Latest 'rumor' from Jayson/Yakface - Target Exclusive Solo Trooper Pack? (http://yakfaceforums.com/main/2018/08/01/rumor-report-target-exclusive-solo-trooper-pack/)
Head on over to check out a tiny pic of the figures in the set, which appear to include:
Mimban Stormtrooper
Stormtrooper Officer
Imperial Patrol Trooper
TIE Fighter Pilot
Mudtrooper A (red arm band – Han corporal)
Mudtrooper B (white arm band – medic?)
UPC: 630509707195
Target DPCI: 087-16-0135

Yes, all of this, yes.
-
It's like echoes of the TFA Amazon exclusive trooper pack!
...but a little more interesting. The Patrol trooper and Mudtroopers make this interesting. The Stormtrooper officer is good, too. And at $44.99 it seems reasonable for 6 figures.

I'm actually disappointed the discount isn't better. 6 carded figures @ $8 each is $48. So we get a $3 (6%) discount for buying six figures bundled together. I would have expected a much better discount - maybe something like $39.95.
-
I'm ok with the price here. $40 would be great, but with the Red Card discount and the gift cards I tend to collect from other sales I'm ok. I plan on buying a few of these. This is a great set and something I'd love to see more of.

Hate 5poa but love this set. Like others this is pretty good for 5poa to me and I’m in. Would buy extras of the mud troops to custom if I could. Maybe someday basics will be easy to get.

listed on Target.com now (https://www.target.com/p/star-wars-force-link-2-0-3-75-inch-figure-6pk-target-exclusive/-/A-53321795?clkid=900fffe3Ncfbc34ec647ee152aaa765c4&lnm=143415&afid=VigLink&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002)
I think it's kind of cool that this set has the Medic Mudtrooper (white armband). I thought that was a cool bit of info in the visual dictionary to see Imp medics like that.
Hope we get a generic "infantry grunt" mudtrooper (w/red or no armband deco) in the basic figure line-up too.

Very nearly a dream set. Too bad they're 5POA figs. Means I'll only buy one.
-
Has this shown up in stores yet?
-
Bought it today. All troopers except TIE Pilot are 7 POA - shoulders, neck, hips & wrists. Han’s helmet is not removable but his goggles are. Han’s rifle is unique 2 him. Mudtrooper (medic) mask is glued to face. Both Mudtrooper capes areremovable with hoses glued into armor backplate.
-
Bought it today.
Dumb question, but meaning you found it at Target?
EDIT: that answer is yes. My buddies just found them locally.
-
Were they just stuck on the shelf somewhere or did the store have a reset done? And where abouts?

Can the mask on Han be placed over his face?

Got one. Figures are nicely sculpted however, the figures articulation is keeping me from going broke purchasing more than one. A blessing in disguise I suppose.

Awesome! That will make all the extra Hans usable. Thanks!!
-
I was able to score this set at a local Target today (with the 20% discount applied as well ;D)
The Han can totally be disguised as another Mudtrooper - the goggles pull down onto the helmet and the breather mask fits snugly over his face.
I only picked up two of this set to open and one to keep MIB, but the fact that the Han can be disguised as generic Mudtrooper has me thinking that I'll probably want to pick up another two to open.
-
I thought these would be much harder to find, glad I'm wrong. Seeing them almost every time I hit a Target. But then again, Target knows how to handle their exclusives.
-
And, still finding these plentiful. I have noticed them sell through and being restocked. I've bought 3 sets and will probably buy a few more when on sale, but especially if they make it to clearance.
-
Has anyone confirmed if the single carded Mimban Han is the same as the one from this set? The thread here and at RS are hanging with that as an open question.
-
I haven’t opened either one. But they definitely look a lot like one another. I got both the Falcon and the Kessel playset. The playset gives you some nice display options. And I don’t think anyone is going to go so far as to dress up the BMF Falcon in SOLO deco, as tempting as that might be. Plus the coaxium storage cylinders make for a cool accessory.
What I might do with one of the Han figures with no jacket is to put a vest on it. Because I got so many of the CommTech Han Solo figures way back when that one of those can spare a vest. That way I’ll have a Han figure to depict him in the Sabacc game from the end of the movie.

They look identical to me. I've opened both and compared.

Sounds like you’re talking about the regular Han, I’m asking about the Mimban one in the Imperial armor outfit?

Awesome, and just to triple check, we’re talking about the one in the armor?

My bad!
I only got the version from the Imperial 6-packs and never picked up the single packed version. I've gotten so tired with the double dipping that I'm fine with the 6-pack version.
I thought you were talking about the pack-in figures from the Falcon and the Kessel playsets. That'll teach me to just read the latest posts instead of reading the full threads.

Yes. I take special interest in all imperial figures, trying incorporating them into my army, figuring out their rank (in my universe) and position. Using this figure as an example, these are probably going to become the combat lieutenants for my Stormtrooper platoons.

The 6-pack version has slightly yellow hue to the mud on the boots while the single card version mud is whiter in color.

That's perfect, thanks!
At RS, someone posted this link too, which might be old news, but is a pretty handy resource for comparing that I'd never seen:
