LEGO Star Wars 2011: The Best Battle Packs

Greetings, Apprentice! Do you desire the power to conquer the Universe? If so, these are the sets you want to get your hands on to build your army. Most of them are cheap. As low as US $10 when released (though some older ones may have gone up in price especially when they are discontinued by LEGO). So you can buy multiple sets and build your army with them. They are really low priced and at a bargain because you normally get at least 4 minifigs with them, and minifigs are more expensive to make than the normal bricks from LEGO. If you can get more than 4, the better.

This hub will let you, at a glance, make a decision as to which sets to are at a great discount and a real bargain, and which sets are not.

Be aware that, for most of these sets, the vehicle, if you like it - keep multiples of it. If not, you can always scavenge them for parts, as quite a lot of them actually come with very good parts.

Also note that I had made no attempt to separate battle packs from different episodes as I assume that you are familiar with the Star Wars trilogy. If not, then be warned that while Imperial Snowtroopers from set 8084 (Ep V) can fight Republic Clone Troopers from set 8014 (Ep III), they are really from different eras, and shouldn't be sharing the same moment in time. But that's if you care about being movie accurate. If not, just battle away. They are build for a good firefight anyway. :)

For items that are marked as discontinued, you will still be able to buy online - stock permitting - whether on eBay or on Amazon. It's just that their price will likely to have gone up or is going to go up soon the more removed they are from their year of release, as they will now have collectible status.

Also note that most of these sets are supposed to do well - especially at Amazon bestsellers chart come Christmas 2010 as people look for affordable toys to buy for the holiday season. So get yours early, don't let yourself be disappointed by price increase later due especially to sellers increasing the prices.
