Excellent...I can't wait to have a few badass-looking squads. I'm really sick of the POTJ ones, so it'll be nice to phase those out.

I've been talking so much trash about Sandtroopers this year, after seeing them littering the pegs, and then I went ahead and ordered three of the new one online. I'm such a whore.

I'd actually like to see Hasbro release this guy with the black pauldron (and hell, maybe even the white pauldron) for a while. My sandtrooper legion is so ****** up, I'd like to actually curate it a bit. If this is the ultimate version, I'd like to build my forces on that mold, with the proper pauldron colors. After all, I know I won't be buying many AOTC rererererererereleases.

Now that I think of it, I should just a buy a bunch of this guy and take the pauldrons from the ones I already have. Are they swappable?

This...is...awesome!!!

I really would like to see a repainted version with Boba Fett. Naturally, Fett would need ball jointed hips, which he needs anyways. If it could stow away in the upcoming Slave-1, all the better.

Nothing online.

Thanks Jeff. Yeah, I love that they use those guys, and it's one of those things that makes me want to watch all the Clone Wars episodes. I keep meaning to just buy the whole series on dvd or bluray when it's finished, to watch the whole thing.

There's really great parts of the prequels, visually, but I just wish they had brought some more OT into it. I guess that's a subject for a different thread though.

Yeah, but those Lancer droids are just all kinds of awesome by themselves. I have four, and I always planned on building a little army of them...I'll have to get around to that someday. I like the old-style assassin droids a lot more than the battle droids. I wish we had seen either the lancers or (ultimate wish) a bunch of straight-up IG-88 droid in the prequels. They're just so much more menacing (not to mention Star Warsy) than the snoopy battle droids.

And don't start talking about that ridiculous EU story about IG-88 being one of 5 identical blah, blah, blah...that was hack writing to begin with.

And count me in for a hoth version of this speeder bike. I like the idea of some recon troops on Hoth. Has anyone tried the sandtrooper from the Dewback set with this thing? Seems like that could be very cool.
