If you contact them, they should offer you a $25 credit like they did for me. I probably should've just taken the credit and repaired it myself. It's already been delivered back to them so there's not much I can do now!

Ask for a 25 dollar credit for something a drop of superglue can fix and complain about rising prices later
Awesome mods! Are the magnets sunk into the helmet where you have the dotted lines? Did you drill those areas out?

LOL, just to clarify, I did not ask for a credit. My original contact with them was to send a photo of the broken backpack and ask what I should do. They then offered a $25 credit or to replace the item for free. Don't blame me for the rising prices!

I have one Sideshow Account...I worked to get the rest....
Successfully.
For those looking for a second Spacetrooper, he come into stock at Popcultcha this week and while too late for the 12 Days of Christmas 20% off Store wide, 20% off Star Wars and 20% off Hot Toys days, today is 15% off Action Figures. Only 3 more sales left and there is a chance there might be 20% off again for a category he fits in, but I didn't want to risk it so picked up a second. Should be sub $200 delivered for the US guys.
Probably closer to $220 shipped for US folks. Thanks for the heads up, Momaw! I needed a second Luke Stormtrooper to do a custom Han and another custom Stormtrooper so I just picked him up for $225 shipped.
I'm on the fence for Luke stormtrooper. Can't decide whether to pull the trigger or not.
The detailed helmet, bonus head sculpt, and different belt and binders sealed the deal for me. I'll likely just replace the short trooper with this Luke.
I had been thinking the head could work on the X-wing figure but the sweaty aspect has thrown me for a loop a bit. Still excited to get it though. I'll probably get the PC one before the one from Sideshow, which ships out the 11th.

Ok, you twisted my arm. Expensive day. Stormtrooper Luke, farm boy Luke, First Order Stormtrooper and Spacetrooper.
I wonder if the sweat can be removed somehow. Guess I should consult the relevant thread.
Think I only have the Sandtrooper left before Christmas I think now.

I drilled an 1/8" hole (at a slight angle to match the stock hose fitting position) through the helmet. The magnet in the helmet is larger than the hole opening to ensure is doesn't come out. The 1/8" magnet rod is glued into a hole drilled into the hose fitting.
The magnets I used measure .125 dia by .250 length (rod magnet) and .250 dia by .100 thickness (disc magnet).
Hope that helps!

Ahoy!
Here's part 2 of the Spacetrooper/part-time Stormtrooper modification.
I posted the helmet mod a couple pages back, so this update deals with the backpack/backplate only.
The chestplate I ordered on ebay to replace the damaged backplate came in today. I made a down and dirty impression mold of the backplate details to repair the stock plate. I'll eventually use that to replace the SS sandtrooper chest piece...
Real estate to display my figures is hard to come by these days, so this guy will have to satisfy my Stormtrooper fix!
Thanks for lookin!
Cheers

I crumbled under the self applied pressure and ordered this.... I've wanted it since I saw it at Celebration.
The similarities between the Spacetrooper and the Stormtroopers on Sullust in Battlefront also didn't help... Oh well. Hurry and ship mine, SS!

I got one too, Flosi. He's pretty awesome.
I'm leaving the acquisition of the Spacetrooper to the "fates" of the whills...
If it still available after I've picked up all of the OT figures that I initially want, then it shall be purchased.

Battlefront sure isn't helping AT ALL. Makes me want a shadow trooper too..

At least I don't see those all that often. 
But yes! I'm level 30, so I doubt I'll be getting to 50 anytime soon.

I think I might have cancelled the Spacetrooper if he didn't go up during Celebration. He's sort of like the final Celebration souvenir to remember the trip by.

I bought those were the new Magma troopers on Sullust
It pains me to see guys that high already in game

Exactly
But I am level 40 and I'm debating on getting a scout trooper now...
