[REVIEW] 8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack

Here is my review of the Rebel Trooper Battle Pack.

The front of the Box:

The Back of the Box:

Image

The box contains two bags, and the instructions. There are no stickers.

Image

The front of the instruction book:

Image

And a random page from the instructions:

Image

The minifigs: This set contains four figures. A Rebel Officer, the twin rebel soldiers, and an X-Wing Pilot (?) named Zev Senesca. Why they included an X-Wing Pilot instead of another soldier I don't know. The Imperial battle pack contains an At-At driver so I guess they thought it would be a good idea. The helmets for the troopers and officer are new, the same (I think) as the ones in the Echo Base set. Zev has an orange band across his face to simulate a helmet face screen, and it looks good. His helmet is also a new design, as I believe is the torso.

Image

Only Zev has any printing on his back, but the others get a nice white back pack.

Image

The following are pictures from the build of the included vehicle, which I don't remember seeing in Empire, but whatever. It is a nice simple build, with no real difficulty. The flick fire missiles don't really go very far, but since I hate flick fires anyway, no big deal.

Image

The extra pieces(sorry its blurry): An extra helmet visor, a white cheese slope and a red 1x1 circular tile.

Image

And the final product complete with figures.

Image

Overall, this set is good for what it is, a battle pack. The figures are good, and the vehicle, if not movie accurate, at least is something you could play with if you were so inclined, as opposed to what the Imperials got to go along with their speeder.

I give this set a 7/10.

Thanks for the review.


I think the little icon in the instructions is awesome. 'Don't throw this in someone's face'
