I must be one of the dummy that bought multiples of it at full price at release View attachment 736165

Nah, I suspect all of our collections are laden with pieces we bought at full price that went to discount later. Conversely, I've got items that I waited on and paid over retail because they went out of stock. The collecting game never ends

 

[Cthulhu]

I bought 3 of them at first release. Always liked the Dark Troopers from the Dark Forces game, was excited to see them in the show and as a figure.

Sideshow are allegedly getting to the end of their Dark Troopers.

If you add one to your cart now there's a ten minute warning to complete the order.

I missed the 30% off on the Chrome Mando to also grab this. Damn.

I just popped it in my cart to check and it did bring up the free dark trooper offer...

I just popped it in my cart to check and it did bring up the free dark trooper offer...

Yeah the dark trooper is still available but not the 30% off

Yeah the dark trooper is still available but not the 30% off

Oh, that's my fault, I was looking at the Nomad Mando...So many Mandos, hard to keep them straight.

 

[chrisstbh]

Dark Troopers are basically gone now. You now get "looks like someone else has this in their cart" red warning when attempting to add it.

 

[chrisstbh]

Gone.

 

[Cthulhu]

Nice

 

[darth dennis]

Guessing a Marvel figure is next...

 

[zeiss]

I would bet that mandalorian scout trooper may be an upcoming free figure if they come back to Star Wars.

I love the Dark Trooper design. A perfect blend of retro and contemporary.

For the 'free' one I went with a simple pose. Clenched fists, blaster holstered, ready for some punchy, punchy.

As soon I started to photograph them I was reminded how these 'black hole' troopers absorb light even with the camera flash and a lamp trained on them...

Baylan makes them appear less intimidating:

So I decided to have them flank my version of Luke from this period in time:

Changing the camera settings in macro to 'Cool' and 'Tungsten Light' diminished their ability to absorb so much light, even without the extra lamp being trained on them:
