Thanks for sharing those pics. Looks very nice. I still think the standard stormie might be my least favorite of the bunch.

Sharp pics, knl01!
Really beautiful pictures knl! Thank you! 
Really love the aesthetic of this guy and the TFA designs in general. One bit of info, I've found the Flametrooper is more poseable than the regular trooper (but not by much). Also, the fire attachment wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, in fact it looks quite nice.
Some cleaned up photos to share
Posing him with his colleagues, this completes my trinity:

I never noticed the OII detail on the tanks before. That's a really nice touch.

Excited about the flame effect. I can't wait to get him in hand and start tinkering with an LED set up.

Use the spr1ng16 one for the $20 off if that's what u mean. He's been code eligible for a while now. Other than that I don't think there is anything nor will there be anything unless he is a slow seller once stock starts hitting U.S. Shores
This guy is on the spacetrooper level of coolness, visually, but not sure I want any of these TFA troopers despite owning the snowtrooper and TIE Pilot, both of which are pretty nice.
I remember some people thinking a trooper with a giant tank of gas on him (a target) who uses a flamethrower has no place in Star Wars.

I agree. I had resisted him until they put that damn little burst of fire on the thrower. Now... I think I gotta get him. I resisted the TIE pilot... and I only have one (1)... Yes, that's ONE... TFA trooper. The Jakku Trooper.
And for the size and detail, the price is surprisingly reasonable... compared to say Leia for only $20 less.

Turned out great - as everyone else has commented, the flame effect is a welcome surprise, and looks really good...not cheap or cheesy looking at all...really adds to the trooper's unique look.
Was gonna pass....but now....

Well, F&F, what should we do...? Get the Flametrooper.... or continue to resist?

I was on the fence with him, and the Snowtrooper. Seeing the flame effect, and all 3 posed together did it for me. Just bought the Snowtrooper($50 dollars coupon), and pre-ordered the Flametrooper.
While I don't have all the variants, that pretty much complete my Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection.

WG, I really don't want a huge TFA display. I figured one First Order figure to represent the bad guys (Jakku), with Rey w/BB8 and Finn to represent the good guys.
Then the Finn/Crowd Control Trooper was announced and is a very good deal, so I figured I get it and either sell off the CCTrooper or most likely, end up really liking it and display it with the Jakku trooper, but that would be it...
Now the Flametrooper appears and looks to be the best of the bunch. I know I can live without it but it looks amazing. I'll hold out as long as possible but I can see myself eventually caving when there's a sale or discount code available. Sigh...
P.S. An "old Han" would be picked up immediately, though.

Mine has hit NY. I assume it will now sit in customs for 3 days. Guessing next Monday but hoping for the weekend!

Damn, that's pretty awesome. Just needs a village to burn down.
