Indeed, if people really do want accuracy they can just hit a CAC or other third party store to get a more accurate figure of Vaughn. Even with the visor he can be passed off as a generic sergeant or other high ranking officer. I believe that this is the approach Lego should take going forward with clone BPs. It achieves the best of both worlds by allowing collectors to army build and hardcore clone fans to have an appropriately adequate figure of a named, notable character.

I think the whole notion of Lego Star wars, or even Lego itself, being intended purely for children is silly. Generally, Lego seeks to satisfy both the older and younger consumer groups. The battle packs, while having, like you said, the function of being merely a "cheap set to play with" (as evidenced by the more childish build included), they also serve as a means through which the older consumer, who has the funds necessary, can buy multiple of them and create armies or large groups of them, after all, by the source material, these are army troopers. It's the same with microfighters, a kid gets a silly little build they can swoosh around, a collector gets a desirable character in a cheap set. I genuinely believe they have two intended purposes and this is financially beneficial for the company. I think you are wrong to dismiss a critique from the adult consumer side by saying it's just a toy meant for little kids, as that's not true.

@@monstrblood6682 Great observation Mr. Skull emoji. I don't think they're particularly improperly implemented (now that's a tongue twister) but whatever. More importantly that's the part of the set that serves the purpose of satisfying the younger consumer base. An adult doesn't need an army of speeders or other goofy looking builds they've come up with for these, but they're there for the kid that gets a cheap set to play with, like you said. A kid doesn't need the helmet holes to be filled, but it should be there as it was in the past so that it is not off putting to the older collector who will get multiple of these. Lego doesn't want to make the figures more customizable for children, they want to save money by reusing the same mold.

Considering Ahsoka's 332nd is really just a couple companies rather than a full Legion, one realistically doesn't need to buy too many of the sets. Just however many is needed for the intended MOC. For me, I am thinking of switching up the pieces: Buying 501st helmets for the bodies, while placing the 332nd helmets on 212th bodies / regular troopers. A custom togruta jedi from spare Ahsoka/Shaak-Ti/Togruta figures and I have a different orange themed Legion!

Helmet holes are cool though

So when it comes to using named clones, I did actually find a neat workaround that I'll use for this pack. I'm just going to swap Vaughn's torso with a 501st, so I can have some generic 501st captains, and turn the Vaugh into a 4th 332nd trooper

Can we please be thankful that we got a captain vaughn figure it might not be the best but at least be thankful and just take off the visor for Mary building if your buying multiple it’s the same figure as the rest just with a visor so it’s the same in my opinion Lego made a smart choice for army building

Only way to make Vaughn look slightly better is to get a maroon coloured visor, luckily they are readily available from past battle packs!

The thing with Vaughn is that, if you remove the visor, it will be a normal 332nd trooper except for the rank piece, so you could get 4 troopers per pack if you already have a vaughn.

3:27 that's such a funny joke like when lego says only the best is good enough(really, it's just the only enough)

I also don’t get why they didn’t just retexture and recolor codys body. Like you had to change 1 design. I feel like they just didn’t care cuz vaughn isn’t as well known as cody so they thought we wouldn’t notice which is crazy.

where did you get the custom phase 2 clones from?

We need a plain phase 2 clone battle pack soon, I’m tired of having 501st troopers.

Yo Ryan I noticed in the video the 332nd helmet print is off creating white gaps at the cheeks. Which seems to be consistent in these new 332nd. Seen during David and Matt’s review as well. Like very noticeable white gaps instead of the gap in the gray area it is now on the orange bit which in my opinion is objectively worst.

I find it funny they keep labeling these tcw sets as 20th anniversary even though they have nothing to do with the 2003 clone wars.

Embracing a new Thumbnail pallette for star wars reviews, I like it.

Vaughn is so disappointing and lazy and it bothers me so much.

I am not a fan of this set overall. I don't mind the idea of a 332nd battle pack but having the ugly helmet hole clones instead of the perfectly fine helmets from the aat is a shame. No reason to include a named character (Vaughn) in a battle pack too, but since they did the Vaughn figure is inaccurate which is a shame. Overall I'll probably purchase one of these maximum. No way I'm Army building with this

New fav Battle Pack. Can’t wait to see the alternate builds of the swamp speeder

I got my older cousin to bring a dark red visor (I knew he had it) when he came over to my house. With that he gave me ALL of his clones, including p2 rex, arc, arf and a buttload of named characters and p1 clones. They were in a 2012 minifig bag/playmat. So much free clones!

Am i mad at the minifigure design choices? Yes. Will I buy this? Also yes

Look I like the fact we got a 332 battle pack. Its awsome we can recreate battle of Mandolor but cpt Vaughn being done soo badly tarnished what could had been an home run of a battle pack!

Honestly, I was skeptical over the swamp speeder. That turned out a bit better than I expected it would. Don't love the printing on the figures, but... I figure towards the end of its shelf life I'll pick up one or two if only to have more clones.

you still complaining about helmet holes 💀

They don't get better over time. They sucked a year ago, they suck today, they'll suck next year. This is a REVIEW, not an AD. If you want an ad for this set I can point you in that direction my guy.

Ok so Vaughn is really lazily done and Lego lied to us about the 'special helmet'. Also people are complaining that his little sun visor thing should have had printing, but I always said they shouldn't have kept their hopes up. Same with the printed jetpack on the back of him. Also, let's be honest if they tried to make a backpack for him it would probably be bad. Then there are the troopers. And the helmet holes. Know what's funny? The lego community have been asking lego to give the phase 2 clones helmet holes for years now. Then we finally get it, and people are acting like its ruining their lives. The lego community needs to be slapped across the face and woken up.

Ok to be fair, at least the laziness means you can just lay off the “captain Vaughn” as a officer figure

I think lego made captain vaughn like this to be easily replaced by a standart trooper. I dont think it was a lazy decision at all.

We get that, it's just if you're gonna make captain Vaughan at least make it look like him. If not then don't bother.

My theory is they purposely made Vaughn like that, without the visor he basically looks like a normal 332nd and still works for army building

Oh my god are people this thick? That's the point! They made it look generic so that it doesn't look too much like vaughn. What people get annoyed at is to why they called it vaughn even though they intended for it not to look like him much.

Getting tired of Lego’s laziness. I’m glad you’re one of the only few KZreadrs actually calling them out on it. We deserve better.

would it be worth it to buy this then swap the helmets to 501st? you would still have the Vaughn torso to deal with but, making these regular 501st would improve the set for army building.

Exactly. This set and the other 501st battle pack being on store shelves at the same time is perfect because it allows people to mix and match parts to make regular 501st troopers and 332nd specialists.

Wow, a german Lego supplier. Nice. The pronounciation was a bit off though xD I would love a video on Lego set 7961 one day. It is the Scimitar set I got my Darth Maul from. A comparison of all Scimitar models would be awesome, like you did on the Soulless One. Not too certain on this pack, I find it rather lazy just like you. I probably would not buy it at 20 bucks, maybe at 15.

Nah I agree with Ryan. The helmet holes have ruined clones for me. I should be excited to get all these new clone types but why care when they will look ugly? The helmet doesn’t even look rounded anymore, the holes literally make it look like it’s square. They look terrible next to the old clone helmets.

Why do you keep saying things that your subjective opinions are objective? The helmet holes aren’t the best no but that’s a subjective opinion , not objective which you keep saying. No problem with you not liking them but your vocab is off.

The helmets look less accurate and hence worse than before (not to mention the prints). It is objective. Compare to source material.

Great review Ryan! I’ll be definitely passing on this one for sure. Terrible execution from LEGO on this, plain clones would have been 10000% better in my opinion. Helmet holes gotta go! As always, great review! 🙏🔥

Can anyone explain where they’ve seen a plain Phase 2 Clone Trooper? They just don’t exist until Bad Batch. So why does there seem to be this sudden push for plain P2 Clones, particularly in pre-Bad Batch sets?

only the real ones were at the whatnot stream when you got these. i completely agree that it should've been a versus battle pack. im probably going to pick up a couple of helmets to get rid of the ugly holes.

Need 'em for my Siege of Mandalore build so it sucks it isn't better.

Would have rather had a Rebel Trooper BP. Call me names and a loser all you want for asking for an OT Battle Pack, but with YAVIN 4 coming, it would have been perfect. 3 Rebel Troopers and 1 Ground Trooper would be amazing

Nobody's gonna do that, an Empire battlepack (maybe Andor based, with two Stormtroopers, an Army Trooper, and a Death Trooper) is sorely needed as well. The more battlepacks the better, as long as they aren't badly botched.
