I wish they could have added some variants to the bandoliers... The ones on screen seem to have some slight differences. I've already got 6 Death Troopers, and as much as I love the troopers themselves (not necessarily the figure) I think this will be the first of the Army Building packs that I pass on.
-
Plus they’re way too skinny.
-
The Death Troopers were predictable for this format. I just wish they would have gone the extra mile on the accessories. Include things like the sniper rifle that’s seen in Rogue One, or the thermal detonators.
-
This set was a no-brainer. I also pinged Hasbro about a Darktrooper set and, judging by their reply to me, they know that's a no-brainer as well.
-
Are any of these in this four pack different from what we've already received?
-
Managed to get two of these from Pulse. Now 'm looking at Shop Disney to see if they show up there.
-
I got my order in for 2 x of these sets. Considering the nature of the Death Troopers, I'm fine with that quantity.
I actually found a third party seller who offers some of the weapons that the Death Troopers use, like the DLT-19D (https://www.ebay.com/itm/294909184195?hash=item44a9f508c3:g:CY0AAOSwpB9gLIe~). I think I might order this. It would also be nice to find someone who offers the web gear and/or the thermal detonators.
-
Try as I might, I couldn't get fired up about this set. I ordered 1.
I've got two dozen Death Troopers already...
-
Are they at all new or just repacks? Skipping this one for now.

Does not seem to be anything new here.
I picked up two sets to fill out my Scariff and Nevarro shelves because why not? ::)

My only complaint about these troop builder packs is that they are not more widely available.

Despite my misgivings yesterday, I ended up ordering one of these sets while preordering the other figures today. I guess I can split them up onto different shelves a bit better now.
The figure is skinny, I wish the changed up the accessories, but overall I love the Death Trooper (as a trooper design) too much not to grab a few more.
-
I got a notice last night that the Death Trooper set is processing via Hasbro Pulse. And this set is probably the indicator for me that not all of these sets are created equal. If the Death Trooper 4-pack is offered elsewhere I am not going to buy it - two of these is enough for me. Because between these, the 3.75" Black Series release and the TVC carded releases I feel like I have more than enough Death Troopers.

The Deathtroopers, I only ordered one and don’t expect that I’ll order more.
I ordered two but cancelled and re-ordered just one as well. Wish they would have found a way to work in the third Deathtrooper weapon (long rifle) to give this set some element of newness. So many of the import figures come with all three -

Card got hit twice for these. I apparently ordered one set, forgot I ordered it, then couldn't find it amongst all of my other preorders on Pulse, so I must have ordered it a second time. Oh well. This is the least excited I've been for one of these, but I'm ok with that.
I really do wish they'd have altered the bandoliers slightly or packed in the extra weapon Jeff just posted. I still love the trooper type (the figure itself is a bit skinny and could use updated articulation though), but we could use a bit of variety with these.

My Deathtrooper set just arrived today. Definitely a bit of a let down after the Shoretroopers. I forgot this set only came with 4 pistols and 2 rifles. I really wish we got more weapons in there, especially since Hasbro saved costs by not including bandoliers for the three standard infantry. (Which is technically screen accurate, but I'd still rather have the option just remove the bandoliers.)
I also just got two more of the Shoretrooper sets from Shop Disney. That set is fantastic.

I’ve been wondering when Pulse was going to ship my Deathtrooper pack and realized I never ordered one. Oops,
I just ordered a pair from Disney instead…

Easy to do when we kept getting dumped with preorders for a while there.

I like the Deathtrooper set, I just wish each figure had a carbine rifle.
