Well done, Hasbro. I'll give credit where it is due.
-
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?
-
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!
-
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! >:D
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!

You paid for proof of purchases?!? Those came free with my figures. I literally had a dozen of them laying around by the time the Boba Fett offer came up--my 2 brothers and I each got a free figure!
(And they didn't charge S&H in 1979!)
;D ;D ;D

You purchased the proof of purchase and they threw in the action figure gratis! ;D
I also clearly remeber having to pay shipping and handling for my Boba Fett back in 1979.

No S&H mentioned. Someone scammed you, brother...I bet yours didn't even have a firing rocket!

I wonder when Disney gets their Shoretroopers……. And rebel troopers. ☹️

It was on the pamphlet.

My CC got dinged last night for the Shoretrooper 4-packs from HasbroPulse...
-
Same. Apparently I ordered two sets.
-
ShopDisney is also shipping theirs. I picked up a couple there at a discount and cancelled my Pulse orders.

I did the same. Just got them at the door. Another pre-order off the spreadsheet! 8)
-
I got a message from Hasbro Pulse that mine have been paid for. Wife's going to love seeing another box show up at the new house!
-
Got my shoretroopers from Pulse today and I think this is my favorite 4-pack so far. Cheap Stormies and RFT variants are fun and all, but it's sooooo nice to finally have some SA versions of the Captain and Squad Leader. Long overdue!

Agreed. I cracked mine open yesterday too and I love the variations included in this set.
-
I got my shipping notice for my two sets a week ago, but the tracking number still hasn't been updated. I'm really excited to get this set in hand, this is easily one of my favorite trooper variants. I almost bought some extra loose grunts from Tunghori's store the other day.
-
I liked the Shoretroopers so much that I went ahead and ordered two more from Shop Disney.
The Deathtroopers, I only ordered one and don’t expect that I’ll order more.
