certainly be no brainers. I also think an all new Battle Droid sculpt would be ideal for this. They could start with a Jedi Survivor deco and then just re-release the new sculpt. Maybe make a new Super Battle Droid and perhaps the Tactical Droid and BX-Commando Droids as they have yet to receive a TVC figure especially since the latter also would function for Jedi Survivor displays. There will also likely be more Clone repaints to go along with the 212th which should have come with an updated Airborne Trooper. It's cool a Clone Wars character like Waxer is coming out but not something you can army build easily without customising it first. They could maybe do the Kashyyyk Troopers again. I also wouldn't be surprised if an all 50st and all Shock Trooper set comes out to coincide with Mandalorian Season 3. Not sure who you could put as a pack in for those though. They'd probably just put Rex again in the 501st one but it'd be cool to get a named character like Dogma or Appo but like with the Waxer it's again hard to army build. Maybe put a Commander Thire or Fox in the Shock Trooper pack. A real good one but probably unlikely would be Bacara and an all new Galactic Marine. There's a lot of endless possibilities with these packs and hopefully they'll continue to put out really good ones. The one thing to work on I guess is add the accessories but also find a way to put in a Commander character so to speak that you could army build more of and not just need one but I imagine that's difficult especially when sometimes a specific character is needed for the set but hopefully they find a solution to these issues and I think videos like these are helpful in letting them know. Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten some stuff. Looking forward to the next video.
Totally! Lots of fantastic/endless possibilities for these packs. I agree it’s something that we would have liked to see sooner, but on the flip side some of our troopers have finally reached a definitive status. I do like seeing commanders added to these sets, but it’s also frustrating if you buy say 5 of these sets, but don’t really want 5 Commander Thire. Having a figure that has a removable accessory and can be turned into a “grunt” is best. I can’t wait for a new perfect battle droid! That’s going to be a wonderful army builder, and much needed. ✌️😃😃😃✌️
@@ToysAreTheWay Yeah definitely. And hopefully they will release an all new Battle Droid sooner rather than later. Between Jedi Survivor, Mandalorian Season 3 and Bad Batch it's high time the Separatists got their upgrade in the same way the Clones have gotten theirs.
The moment Hasbro Pulse restocks those stormtroopers is the moment my bank account takes a big hit. I'd at least buy 4 packs of them if they were ever to rerelease or release an updated version.
I wan hasbro to make more army builder packs and those are: The Endor rebel trooper pack, scarif rebel commando pack, all white outfit Hoth rebel trooper pack, and the desert gear rebel trooper pack. Hasbro, if you are seeing this comment, not only I want you to make these rebel trooper army builder packs made asap, but include four A-280 rifles in each of those I want made.
Yes!! We need both the Rebel Endor trooper and Scarif commandos for sure! Hopefully Hasbro can upgrade the leg articulation on the Endor trooper if they release it in a 4-pack, we really need to finally see a Rebel Troop with ball jointed hips and rocker ankles! ✨✨🙌😎🙌✨✨
Definitely!! I’m liking the new mold, the articulation is so much better, but I would prefer to see a sculpted helmet instead of the soft plastic removable one 👌😃✨
I think everyone agrees by far that the deathtrooper is the weakest release. Its the only 4 pack that I never picked up...oh and also the hoth soldier because I had picked up a few of the regular release from Dorkside when they were blowing them out for $4 or something. I was looking forward to getting two of the tusken packs, but the price has kept me from pre-ordering even one.
Yeah man, it was such a let down. Hasbro really wasn’t thinking that one through. Same with the Hoth trooper over saturation. It’s a decent 4 pack but there was already a bunch of the mainline release out there. I only recently picked up the death troopers during the warehouse sale 🤘😎✨
The death trooper one was such a dropping of the ball the inclusion of only one pauldron and only two rifle just makes it embarrassing Honestly if i wanted to army build death troopers id just buy a bunch of the single carded ones They are not incredibly hard to come by and have the rifle And the hoth rebel trooper definitely should have inlucuded backpackd
Oh man I totally agree, and it was one of the biggest let downs in terms of these packs. Which is unfortunate given that this figure is actually pretty decent, and as you mentioned not hard to come by either. Definitely a big missed opportunity not including the DLT specialist rifle. ✨✌️😎✌️✨
Hopefully now that Krrsantan has been released we have a large Wookie sculpt it’s much more likely! I’m definitely in favor of Wookie Warriors in TVC 🙌😎🙌
