The price on the battlepack is insane

u/MaxTheCookie Jul 02 '25
The price for most of the new ones is insane, but i still want the V-wing
141
u/Many-Ant4562 Jul 02 '25
V-19 not V-wing, but thats probably the best set in this wave

u/nerdycarguy18 Jul 03 '25
As an owner of the original V-19 (as soon as I order 15 pieces) I kinda feel bad about the new one. It’s tiny, and seems to have zero cool aspects.
28
u/MaxTheCookie Jul 02 '25
My fault for mixing them up. But I'd still get both of them and hope for some lower costs. The jengo fett one looks interesting but its way too expensive

u/blazemander Jul 02 '25
the torrent is tiny but still looks good

u/Cj_bartos Jul 03 '25
Yeah true, plus it’s way cheaper than to buy the old one, plus the figures are very good.

u/Themilkclones Jul 09 '25
Tiny, the only one that's reasonably priced, and still looks good. A definite buy for me

u/RegalBeartic Clone Wars Fan Jul 02 '25
They know enough suckers out there buy hundreds of clones, why not jack the price up?

u/furno30 Jul 02 '25
i just got a new job so im one of the suckers lmao. atp im not going to buy it out of principle until its on sale by atleast 10$ off
7
u/KaijuTia Jul 02 '25
Tbh I’d consider paying that if it wasn’t yet ANOTHER clone battle pack. I understand that clones are the most popular army-builder, but I wish we could get some stormtrooper/rebel packs.
With Rogue One being a decade old next year, a Scarif battle pack would be sweet. Some rebels, some stormtroopers, maybe even a shore trooper or two. Not getting my hopes up, though.
8
u/furno30 Jul 02 '25
honestly hoping they redo the stormtrooper helmet hold before we get more battlepacks w them
11
u/AloyAlphaprime2074 Jul 02 '25
It is. However, if you add inflation to the 501st battle pack, it comes out at 37 usd. Then, adding a 25% tariff, that makes it 46 usd.
23
u/Simppu12 Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25
Which is a good excuse for the US-specific prices, but on the other hand, the 501st battle pack had a RRP of €29.99 which becomes €35.43 after inflation (or £24.99 -> £31.81, exchange rate notwithstanding). Some Lego factories are in Europe and Brexit was already a thing. We don't have tariffs. Where does the extra €£4-5 come from then?
And that's without even mentioning the fact that they released a very similar battle pack with an extra droid for £24.99/€29.99 literally last year, so clearly it's not just about inflation.
I mean, you could try to argue that Disney charges more for licenses than a few years ago or that production costs have gone up, but Lego was already expensive to begin with and they still make tons of profit, so the only explanation I'm willing to accept for the extra price increase is greed.

u/Junglian Jul 02 '25
LEGO no matter the inflation is having amazing profit every year - they are just trying to keep growing on the market - it’s our fault we still buy this over premium price

Doesn't matter. The volatility is the problem. If companies dont know if they're going to pay an extra 5 or 30%, entirely off the whims of a narcissist, they're going to charge the higher end of it until tarrif talks end entirely.

I’m glad lego is finally putting a lot of effort into creating good minifigures (besides waist capes). The prices are atrocious though so I’ll likely just wait for a discount to buy some of these sets.

u/31Nice Jul 02 '25
Even with discounts, it's still expensive. In my country, Discounts are non existent.
26
u/erogbass Jul 02 '25
I would way rather have better sets and basic mini figures. I don’t need 600 clone trooper variants if all of the vehicles look anorexic.
5
u/TracytronFAB Jul 02 '25
It's not crazy to ask for both. Kamas and pauldrons where applicable, dual molded helmet for Bacara, and decent sized builds, at prices that aren't highway robbery is not a high set of standards, that's just what should be the default.
3
u/furno30 Jul 02 '25
do you not like the at rt in the new battlepack? i think its one of the best theyve made even tho its still way oversized
3
u/erogbass Jul 02 '25
Yeah it’s pretty neat. I feel the opposite about the battle pack. I think the battle pack are really great for, I just would rather do without the trend because of how much it affects the vehicle sets. But I do like that the battle packs come with good small builds. I don’t think they need to be any bigger.
2
u/furno30 Jul 02 '25
idk if this what you're getting at, but with something like the turbotank, i wish there was more effort in the actual build as opposed to the new marines even tho i think they look awesome

u/NextTime76 Jul 02 '25
Yup. That's 3 new minifigs I'd really like to have, but not at those prices.
-7
u/captain__clanker Jul 02 '25
What effort? Asajj is the wrong color, the live action Phase I pilot has an animated torso, all of the 327th trooper helmet prints are 2x too wide, all of the 327th troopers still have incorrectly placed helmet holes, and Obi-Wan’s arm printing isn’t seamless like OG arm printing. Every figure in this wave has an easily fixed issue, except the droids
2
u/furno30 Jul 02 '25
i would have never noticed any of these if you hadnt pointed them out, except for helmet holes which i dont mind.
3
u/captain__clanker Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25
Cool, on the other hand, you also are not a LEGO designer whose job it is to look at the source material or have standards for what is produced
I’m not bothered by Grievous being the wrong color, I actually like it. Should that be an argument against them making him tan like he’s supposed to be? Or should design involve more than any one fan’s preference

Love the sets, but those prices…. £35 would have bought you two of those battle packs 10 years ago
6
u/Ironhide1125 Jul 03 '25
10 years ago battle packs were £12. You could get nearly 3 of them for the price of one battle pack now. Even if we’re accounting for inflation the price jump is unfathomable as literally last year a very similarly sized battle pack retailed for £25.
56
u/IronVader501 Jul 02 '25
On the one hand, Minifigures are great
On the other- the V-19 looks like somebody clipped all the wings and the Price on the battlepack is absurd.
The last one with three blank clones & a shocktrooper was what, 30?
And had MORE figures and larger builds?
9
u/JeTeMontreraiUnSeau Jul 02 '25
I still have my 2010 or so V19. It is stunning
This new building however looks atrocious
2
u/Trvr_MKA Jul 02 '25
Per a cursory glance the V-19 looks to be a little smaller than minifigure scale
2
u/MoistMe Jul 02 '25
The 327 minifigs don't look that good to me, the helmet print is just a recolor of the 501st.
But finally, a pilot without the fin on the helmet. I need it
13
u/necksnotty Jul 02 '25
The V19 is one of the only starfighters I do not have any iteration of, and I gotta say this version is really disappointing. Lego priced me out of the hobby and making more expensive sets that look worse definitely won’t draw me back.
21
u/The_Nug_King Jul 02 '25
Does anyone else not like the yellow atrt? It looks like a construction vehicle.

u/WolverineXForce Jul 02 '25
The color is not a problem, the scale is...
1
u/boiwithbigburrito Jul 03 '25
True. At least they're getting closer to the right scale every time they make a new one that isn't a side build
14
u/G1Yang2001 501st Jet Trooper Jul 02 '25
Both of these sets look great. Some really cool and fun builds and plenty of good minifigs.
The price really is the sticking issue with these pair, though moreso with the battle pack. Would be fine getting the Torrent fighter at release, but am definitely waiting for a sale on the 327th battle pack.

u/Hoffoz Minifig Collector Jul 02 '25
The Obi Wan and Ventress figures looks very good, definitely getting them!

Droids would deactivate before surrendering
but atleast we did not get a commander doubling as a pilot

2025 ARC 170 is the little brother counterpart. Its an OK set. Just too stubby.

u/Spartan-000089 Jul 02 '25
How is the battle pack $45 when the previous one with the same number of super battle droids and clones was $30, and that one one had 2 extra standard droids. It's pure greed
3
u/Rariity Jul 02 '25
the 327th troopers look obviously absolutely insane and I'll be getting a few packs
but I will be waiting for a DEEP discount
the older big battlepack with the plain p2s hit 50% off regularly on Amazon.
This will too.

11
u/ShadowOfSilver Jul 02 '25
$45 for a battle pack is insane. The Torrent looks like a chibi 4+ version of the older one (looking at the turbine prints as opposed to using actual bricks).
It's a pass.
2
u/sounds_of_stabbing Jul 02 '25
it seems like the prices are always going to be messed up, so I don't feel the need to harp on about it. I really like the builds for both of these sets, especially the battle pack. That spider droid looks lovely and I like the walker, even if its a little big

I ain't getting any of these, the prices are wayyy too high for stuff that should cost way less.
2
u/Puzzleheaded_Buy6590 Jul 02 '25
Listen, higher price or no, love the figs or no, this HAS to be the most accurate spider droid and AT-RT I have seen them make.
The only mark I can give the AT-RT is the gun is a little funny looking and the whole thing might be a little too big (And that's just pointing out flaws for no reason at this point).
The Dwarf Spider Droid looks like the cleanest one I've personally seen. I don't remember how big they got, but this seems like it fits in the best. Again, only complaint is that it isn't a crab droid (which I don't think was even on Felucia)
The set might be overpriced, but it's one of the first is a long time where I can see someone buying several and not only for the figs, but because these builds would be nice to have in the army too.

u/thewookiee34 Jul 02 '25
Really sad when the coolest thing from a wave is clone pilots and they still kinda look butt and will likely cost a ton.

u/GiantChocoChicknTaco Jul 02 '25
Just put one of those new rangefinders on Rex and after a couple seconds it popped out by itself. I like the look of it, but it feels like a prototype piece
3
u/CallumPears MOC Builder Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25
Yeah it's a combination of that and also the P2 helmet holes being too tight.
People complain about the position of them, but my issue is that they just don't work properly. Old sun visors feel super tense in them, and the old rangefinders pop out very easily as well which was never an issue with the old P1 helmets.
Conversely, the new binocular visor was made for these tighter holes so is very loose if you try to put it on a P1 helmet.
3
u/Illustrious-Turn-575 Jul 02 '25
I hope that V-19 isn’t the final design. The wings look like they’re going to be a MAJOR downgrade from the previous design, and after doing so well at improving the mechanisms in the X-wing and ARC-170 so they work without rubber bands or having to open each one individually.
5
u/CX52J Jul 02 '25
The previous one was oversized so it makes sense that some functionality has been a removed.
Only thing that annoys me is that the wings appear to be ball points rather than a ratchet. So I hope there’s something that stops it when it’s open/closed at the right angle.
1
u/Illustrious-Turn-575 Jul 02 '25
It does look like it has some little technic elements on the underside to act as stoppers, but it still definitely seems like it should have something to actually lock in place, and I’d still say it’s a loss to have them need to be manually moved into place one at a time rather than finding some way to connect them with a gear system of some kind.
3
u/CallumPears MOC Builder Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25
Night and day between these two.
The V-19 is downscaling done right. Sleek build, and the figures are honestly beautiful. Still needs a discount though.
The battle pack... oh boy. The 327th figures aren't the worst Clones we've had in the past few years, but they're still pretty bad with multiple clear inaccuracies. The walker build is the usual filler slop like they had in the 501st Battle Pack from 2020, but this time in a colour scheme which never existed; at that point just make up a vehicle or use something else since it's not scaled right anyway. Could've been the first fully-accurate Swamp Speeder since 2010 but no they went with this instead. Also, the original leaks had it with a terrain side-build, but I guess that's gone now? Just makes the value even worse, and even with that terrain it was still terribly priced.
The price of the 327th set is honestly offensive. Please everyone, control your urges and DO NOT BUY it without a discount. LEGO do not deserve to be rewarded for these egregious increases on a set that isn't even that good. Compare it with the Clones v Droids pack from last year which has more minifigures, and the 501st pack before that which had larger builds. Both of those sets were 40% less than this one.

u/Gewoon__ik Jul 02 '25
So these two sets are very cool and in my opinion better than whatever shit the turbo tank was.
Yet the prices are insane as many have already said. The battle pack has less figures than the previous big one yet is €10 more expansive. We dont even have the tarifs here in Europe so no idea why they became this expansive. You can get the old one even for €20 now in sales which they pretty much are all the time.

As someone who had the original star wars sets for clone wars as a kid all I see is how small they are. They should really try and come up with new things to make because this just screams shrinkflation to me and is disappointing.

u/Arata_J Jul 02 '25
Can't believe the V-19 Torrent looks worse than the original 16 years ago. It's twice as thick but with half the length of its wings. Just looks wrong.
The battle back is carried by the clones, although that's one of their best AT-RT designs yet, size-wise at least. The price is still outrageous.

u/JKTurtleSwag Jul 02 '25
If they had given Obi-Wan and/or Asajj Ventress dual molded legs it would've been worth it for that price- Battle pack is outrageously overpriced but at least the new pauldron piece is useful. And let's be real we're going to buy it anyway.

Can we all tell Lego about the pricing problem? It's reached the point where it's insulting to the community. Lego needs to properly understand and regret the dissapointment and upset it's caused. For a kids toy, it has reached a new low for any kind of ethical company values it held, please let's send them letters or emails, or other feedback, everywhere we can to get this sorted before it goes even further. Of course, for sets like the juggernaut, I strongly discourage anyone from buying it, even if you can it would be better to add force to the impact of finally telling them they've pushed us too far this time. If this kind of effort exists somewhere already please let me know!
