have a dozen or so scout troopers and only 2 stormtroopers. If this is • TLC's
attempt to give us a cheaper alternative than the TIE to get stormies, I'm
somewhat disappointed.

After I wrote I thought exactly the same thing. It would make more sense to
have 2 stormtroopers and a rebel trooper in Endor gear but the minifig sets
all contain major characters so Luke would be the obvious choice. Would have
been better to have Bespin Luke and 2 stormies :)  If we do have to have
another Endor Luke then it should be with 2 stormies, and if there happened
to be a single orange epaulette in the box and a single backpack then I'd
end up buying loads just for the ability to have rebel Endor troopers,
stormies, and sandtroopers. Hmm.

All that said, I'm still going to get a bunch of them if/when it comes • out.
The cammo-pattern torso is cool, and you can never have too many • Imperials.
Can't pass up the chance at more stormies. :)

I'm going to get another speeder set just so I can turn Luke into Leia and
recreate the speeder chase! Just got to find one in Birmingham (UK), TRU had
none left on Saturday.

(...) Not the battle droids set! (...) How about just a stormtrooper, a scout trooper, and a sandtrooper? Heck, we've already got scouttroopers in a pack. stormtrooper, sandtrooper, and a TIE Pilot (ooo, black-suit stormtroopers!) Steve (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.starwars)
