    So here's the review of Clone Walker Battlepack.

    Details:
    Price: RM89.90
    Pieces: 72 (RM1.25/piece)
    Minifigs: 4
    Year released: 2009

    Box art:
    Front view:
    The box is made of a better quality cardboard now.They are a little thick compare to the past battle pack. But the box is slightly smaller.


    Side view:


    Back view:


    Content:
    There is this 3 bags of bricks which include the commander gear thing. A sticker sheet and and instruction booklet.


    Instruction booklet:
    There is a brick checklist and a small poster whereby there are AAT and Republic Attack Shuttle.


    Decal:
    So again, the republic logo is a sticker.


    Commando Gear Pack:
    There is one included and is in new color, which is black.



    They fit the normal clone wall.

    Weapons:
    Only three short blaster rifle are given. They expect us to use the pistols in from the commander accessories pack.


    Minifigs:
    Here's all of the minifigs. The Gunner is the new one. They are all my favorites.












    There are not much printing on the normal Clone Troopers, however LEGO still will mess up the printing,little faded or crocket printings on the helmet especially.

    Clone Walker:
    So, this is LEGO own creation for Star Wars Universe. The flick fire functions is still LEGO favorites. Anyway it will drop off quite easy if you flick too hard.
    Front shot:


    Side shot:


    Rear shot:


    Actually LEGO can do better than this, this walker is ugly. So LEGO created the ugliest walker and ugliest speeder bike in both Clone Troopers battle pack.

    Extra parts:
    Here' some extra parts left over.


    Completion:

    Here's the end of it. Kind of like and dislike this set.

    Functions:
    -flick fire missile
    -movable leg

    Pros:
    -four minifigs
    -Clone Gunner
    -new color of commander gear

    Cons:
    -sticker sheet
    -too little piece
    -ugly walker
    -3 blaster rifle
    -no long blaster rifle
    -easily fall off flick fire missiles holder when you flick

    Final verdict:
    Playability: 7/10 As usual, the flick-fire is there.
    Design : 6/10 LEGO made up their own walker again.
    Price : 5/10 Sure it is expensive.
    Overall: 7/10 Good numbers of minifigs.

     Huh? Double priced??? WHy?  Angry Ah Dang, Lion-kun is ok with overhead costs calculated to price, but this is getting absurd.

    Sure is a nice pack for mini-figs if the price was 30 bucks less

    Hmm.. come to think of it, you're quite right, these cute little guys are actually quite well detailed and the helmets are pretty nice too.

    Yea, they give you the black stud as head and the visor are hole, so when attach, you see black as the visor.

    Once TLG print them, they get bad, that's why is hard for me to find a perfect Clone headgear
