Since The Clone Wars line started back in 2008, there have been a number of releases, mainly 2-packs and primarily Walmart exclusives, that have also included a bonus DVD. Starting with a set of three that featured six characters from the Malevolence story-arc from season 1 that were released in 2010, these were followed by Weapons Factory and Landing at Point Rain in 2011. A further two-sets, Legacy of Terror and Brain Invaders, were announced as a Walmart exclusive at San Diego Comic Con in July, 2011, with an anticipated on-shelf date of August of that year. Unlike the previous waves of DVD 2-packs however, these would not comprise straight repacks.
August came and went and the sets failed to materialise in the US as expected, amid reports that they had been cancelled, so it was something of a surprise when they appeared in several discount chains in March 2012, and at a lower price than would have been the case had Walmart sold them.

About This Set
- The original Obi-Wan figure from 2008 has been rolled out once again, meaning that there is no articulation in the knees or ankles. This time around the figure was repainted, and is an improvement featuring tighter details on the eyes and a beard coloured darker than the figures hair. But let's face it, you won't be buying this set for Obi-Wan, even a repainted one. What will be of most interest to collectors is the 212th Battalion Clone Trooper, thought to be Gearshift, but referred to as plain old Clone Trooper on the packaging, who comes complete with new tooling on the helmet, giving him side headlights. Other than that, the figure is much like previous releases of the 212th Battalion Clone Troopers, including ankle and knee articulation.
