I think I like the 2024 set better because it feels like a spiritual successor to the first two battle packs put together. Adjusted for inflation, the two $10 battle packs would be about $15 today so $30 for the 2024 set with both factions feels justified for once.

I think the battlepacks today are a good concept with the clones vs. droids as you get to army build both in one set, but it would be cool to get more sets for the CIS with other droids. Bring some variety for the droids like there is for clones. Commando droids, tactical droids, vulture droids, etc.

Also the different variants of the B1 such as rocket, security and commander droids would be nice

After losing passion for lego (after a rough breakup this year), the reveal of the new super battle pack actually made me so excited that I pretty much instantly got pulled right back into lego star wars. I think (for money reasons) I'm still going to try set up a brickllink store and sell off most of my non-star wars lego and limit what I purchase from now on, but this set really re-sparked my love for lego star wars and I've since bought myself the advent calendar and am now awaiting a 2013 AT-TE from ebay. So excited to continue building the clone/ droid armies I've always wanted since being a kid!

[@M4teo.]

Glad to know you're back! I hope 2024, and all years to come Will be as exciting as they seem!

[@phoenixproductions2846]

I know clones are far more popular but while I respect the argument about the new helmets I find it funny how clones were not nearly done as dirty as the horrific 2019 stormtrooper helmet and yet the clone helmet change is more controversial

[@PumpkinNite]

I love these both, A dream Battle Pack of mine is a 15 dollar AT-RT with a 501st clone with a swappable 332nd helmet, a 212th clone, a Coruscant Guard, and a regular white clone.

[@samjones7834]

Personally, I prefer the 2024 battle pack much more than the 501st one. The 501st one IS great and it helped me a lot to get a decently sized 501st Clone army, but at the same time it was also a bit pathetic how it’s 2 droids vs 4 clones, a speeder and a walker. That, and while I think size wise the BARC speeder is pretty good compared with the minifigs (it’s still a smidge too big but not too big tbh), the AT-RT is way too big for minifig scale. Meanwhile the 2024 battle pack has builds for both sides, with the droids having the most substantial build in the set with the Octuptarra Droid (the first set to give a substantial build to the Battle Droids since the 2020 AAT set), the builds themselves were much closer in scale with the minifigs and the minifigs themselves are amazing - the first plain white Phase 2 Clones to appear in set in over a decade and you get three of them, a cheaper way to get the new Shocktrooper, a couple of battle droids and three new Super Battle Droids, the first ones since 2015. That, and since it’s 4 clones vs 5 droids and each side has two builds each, it also just makes it seem like more of a fair fight than 501st battle pack. But that’s just my personal opinion.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

I completely agree with everything you said except for the 501st BARC speeder being only slightly too big. The BARC speeder in the 501st battle pack is massively oversized, to the point where it's literally almost scaled to a 3.75-inch action figure, which is NOT good for a vehicle for minifigs.

[@escada5218]

4:12 Him saying "the legs are also plenty posable" whyle doing that cracked me up for some reason

[@kagerobraveninja]

The one thing I didn't like about the 50 first battle pack is it seems like there wasn't enough battle droids so you couldn't have a battle as a kid or build a armory.

[@fritz404]

I don't like the clones in the new one but it's a much better battle pack and value proposition

[@Hyper_1989]

Its honestly funny that the new versions of the 2007 builds probably have like double the pieces used.

[@kieranperreaultdit-morin9262]

Would love super battle packs during the year, and then regular ones that are of a different era So this year a rebels and imperial battle pack would go nicely against the clone wars super battle pack

[@Lukedub]

very good video. I've always thought MandR did really good comparision videos, which is why i watch him in the first place. Personally i'd like to see a super battle pack with rebels and stormtroopers. maybe include some references to the 2008 battle packs. We haven't seen a rebel battle pack for too long so it would be really cool to get some new rebel troopers.

[@MandRproductions]

Thank you and I agree, would be great!

[@DarthBoba-ct8ci]

Imagine if the clones didn't have warts in this new battle pack...possible GOAT set

[@Tomreese130]

I can't wait to pick one of these up. I hope Lego continues to do this and gives us a Rebel fleet trooper & stormtrooper super battle pack!

[@Matt..S]

They should have made the Super Battle Droid's right hand more like the hook hand for minifigures, so it still is a clip, but opened at the bottom, not straight ahead, which looks weird for B2s when they in fact curl their hands down to fire.

[@neptunemacaw3354]

Now that we have a remake of the super battle droids how long do you think it will take to get commando droids or tactical droids? Or maybe for the first time a super tactical battle droid?

[@aleksihalme6726]

I'm sorry but I think we kind of missed that train if you look at what separatists based sets they have done in the last 5 years or so but those droids were a flesh idea at the time and that's what they used to do back in the good old 2008-2013 days but now they don't even care to make us a new Count Dooku minifigure anymore, even after these 10 long awaited years even if he has an appearance in an newer media or show or what not but it doesn't even matter, you could think one of the main bad guys and the leader of the separatists should get more of respect?

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

​@@aleksihalme6726I mean, it also took them nearly a decade to remake a Clone Wars era Padme and Chancellor Palpatine figures, so it's not just the prequel bad guys that haven't gotten enough love.

[@Jon_Hawke]

Getting 9 minifigures in a battle pack is my dream set finally come true

[@brickmanusa]

Love both of these!🔥

[@Shorjok]

I'm glad they've made the new battle pack with some regular P2 troopers. I would like to see them return to making normal battle packs again though with some unique collectable characters like the Bounty Hunter battle pack again though as I prefer variety over "army building" potential. That said, if they made a castle theme with battle packs I'd buy the hell out of those.

[@Servantofyapyap]

I like to believe the 2024 battle pack was supposed to be a rival pack to the 501st battle pack but got brushed to the side and forgotten for a while

[@Bas-TB]

I think the long speeders are just ridiculous, I have the 2 from the Bad Batch’s Marauder. All speeds I have seen in SW are the equivalent of a motorcycle with longer front. Lego however made them into the equivalent of a 2 seater build into a drag racer. I say 2 seater because a lot of Lego SW cockpits are reduced in width from 2 persons to 1 mini figure. Very understandable, but by bulking out the speeders they are as wide as most cockpits. They are like a 1/3 of width and 2/3 of the length of the Marauder, a version of the normal motor cycle would have been more fitting. The Marauder and the 2 speeders is kinda like a dual pack.

[@user-mn5lk8iw5h]

I really like the 2024 one better simply because I'm routed towards the CIS. Have to admit that the old helmets looked way better, but that tri-droid and all those droids nailed it. A side from the fact that I prefer droids more, the builds of 2024 really appears better to me; the 2020 ones are just too big to be mini fig scale, despite them looking really cool.

[@joshuapeterson8292]

The 2020 501st battlepack is near perfect in my opinion. I think the size of the builds makes them more enjoyable. I would've enjoyed a $5 price increase on the new battle pack with slightly better more accurate builds and no helmet holes. Regs don't wear helmet accessories!

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Imaigne if it didn't have helmet holes for a second... Which I would want to army build using this set if they didn't... Then again 3rd party helmets are cheap enough and that is my only issue with this set... But regardless I want atleast 1 as it's a remake of one of my most remebered sets from my childhood.

[@CommanderOfTDS]

Ask MandR: When are you releasing your 2023 lego starwars clone army?

[@TheGingerbreadeater]

I think what many people dont get is that these sets simply arent made to be bought in such masses as people do. They are meant to be bought maybe once or twice but at the end of the day theyre meant to be fun for a kid

[@smegalgaming]

I just noticed that 501st battlepack has red studs for clones, and clones vs droids has blue studs for clones🤯 I'm very attentive to these kind of details on the LEGO sets, so I'm happy to see the right color for good boys. Ps. You can argue that they are blue to oppose the red on droids side, but there was droids in 501st battlepack and on the box art both clones and droids where firing red lasers.

[@lbricks7631]

You brought up a good point with the cash-grab aspect of the 501st, as time has gone on I feel many people have forgotten that the $30 price tag was greedy and bloated. We were so happy that Lego was making Clones en masse again we blinded ourselves to the game that is capitalism, making them a bundle as we kept it consistently out of stock.

[@bananaman44556]

Yeah but I'm still gonna buy it I remember see the 501st one and saying Holy shit to the price but know I'm so used to it that I don't give a fuck. We need to make these super battle packs at least 25 for what they give. 30 bucks if they throw in more minifigs or builds and 15 for regular ones

[@dgray3771]

I got 2 of the 501st pack and wish I had the money for more. The thing is you don't need to builds and the pieces are fine. For a lego collector that is. But the figures were perfect. 3 regular troopers. But I need much more regular troopers than I'll ever need 501st. Since 501st is just Anakin's army units. Having the latest pack adds a few extra more elite troopers to the ranks. And the Ahsoka 332nd company trooper pack adds to the ranks as well. What we really need is many more regular troopers. Just to replace what we got with vehicles. Remember you got the fighter tank and the ATTE as well. Both with troops that belong with Mace Windu and Obi-Wan. This new pack is awesome. And you can use those figures to replace those. To free them up for display.

[@neow4]

[@duran4689]

30$ for a vs set would be a great theme to move forward with. However I hope they don’t skimp out on the build , specifically the clones side. I hope we see this theme for a revamped 212th battlepack with 212th troopers vs crab droid, magna guard and regular droids. Would be legendary

[@nanachilover7289]

All the stuff you mentioned is definitely a point of interest but here's another thing considering lego has gone back to giving the characters standard blasters instead of going cheap with those terrible stud shooter blasters, it shows in my opinion that lego is trying to appreciate its buyer consumers even though certain aspects such as the terrible looking helmets and how commander fox looks is a unfortunate byproduct of this

[@JackSmith-ns1uq]

Its interesting because personally, I dont think that the price or “set type” should indicate build quality, but rather using the parameters set for any given set, they should create something of quality that fits. For example, I dont see any reason that the build for the speeders in the Endor Speeder Chase diorama set couldnt be in a battlepack. I think most reviewers equated them to being a $20 value max. Id rather have a variety of figures with one, maybe two quality builds max. Or for this newest set, we got a bunch of half-baked, non canon builds. We couldve gotten one really good crab droid instead. Then not only are you building an army with a bunch of throw away pieces but you also getting a worthwhile addition to your army, whether that army if for an adult collector, or a kid playing. The 501st battlepack is the only battlepack to do this well, as both builds were as good as they could be - and just as MNR showed us, just one of them equates to everything the newest set gave us. EDIT: I do think the recent hoth battle packs also fit the more premium battlepack quality as you could literally add them to a $850 set.
