Star Wars was once my religion, but I've fallen from the purer faith.

Can't get very excited even for the OT now, but I may get the Sergeant to go with the old orange pauldron guy...

Could go with LOTR too?

No shame in buying multiples of figures/characters you really like :monkey3
My focus being OT Imperials, I don't mind having multiple identical figures for example. I collect for myself, don't care whatever others might say. There was someone who was wondering why I would buy a Hot Toys R2-Q5 and R5-J2, if ever made, since I already have the Sideshow versions. Just because. As long as I don't ask him for the money, why wonder about what I'm doing with my collection and $ ;)

I was right there in just about to order a second single Sandie Sergeant, but realized no place to display as already have 2 HT orange pauldron Sandtroopers (and a Marmit), and need space for the, hopefully, upcoming Death Star Trooper too.
 
Anyone have thoughts on how multiple of these will look next to each other? I'd love to put together a team but I'm a bit worried about how uniform the weathering will be between them.

I ordered two as well, but the weathering would definitely be too uniform for my taste, as HT generally is quite consistent in their paint apps. My plan is to re-weather one of them.
 
Hmm, one or two?:unsure: The redo of the backpack and unique pauldron says maybe 2.

Not a huge fan of the helmet but HT sandtroopers don't come along very often and once they do, they "move along" pretty quickly from the bargain category to the $$$ category.

Also so happy there will be some more sandie parts available at affordable prices for a little while. That hasn't been the case in some time (and yes I bought a lot of the stormie parts when that out-of-the-blue OT grouping came up at TA a couple of days ago.)
