I found five more Sandtroopers last night bringing me to a total of 21 (And one additional trooper that has been customized.)

I've noticed a few of my troopers have rather loose torso joints, has anyone else noticed this?

Yes...I was able to get 2 throgh the forums and one has very loose joints in the knees and hips. I guess he wasn't as battle-ready as the Empire wanted him to be. ;)

I'd be curious to see if the yellow plague affects these new troopers as fast as the older ones.

I picked up two more last friday.  I think I've got 8 total now.

A LOT of these...  :)  I haven't done a recent headcount but I keep buying them as I see them basically.  I've passed on some but not many.  I have a friend with a handful (3 I think) he's holding for me and I just got another one tonight...  I think I may be up near 20?  I'm not sure.

I love it though, it's one of the best of '06 so far IMO.  :)  I love the removable thermal detonator, the pike, etc...  And SA...  I love it.  I just wish more figures were like this is all.  I'll buy more if I see them too, it's too good to pass up.

Jesse, I'm with you one this.  I can't pass one up if I see it.  However, even with that, I'm only up to about 9 now.

Yeah you will! I have them packed up and ready to go  ;D

I saw about 1/2 a dozen more at a local TRU today- I left them, but it was tempting...

Quite a few of my Sandtroopers have the same "bronze" paint on them.

Yes, the back pack. My mistake.  ;)

I tried the goof off. It sure is an effective paint remover, and I had a really hard time cleaning next to the black without pulling that off too (I had to do some touch up).
I sure hope the eventual re-release of the VOTC stormtrooper does not have some ewok poo on it or some other such nonsense.

The dirt's AOK by me because the Sandtroopers, to me, just look like troops that have been out in the field a while...  Muck and mud more than sand and stuff.  I'm ok with it in that regard so I won't be removing the damage...  I figure they'll just go into outdoors dioramas.  Field Stormtroopers probably get dirty no matter what planet they're on. ;)

The figure's fantastic though when you think about the value you get...  Hasbro really did up the anty on this one.  New equipment, a pike you didn't really need, a removable bomb you didn't need...  This really is a top-notch figure but Hasbro did a little better for the fans even.

Not often that happens in the line so I'm enjoying it by buying as many of these as I can.  Love this figure.
