Clicky
Looks like a really sharp deco. :)

Yeah, that's awesome! Opener worthy for sure. Man, how sweet would it be if they did Admiral Trench?
Or maybe the Stealth Ship in the midsize line?
-
It would be great to see them develop this arc some more. Trench would be a jem! So would the stealth pilot. You could put me down for a stealth ship right now, but I think we would see a Twilight before the stealth ship. And the forecast for that is, for whatever reason, not good.
-
So the TRU Exclusive Stealth Ops Clone Trooper is apparently hitting shelves now up in Canada. Hopefully he will start to make an appearance stateside soon. I definitely want at least 2 of these, although it irks me that they don't actually refer to him by name on the package.
-
Up for pre-order at TRU.com (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10982159)

....although it irks me that they don't actually refer to him by name on the package.
I wonder if it's not to save on trademarking.

Maybe it's to subliminally urge people to squad build him since he's given a generic designation. :P

I watched that episode again last night, and not only is he not named in the credits, I'll be damned if I caught his name anywhere in the actual episode either. I could have missed it, but struck me as odd.

Maybe, but at $13 per figure (I assume, maybe it's $15 now)...I won't get him at all unless they do a freebie promotion like the last TRU exclusives (Though, I never got them when they did that promo, either.)
-
$13? He's $7.99
-
Yeah that scared me for a moment... :)
$7.99 is great, especially for an exclusive. I was shocked.
-
It will go up in price 3 weeks after it is released - per TRU standard operating procedure. :P
-
I think it's greedy and stupid that they refuse to clearance out the Nikto Guard or Kul Teska. You still have 2 TCW exclusives loitering on the pegs and now you're going to add a third?
Kul Teska in particular kills me, this thing is huge and takes up valuable real estate. And I really want one for openers but not at the ridiculous price they're at now. Drop that thing down to $5 and watch 'em fly off the shelves.
I agree that odds seem really slim Blackout will stay at $7.99 for very long. That's cheaper than their regular Clone Wars figs.
-
The time TRU clearances anything is usually "waaay past anyone giving a damn". They hung onto Trek and Terminator Salvation stuff longer than anyone, and still have the stuff lingering at clearance.
-
I ordered 2 of these from TRU.com. I still had 2 jedi turbo speeders in the cart, from a previous non-order, so I grabbed another small item to get the free shipping. They processed the order THEN sent a message saying the speeders were out of stock and that I Would be charged $12 shipping. I sent a message to complain and they gave me free shipping on the two Blackouts and a minimate 2-pack. Not bad.
-
I see the expected ship date is mid-August, sheesh. Pretty sure I will find on one the pegs before then. If not, I can wait it out.
-
That's really only a few weeks away at this point. I just wanted to lock in the $8 price before TRU ups it to $12. :P
-
Guess he's hitting TRU too everywhere. I heard from a friend locally that he saw this at a Pittsburgh store and I see Jeff got one too.
-
Yep, I picked one up today. Nice looking repaint. He'll pair up nicely with the upcoming basic Stealth trooper figure. And, since he was just $8, he's actually cheaper than some of the other regular price Clone Wars Troopers at TRU. :P
-
Yeah, how in the world is he cheaper? Unbelievable. :)
-
Isnt he going to be part of a promo like the other basic figure exclusives from TRU? I prefer free with purchase. ;D

Assuming TRU has any left AND you can find something else you want for $25. The best deal I've seen yet is Dan getting two of these at the 2 for $10.99 sale.
-
Well, I remember for other promos (like Commander Ponds), they held back cases for the sale event - but I cant seem to find any info on the web if these are going to be part of a future promo...
