Battlepacks

Post by Mr. Duck » Thu Dec 18, 2008 9:36 pm

I remember back in Spring that Battlepacks, packs of five figures for certain types of themes, were flying off the shelves. Now I can't even find them on the Lego website. What happened? I've been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true. But seriuosly what happened to them? If I remeber correctly there were knights, skeletons, clones from starwars, and another one I can't remember.

I have 7 things to prove you didn't look hard enough.

6. Knights
7. Skeletons

these are cool but a bit price I think.

The battlepacks with figures from Episodes IV to VI of Star Wars still exist.

Since I couldn't get some this Manly Santa Day, I'll wait untill my birthday.

There are new Clone Wars SW battlepacks coming out. The Clones one has a mini walker and the Droids one basically re-colored the speeder bike from the old Clones battlepack.

ok lets get a expert in here the packs were pack of four not five and the reason they took them off the "shelfs" is because early next year there are going to be new clone battle packs and new droid battle packs i know that the rebel and storm trooper pack are still out at lest where i live they are and one more thing you got to rember these clone wars pack have been out for something like two year so there have run there time


the castle pack if there are indeed not being sold any more is probley dew to the limitedness of them i don't think i ever saw them in stores and they seemed to be a some what excluse set and now the castle them is going away form the people and more toward the mythological castle
Been here longer then pretty much all of you or some shit.

That's weird, because Rayhawk and Blitzen always count at least 6 things. I wonder why's that...

It's in the More Rules thread:

This makes it look like it's part of a bigger list, which is useful if you want people to think you've done more work than you actually have.

I think J+B has a crush on Blitzen.

I thought he even said it before, but I can't remember correctly if he actually did so...

That's probably true. He is always complementing her...

About the battlepacks. I know that there was a droid, a clone, a rebel, and a imperial battlepack, because i purchased them. I haven't seen them is stores for a while though. Lego will probably take them off the website soon.

I don't know anything about medieval battlepacks though.
