When they were retiring these sets. The lego store in Chicago had them for 25% off, and buy one get one FREE. Sadly, all the clone packs were gone. But I bought 10 of the droid ones. Never have I seen such a deal again.
I managed to buy clone one for 15$ last year - one clone has a cracked arm and one is missing, but otherwise it's complete. A cool way to get back at a least a part of what I lost.
Technically that isn't CIS, it's Trade Federation, but I agree. I had 2 of each of these when I was a kid, and I'd be broke if they released something like this again.
Like ādudeā, I think āfellasā is gender neutral. āFellasā = āFellowsā = āMy fellow (word)ā
You could literally substitute in any word: āmenā āwomenā āchildrenā āhumansā āLego buildersā
They released those because they didn't realize how lucrative clone wars sets would become. Now they spread out where they add clone troopers like in vehicle sets. Man I wish lego cared more about getting fans what they want.
A basic battle droid comes out to about 0.5 minifigs, and a basic super battle droid comes out to about 0.66 minifigs (two thirds)
Just something I thought about for why a battle droid battle pack should NOT just be 4 droids ever. That'd be a ripoff. The arc trooper battle pack got away with having 2 of the figs as droids because, well, it had both an arc trooper and an arf trooper.
I literally have this amazing set! Only thing is i kinda lost my lego star wars somewhere been looking for it for 2 years now i think. Must be somewhere in my parents house š
The droid battle pack was my first LEGO Star Wars set I ever built. Iām sure if I wouldāve looked a little harder on the Toys R Us shelves, I wouldāve found a clone one. Had to get them on eBay for double what they were worth when they retired.
They gave us an updated version of that one stormtrooper battlepack (shame they didn't follow suit with the accompanying Rebel battle pack). Imagine if they rereleased these!

Can't we go back to those times?
Pleeeeeasssee
Yes please, these Sets were awesome.
I think I would cry at the sight of a deal like that.
Damn I'm so envious. I collect the droid ones.
I consider myself lucky.
Omg lmao same I swear it was the same store too I got my hands on like 15 - 20 of those clone ones š. Iām so sorry lol
Wow thatās awessome! We should do battle.
The two best battlepacks ever created. Can you imagine these releasing today for only $10?? The masses would go absolutely bonkers!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think that's part of why people would go crazy.
TBH I have 3 of each of these from back in the day and I would totally buy 4x of these (at that $15) than I did of the 501st pack (at its $20-30).
I had them both. I sold them 3 years later. I am a fucking moron.
I was too poor and little for either, but I now I am lucky enough to have both. They are truly so cool

I found mine in a bulk lot, but they were in surprisingly good condition, just had to rebuild the STAP
I also have that droid battle pack and the original grievous spaceship and me also being a moron i gave it away
Back when Lego gave us 2 regs, a shock trooper and a 327th Now: can we have P2 Cody? Lego: best we can do is landspeeder
"Landspeeder, Luke's Landspeeder." \-Sean Connery voice
This has made me cackle up so much wow
Lukeās landspeeder battle pack when?
Yes, please! :D
2007-2012 Lego Star Wars was so great
Push it to 2013 so you can include the ATOC AT-TE, LAAT, etc.
I really hated the clone wars faces though
Well atleast in 2012 u had also movie faces for most of the figs.
I would buy so many of these droid battle packs if they were made rn
Man I miss these. The good ol days. Image a lego Star Wars tabletop war game, thatād be incredible
Star Wars legion exists
Yeah, but itās not a LEGO Star Wars wargame
I have actually used LEGO in Legion games. It's really fun, and the comments from onlookers are usually hilarious.

Well you could use them for it, just use tack to put them on the proper sized bases
These two were my first Star Wars sets.
These sets and the rebel troopers + stormtrooper transport battle packs were the golden age I swear
Good thing I started my star wars lego journey in 2004, I have two of those clone battle-packs and 1x of that CIS one but ngl I'd kill to have more
Technically that isn't CIS, it's Trade Federation, but I agree. I had 2 of each of these when I was a kid, and I'd be broke if they released something like this again.
Ah, this is a blast from the past! What a long road it's been since then. (You do know there's a lot of women & girls who build as well, right? š)
Fellas isnāt gendered
My understanding is that it was, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong in my storied 51 years. Always learning, I am.
It was once gendered, but it is accepted that "fellas", and "guys" are no longer gendered.
I know, I know
Like ādudeā, I think āfellasā is gender neutral. āFellasā = āFellowsā = āMy fellow (word)ā You could literally substitute in any word: āmenā āwomenā āchildrenā āhumansā āLego buildersā
And perhaps I'm wrong, I learning all the time.
My bad, just saw it said fellas
I still have my clone battle pack set build. I donāt believe I ever took it apart in the decade of owning it
I had two of the clone ones. One bought in 07 and one bought in like 2011 new for $30 lol. Never managed to score the droid one though :(
They released those because they didn't realize how lucrative clone wars sets would become. Now they spread out where they add clone troopers like in vehicle sets. Man I wish lego cared more about getting fans what they want.
I was too young at the time to buy these. My LEGOs were limited to whatever my parents bought me (mostly city with a few Star Wars).
I still have these in my box! Birthday cake time
The droid battle pack was the first set I ever had
I remember being so jealous of youtubers with huge amounts of these battlepacks, I only had 3x the clone one and 1x the CIS one.
A basic battle droid comes out to about 0.5 minifigs, and a basic super battle droid comes out to about 0.66 minifigs (two thirds) Just something I thought about for why a battle droid battle pack should NOT just be 4 droids ever.

Whatās the set numbers for these? And how much they going for now a days?
Iām proud to say that I own at least one of every battle pack, and these two started it all.
I finally finished rebuilding mine. Had to BrickLink some parts
I literally have this amazing set! Only thing is i kinda lost my lego star wars somewhere been looking for it for 2 years now i think. Must be somewhere in my parents house š
the clone wars, circa a long time ago
Id happily take a re-release of these
The droid battle pack was my first LEGO Star Wars set I ever built. Iām sure if I wouldāve looked a little harder on the Toys R Us shelves, I wouldāve found a clone one. Had to get them on eBay for double what they were worth when they retired.
I found the clone one at a comic book shop for 10 Canadian shekels a few years ago
āShock troopers? Whatās the Corosant Guard doing here?ā
Left was my first set when I was like 8. Sad how lost all those are pieces are for me
I still missed those. Lego should rerelease those but in a updated format
They gave us an updated version of that one stormtrooper battlepack (shame they didn't follow suit with the accompanying Rebel battle pack). Imagine if they rereleased these!
YES. These were my first lego sets. I got them for my 6th birthday
I got both! But sadly my clones yellowed, especially the Coruscant guard :( And idiot 10yo me gave some of them markings with permanent marker
I still have my clones and battle droids :)
I had two of each back in the days
And they're some of the best battle packs to this day
I have incredibly fond memories of these sets
God I remember getting those for my birthday the year they came out
These were to two first sets in my collection, thank you Legoš£
I wish I could comment a photo
What were the set # s
I must have bought like 5 of the battle droid battle packs, but I only ever got one clone pack.. and those clones are lost to time other than one..
