Let's Talk About this Black Series Trooper Builder Pack for around 16 Minutes

[@praetor3867]

Hey Mike love the content! Just wanted to let you know that this pack is also available on Amazon for preorder.

[@MikeKaess]

Yeah so turns out this is Fan Channel + Amazon! I dunno how I missed that. Meaning there are tons of places you can buy it, but weirdly, Shop Disney is the only place it’s $39.99 that I saw.

[@jamesstolk9848]

As always a most entertaining video. They passed on this guy.I have a few of the clones. And I have enough battle droids that refuse to stand or stay standing longer than a week or two. But there is a part of me that wants to encourage these 2 packs. Because I love them so I want to support them. My opinion to the poll is make the video That you want to make otherwise it's just work and that's gonna be no fun for you.. I suggest doing the one you're most excited about. Keep up the great work..

[@MikeKaess]

I’ve always liked you ❤️

[@Ghost-yc6bv]

ive noticed the newer phase 2 helmets look 100% better than the ones from a couple months ago

[@MikeKaess]

Agreed!

[@ctbarley3423]

Yeah I'm not sure why but I think the thicker black line above the visor just looks so much nicer

[@RinaJosscy]

Great content as always.

[@MikeKaess]

Thanks very much!

[@justinlachappelle4697]

Hi mike...i stop collecting for a little , but i just started up again cause i found a holocron figuer fir 18$..what ur thoughts on those figures and hiw many do you have..thanks again for ur videos...

[@MikeKaess]

The holocomm figures aren’t something I need in my collection. I have one, I got the Han Solo. I got it for free from a friend. I also have Darth Vader on preorder because I love Vader. But I don’t really feel the need to add any others to my collection.

[@kingnothing5678]

I'll get this on sale eventually, but I'm holding out for the new Commander Gree.

[@MikeKaess]

Finger crossed!

[@AFAFsamedwards]

Great review sir. I might pick these up down the road from the Disney store. Thats a way better deal. I do have the single release versions of both of these guys so I’m not hurting for them but I do love phase 2 clones the best. So that would entice me to get these. All good though. Have a good day sir.

[@MikeKaess]

I like the look of Phase 2 over Phase 1 as well. For sure.

[@jeditwins]

Great vid!! ❤❤❤ Got 2 of these. I was thinking that the boxing was different and plastic free because this has been in the works for awhile when Hasbro switched to plastic free. What do you think? Any validity to that? Cause I think that single box of the phase Ii was in plastic free?? Oh gosh it’s terrible when you can’t remember. 😂

[@MikeKaess]

I think they used the idea of the box from their PFP boxes, but this is a wholly unique type of box for the line. And it’s very reminiscent of the TVC army builder boxes. It’s almost identical, in fact. The original P2 Clone Trooper was also in PFP packaging, but the battle droid wasnt. I don’t think that would have affected whether this would be or not. I think this just a cost cutting measure for this style of figure release. I would assume the upcoming Rebel Fleet Trooper and Stormtrooper release will be in a similar style box.

[@jeditwins]

@@MikeKaess TY for explaining! And it is a tiny box! When they arrived, I thought to myself, did we order TVC by mistake? But, I agree.........cool box! 😁

[@CT7567Rex]

I got this set for the clean Battle Droid. How I see it, the clean one is the one who is stationed on a ship, base, guard duty, exc, and not on the frontlines to get that dirty.

[@MikeKaess]

Exactly!

[@332nd_collectibles]

Loving the videos Mike! I’m debating on this set still, I’m wondering if it’ll show up in Disneystores or in the parks !

[@MikeKaess]

Yeah I dunno! But also I was a little wrong, these are also available at pretty much any Fan Channel store. But Disney is weirdly still the cheapest way to get them. And if they do show up at the parks and you have a magic key pass, you’d get an even bigger discount!

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Now that's a 2 pack that makes sense. Yes the droid could benefit from a shade wash or some battle damage (not essential); but that could be added pretty easily, along with some metallic dry brushing on the blaster. A phase 1 helmet would've been a welcome bonus. I like phase 1 just as much as phase 2. If you haven't made a vid on the Jada Toys Street Fighter figs then I'd be happy to see that. Maybe an overview if you have a few. Or as another viewer said; do what you like. Your vids are always entertaining.👍

[@MikeKaess]

I don’t have any Jada toys SF figures. Tbh I’m a little scared to buy them. They look great and I don’t want to go down another rabbit hole.

[@Cornholio174]

Just waiting on Disney to ship the 4 of these I ordered. Need 3 more if just the droids for customs at some point

[@MikeKaess]

awesome!

[@legion078]

I think this is a text book example of how these army-builder packs should be. Two blank figures like this Clone and B1 Battle Droid just scream army-building and customizing to me. If I had a couple of those I'd repaint the Battle Droid and make it a Security & Pilot Droid. Let's keep out fingers crossed there'll be dozens more of this format by Hasbro!

[@MikeKaess]

Agreed!

[@theRickestRick333]

"I kinda miss the paper wrap." said that one collector one time.

[@MikeKaess]

Hey. There are dozens of us.

[@TildenCats]

I love how I am the only person ive seen do this, i use the stand that came with the target exclusive luke in stormtrooper disguise for my B1s I bought a bunch of the stands on ebay. People thought they were useless for luke so got rid of them. Everything has its purpose.

[@MikeKaess]

I did this for a long time, but they ended up taking up too much room on my shelves. And I eventually got more droids than I had stands for.

[@MarcelaKPreininger]

The plain white phase 2 clones look like the Imperial troopers from the Bad Batch

[@MikeKaess]

Yeah kinda. Helmet is a little different though.

[@meman176]

being that the white clone was the first on the 3.0 body and i bought it without knowing tht very early on in its release life the white clone is my top 3 figures in the black series maybe #1 after i got him i was so hyped i started buying all the older clones and new ones too lol... and 2 more white clones XD the MOLD IS MY FAVORITE TOY MOLD

[@MikeKaess]

They’re soooooo good!

[@kenobijabroni5877]

“Do the Urkel”

[@MikeKaess]

I never stopped doing the Urkel.

[@clearymc]

You’re my favorite Cantina host. I hate Zack’s take on David Prowse Darth Vader. Anyways, great video as always.

[@MikeKaess]

I’ve had a lot of great comments on my days making videos. This is top 5, easily.

[@唯一人-t4k]

Thanks for review. I wish they would sell it separately.

[@MikeKaess]

They did! They sold the clone trooper by itself and the battle droid by itself!

[@唯一人-t4k]

@@MikeKaess Exactly, but I want them to only sell this plain battle droid!

[@idiot_city5444]

The lack of space between the eye lenses and the black line on the forehead of the clone helmet is awful... throws off the whole head sculpt for me

[@MikeKaess]

That’s a bummer!
