Not quite Ep 3, but great for Army Builders:
Star Wars Troop Builder 8-Pack: Star Wars Saga Clone Trooper for $45.00 It'll save you about $11 vs buying them at $6.99 apiece, plus the gas savings. Not bad at all.
They have them for Stormtroopers, Ep 2 Clones, Destroyer Droids and Sandtroopers.

Enter "Troop builder" in the search feature.It should take you to something like this.
They also have several other clones available, but not as a troop builder. But it's a good way to save some gas and not pay e-beast scalper prices.

Nothing says Clone Army like finally having an AT-TE to support my forces.
Today is a day that will be long remembered.

For those in the UK, an Argos insert in one of today's papers has the AT-TE advertised at £99.99. Says it holds up to 20 clones with one supplied.

Wow, considering it's retailing for US $99.99 over here that's a very interesting price they've got there.
The 20 figure number is spot on. 14 in the back, 4 in the front compartment, 1 in the "cockpit", and 1 on the big gun. If you're displaying it with the rear ramp down you can actually increase that number, since there are additional peg holes on the ramp and the steps leading up to it. I would say maybe 25 clones before it started to look ridiculous and unrealistic.
I'm planning on displaying it with a bit of realism in mind when it comes to troop counts and their ranks. The main crew will be standard 6 standard white Clones (four internal gunners, one on the main gun, and one driver) led by a blue marked Lieutenant serving as the vehicle's commanding officer from the front compartment. The rear troop hold will be filled with three squads of four troops, each with one green marked Sergeant to lead them into battle. The final seat left in the front compartment will be taken by a red marked Captain, theoretically in charge of an armor group including other AT-TEs that will be unseen.
So my overall count will be 15 white, 3 green, 1 blue, and 1 red AOTC Clone Troopers. All on the lovely SA mold, with the infantry that are ready to be deployed borrowing the longer blasters from their ROTS counterparts for movie accuracy. I will not be army building or even picking up any of the new CW animated style figures...so the one that came with the vehicle will likely just be forgotten in a storage box somewhere.

I can't wait to get the AT-TE. I've been waiting for this ever since AOTC and it looks like it was worth the wait. I'm not getting until next week, but that gives me time to clear out some room for this masterpiece.
I'm also totally sold on the animated style clones. At first I was gonna pass on them, but after seeing them in person and how great they look (hype for the new show and film doesn't hurt either) I'll gladly be getting all of 'em.

I bought Capt Rex when I saw him at Woolies last weekend. It's a pretty nice figure. Don't know about articulation though as mine is still packaged.

I think they have everything but ball jointed hips (wish they did). The articulation is part of the reason why I'm picking them up. Clones are some of the few characters where you can never have too much articulation, IMO.

As I mentioned above, I don't think you can ever have too much articulation on a clone trooper, and it looks like Hasbro is going to test that theory. A 20 POA clone trooper is rumored to be coming in the CW line.
And speaking of the CW line, I love it, especially the clones. I'm more of a squad builder than an army builder, so I won't be going crazy with them, but so far I have 2 of the basic troopers, 2 of the Wal-Mart exclusive 501st troopers, Rex, and Commander Fox. Hasbro's really done a great job on these. The sculpts are great, and of course, so is the articulation. Really, really looking forward to Cody in the next wave.

Very nice. 88 more to go, huh? I wish I could find just ONE. I still haven't seen any trace of that wave around here. Hopefully it starts showing up soon. I've been wanting that trooper on that mold for a long time now.
