2022 TVC Troop Builder Shoretrooper 4-Pack

[Nicklab]

Well done, Hasbro.  I'll give credit where it is due.

[Jeff]

Ooh... now this is a really nice set - LOVE that they are finally giving us TVC quality Shoretrooper Captain and Squad Leaders.  A+

Up for pre-order at 4pm ET today!

Ha, I was just looking at my three Shoretroopers yesterday and thinking to myself that they looked lonely, and that I wished they made more of the officers.

Count me in for a few of these.

Are we expecting these to be HasbroPulse and Disney Store exclusives again?

[Nicklab]

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Hasbro made both the Captain and the Squad Leader for this set, along with including the two Shoretroopers.  I had been hoping for a set like this.  And the timing is even kind of cool, since yesterday was the 5th anniversary of the theatrical release of Rogue One.

From the Press Release..
During the height of the Empire, coastal defense shoretroopers would patrol the Imperial military headquarters on Scarif. Collect your own battalion with the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Shoretrooper Pack! Pre-order today at 4:00pm ET on #HasbroPulse and @shopdisney!

Nice set.  Well done Hasbro!

[Jeff]

Wondering about the price and if these will still be $42?

I know this set is 2 repacks, 1 repaint, and 1 new kitbash, but the fact that you can get 4x figures here for less than the cost of 2x new TVC DLX Boba Fett really highlights how painful that $26+ for Fett was.

Yeah, Hasbro is getting it right with the 4-packs of repack/repaint/kitbash troopers.  Simple packaging and a reasonable price.

Not so much on the Deluxe packs...

You forget there's always a markup for Boba Fett.  Been that way since 1979.

Not so!

I got my first one for free. That's how they hooked ya back then!

As far as the Shore troopers, I am happy for those who want them, and I applaud the timing to coincide with the Rogue One Anniversary. I do not need these for myself though. If the next reveal that pairs up with this set is a Mon Cal 4-pack of repainted Admiral Ackbars in salmon, aqua, and white skintone varieties--I would bite on that one!

I'm in for two of these sets.  I love me some Shoretroopers.

bull****.  The first Boba Fell cost four proof of purchases from other figures plus shipping and handling.  Arguably the most expensive figure of the time!

Pre-Orders are up on Hasbro Pulse. I just grabbed my two sets.

I also noticed Pulse has the regular Stormtroopers back in stock! So I grabbed two of those as well!
