RUMOR - 2025 TVC Troop Builder Snowtrooper 4-Pack
« on: April 10, 2025, 08:27 PM »
We were all hoping it was coming...

Despite not being officially announced by Hasbro yet, a Snowtrooper Troop Builder 4-pack was recently sold on eBay...

I like Jayson's track record, but are we sure this isn't a custom?

If real...I'm in for five!

The seller's eBay record is pristine and lengthy, he's selling other similar items, and he put another Snowtrooper set up with a higher price already.

I don't think it's a custom.

The guys over at BanthaSkull bought one of these 4-packs from eBay and posted a review.

Seems fairly straight forward - four of the new VC349 Snowtrooper, 4x E-11, and 2x long rifles for variety.  No officer deco/armor variants.

Still no word from Hasbro... will be interesting to see if this is announced at the SWC Japan panel.

The long rifles look good. I am more than ok with it just being 4 grunts. Aside from the totally different Snowtrooper Commander design, does anyone recall if there were other any special rank markings in canon? I don't recall any.

I feel like I need to return a few of the individually carded ones I bought now that we know about this...  They'll certainly be more cost effective to buy in the 4-Pack.

I'm not sure how I feel about a four pack of Snowtroopers with essentially no variation beyond the rifle.  I've already got a bazillion from prior releases so I don't feel like I need to army build any more.

Maybe include an E-Web (although they probably would add $20), but it would have been nice to maybe get some weathering variations or battle damage.

I'm probably going to pass on this at full retail and consider getting it if it gets discounted.  Still not sure I need more Snowtroopers at any price.

While I am happy with the set as is, it could have been an interesting concept if Habsro had outright replaced one of the figures w/ an E-Web and a few other small weapons/accessories and kept it at the original price point. That would have still felt like a decent value to me, and it would have added some variety to the set w/o diminishing the army-building capabilities when buying multiple sets.

Totally see your point Rob, but for someone who did not get a full case of this figure, I like it.
