Was the stormtrooper 2 pack a tough find??
I ran across 3 of them in my travels the other day but decided to leave them, but once i got home i looked at my scout trooper and decided i needed atleast one of them so i went back and picked one up.

The Stormies seem to be the toughest one to find.  I've yet to see one.

Agreed.  The GH line is one of the few that I've seen nearly every figure on the shelf, except for the Stormtroopers.

Rebelscum has some images up taken from the cardbacks of some rehashed GH figures (now in ROTS packaging), and there are pics of the upcoming (rumored) Galactic Heroes sets from ROTS...and the good news, it doesn't look like they are rehashes for the most part.

Kit Fisto and Mace Windu

I think the Mace is a rehash, but I can deal with it.

The Chewie / clonetrooper set I like the best, not that all of them aren't going to be bought for me my son.

Dammit, that Kit looks cute cool!  ARGH...  I refuse to buy the Prequel GH figures.  REFUSE.  REFUSE.  REFUSE!  But they're calling to me, and it's getting harder to refrain...      (do I sound like Pooky?  )

Interesting to see that they're repackaging the older OT figures in the ROTS packaging now.  Fortunately, I'm an opener of these, so that doesn't affect me (for once).

As for the Stormtroopers, yeah, they're probably the scarcest, but I've definitely seen a ton of them around my parts here...

[Brian]

Yeah, I thought the Mace might be too, but I never did pick up the original set so I wasn't sure.  The others look like new versions though, so I'm pretty happy with that.  The Chewie/Clone set is my favorite as well Mikey, can't wait for that one.  Speaking of the clone, we seem to be seeing a lot of this blue version through media, posters, and now the GH....I wonder if we'll get a figure from Hasbro in this flavor?  Anyways, glad to see a few more GH sets coming our way, wonder when they'll be out...maybe June/July-ish?

[Jeff]

wonder when they'll be out...maybe June/July-ish?

When they first popped up at the cargo bay earlier this month, it was saying May, so I bet they'll show up in late May, but I guess it all depends on how fast the first batch of RotS figures sell out. 

I like the fact that the R2 is a bit differnt, at least the "flying" action makes him unique.  Mace does look a lot like the one that came with the Reek, we'll have to see if he's the same or not.  I like the Ep3 Clone, but I kinda wish he was coming with someone else since I've already got a Chewie...

I got my new Entertainment Earth catalog in the mail today, and on the Galactic Heroes page it has the new "Dune Buggy/X-Wing" transformer.  I **** you not.

It has the Luke Pilot figure, and it transforms back and forth between an actual 4-wheeled Dune Buggy (with roll bars and everything), and an "X-Wing", though the ship looks nothing like an actual X-Wing.

Pretty damned lame, and I can't even imagine who the hell though this one up, and why...

Oh wait.  'Cause these are supposedly for the "kids" out there.  Duh!  I guess in that case, it's kinda nifty for them.  Just lame for the "kids" collecting parents, to get a transforming vehicle, neither of which transformation remotely resembles anything in the Star Wars saga...

[Mikey D]

So you buying two or not, Matt?

[DSJ™]

A Dune Buggy/X-Wing thingamajig! WTF. Well ya gotta have it Matt.
