Just an FYI, this figure has been marked down at my local Wally.  All VC figures were rolled back to $9.95.

Don't let Rob know.

Naturally, I got my six at $13 or above...

I haven’t seen a sniff of these again since I found them a couple weeks back.  Kept hoping for more.😕 Glad I got off my ass and did a toy run that day.

Honestly I didn't pay close enough attention to them to know that.  I generally just buy six of most troops, other than regular stormtroopers where there's no such thing as too many... maybe I should sell four of them though...

There were more in the trench sequences.  Didn’t notice any offhand in the battle sequences though.

The two Muftak procured for me arrived yesterday!  Long story short, I love this version of the stormtrooper!  The lack of holster kind of bugs me, but it's movie accurate.  Also, the helmet seems kind of odd, the forehead is raised a bit to the point it makes a ridge at the top of the helmet.  Almost like it's supposed to be a visor.

It is a "processing dome for enhanced targeting sensors" helmet attachment according to the visual dictionary book for Solo. ;)

Picked up two of these at walmart a couple of days ago. They were the only new figures they had.

Better late than never I guess but Walmart has put the Mimban Troopers out here and some on discount even.

Hooray!  I picked up 4 for $9.97 tonight so that was cool.  That particular store supposedly has an assload of them in the back too so now we wait.

Another store I was at had a ton out at full price.

Was on a travel job a bit North of LA nd actually found several of these on the pegs. I couldn't believe it.

Never saw them on the pegs, but I have a good little group of 5. I'd buy more if I saw them in stores though...solid figure.
