Just ask in the FS section. Someone was offering his for $225 when I put up a WTB thread but I already found one by the time he offered.

It says "interchangeable"... but there's no evidence that the helmet can be worn by some faux "head" or that they include a regular neck and 2nd helmet.

I guess that means if you've ever wanted to put Chewie's head on a 5-foot, 8-inch Stormtrooper body, now you can.

They should put Cad Bane's head on a stormy body and call it a day. No one has thought of that yet!

Unlikely to be, but it's a super-easy mod. One way: just cut a slit in a black rubber chair stopper from Home Depot, attach it to the neck peg, sit the helmet on top of that.
I've been looking for one for a while now in the WTB section. No action so far.
Edit: Well, that's not entirely true. I had a few offers at close to $300. Wasn't too keen on that deal.
At BBTS the two-pack is $407 shipped. I bought a two-pack and sold the short for $190 on eBay (so $165 after eBay and PayPal fees). So already that's $242--cheaper than a place like TOYNK.
I could sell the mouse droid for probably $25 and the large rifle for maybe $15 or $20 if I wanted and be paying retail for the single essentially. Or you get to keep those extras if you want.
It's more work obviously, so not for everyone, but as I sell on eBay frequently enough it wasn't that big a deal.

Buy a two-pack sell one of them for $170 and you're still way ahead of most resale prices.

I don't think canadaclone could ever fathom owning only one Stormie. Inconceivable! 
Just got my first Hot Toys Star Wars figure in (of what I fear will be many). Ignore the clutter. I have to clean out some space in one of my Detolfs:
Cool pic!^^

I didn't even think that was a singular word in CC's vocabulary, just a modifier. One-hundred. One-Dozen. etc.
I'm pondering ordering another 2pk to have 4 but still don't know if the Luke disguise will have a ST helmet head to go on it.
The problem is, by the time that you find that out it may be difficult to get Stormtroopers for a reasonable price.
Thought to share this with fellow freaks.
A friend's friend from ShenZhen, China sent this image claiming there are fake HT Stormies in the market going for about USD60...
I have yet to thoroughly verfiy this though. So guys, be cautious when getting anything without proper packaging on ebay.

That's the SSC stormie copies, I forget what they were called Force Toys? They look like pretty much identical copies, the helmet might be a bit worse with a crappy looking brow, but it's not that great on the SSC either.
Wow. You have shape eyes. I couldn't tell the difference even when I have both the HT and SSC Stormies.

You can always spot the wide shoulders and narrow hips of the SSC Stormtrooper, that and the diminutive cod piece.

Some idiot on Facebook (right?) tried to argue UP and DOWN with me that these were copies of the Hot Toys trooper because it comes with 5 hands.
Even though all the armor parts and shoes look like casts of the Sideshow troopers. I mean, put them side by side on the screen and there's no mistaking them, from the wide chest armor to the pointy crotch, the shins are completely different and of course the tell-tale shoes - HT's are short with an excessively thick sole.This release is also a good shovel to use when hitting the face of people who defend re-casts of artist's work, claiming it's OK because the artists don't have permission for the likeness. Their argument falls down when they continue to support counterfeit and re-cast licensed products such as this. Their come-back is usually something like "who cares? This is a great deal, a Stormtrooper for $100, half the price of Hot Toys" or of course "Sideshow isn't selling theirs anymore." FFS.
