OK I have said this many times before and I will say it again.
Stormtroopers are at the core of STAR WARS. Other than Darth Vader,
Stormtroopers are THE most recognizable characters in the Star Wars universe.
Yes they are more identifiying and recognizable than Luke, Leia, Han, Obi Wan,
Yoda, and even Boba Fett. The droids might give them a run for their money but
I don't think so.
If they were to make ONE fig it should be a Stormtrooper. I will go out on a
limb and say that I would by hundreds (Maybe up to 1,000) Stormtroopers if I
could get them reasonably priced (Any say Polly Bag).
This is the ONE and the ONLY fig I want and it is getting me very very angry
that I can't have one. This is probably my primary reason for moving into
building Castle related stuff. I can guarentee that if I had Stormtroopers I
would be building hugh Star Wars dioramas.
I could go on for hours about NO Stormtroopers but I won't. I will say that
although 9 times out of 10 your reasoning is sound in this case it is flawed.
Stormtroopers should have been the first Fig released not something held back
for the 3rd, 4th, or dare I say 5th year of production.

Oh I don't know... Thousands... :-). Kids love aliens and monsters and there
are a lot of those in the cantina.
