They're sold out there now anyhow.

What's this 20% discount?

Yeah, I bought single trooper yesterday. That was the deal...well well.

Edit: At popcultcha

 

[TonTon]

Haha. Me too. I've wanted a boxed single for a while. And knew I'd never see a better deal.

The single HT Stormtrooper is the only Stormtrooper I own, and I paid just a little above retail on the after market for it. In retrospect I just should have waited for the Han Solo Trooper, which should be the same height and be no different with helmet on. I now also have Luke's Trooper on preorder. I wasn't planning on getting more than just one Stormtrooper, but Luke was too hard to resist after seeing in hand pictures and so now Han becomes a must have too when he comes out. So, when it's all said and done I will have 2 tall Stormtroopers and 1 short Stormtrooper. More than enough. I think I'll pose them all primarily as Stormtroopers and only occasionally pose the other two as Han and Luke. With the long rifle I got in the Han and Chewie two pack I could pose each one with a different Trooper blaster (long rifle, regular blaster, and the pistol used in promo shots).

On a side note, this is my 501st post I have made since I joined the forum in 2009. I think the Stormtrooper thread is an appropriate place for my 501st post.

Yeah I grabbed the last of the singles. PC was a good place to get them and they are all dried up now. Army building FTW, and approaching CanadaClone numbers.

I've owned the single Stormie since January and bought a HT Han head to go with it. Check out the pics of Han in St disguise
the Luke ST disguise thread , not pretty! I think the option I took is the best and cheapist.

Finally got to open these two up. Love em. They stand out so much on the shelf - my eyes are drawn to them.

The Ht Han head fits pretty well if you remove the foam piece from the neck joint. It's very easy to take off and put back on, just be a little careful because you need that piece for the stormie helmet to fit.

I think it fits back on easier without the foam.

Finally picked up one of the single troopers. I think I'll just pick up Luke in disguise and switch that in and out to be the short trooper.

Is there still anyplace that sells the Stormtrooper set (or solo piece) for retail? Waited too long waiting for the other Star Wars characters to release, Sideshow lists them all as SOLD OUT. I have the regular set on waitlist but since it's listed as SOLD OUT on the site now, there's probably little chance for it to convert.

Wait till an Empire release?
