The trooper with the blue markings looks like something of an update on the ROTS era 501st markings.  It certainly makes me wonder if Hasbro/Lucasfilm will call that a 501st Stormtrooper.

I managed to get the Ewoks, R2, the A-Wing pilot and McQuarrie Han Solo.  I'm really looking forward to opening these up.  Especially the A-Wing pilot.

Something should be leaking soon.  Give it a few weeks.

Playing devils advocate here, I do seem to recall that in either the concept art for THE FORCE UNLEASHED or the pre-vis videos that were released we did see a Stormtrooper with some kind of markings.  There was one trooper with yellow markings that were similar to the Clone Commander from AOTC.  You can check it out on the Official Site.

Weird turn of events.  I guess the guy broke in last week and left a knife behind and then came back this weekend when everybody was home.

Taylor attempted to defend himself (and I can only assume, his child and wife) with a machette and as you know, got shot in the leg. 

I still can't believe he died from a gunshot to the leg.

The whole story is very bizarre.  Just the fact that the guy would still be alive if he wasn't injured or chose to travel with the team shows how random life can be.

As for him dying from a gunshot to the leg/groin area?  It's very easy, actually.  If a bullet damages/severs the femoral artery it can lead to almost uncontrollable hemorraging.  Lose enough blood and that's a wound that can kill anyone.  One of the only things that might have saved him was if someone could get a tourniquette on his leg above the wound quickly, and even then that particular first aid measure could put the victim at risk to lose the leg.

So why is this posted in this thread?


Anyway, back on topic.  I'm in the process of moving and have been boxing up a lot of my collection.  A good deal of it is going into storage for the next year, and the remainder is going into rubbermaid bins until I can get situated in my new place. 

What have I found?  My armies are geared much more towards the PT.  My AOTC Clone army is very considerable.  The ROTS Clone Army is up there, too, but I think because of the unit markings on the ROTS Clones they don't stand out as much as the AOTC Clones.  There's also a good deal of Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids and the like.

I think the best estimation of what I have is going to come in about a year or so.  That's when I'm moving into a place that's big enough that I'll finally be able to display all the armies in their glory.  I think the OT Imperials are going to be well represented.  At least well enough to make for a good Emporer's arrival diorama.

Scored a TIE Bomber, an ARC battle pack, Romba & Graak and a cargo net R2 today.
