What has happened to Battle Packs?
Posted by CapnRex101,
Brickset has been attending the annual Fan Media Days, held virtually this year, during the last couple of days. We accordingly had an opportunity to conduct several designer interviews on Friday.
These included an interview with two LEGO Star Wars designers, Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and Michael Lee Stockwell. While some information cannot be published until later this year, we did ask one burning question that could be answered now, relating to the status of Battle Packs. An extract from our interview follows:
Brickset: Battle Packs were noticeably absent from the Star Wars range during January, for the first time since 2007. What has happened to them?
Michael: Nothing!
Jens: This is something which is actually quite difficult to explain. It is not always up to us what the range will contain or which products are required on shelves. Omitting the Battle Packs during January was not a deliberate choice and is certainly not an indication that Battle Packs are dead or never going to happen again. We just did not launch any at that time.
Michael: I think we can safely say, they will be back.
Jens: Absolutely, they will be back. They are absolutely not gone forever so LEGO Star Wars fans can rest easy!
Brickset: Excellent. I am sure you saw the surprise from fans when no Battle Packs were released during January.
Jens: Yes, we expected it could be a big surprise because the Battle Packs have been running for so long. We always want to bring new products and innovation but also know that certain things should remain ever-present.
Which future Battle Packs would interest you the most? Let us know in the comments.
Additional information from our interview with Star Wars designers and interviews about several other themes will be published later in the summer.

Great!
...now can they be back with four identical, army-building figures please...?
I'd like to order a goat and Star Wars animals battle pack, please!

But then you wouldn't buy double the amount of battle packs ;)
Will be great to see them back, just curious what the battle packs will feature
Although I don't imagine it would be anywhere like popular enough, i think it would be fun to have these packs with different themes. Specifically I think it's what would have been the perfect finishing touch to The Hobbit line (thinking third film).
I once would have said storm troopers, but to a certain extent, that itch has been scratched. Now, with my Son into the Clone Wars, I would love to see a battle pack that has a mix of different clone legions and armour variants. The 501st got theirs, but there are plenty of other rare ones that pull some serious coin on Bricklink now.
Gotta love some clone battle packs! Looking out for more Clone Wars ones, maybe a rerelease Utapau Troopers in mega battle pack form?
Commandos?
ARC troopers?
Ewoks definitely need a battle pack.
Plenty of options for small builds to go with it
OT Stormtroopers (also useful for Mandalorian) would be good, or Mandalorian Dark Troopers.
Updated Gungan battle pack with new Kaadu molds please.
It's been 21 years since 7115 !
That's good to hear. I understand not everything from LEGO needs to be shared with its fans, but it is nice to have some transparency now and then.
And yes, a Kaadu and Gungan battle pack would be super!

Nah, they'd buy 10x the amount because it's all figs ya want.
Jedi... Temple... Guard... Battle... Pack
I'm glad they haven't been discontinued. The best battle packs marketing-wise would be tied to The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch.
A dream pack for the Mando series would be to re-use molds of various Star Wars species to make an offworld market pack, for example use the molds of Ree-Yees, Momaw Nadon, Gamorrean, and an R4 droid. Get some more use of those molds they invested in!
I would like the battle pack with saw Gerrera's rebels
Wookiees battle pack please
So... a folllow-up question for me would be are they still $15 battle packs?
I'd like to see Death Troopers, Maul Mandalorians, 332nd, 327th, 91st Troopers, Rebel Fleet Troopers, and Scout Troopers in Battle Packs in the future. That may be asking too much.
What I want:
- Utapau Army (the two races of Utapau with a creature mount);
- Imperial Support (Flame Trooper, Mortar Trooper, Sniper and Riot Trooper with a sensor radar build);
- Purge Trooper BP (x2 Purge Troopers, Purge Trooper Commander and a Scout Trooper with a generic vehicle);
Etc.

The license LEGO had for LOTR and The Hobbit didn't allow them to make battle packs (that's why the 2012 Helms Deep set had that big wall section and other stuff). They weren't allowed to make battle packs because of the license Games Workshop has for the middle-earth tabletop game.
Admiral Ackbar (Mon Calamari) battle pack! :)

Can you elaborate what this license is called exactly, because I doubt it actually is "Battlepack". Small figure-only sets have been made in that line and I doubt the license of any brand distinguishes named characters from nameless soldiers or some such. "

OMG!!! it's been forever and that's one of those sets I feel bad about missing out on because I was like two years old when it came out! They could totally do something cool with 4 gungan warriors for the minfigus (one could have a horn instead of a weapon), and for the large parts they could a new kaadu (I doubt they'd do two) and a brickbuilt shield generator! Or they could even remake the plasma ball design and re release the original cart that the kaadu pull
Thanks for the interview - it was a specific question I proposed for the fan media days, although I suspect you would’ve asked it anyway if I hadn’t mentioned it!
Good to see the love for a Gungan battle pack! The original 2000 one wasn’t really a battle pack in the format we’re used to now, but I could definitely envisage 3 or 4 Gungan Warrior minifigs with 1 Kaadu and small shield/catapault build. If TLG were trying to be very ‘current’ then there’s one or two groups they could have battlepacks for from The Bad Batch, but they could also have an ‘Imperial Remnant’ or ‘Dark Trooper’ battle pack for Mandalorian. But then there’s so many more forces from the Prequels or Clone Wars they could do. Only a single 332nd trooper in a large tank set for the finale of Clone Wars was pretty minimal in 2020! I actually thought they’d do a 332nd battle pack for 2021 but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Whereas we already HAVE had many OT Stormtrooper, First Order, Rebel, regular Clone, droid and to a certain degree Mandalorian battle packs. It’ll be good to see some variants.
Ewoks, Wookies, or maybe astromech droids, would all be nice.
I will never ask for Battlepacks anymore, especially if they stay at 30 bucks.
Since 2018 the subject matter of most of them is terrible or the distribution of common soldiers to specialist types is terrible if you can even call it that when you put in Javas and R2-D2 with a different head (not even new).
The need to buy third-party blasters or pay just as much for official blasters due to their rarity is ludicrous. If you take away Standard size blasters from BPs at least sell them elsewhere, put more of them extra in other sets. Don't give pilots and engineers always the smallest blaster possible if you are this stingy with the medium sized ones.
Raising the price of the Anniversary Stormtrooper BP by 5 bucks and the 501st """Battlepack""" to twice as much as normal broke the camels back for me.
I got my fill of blank minifig body parts and plan to make custom heads and helmets in the future. Unless they start coming to their senses and start making actual battlepacks again I can just skip all future BPs now.
No battlepacks in the 20€ range.
No battle droid or astromech is worth the same as a regular minifig.
Start doing obvious choices again like a Scout & Stormtrooper pack for The Mandalorian and plain white Phase 2 Clones for Bad Batch.
Stop pretending one or no clone battlepack in production is enough, you could have 4 different legions in one january wave and people would gobble it up.
If Stormtroopers and Clones are too boring for the battlepack designers, there actually are many large armies that have yet been omitted from the battlepack treatment that deserved it far earlier than Jawas. Geonosians, Wookies, Gungans, Naboo Guards, Umbarans, quite a few variants of Rebels and Resistance.
No need to do non-canon designs for anything like Geonosis Phase 2 Clone BP (or at least pay attention that the helmets are correctly ARF types).
No Battlepacks with civilians and named characters anymore (Javas, Ki-Adi Mundi, 4-LOM)
No Battlepacks exclusively for small units (Royal Guards, Inferno Squad, First Order Executioners), but putting in 1 member of a small squad is ok if the rest is more common.
It does not have to be 4 of the same common soldier necessarily but pay attention how many soldiers there are in the scenes you are adapting. For example Praetorian Guards: The BP has 2 plate heads and 1 Snout. There are 2 plate heads, 3 Snouts and 3 Buckets in the actual scene. I can understand not making a bucket head mould but Plate Head should have been 1 per pack so it makes sense mathematically and doesn't necessitate too many purchases of the set or extra purchases of lone figs from Ebay.
A fully-committed return to actual blaster components rather than stud shooters would be appreciated.
I'd like to see some rebel alliance packs again. How about an early rebellion era battle pack? (Bad batch/Solo)
I think something with more specialised troopers would be cool, like a Commander Monnk and some aqua troopers with an OMS Devilfish or something like that. Specialised trooper packs would be cool!!
I wouldn't even know where to start. There are so many possibilities still for battle packs.
Glad they are not gone and glad too that the designers gave such straightforward and to the point answers.
That you very much for the interview.
Now also would love to see them come back to City (Starter Packs) , and Castle/Pirates/Space if Creator gets more themed sets.

I would argue that the extra wall for Helms Deep as well as the Mirkwood Elves set are both battle packs. Neither model is particularly impressive on its own, but they can be combined to create more substantial models. Plus both sets come with a healthy collection of minifigures.
The real issue is that there simply weren’t enough Hobbit and LOTR sets. I’m glad they didn’t make too many battle packs as that gave us more builds. This is a line that I really hope they bring back.
All I want is Ewoks battle packs. And not just from Jedi, but from the Ewoks movies as well.
Can I have a Johnny Thunder battle pack please?

I would definitely have been in favor of that. Another Ninjago pack or two a year would be nice as well, especially since it usually gives us the chance for an exclusive figure or two on top of army building.
@CarolinaOnMyMind said:

What? A battle pack with four Johnny Thunder minifigures? I’m down!!!
@alfred_the_buttler said:

That'd be interesting but I can't see LEGO acknowledging the Ewoks movies honestly. I don't know if they're actually hidden gems or not but the Star Wars Holiday Special is better known at this point. Regardless, an Ewok Battle Pack is long overdue, it just occurred to me that I only have one after over a decade of getting LEGO Star Wars sets lol.
@alfred_the_buttler said:
"All I want is Ewoks battle packs. And not just from Jedi, but from the Ewoks movies as well. "
I’d be down for that. Have an Ewok battle pack, and a Maurauder battle pack! I would love a battle pack based off of the Ewoks animated show. It could have Wicket, Kneesa, Latara, and Teebo. They all are generic looking enough to satisfy army builders, but also are the four main characters from the show, so would satisfy people who want characters in BPs.
Clone battle pack. There are never too many clones.
How'bout "a star wars story" battle pack with shoretroopers from rogue one and mudtroopers from solo.
A Jedi youngling with Evil Anakin battle pack!
City "Battle" packs...
4 Construction workers...
4 Medics...
4 Firemen...
4 Jungle/Sea/Volcano/Arctic Explorers..
That's Summer releases for the next few years sorted
Ooh, make a Jedi Younglings battle pack, but release a limited number of "chase" copies that just come with four burnt skeletons and a pre-Mustafar Darth Vader.
@jonwil:
The Helm's Deep "battle pack" served a second purpose. The actual Helm's Deep set was pretty expensive, but included very little of the Deeping Wall in order to focus on the Hornburg as much as possible. Buying several of these packs then allowed you to extend the Deeping Wall as long as you wanted, while including troops to line the wall in defense, cavalry to ride to Rohan's defense, and a massive attacking army. The section of wall included with the Hornburg had the culvert, which was the only really unique component of the wall. The rest of the wall was pretty much devoid of any distinguishing features, so the wall pack was really a (mostly*) beautiful solution to what would otherwise be an unsolvable problem. To recreate the entirety of Helm's Deep as a single set, even with how scaled down the Hornburg is, would have easily cost $500+.
* The only glaring problem with this solution is that you end up with a cavalry force that consists of a bunch of Eomer clones. If he had been included in a set that only required one purchase, and a generic Rohirrim rider was put in his place, then you could buy as many of these wall packs as you wanted without having to tweak any of the minifigs.
@TeriXeri:
For sure, they need to be giving kids everywhere more Fire Starter Packs!
@alfred_the_buttler:
Worse than the Deeping Wall pack, where you could at least swap out Eomer's heads to create some generic Rohirrim, buying multiples of the Elf pack leaves you with an army of King Thranduils.

Yes please! I'm tired of switching blasters for stud shooters when taking pictures of Star Wars figs.
@ReyMando said:

Definitely, Gungans need to come back with at least one Kaadu.
I don't care if there are four identical troops, named characters, or a mix- I just want more SW minifigures!
How about offering more than one battle pack at any given time, please. And include regular blasters along with stud shooters so everyone is satisfied!
Any Battle Pack is a good Battle Pack!
Btw, I would also appreciate any Ancient, Medieval, Imperial, etc... Battle Packs! :)
A new Black Falcons battle pack would be cool
501st battle pack would be nice since the current set never stays in stock long enough to buy. This may be a problem unique to being in Australia, I think other countries have plenty of stock?
Then cover all the clone battalions using 4 soldiers without any officers. Add officers to other sets.

I just hope the new Amazon LOTR show means more sets, regardless of the show itself. Lego never did make enough LOTR sets.

Seconded, without the Star Wars animals. Goats with lightsabers are the only Star Wars animals you need
70841 Benny's Space Squad was a dream come true for this old spacer, so I absolutely support the "Battle Pack" concept in other LEGO themes where troop building is welcome (Castle, Space, Pirate, various City subthemes).
As for Star Wars specifically, I'm an OT guy, so Imperial/Rebel packs with a variety of roles/troops/ranks would always be welcome. Pilots, troopers, specialty troopers, deck officers/ship crew, maintenance crew...there are some deep cuts that I'd be happy to see.
@waterytowers:
Definitely a local problem. In the US, LEGO.com has both the 501st and AAT (332nd) in stock, plus I've seen them regularly at the local LEGO Store and at other retail chains for several months.
@Draykov:
70841 needs to get a "Battle Pack" tag.
Phew! Hopefully we’ll get some next year.
An Imperial Remnant Battle Pack (2 Dark Troopers, Stormtrooper and an officer) would probably be a neat one.
All I want is a battle pack with 4 different Tusken Raiders. Or three raiders and two of their dogs.

Unfortunately we even had rumours it was retired in Australia which made it harder to get as scalpers were buying everything in bulk. Bloody rediculous since we have had very little stock since it's release. Lego Australia are a bunch of numbnuts and are constantly stuffing up stock levels of sets in demand. Bring back a high AUD exchange rate so we can buy from overseas.

Personally, I like the ones with three identical figures and an officer or commander, like 75266.
As for the calls for a Black Falcon pack, I say bring back Forestmen, just to do a battle pack!
Lego brand stores in Australia have blister packs of four minifigures from City, Ninjago, Batman, Avengers etc. In Australia they are exclusives. How are they sold in other countries?
@AddictedToStyrene:
I don't recall seeing any of the modern blister packs (the ones with the minifig-shaped blister) anywhere besides the LEGO Store, though that doesn't mean they aren't available elsewhere online. All of the big D2C sets show up on Amazon, then the Walmart and Target sites, even though they're technically LEGO Brand Retail exclusives. I've even seen multiple copies of the Elf Clubhouse on the shelf at a local Target, complete with a shelf tag. I do believe older blister packs, like 852272, have been sold through other retailers.
Star Wars battle packs are cool and all, but what about other themes? Specifically Castle. I wouldn't mind if they just straight-up re-released the 2008 Castle battle packs, like 852272-1, 852272-2, and 4559922-1

I believe I’ve seen them on rare occasions in Walmart, and target.
@Cooliocdawg:
If it's something they sell directly online (as compared to other companies using their platform to sell their own product), they'll accept returns at any physical store. This may be how the one store near me ended up getting copies of Elf Clubhouse (and the reason I'd never touch them, for fear that someone bought them online, swiped the minifigs out of them, and returned them for a full refund).
My local Target had eight of the Elf Clubhouse. I doubt they were returns.
I can't wait for the Starfleet battlepack!

As much as I agree with most of the comment, I have to admit I completely disagree with the slating of the Tatooine battle pack... Yes, it isn't a 'battle' pack as such, and you're right that the R2 unit was weak... But for anyone who owns a sandcrawler, you can never have too many Jawas! And prior to this, they had never really come in cheap sets, so you couldn't really amass them... Same goes for Tusken Raiders- there's never been more than one Tusken Raider in a set (with the current head mould I mean), so to get a way of getting more for cheap is amazing
Ewoks!!!

I'll take five of the above, thank you. Also, an Uruk-hai battle pack would be much appreciated. I want an army to rival that of Mordor!
Here are my Star Wars battle pack concepts I did a while ago:
Naboo Battle Pack - 2x Gungan Soldiers, 1x Naboo Security Officer, 1x Naboo Security Guard
Kaadu + Cart or Speeder Build
Geonosian Battle Pack - 3x Geonosoian Warriors, 1x Geonosian Zombie
Cannon Build
Wolfpack Battle Pack - 4x Phase II Wolfpack Troopers
Death Watch Battle Pack - 3x Mandalorian Super Commandos, 1x Mandalorian Death Watch Warrior
Speeder Bike Build
Coruscant Battle Pack - 2x Phase II Clone Shock Troopers, 1x Phase II Clone Trooper, 1x Senate Commando
Pyke Battle Pack - 4x Pykes
Episode III Battle Droid Battle Pack - 4x MagnaGuards, 3x Buzz Droids
Solo Troopers Battle Pack - 2x Mimban Stormtroopers, 2x Mudtroopers
Bespin Battle Pack - 2x Bespin Guards, 2x Ugnaughts
Cloud Car Build
Jabba's Palace Battle Pack - 2x Gamorrean Guards, 1x Klatooinian, 1x Weequay, or 1x Nikto
B'Omarr Monk Build
Battle Droid Battle Pack - 5x Battle Droids, 2x Super Battle Droids, 2x Commando Droids, 1x Tactical Droid, 2x Droidekas
Any clone trooper battle pack would be good but other than that I would like to see a Wookiee battle pack, a scarif battle pack(shore troopers), a b2 droid battle pack or a new republic battle pack
@Paladin_Ignatius:
The 9471 Deeping Wall pack did have a few Uruk-hai, if you didn't mind spending just as much on building up the forces of Rohan. Otherwise, there was the 30211 Uruk-hai polybag...if you could find it. The only places in the US I know of that carried it were the LEGOLAND stores. Since there wasn't one open in Michigan at that time, I had to try to acquire them in Chicago when I went there for Brickworld. They happened to be sold out at the time, so it ended up requiring a Bricklink order from someone out west. I got two, because they cost $10 plus shipping, so buying one would have made it feel too expensive, and buying more would have required too much of a cash outlay. If you could get them at retail, though, the price per minifig would have been roughly comparable to the battle packs of the day. The same held true for the Green Army Men, where you could buy four of the single-minifig 30071 polybags for about the same price as the 4-minifig 7595 battle pack. However, in both cases, you got stuck with a less desirable piece of equipment. The Uruk-hai came with a halberd instead of those mass-produced orc swords, and the Green Army Man had a walkie instead of a rifle.
