Not that I know of. Sorry to get you going there. Looks like someone else
was nodding off too.

I think you're getting carried away now.

But you didn't get him on a stand with a collector's card.

I think it probably all comes down to the marketing. The best I'd expect
would be a pack of two Stormtroopers plus one other imperial (dark grey
Imperial Officer would be nice, but most likely the existing Tie Fighter or
Imperial Shuttle pilot) in a minifig collectors pack. They'd be able to
sell loads of these and make a tidy profit. After all, the collectors packs
sell for the same price as the 5 figure + equipment packs of other themes.
Still, they've got to hold someting back for the second half of next year.
Jason.
