Endor Rebel Troopers

[Wor-Gar]

I joined Hyperspace several months ago and have never received a copy of the Insider. You're supposed to get it with your membership, aren't you?

I don't know. You should call. But, as a member of Hyperspace, can't you get the SWI online edition by logging on?

What about the alien guy with a patch?????

Ya mean Pruneface... unfortunately I don't think he's in the mix

Three Endor Rebel Troopers? Why? I mean ... three nobodies? If it's true, it's clearly to accommodate army builders. Unless SSC wants to make us completists bleed hard! I can't think of an other good reason why someone would buy three (more or less) anonymous Endor rebel troopers! Especially with so many other good characters still left to choose from.

I'd gladly buy 2 or 3 descent Storm Troopers, but Endor Rebel troopers... Let's just wait and see if it's true.

Nothing in the mail today as far as the SWI goes.

This may be the fickle side of me typing (so don't slap me upside again, eric and those like unto him), but if this is 1 st quarter 2007 and if funds are tight, I may cancel Jabba for these guys... who knows?

Smack! Just kidding.

I've actually voiced my concern to my Sideshow rep about releasing so many Star Wars figures in the same month. As a small business, it really hurst when I have to purchase all those figures ato once. I know it also makes it rather difficult for customers on a budget as to what to buy that month. I wish they'd spread them out at least one each month.

Can you ask around and see if any of your connections have it?

I'll see if anyone I know got it yet.

Pretty kewl, our first no name figures. Prolly just get one of them. Stormtroopers are the only ones I would get 2 of.

I'd rather see Rebel Fleet Troopers along with Stormtroopers to recreate the opening of ANH. I thought that would be the movie they are focusing on next year...

Wow, it took a wopping 19 post for someone to say "...... but I'd rather see so and so instead"

Hopefully this brings us one step closer, or perhaps that's three steps, to a biker scout.

Mmmmm, biker scout.

You basically said it, it's army builders. There are tons of collectors out there that care nothing about Luke, Han, Vader and the rest but will buy tons of the soldiers.

And these aren't must have figures.

The SW Insider arrives so few times a year that the news included is rarely ever 'NEW'. Half the mag now is just a half printing of whatever comic book they're pushing at the time and not much energy put into the articles otherwise. I still have a subscription but I'm not really seeing much reason to keep subscribing until it gets closer to TV series time.

Rebel Troopers???....This will be a very easy pass for me!!!

I have to admit: this surprises me! I knew of army builders, but I thought they'd buy like 2 or 3 Stormies to pose as body guards for Vader. But, building an army of 12" figures, just for the army's sake... Somehow, that does not compute... For one, it's expensive. And it takes a lot of space to display a bunch of 12" which look very similar, not to say identical... But, hey! To each his own, right?!

Are there army builders here on the board? How about some pix, and/or words? I like to know more about this.

 

[EVILFACE]

You must not follow the GI Joe 1/6th style collections people have. Here is a good starting place.

Mmmmm, biker scout.

I hope they make the bike too..

 

[Wor-Gar]

Can you imagine a 1/6th scale "war" in your backyard as a kid?

 

[Customikey]

I was beginning to wonder if they'd finally release something I'd pass up...

 

[creature4000]

oh.. then with these guys they can bring on the EWOKS!!!!!!!!!

 

[Brent72]

3 more figures for 2007...

So far we have Jabba, Leia, Plo and maybe 3 rebels... that's 6 figures already for 2007. I hope SS isn't sticking to their 8-10 figures a year thing.

I hope you're right because 5 out of those 6(Jabba being the exception) don't interest me one bit. Come on Sideshow, let's get some VILLAINS!!!!!

 

[screamingmetal]

Awesome news! I can't wait to see them! 3 different head sculpts, I also hope they have a little variation in weapons/gear.
I bet Endor Scout Troopers are next!
