I scoured Wal-Marts last weekend and I found one of each of the new figures, plus an extra Commander Gree! I agree, out of the package he is a very cool figure. I'm hoping they don't make too many repaints of the regular clones with this scult though. Personally, I think this sculpt should be reserved only for the clone commanders. It will make them stand out more in army displays.

Hey Hasbro, COMMANDER CODY and COMMANDER BACARA would look really nice with this sculpt!!! Hint, hint...

See my post in the 2008 - Wave 1 revealed string for important information about the new Kashyyyk Trooper. Army Builders: AVOID THIS FIGURE AT ALL COSTS!!!!

I still have not seen 2008 Wave 1 in stores.

The Kashyyyk Clone is one of my biggest 'wants' from Episode III.
I was actually sort of satisfied with the biker scout repaint, but seeing this more accurate design, I have been salivating for a while now.

Well its nearly March, and no Wave 1 love for me.

I'm surprised (and a little nervous) to reads the above warning not to buy this clone? Anyone else own it?

I found 19 of them myself last night. It was very unexpected, and very cool to find them!

I bought two of the 501st figures yesterday in Oklahoma... so at least you can't get your hands on those!!! happy

I also bought the AT-AP, Gree, and two of the Kashyyk troopers. I know someone above said those are bad, but I think they look pretty good and my son loves how the face mask raises up. The AT-AP is very cool too. I'm thinking we need maybe one more and then an army of Kashyyk troopers to do a big display. Gree isn't too bad... but still seems slightly "off". Can't explain it - but I think he could have been a little bit better.

My favorite 3 3/4 figure that I've seen so far is the Darth Nihilus figure in the Evolutions set. I know that's not clone related... but he looks nifty.

He didn't get *all* of them. I found 3-4 501st troopers tonight. Didn't get them, but I had to pick up a Clone Captain. He goes well with the couple of plain white EP 2 troopers I have.

Have seen quite a few of the SA 501st clones everywhere. Looks like Hasbro is pushing the 501st deco.

Question-
Are these new 501st coming with the commander Rex sticker offer??

That would make me very happy.

I posted this in the Sideshow thread but thought I'd post it here as well, since it deals with clonetroopers.

Yeah, Star Corps would've been a good choice. I decided to go with the 501st.
