In my opinion there was a huge missed opportunity to add Rex to 501st and General Veers to blizzard force. Even give the invasion force a tactical droid to balance the boxes out.
Agreed. Although getting multiple Grevious isn't too bad
He's on the cover... that upsets me
I for one 100% agree with you!!
Or Dooku
Absolute facts.
For the empire, they shoulda made a scarif themed one with 3 death trooper units, 2 shore troopers, krenic and an atst
it makes sense they are all like sets bouncing off each other, hoth defenders, imperial snow troopers
I would’ve bought that! Kinda bummed that some of the models seem to be the old soft plastic
Quick, right that down! (i'd buy that for $150!)
I could see a set with Krennic, Operative Vader, 2x Stormtroopers, 2x Shoretroopers, 1x Death Trooper, and an AT ST
While I'm not personally interested in any of these battle forces now, I wish they had been around as a intro point when I got into the game, $150 for a full army would have been great.
The Echo base box is far and beyond the best box hands down, so much value. 2nd has to be the Droid box, you don't need to split a core anymore just buy a BF and get the essentials
I was coming to say the same thing. I had been a cheapskate and have both factions and I feel like it has finally worked in my favor.
Only issue is if you want Obi Wan. Only available in the core box
Thank you for this. It wasn't explicitly stated so was a bit confused so now I know what to buy. :)
@@bnm1211 or second hand miniatures. Some people bought two cores fornthe essential in the past and now have two Kenobis.
As a very new player, ur videos are so helpful and informative, absolutley love your work so please keep up the awesome work!
It would be a cool video idea if you built a list for each faction using only what you get in 1 core set and one of these boxes
I'm just getting started in SWL. Your video was quite informative. Thanks
As someone just about to start with Legion, your content has been super useful! Thanks!
Keep up the good work brother. Your vids are encouraging me to paint up those legion sets I’m sitting on.
This was a solid overview. As a new player to Legion looking to buy in, this was helpful in my decision making process, thank you!!
I have been thinking of getting back into SW:Legion and I’m glad I found this channel.
Just starting out with Legion and this video’s been really handy for understanding these boxes.
Appreciate the review and insights! Thanks!
Love your videos! So helpful for new players.
Such helpful commentary as always...I am a Legion Veteran ... in the game since its inception, so this video helped to make my decision on what to buy...Thanks again!
Thanks for the info man. You videos really help me with star wars legion.
These are fantastic! Complete new player. Thank you for these reviews!
Personally I feel that the separatist box was the best overall deal leaning towards new players because the purchase of two borders on the lines of competitive play and builds probably the Best of the separatist teams. The other three do not see the same Light But the rebel and clone army look to fit great with the original starter box. Empire was a major letdown in my opinion.
I completely agree
I agree as well. And the empire set is a big let down. As an empire player. I got the at st first with my starter set. It for my army list is the big punch and takes down most of the enemy forces while my stormies capture objectives.
I appreciate these as ways of building alternate armies from the one I primarily play!
Just found your channel and this video, thanks for making this! I've been following this game for a while, I just haven't had the time (or money!) to commit to it. Maybe one day!
Just found your channel, really helping me make the decision on what to get
really like, that you always point out the postive things, not only the negative :)
Thanks for these videos!
Whoever built the 501st box knew what they were doing, was trying to build a competitive list and it’s almost identical to the one I was wishing I could make
As someone always on the edge and f diving into legion your channel is the best.
I’ve bought a few different unit boxes over the years as display pieces but looking to get into the game and with your breakdown on each of these boxes gives me a better idea on what to go for 👍🏻
Thanks for making this video, I have been thinking of getting the Battle Forces but didn't know which ones to invest in first.
Great report i need this! Many hugs my friend from Colombia.
These are great value. Hopefully they'll do some more boxes like this in the future with different combinations
Thanks for the tips!
These battleforces are exciting! Thanks for the overview!
I love these battlepacks can't wait to pick a few of these up they'll definitely help getting more armies for the rest of the factions I don't currently own.
Thank you for the breakdown.
Great information. Thank you
Nice breakdown of the values. I’m interested.
Been drooling over these, rewatched so many times. Although part of me can’t help but think it’s really an AMG stock clearance of non moving old stock.
Thanks for this content very informative
Thanks for the insight!
Thanks for the breakdown. I plan to get the echo base set.
Love your reviews
Finally getting to play my first Legion game today, this has only fuelled what I need for the next one
Nice video, helped me a lot
Great video as always
Definitely looking forward to the imps and rebel. I have yet to start them and arguably going with the best theme for each.
As someone just getting into Legion, I am super stoked for this.
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for the breakdown
i love your content. so excited to see every video
Thanks for the vid!
Very excited that these battle force boxes are on the way.
thanks for the vid! thinking of dipping my toes in this and can't decide which way to go lol
These boxes are a great addition to the legion products and I will definitely be picking one or two up.
Thanks for the info! Definitely will reconsider my purchase of the Imperial starter box - perhaps go with the Rebel or Separatists instead.
Was getting ready to start a Hoth themed rebel army this summer. Thanks for making it so much easier to get started. Echo Base Defenders and 2 T-47's and ill be set. Maybe a rebel specialists box also.
I want to start playing star wars legion and your videos help me now what i should buy.
Despite having full armies for each faction, I don’t have any of the units in the rebel pack so I might pick that one up. Agreed that they are great value. Very happy to get to the end of the video and see that this one is so awesome!
Thanks for the break down.
I’m super excited for the the Echo Base box. I just started playing and grabbed a ton of GAR stuff and didn’t wanna invest that much into a whole other army.
Had to subscribe!, great video
Thanks for making video, I’m brand new and got a lot of great info. I’m going shadow collective for sure. Need those mauldalorians
I will say as I have a new friend getting into the game that is only interested in the Republic we were both glad to see these battleforce boxes
Looking forward to getting my hands on the CIS box as soon as i can save up for it, fill out my B1 roster (8 units!), plus the maganas and droidekas are awesome, and it'll let me live my double AAT dreams!
I love all those boxes and they come out around my birthday and in time for christmas
I've just gotten into this. I like the clone so far!
While some of the choices are thematically puzzling, I think it’s undeniable what a clue these boxes are. Separatist players looking to get more B1s can add the rest of the units in the box not much more than the cost of the base B1s, and you can make a similar cost comparison to the other 3 boxes as well. I feel there’s only a very small segment of the Legion community that truly can’t get anything out of them, and that makes these really a superb addition to the range.
Honestly, as a Rebel player, out of the Echo Base Defenders, I only have one Vet (plus Turrent) squad and Leia. So snatching up the Echo Base Defenders will be perfect for me! Chewie, R2, C3PO, 4 Rebel Vets, 2 Tauntauns (which are still amazing!), and the pizza turrent, which I always wanted to grab. And basically all of that comes around at half price. So Echo Base Defenders is a dream come true :)
The Echo Base set is amazing, and I already have just about everything in that set, just missing one Rebel Veterans unit. Oh well. Happy savings everyone!
My favourite bit about the box arts for Rebs and Imps is Han on Tauntaun and Snowtrooper Speederbikes.
I'm definitely buying (already pre-ordered) both of those and I'm even going all out to not only expand each force but to build a Skirmish table based on the Imperial assault on Echo base. Just need to decide on how to go about it and whether I want it on a separate board or the reverse of my Endor skirmish board. Either way I plan to convert what doesn't fully fit the sets theme (short sleeve Leia, Scout bikers) to make it fit more into the setting, really push my hobby skills to their limits.
The sets are definitely more geared towards new players or players looking to pick up a new faction. Definitely picking up the separatist set since I've only got a starter set an a separatist specialist box, just a pity it's a few months away
Pretty exciting stuff!
As a long time player with lots of minis, there isnt much I need out of these sets, but they have awesome value. I hope it gets some more people into the game. I may pick up some clones since I dont have too much of what is in there.
(Also Crabbok your vid’s are great, helpful and entertaining 😁)
Great video!
Looking at getting into legions or xwing and just found the channel. Great content! My only problem now is figuring out which game to invest in!
I’m definitely gonna eventually get the echo base defenders to round out my rebel army. I love the thought of 8 Corp units in an army
Really really looking forward to these. It's the force building rules that intrigue me the most. Less corp, more special forces!
You don't want to do a Naboo Plains force with Tank, 2 Droidekas, and 8 B1s? xD
Honestly loving the entry options of the new boxes. This will probably end up being where I buy in.
having seen your review on these packs i am sure that i will go for the 501st legion pack. this will be a great new army to my Galactic Empire one 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video. Think about getting into starwars legion
Can’t wait for them to come out!!!
The Echo Base box looks great. Might have to snag that to add to my stuff from the core set.
Hi great video im still undecided on where to get started , x-wing or the more recent shatter point. Are the starwars figures pre-painted ,ty
I'm so lost on what all of this is but I am a star wars fan and came across this. Guess you learn about something new every day.
As someone looking to get into Legion for the first time these look great. Looking to join the Republic!
Not sure if that giveaway is still going, but I'm just getting started in Legion. Thanks for making these videos.
Super impressed with the Rebel box. I've just gotten into the game with Empire so that'll be a great way to start Rebels as a second faction.
Looking forward to the buyers guide. Hopefully with people in mind who do not plan to buy the core set and jump in with one of these boxes directly.
These look great. Might pull me back and away fro MCP.
Nice to see a honest assessment. Really like the look of the rebel forces, although I know the chance of getting a Hoth Luke are like 0%
I’m absolutely going for the 501st force
Like that there are more ways to get started a bit more efficiently
Im a tad confused by the billard force box why are there speeders and not e-webs, with 2 speeders and an atst it feels like its 1 half hoth one half endor.
I was thinking the same thing!!
I think the decision was influenced by what fans were most likely to want to use. E-webs as an emplacement have always been tricky to play, though I do agree thematically it seems pretty weird.
@@lordbiscuitthetossable5352 its even got e-webs on the box
Speeders were on Hoth but not onscreen.

E-Webs would fit in nicely in this pack then they could have done a separate Endore pack with the Speeders.
Dang, I kinda wish these were out when I started playing a year ago! It would have been nice to get all my arcs and p2s in one box!
love these new box sets
i am looking forward to the 501st box and bulking up my arc troopers
I have clone wars core set and 1 AAT sooo is it viable to get the separatist box. I mean 6 b1s are good but 2 AAT is it too much? Are there any good lists with 2 AATs
Just got into the game with the clone war set and expansions. May look into getting to get onto the rebel and empire factions
As a new player that start with Clone wars core set and wanting to do an hoth imperial force the battleforce is exactly what i want. But for player that are here for a long time not sure it is a great deal.
nice discussion!
I’m getting the droids and rebels sets great value for me as I only have a gar army and some droids still in there racks from the core set
Hey I’m only recently getting into Star Wars legion and I just finished watching your first buy video, and after seeing this I’m not too sure if I should buy the starter set and then some of the singular packs or to buy this set along the starter set. I’m not to sure what i would like to run just get
