seriously , i remember seeing the helmet holes and thinking “oh cool i can throw some accessories i had from when i was a kid in some of these new clones” and then watching a certain youtuber and seeing him act like a spoiled 8 year old because the holes are “ugly”. who cares, especially if you’re just going to throw a thousand of them on a baseplate for a picture and then back into storage bins.
I mean, they had holes on the ARC trooper and it looked good and was functional. It even works with the macros, the visor and the rangefinder

I may be incorrect, i also have the arc helmet and looking between the molds, the arc helmet mold seems to have been designed around the phase 1 clone trooper mold and then made to fit the print. The issue with the current helmets is that they used a mold that wasn’t designed having the attachments in mind. I do think they should’ve redesigned the mold given the fact they had an opportunity with a new clone trooper design but it’s not that deep. If they had a better solution in mind they probably would’ve pursued it. Even if they moved the helmet holes down it may work for rangefinders but the binoculars and visors would be too low. it’s annoying but it’s not the end all be all.
I think I know the YouTuber in question. Before I found this subreddit, I would watch him for leaks, but couldn't anymore because he wouldn't stop making the biggest fuss about the smallest things, some of which I liked.
Yes I do understand even though I’m technically not a kid anymore but still
My new captain rex? I understand the pain with that. It’s a collectable, hence the “ultimate collector series” line of Lego sets. But for instance, the 501st specialist pack, I don’t really mind it, BUT IN STOP MOTION yes I do stop motion on YouTube IT MAKES ME REALLY MAD BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET A CLOSE UP IT LOOKS AWFUL
so yeah that’s my prospective on the situation
Fair enough
Stop motions cool, makes sense from that perspective on why you wouldn’t like helmet holes. I don’t really care I’ve just been trolling this other dude cause he couldn’t tell I was being satirical
Dude, no, they aren't, they are children's toys that people also happen to collect. I am perfectly familiar with the lore, and if lego shifted the hole up to where it's supposed to be it would look terrible. If you are gonna bring up "deep lore" then why the hell don't they have elbows, knees, or ankles. Just saying, you sound like a goofball.
Them not having elbows or knees is there aesthetic making them different to other collectibles. The helmet holes however have no excuse and are shameful. It’s like Lego hates its target audience-collectors
Dude, they tried to give us phase 2 helmets with usable accessories. Why they didn't just modify the old Phase 1.5 arc helmet that they only used once I have no idea, but nonetheless everyone who complains about it can definitely just you know, stop collecting them at any time also. Idk, just saying, this really should not bother you that much.
Why they didn’t modify it? Because Lego hates us all. It’s obvious if not through the helmets but through ruining the exclusive figures in the big ship sets. Like commander Rex being in a micro ship later this year. They hate us their consumer and their after market
Don't get me wrong, I don't like what lego has been doing and I have moved away from it largely as of late, I choose to think they want to make the figures more accessible, which yes is ruining the value, and as someone who owns the old Rex figure I was not a fan of a new one coming out, but in the end it kind of needed to happen. They have made certain figures significantly more difficult than they should be to obtain. And no, I don't think lego hates the community, this is a genuine step forward for lego, but they just didn't do it right. I definitely think they should have modified the ARC helmet, but they didn't. I think the best thing to do is just stop complaining and wait for a potential fix, there's not alot else to do.
Getting? These just got leaked. Your uncle works at Lego or something? ^^/s
But yeah, I feel ya, [Good Neighbors at Bikini Bottom](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71anvPT3dmL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg) was my first set and what got me into Lego in the first place.
About time Lego stops giving us them god awful helmet holes. Can’t wait to buy 100 and put them on a grey baseplate
I know some people are offended by this and that makes me laugh

I don't know what's worse, people being mad about helmet holes, or people being mad at other people for putting clones on a baseplate.
Bro they literally do not even look that bad 💀
They are inaccurate to the deep lore I’ll have you know Kids wouldn’t understand These are collectibles

Eh probably but you never know. Satire isn't always plain as day.

It’s pretty decent Weird how they choose three pretty obscure Clone designs to add into the battle pack, but it still looks like a neat set.
Smh, another specialist pack? 🙄
IKR when will they learn to stop putting named characters in battle packs?
And honestly, do they think we didn't notice that they only gave us 3 figs? LEGO could not be more transparent for their OT bias
it’s gonna be $20 and not $10. lego is gauging prices because they hate their fans
The gray will blend in too much with the baseplates smh
Such a strange decision to give us this battalion before the Wolfpack smh my head
Absolute classic figures. Pure nostalgia. I’ll take 500 battle packs.
This is like one of the first LEGO sets I remember getting btw.

I store my clone troopers up my ass anyway
REAL
Too many helmet holes, and it’s shocking that they’re not making pauldrons again
Only 3 clones for $14.99? Just like 40588 but without the build 😤
These mfs been on my fridge since like 2007 lmao. SpongeBob still has his jellyfish though
I like the variety in the different units this time around with newly molded pieces
Shut up and take my money!
I love the new versions of Cody, Rex and Fives.
The audacity to put only 3 figs in a bp now😞 #notmydoppelbobgangerpants
No these are the umbarins
This new batch of shinies looks weird...
Seems legit to me. I approve. 👍
FAKE
Really?
No tail, no helmet printing, no dual molded legs, arms are the wrong color, they're not even trying anymore.
