If there's one thing I solidly love about the Clone Wars it's the Battle Packs. And while I haven't been following the Clone Wars TV show and I'm not entirely familiar with their current role in the Saga, the Mandalorian armor has always been a nice design, so a small well armed squad featuring them is more than welcome set.

Pros: You get 4 little Boba and Jango Fett look alikes... now you can have a Jedi hunt!
Cons: Bike is more complex... but that was kind of expected
Comments: I hope they make a few more battle packs like this with diffrent color Mandos - Rook writes:
I recently did a review/alternate build on this set on another
Pros: Loved that TLG finally put out some Mandos. Excellent helmet pieces and guns.

Final Comments: Speeder bike and turret can be easily combined into heavy speederbike. Making this set a fun and easy build.
