I got this set a few weeks ago and just opened it up, and I agree, its a big disappointment. The ARC Trooper is just a bad figure, you can't pose him in too many positions and of course, the pauldrons keep coming off. I might try to just glue them on. This definitely looks better in the box (just like the Target CLONE ATTACK ON CORUSCANT Battle Pack, those gray-detailed Clones were crap on a cracker).
