8015 - Assassin Droid Battle Pack Review

Another place holder!

The 8015 Assassin Droid Battle Pack could have gone to a little bit better length to make a solid kit. Given the number of different droid in the CW series, the CN series, and the movies, I think it would have been better to make a better selection of droid for this set. The figures are standard battle droid bodies in new colors with element built heads, which is good. There are just too many of them. TLG could have made a Lancer droid, and change the vehhicle to a speeder bike a la the CN series. A tactical droid could have been added, which has been seen a few times. Commando droid from the "Rookies" episode would have been nice and would have only required a color change. I know the set is "Assassin Droids", but I think the spot it hold in the lineup could have been made better by using some variety.

I still don't understand this set... why would assassins go into battle?!

Furthermore, how good could they really be if they were so easily trapped in a box like this?
