I left behind a couple of painted knee 3POs the other day in Fargo.  Oops. :-\

Only thing I bought was a removable helmet 501st and as I was removing it the leg popped off >:(  I managed to re-attach it, but the quality on that figure purely sucks, his legs are very, very loose. 

Question, is the helmet on the re-release shock trooper removable?

Not that I know of, but I personally don't have one I guess.  I actually saw a couple (for the first time) today at Target, and wanted to pick one up, but left it behind after finding the DSG earlier, as well as a couple SMC figures at Target.  I'm supposed to be tightening up the spending, so I didn't figure the wife would be thrilled with me coming home with a $6.99 figure that I already have four of :).  I might pick one up eventually if I get the chance though.  Anyways - I haven't heard of the helmet being removable, and I thought it was actually the same as the initial release (#6 sculpt) - but I could be mistaken.

The first clone of the year (excluding the SITS clones)! Guess where? Walgreens!
It was a 501st Trooper, there was also another 501st,AT-TE Gunner & Mos Eisley Han.

I'm surprised.

It is the original #6 release.  Although the pic on back of the card shows the #41 repaint.

That sort of sucky for Hasbro to do that. Maybe they might do what they did with Grievous?

Wow, already? How much???

I finally got an Endor 3PO. It was the unpainted knees which is fine as I only got it for the chair. I was unhappy to see that the hips were unpainted as well. Looks like crap standing up...

I picked up a Shock Trooper and a couple of Sandtroopers at WM yesterday. I found a painted-knees C-3PO at Target.
