Looks like it's a 4-pack of ROTS troopers - they started teasing it today and will put it up for pre-order on Saturday, 10/1.

Nice, I should probably wait to pick this up cheaper down the line, but depends on how exciting a line up we have here.

Up for Pre-Order now -

I really want to like this set, but meh. I already have the shocktrooper from WM and he's the best of the four.
-
I'm a bit more irked at the price tag for 4 x of the exact same figure for a total of $100! This isn't 4 distinct sculpts. This is the phase 2 Clone Trooper with 4 x different paint jobs.
I can totally understand some of the confusion about the Shocktrooper, too. The Walmart exclusive Battlefront Shocktrooper just came out last year and was a complete PITA to get. It absolutely would have been nice to see it get reissued. But that character was a creation of the Battlefront game, and was an Imperial Stormtrooper with the red Shocktrooper markings like we saw in ROTS. And THIS Shocktrooper is a phase II Clone repaint. But the markings are so similar between the two that I can see the cause for some of the confusion.

These are nice, but I think I'm gonna pass.

This set is going to have to drop to around $55 for me to bite.
I've done my mini-rant on 6" repaints before... I just don't have room to grab minor variations and uninteresting redecos in the 6" line. My wallet (and shelves) can handle a lot more of this in the 3.75" line, but it just doesn't make as much sense in the 6" line.

I spotted this set on Amazon for $91.99 with Prime shipping. Not that much of a discount, but it's worth continuing to watch.

Got a notice that the price on this is now $99.99 after surging up to $145 for a while there. I'm still thinking we'll get a window of heavy clearance eventually, the set is growing on me a little.

$71.99 was as low as I ever saw it go on Amazon, but I am holding out too. The fact that I have little enthusiasm for this set helps make the waiting game easier. $60 feels about right to me.

Been waiting this thing out for over a year now...this is my #1 target for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, assuming it finally goes on sale. Come on, Amazon!

***EDITED AFTER THE FACT - What Jeff Said!
Was just coming in here to let you all know the same (but with a JD referral linky #ad)
$39.99 is a great deal for the 6" Order66 Clone 4-pack (https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HSC0495&id=JE-405087801).
Please keep our links in mind. We don't have many sponsors left and every little bit helps to keep the lights on around here. ;)

Thanks guys! I placed my order from here today without hesitation. That was the deal I have been waiting on all these months...glad my patience paid off. :)
Now I gotta find something else to stalk on BF...
-
Done (via link)! Thanks for the heads up. A very nice price indeed.
-
I've bad mouthed this set for years. Well, for $40 I now think its awesome and bought it (via JD affiliate link).
-
It's a steal for $40. If I had the space and the inclination, I'd be buying doubles.
