Nice figure though... Comes with the aircraft MG, something Hasbro's yet to make... That's sort neat unto itself.

I like it - it looks like more than just their STormie with a shoulder pad and backpack. It's up for consideration if it's around $60, otherwise I'll pass.

Considering the basic stormtrooper is already $90, I wouldn't expect the Sandtrooper to be less.
Any ideas on the exclusive accessory? Maybe the "look sir, droids" ring or the staff used while riding the dewback.

How about an escape pod as the exclusive. ;D

If they can do the Ark for Toht then the escape pod seems to be a reasonable option. :D

That's what I figured, but I'm trying to be more optimistic in 2009. ;D
Speaking of which, maybe the exclusive is the little flying imperial droid that came witht he POTF2 version?

That's a great idea! I hope you're right.

I like it but will wait to see the price......

I am hoping they include different colored pauldrons, but undoubtedly they know people will plunk down another $110 plus for a variant or two or three. I pretty much have to get a Sandtrooper. I love those things and would probably buy any variant. It's going to be an expensive year with SS I fear. I am just waiting for them to drop a Boba and Jango on us along with the Clone Commanders and troopers.

It does look nice but I'm still limiting myself to what I want, yeah cut backs. :P

Sweet looking figure, but very pricey.
-
Not much of an exclusive.
-
True, but it's one helluva a nice looking figure. I am just scared to see what their final price will be. I will have to buy their orange pauldron version whenever they release that. Then they will release the black one and get more of my mula.

It's a very nice figure, but $109? No thanks. I can't believe the exclusive sold out already at that price. ::)

Good sculpt. This sandtrooper shows a variation I want to see someday in Hasbro 3 3/4, this soldier with shoulder pouches, the precedent version featured chest pouches. I think this is a challenge for arm articulation.
Sandtrooper´s armor presents multiple possibilities of sculpt, I hope Hasbro keep this in mind for a future 3 3/4 action figure.

I am really happy with this one...now, if we could just get a Biker scout and/or Snow trooper
