Normal places. 

And at $14.99 my army building days might be over.

The figure looks really sharp. I'd be down for a small squad. At old VC prices, I wouldn't have hesitated to say I'd wanted at least 10-20, I love this trooper design... But at $14.99? No thanks, I'm planning on only picking up 2-4 at most. I'll probably on preorder 1, and then see if I ever find this at retail (I won't) before picking up any extras.

Exactly that for me too.  I've typically tried to get 6 of a given troop (more for stormtroopers).  But at $15, it's going to be more like 4.  At some point I'd rather put the dollars elsewhere.

Hopefully they can keep the Trooper Builder 4-pack line less than $45 for 4.  With this new body, there are a plethora of repacks/resculpts they can do (I loved this idea that BanthaSkull had posted a while back - pic below).

I'd be up for recycling this sculpt to give us a Troop Builder 4-Pack for the Imperial Juggernaugt Pilot / Solo Mudtroopers, and then basic carded figures for Mayfeld (Morak) and TVC Mudtrooper Han (GIVE US MORE TVC HAN FIGURES YOU COWARDS #endrant).

This would be a no-brainer.  I'd buy them.

If those troop builder packs stay the same price, that's going to be the only way to sustainably army build. That's a great graphic (I love the "Brown Eyes" name  :P )

It seems like a total no brainer to do those packs. In some other thread I think had proposed something similar. I've loved those packs so far, and feel that even though they are a bit pricey compared to 2010 prices, they feel fairly priced at $40-$45. If that starts creeping up higher though, Hasbro will lose me on multiples of those.

He's live on Pulse... I haven't found him on Amazon or Target yet...

I ended up pre-ordering 2 of him from Pulse. $6.99 for shipping a shingle figure feels ridiculous after getting so used to free shipping with Amazon Prime, so I ended up adding a second to the cart.

After Dave posted the Amazon link I ended up cancelling my Pulse preorder and saving $10 with Amazon (through the JD affiliate link of course. :) ) The figure is "only" $13.99 on Amazon.

I ordered 2 cases worth of the wave via EE. Not what I would have preferred to do, but with 6 figures in an 8 figure case it’s complicated.

Well you haven't convinced me you are not.

Star Wars The Vintage Collection Action Figures Wave 11 Case of 8

There's a $15 off coupon code at EE that you can use on orders over $99.  The case sells for $109.99

Use 2103212 at checkout.

Ordering the 2 cases with that code plus super saver shipping, each figure costs $13.66.

I am not super-enthused about buying a case blind.  But I have the option to cancel if I choose to do so.

Love the discount coupon. Thanks. I ordered a case from EE. I will order a couple of the figures from Amazon also in the event I don't like case pack-out and wind up canceling the EE pre-order.

Big ups to Dave on the link as well for Amazon.  Ordered 8 extras and with my EE case that’ll be it for me (for now).

I too am hoping for an army building pack of sorts, for Imperial Army grunts.

Awesome, thanks for the code!  Even without it, the figures are only about $15 shipped.  Pretty sure I will want everything else in the case unless they're repacks.  Only two doubles in the case including Din and I'd want two of that one anyway, so this is a big win.
