Sandtrooper w/ Orange Pauldron

[MaulFan]

This is a domestic exclusive, isn't it? So no exclusive item.

I believe being a DE is just one of the speculations, I don't think we know for certain.

But there's no PO, just going up tonight with the newsletter. Has there ever been an exclusive for a figure that 'just went up' without a PPO?

Not that I can think of, but it may not be Exclusive in any way.

Captain Antilles had no Ex. item and wasn't a Domestic Exclusive, same for Rebel Fleet Trooper, AOTC Clone Trooper.

I think with some of these variant, troop building figures, Sideshow's branching out into just putting out a single version of a smaller Edition Size to build up armies but not produce so many they're stuck with them on shelves.

I think we're now arguing the same point.

Dom Ex or not (I don't care) I don't think there will be an exclusive item. That was my point.

But he comes with that big bad gun and that's all I need.

I believe Henry Jones Sr was a newsletter PO with an exclusive.

Well, it still makes a difference for people looking to buy outside of Sideshow, if it were a domestic Exclusive, that could be limiting to options away from Sideshow to acquire the figure, so that's why I was distinguishing, also for the broad knowledge of the thread, it's not all about you WG

That gun seals the deal for me... I was a bit iffy, but that's another one of those "classic" Star Wars items

 

[Batty]

At least they aren't giving us exclusive stands. Although a sand base like they did for Maul's balls would've been a good idea.

 

[FLOSI]

Yup. You can see the ribbing on it if you look closely at the sneakpeek.

He's pretty much THE Sandtrooper then... Must buy.

I'm thinking of getting the white Sandtrooper again.....

Ouch.

I knew you were a mean mod.

Anyone know if it's based on a real weapon like some of the other rifles? Seems unlikely as it looks like a cannon and I don't think there's ever been a hand-held cannon like that, but you never know.

That was a stipulation when I took the job, I told Dave I wouldn't do it unless I could screw with you

No wonder you got the job so fast. I know Dave's been looking to take me out for some time now.

I was wondering that too... doesn't look like any "real world" weapon, but I can honestly say I'm not too knowledgeable on that one.

It's a based on a WWI machine gun.

Beat me to it, Batty.

 

[Hjalmar]

I kinda wish we knew the time. I don't like guessing. *shrug*

They definitely made it look cooler, it is fun to see the components Star Wars weapons are derived from though.

Yeah he mentioned that, my top priority assignment is to take you out
