2024 TVC Troop Builder X-Wing Pilot 4-Pack

Announced via pipeline reveal at today's Hasbro Star Wars livestream...

2024 X-Wing Pilot Troop Builder 4-Pack

I wonder if this set is four generic pilots or if it will be like the Imperial Officer/Hoth Trooper sets where there was two generic and two 'named' figures. 

So many possibilities...  Carson Teva?  Trapper Wolf?  Some of the Rogue One pilots?

The word "grunts" was used in the stream, I think to specifically address the complaints about the Tusken Chief and Enoch in recent sets.

I think the "grunts" concept gets back to the origins of the troop builder 4-pack concept.  There's been a good 4 sets within the past year+ that have had named characters that a good number of people thought should have been released on their own cardback.

I'm curious to see how they execute this.  Will the pilots just be in the orange flightsuits?  Or will there be a mix, incorporating the blue flightsuits that were seen in ROGUE ONE?  But then the photo that was used in the pipeline reveal has the pilots wearing their cold weather / snowspeeder pilot gear.  Because we all love to nitpick!

With the image shown, are we getting them in Hoth gear?

Like assless orange flight suits, or what are you thinking?   ;D

I've always thought the snowspeeder pilot cold-weather-gear was a bit funny. I'm pretty sure Hoth is still warmer than space, and a regular flightsuit should be plenty warm enough...
