I hate to admit it but I have no clone troopers in my collection. It's not that I don't want them. I do. It's just that they sell out really fast and are never restocked in large numbers. Supplies are limited! Even though they're meant to be army builders. Those two ideas are clearly opposed to each other. You think some executive at Hasbro would figure that out. I know what you're going to say, "Tom, you can always pre-order them online." Here's the thing, I'm not in a position to take advantage of pre-orders. I collect by the seat of my pants. That means I buy what I can when I can. Even with a college degree, I have a crummy job in a recession. I also have a son I'm putting through college, a mortgage to pay, food, constantly rising in price, to put on the table, gas, also constantly rising in price, to put in my car to drive me to my crummy job. So a pre-order that could come at any time within in a half year could potentially over drawl my checking account, which could cost me another fifty to seventy dollars in penalty fees. That's why I don't have clone troopers in my collection. Instead of making me jump through a bunch of hoops, can't Hasbro just put more on the pegs of my local Target or Walmart? Is that too much to ask?
Damn I get all of what youre saying and that sucks. But I think theres two right now that are very easy pickups because they have been restocked heavily. The 501st and Cody. They arent amazing, but in the shelf they do look great and I think you won't have to preorder or anything.
@@thecocomastiux3655, I just went to my local stores yesterday. My Walmart only had General Lando and my Target only had carbonized Scout Troopers. I long for the days when I was a kid and could walk into Toys R Us and stand in front of a wall of Star Wars figures. You could always find something you liked. Now my choices are relegated to six pegs and four of them are empty.
@@tombowling8646 I went to my nearest Target last week and there was literally nothing but Lando figures on the pegs - - a total of 20 of them spread between the Black Series and the Vintage Collection. This insanity needs to STOP! Why can't Hasbro and these retail stores work together to keep the pegs stocked and repeatedly restocked with the army builders such as Clone figures that fans actually want to buy?
@@Daniel-415-Ponce, exactly! On a side note, I just got back from my local Target about an hour ago. Among the carbonized Scout Troopers, I found Dengar hanging on the pegs. I went to the self checkout to buy it and when I scanned it, the screen went red and locked. A target lady pushed some buttons and said, "I can't sell this to you. It can't be sold until the 18th." I left Target, fucked again. I'm at the point where I'm going to switch over to the McFarlane DC Multiverse line. Fuck the Black Series!
It's amazing how much of a difference the black line makes. Really like the look of the yellow around the cheeks of the helmet. Always liked that look since I saw Bly for the first time.
Yes, yes, keep that black line on our clone troopers. I totally agree that if they're gonna do "repaints" as in carbonized or credit collection, just paint more clones. You think Hasbro would realize that they could make a fortune on just clones alone. Huh?! Can't wait to get 2 of these guys. Great review as always. 👍
Wazza! 40! If you give me 14 of them, we'll both have 26 each!! Can't say fairer than that. What do you do with them? I bet they look epic. Do you post pictures of your collection anywhere?
@@DavidEdge69 my OT emperor is quite a collection. As my nephew sai, you can’t have an imperial army with one stormtrooper. Oh, out of the mouths of babes. He’s 7! Lol
Ooooh he is awesome. So I am team black line too. It just looks cleaner. I get accuracy but.. consistency on my shelf would be great. I could go without black line but just give it or don't. I love all clones. Every clone. I do wish they would move/fix the kneepad. Do I loose sleep over it? No. Do I notice it? Yes!! Great video thanks.
Technically the 501st Jet Trooper had a black line on his 2020 mold, but that figure only had the helmet. that was the oddball figure that’s a mix of all current clone articulation with the modified 2020 body to take a jetpack and the older articulated arms and legs.
The 501st is a dope figure! I think the Rex and Bly body it’s on is probably the best for clones in terms of articulation and stature. Thanks for watching Andrew! -Nate
Wow that’s nuts! It’s $28 here and even that is getting a little high for a bare bones clone. Hopefully this one will make its way into that sellers possession. Thanks for watching Linda! -Nate
Love the look of this Clone Nate, a well worthy repaint that makes sense.Wow, we get the 2020 clone body and the black line.How i love the black line on the helmet, it really does finish the look of the figure off.I do wish that the CW troopers also have the black line, but i do understand the lack of black line is accurate to The Clone Wars show.The mustard yellow colour looks fantastic,this trooper is going to "pop" on the shelves.Awesome review Nate.
Yeah I’m hoping maybe Hasbro will see the positive response to this figure and give us more black lines. I want consistency above anything else in the clones so it would be nice to get more black lines. Thanks for watching Boba!! -Nate
Solid Review Nate. Always like your comparisons with other figures. The 13th battalion Clone looks good. The V pattern on his chest is really appealing to the eye for me and i feel this color scheme will go good as a shoe in for Blys battalion.
I saw him for 63 on ebay... But I'll wait for my pre-order. Then I'm gonna get a bunch when they come into circulation. My favorite clone trooper body by far! Looks so pretty! That color is so nice on clones. I just got my 212th clone the other day! Bring on the clones! I'm going to paint a black line on my 212 here soon. Thanks guys! - Stephen
Awesome review. This figure looks incredible. I definitely hope we see these figures sooner than later (not March 2023). Let’s keep the Clones coming. Thanks always for the great content!
I was joking a while back about getting you a black line for your birthday. I just realized I kinda did. 😂 Btw sorry about the warping. I was totally not aware of it. Hope you’re able to fix it.
Great review Nate I'm loving the looks of the 12 battalion trooper, I recently got the new cal Kestis and it would look so great next to him which now makes me really want a jaro tapas, do you think we will get one any time soon?
Hello Nate you guys are lucky to have friends from other countries that help you get the newer figures, I'm so jelly. But truly I'm happy for you and Justin. Another great figure review video 👍. Can't wait for these figures to be released in the US. As others have commented these clones will be with Captain Bly. Can't wait for tomorrow " Wheel of Death 💀. I'll catch you and Justin later, Tom
Tom! I'm looking forward to the "Death Wheel" as well! I said before on the last one, they should have a smaller prize for the first person to be kicked off!
What the shit!!?? You have a clo-none before the mighty English Dave!!! I'm outraged to the point of outrageous-ness!! I ordered 3 of these bhad-bhoiz from hasbro pulse Uk at 30 quid each and heard nothing! Even more outraged than the outrage I felt earlier!! Mortally OUTRAGED!! Top review as usual N8 the GR8!!
Hello David I'm sorry your outraged has been outrageous over your outrage. Just checking in with you to see how you are. Myself is ok living day by day. I've got some figures coming in from BBTS, standing by for credit card bill from hell. And of course a few days after I ship the lot, George Lucas stormtrooper arrived at BBTS. So I'll get him in about 3 months. Oh well, hope you are well and hopefully see you in Sunday's chat stream. Your friend Tom
@@theperceptor9287 Tom! My faux-outrage knows no limits! Glad you are well and getting some figures. All is good here, thank you. I've embarked upon making a large cantina-style diorama recently. Only the second dio I've ever made. The first was a generic collection of 4 modular builds on a 10 square feet base of tatooine-esqe structures. The new base is larger at about 13 square feet and will keep me out of mischief for a while!
@@DavidEdge69 Your project sounds ambitious I'd like to make a dio or two if I can figure out what I want to do and afford the parts and paint. I do want it to look half decent after all. I'm thinking of Jabba's throne room and or the Imperial Bunker on Endor. Other times I want to do Hoth rebel base and Vader's command deck with the bounty hunters. My dream is to construct the Death Star with Tarken and Vader or the Emperor's throne room. So many ideas so little money and space. I wish you good luck with your efforts David and take care, Tom
@@theperceptor9287 Tom, I loved doing my first one. Your ideas sound great. Honestly, if you do something simple to start with, it doesn't cost anything if you use stuff you have lying around. Wish you were on IG/dischord and I'd send you some photos. I used polystyrene from my TV, 'licked' it with my plumbers torch flame, rubbed some polyfiller (plaster to repair holes) over it, and when it was dry, painted it a hessian colour and weathered with acrylic paint that cost £1 a tube. Never done anything like it before and the result was fantastic.
@@DavidEdge69 Sounds great I've got all kinds of stuff around that I would use when I figure out what I want to make. Definitely thanks for the suggestions David
I think the helmet warping is a result of them being glued to the unpainted head underneath off center. I've seen this on all the figures that have this (stormies, clones, fett). Just another typical Hasbro lack of quality control.
I don't know why they try to force the 212th as a yellow battalion...they are meant to be orange. Cody's armor color does give it a more faded look that introduced like a Honey Mustard Yellow with Orange mix but the 212th is definitively orange. But anyway, I'd love to honestly stick this guy with Commander Bly. The 13th Battalion honestly looks like a subsidiary division of the 327th Star Corps.
I should know this, but do the 13th Battalion Troopers appear anywhere other than the JFO video game? Or were they made up just for the game? I have no memory of seeing them in the animated Clone Wars series or E2 Attack Of The Clones movie….🤷🏻♂️. Great review as always!
