Update: Republic Troopers Battle Pack Variant
In an update to our 6-14 report, I ran into this variant over the weekend and the revised name not only affects this piece but its cross-sell case mates as well as the naming has been revised on the cardbacks for the Rebel Heroes and Geonosis Arena Battle Battle Packs too.
Republic Troopers Battle Pack Variant
In an odd move, Hasbro has issued a packaging variant for the Republic Troopers Battle Pack. The revised bubble insert now calls this the “Republic Clone Troopers” Battle Pack. The listing and packaged image has been updated on HasbroToyShop as well. You can check out the original packaged shot by browsing our Toyguide.

Movie Heroes Bespin Luke Loose Shots
Our friends at JediDefender have alerted us to some new loose shots of the Luke Skywalker from the upcoming Bespin Duel Battle Pack. As reported before, this figure takes a minimalist approach to the articulation which has become a huge subject of debate since its initial revelation at Toy Fair 2012.

Toyguide Update: Royal Starship Droids (Walmart Exc.)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Royal Starship Droids Battle Pack (2 of 2) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: Walmart picks up a great exclusive here. Anything astromech related has a huge following in the collecting community as demonstrated by their steady sell through at retail. The deco on all of the droids is great making these the most accurate versions to date. As a bonus, these figures use the B.A.D. sculpt which promotes a ton of customizing options and additional play value. R2-N3 (the green one) gets a debut here and each droid includes their power harness/docking stations – all of which act as a huge accessory set to the Naboo Royal Starship/Playset from 1999.
CONS: Some may not like the Build-A-Droid/Droid Factory play system. Initially difficult to find but the set is now shipping in greater quantity. Since there is only one new figure (by name) in this set collectors might feel obligated to pick this up by that reason alone.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

New Bespin & Naboo Battle Pack Images
New intel gathered by Sandtroopers.com has revealed new images of those controverial battle pack revealed at Toy Fair 2012. Head on over to check out the new packaged and loose shots of the Bespin and Naboo Battle Packs!
I may be in the minority here, but even though these are a step backward in terms of articulation, I still really like these figures. If only the drop in POA would equal a drop in price too. : (
