Can’t wait for it to actually go live.  I’ve been sitting here refreshing this thing for 7 minutes and I know that the minute I stop, it’ll go live and sell out and that’ll be that.

How hard is it to automate something like this?

It was live briefly last night.  Hopefully there is still stock left as I missed it last night and have been mashing the reload key for awhile now.

Seriously?  Also what the hell. 

Between this and then sending me an imperial gunner instead of the lone stormtrooper I ordered… I’m sick of dealing with Walmart exclusives.

I have really come to believe that Walmart spaces out the time when these preorders go live in an effort to not have to offer free shipping.  Because each individual item that has gone up for preorder is priced below their $35 threshold for free shipping.

Any sign of this thing yet?  I’m only checking every five or ten minutes now so if it goes fast…

Got one.  Now I can put my Walmart exclusive Commander Havoc with the rest of my Smashed Card collection... that is, if they don't cancel the order first.

Got one as well. All promo pics show him with the helmet on so I guess it doesn’t come off??

I got mine too, now I just have to hope it doesn’t arrive completely trashed.  :D

I’d think it’s a pretty safe bet that it’s a slight retool and repaint of the six other ARC troopers they’ve released in the last two years and all of their helmets came off.

What is different about this one vs. what they've already released?
