So I'm buying the you know what out of these. Great looking figures. The Scarif trooper is listed as the Squad Leader but this is the grunt version (fine by me). The leader has the blue markings.

Not bad looking.

Kinda skimpy on accessories for Scarif trooper

I know those days are gone, but man I wish these were the main line - or at least a VOTC-like sublime that shipped everywhere. Remember those days?  Anyways, I'm not one that necessarily has a problem with the 5 POA stuff, but these (and the Force Awakens ones) just remind you of what Hasbro and the line is capable of. These look great, really like the designs of the new troopers for Rogue One.

Love em. I just hope these are easy to find. Never saw Phasma/Han/Leia, and have yet to see Wave 5.

Yeah.  The Squad Leader is already in the 2-pack with Moroff and has more intricate markings. 



The one in the Walmart exclusive wave does seem more like a standard trooper, despite the name on the package.

I'm actually very glad to see this lineup.  I think it works well.  And I hope there's going to be a second wave of ROGUE ONE figures in this line, too.

Yeah if buy these by the case given the opportunity and like a minimum of 2 cases worth.

I'd love to see the rest of the main cast done this way at least...  Several R1 waves would be nice.

A thing of beauty! These are going to hurt the wallet for sure. I have to start figuring out how many I need to add to my army.

From what we've seen of the Death Troopers in the trailer so far, I get the sense that they're a really small force.  If there are a dozen of them on screen in ROGUE ONE I would be really surprised.  That might at least make army building them a little more economical.

As for the Shoretroopers/Scarif troopers?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Dropping these in here in case they go in stock sometime... (we all know how likely that is, right? :P)

I'm wondering how easy it would be to swap legs on these figures... I'm thinking the Cassian jacket/torso might make a good base for an SA TFA Han, since the TBS TFA Han has the "regular" legs from the movie, and the jacket matches a little closely than the Finn figure does.

I've seen some of the reports of these turning up at Midwestern WalMart stores.  Images would be most welcome!

I just found (and bought) Jyn and the Deathtrooper. However, it was a hybrid case, more like wave 5.5. it contained:

3 Jyns
3 Deathtroopers
2 ERG's
2 Ashoka's
1 Lando
1 Ackbar

I have no idea how to upload a pix and don't have an on-line photo storage account. Sorry fella's.
