I'm a huge fan of attacktix, so I too was excited to order the battle case. However, the rules included for the capture the flag game seem incomplete and you will find yourself having to make up all sorts of house rules to make a smooth gameplay. The turret the case comes with has no instructions at all, so you have to make up what you'll do with it. Also, while the promo pictures have you believe the case is painted, it is NOT. It is all black plastic. Because of the unfilled, unpainted grooves on the surface of the case, it's even hard to move your figures to make the important 'tix'.

Some good things:
-the figures snap inside the case very well. In fact, my stored figures look just like the promo pictures.
-the clone trooper it comes with is an excellent additional figure with a great special power. He's also green and very cool! Probably the best clone trooper available for the game.
-if you have more than one battle case gameplay is much more fun (although expensive!)

This case was impossible to find in stores. I was so happy when I found it on amazon... however, I was disappointed when I received it. I enjoy playing the game with my 5 year old son and this did not increase my enjoyment of the game. In order to effectively use these for game play, you would need to purchase at least two for each person. You could buy a lot more figures for that price. Some of the figures are too tall to display with another figure above them. It would take about 4 cases to display a complete set of figures.

The price of this item was a little high for what you get. The case was flimsey. The darts fall out of the storage area when you carry it. The double shot cannon has no value/use in the game. You have to have aleast two cases to use the stands that come with it. These extra parts just drive the cost up and have no real purpose in the context of the game.

While this item was wildly overpriced when it first came out and suffers from serious design flaws, it is a must buy at 4 dollars.

It comes with an excellant clone character.

It adds a new dimemsion to Attacktix, capture the flag game.

For me and my son (5) it inspired all sorts of arena building.

You get an extra gun to use as you see fit (no rules).

The display/storage function works well.

Negative are the poor design. the pieces don't stack as they should so we are constantly repositioning the cases. The plastic is very slick and rolling figures sometimes don't click.

Bottom line a good buy at 4 dollars. I would suggest getting 3 or more as they are stackable and you can arrange them in a pyramid arraingement. (BTW, they do not lock together next to each other which I believe is another flaw.)

PS Looks like the price is back up to 21 dollars. Save your money. Not worth it.

I bought two cases and I enjoy them. I can fit Darth Sidious(S2), Darth Maul(S2), 3 Royal Guards(S2), 5 Jedi Knights(S2), Mace Windu(S2 starter), and Obi-wan Kenobi(S3) in one case. But I have to put Sidious, Maul, and Obi-Wan at the bottom.

I have a few figures that don't fit but the majority do.(I have about 50 figures.)

And sometimes I put the figure in backwards or with shooters I stick their weapon between the figures above.

I have problems with the "tix" sometimes but I usually just guess how many, if I know I can make it with some to spare, and then move the wheel with my finger.

Overall I find the battle case to be an exellent addition to the battle field as it adds new ways to play.

My problems with this toy are;
* That it is expensive and not practical.
* There are a lot of figures that do not fit in a way to allow the case to close and some with lightsabres do not allow four across
* The turrent seems to be only good for extra missles for the other figures
* Gameplay with this does not work well any way I tried it

Things I like about it;
* Figure is cool with good power
* Concept is good and if I bought about 10 it would hold my sons figures

Get it on clearance as it is $19.99 locally for me

Love the game - hate the case

The Battle Case not only makes for good storage, but my children have enjoyed using the fortress side as part of their games. It is however, more fun if you have two or more cases.

I am a Star Wars Fanatic

This case for Attactix usually falls down and is not painted. You can probaly only fit figures that don't have lightsabers in it. But, everything else is good about it. Attactix is fun and I am glad I recieved the figure with it. I really liked the case and provides good storage for your ATTACTIX figures. Buy it if you don't want to lose your Attactix Battle Figures. The rest is fun.

We love Attactix. Our children love Attactix, so they were pretty excited about getting two battle cases for their birthdays. It was flimsy and was poorly constructed. It couldn't hold hardly any of our figures as they are too large to fit properly inside it. We returned both cases immediately and bought more figures and a rubbermaid storage box.
