The VTAC snowtrooper leaves this in the dust.
That's not hard to do...as the VTAC Snowtrooper is rapidly becoming a strong contender for the "best. figure. ever." title.
Good to heard that not all the new Stormies are that bad though. I think I may wait until he's refreshed in a later wave, under hopes that the quality control will get better over time.

It's definitely the best Imperial trooper, no doubt. It's great that the past couple of years we've gotten definitive versions of the masked Imperial troops. All we need is a truly definitive Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot.

I just received 5 of those Tantive IV STs. Pretty good figure if you ask me, but the lack of waist articulation is a small downer for me. But it sure beats paying bih bucks for a VOTC ST! Of course, there's the little slot in the back from his days as a Sandtrooper, but actually, I like that a lot. Reminds me of G.I. Joe. Every figure had that screw hole in it's back, so you could stick any backpack onto it.

It's scheduled to start hitting stores in October. As for what I think of it...well, I'll just say that I'm very, very thankful that's not the design that ended up in the film.

Yeah, i hear ya. Your still going to buy it though right?
I guess i'm looking forward to saga legends, the next couple wave figs,
even though they are slowly comin around here with just seeing a few
wave 2, and that boba fett holiday special fig interest me too.
What new clones are coming out that are the talk of the summer?

I keep searchin' and searchin' and I still can't find myself an VOTC Snowtrooper. I've got Lukes and IG-88s all over and no Snowtroopers.

Just picked up 4 more white ROTS clones from the Saga Legends line. That makes a total of 6 of those and only 2 Shock Troopers. These things are really tough to find right now! Good luck to all those who are looking!

Man, it's gonna be tough trying not to buy every single shocktrooper that I see. It's my favorite clone design, and the SA version is my favorite clone figure of them all (followed closely by the Marine). I'll be happy if I can just find enough to replace my QD mold shocks, which is 4. I'll also be getting one to keep MOC to go up on my clone wall.

Misfit, I think that Baron Fel coming in the new comic 2-pack will probably be the ultimate TIE pilot (he has removable armor and helmet!  ), but I think a Jango face would make it even better.

I just received my order of the VTSC 2007 wave and I must say, I too am very impressed with how the Snowtrooper looks. At first, I thought the kama was still wrong at the buckle, but looking at the pic on the card, I humbly admit I am so wrong. Hasbro clearly outdid theirselves with this one. Superb!

It would, if it was the standard flight suit seen in the films but it's the one with red markings from that series. Oh well, I'm sure they'll do a TIE Fighter Pilot in the next Vintage wave. At least I hope.  And yes, give him a Jango head.
Found a bunch of the Saga Legends tonight, including all the clones. I would've picked up two of each but I had gone on a spree at some other stores before getting to this Target that had them, so I only got one of each. I'll make up for it next payday. If I can find them again, of course.

Ok, today I got a loose VTSC Snowtrooper in the mail. And yes, it gets 10 out of 10 points! Incredible figure, of which I definitely have to have 5 or 6

Wow, great find, how much did you pay if you don't mind me askin?
Will any of these be around when/if they go on sale? $7 on figs is hard enough to spend more even though these VOTC are awesome looking.
I can't believe the Saga line is still out, anyone agree? I jumped back into collecting (because i wanted a Comm. Cody) thinking this line would soon be gone, and 3 months later, there still in my stores taking up 30th anniversary space!!!!!
