Forest westly Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Somehow a new variant of an existing rare trooper with new prints on the legs and torso along with a new color of kama is more generic then a background astromech that's been using the exact same 2 prints in different colors for over five years.

jdubbs Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Interesting that a nameplate stand comes with this polybag too... I had assumed it was particular to a new series of astromec polybags. I gather we can expect a stand with every promotional minifig moving forward... Quote
RetroInferno Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Erm I'm really hoping this finds its way on the official lego online shop; R3-M2 is still illusive for NA. Quote

Problem? You underestimate not only people from the 21st century but also how to propagate sarcasm properly. No offense but the user who called you out rightfully did so as you did not come off as sarcastic in anyway. Now stay on topic Quote

Problem? lol, well I assumed that I was some SW quote, and I must say, despite how much time I actually spend on SW related issues, I've probably not seen any of the movies more than five times each, so my SW quoting skills are pretty deficit...

The intended user was correct in that it was SW related and the main point was about the Scarif Captain. As you can tell I'm an Imperial fan and that's a common insult to describe Rebels and Pirates. Move along now.

Do we have a release date for this figure? Edited May 24, 2017 by Helghan Quote

Are they not on the Lego bricks and pieces site in America like they are in Europe? I bought 2 heads and a spare body to mix and match with other droids. If they aren't, it would seem odd that Lego is willing to sell so many of the figures cheaply to one part of the world but not release it in another region.

I saw an obscure toys r us add that it was a give away with 40$ purchase on Star Wars lego that lasts a week ( ending may 25th ) in Canada. I visited my local store and they didn't had any. In the US I believe you could get them at Lego Land. That hardly sounds widely available in NA, I'm gonna wait and see... Quote

They have both been available on the US store for a few days now at least. Body is 63¢ and the head is 46¢. Just search 40268 and the parts for the polybag will pop up.

Bricks and pieces to the rescue and no need to pay silly eBay prices for our friends across the pond.

Pictures were up on Facebook. Will try to find it. You mean Shoretrooper Squad Leader? He's been floating around for a few day now. Cool minifigure, finally Lego will release all Shoretrooper variations! Quote
Mamma Mia Bricks Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I saw the Scarif Trooper Polybag and I can't see any difference with the one that came in the Tie Striker set apart from the brown kama. Anyone can help a brother out here and point the differences in printing? Quote

Mamma Mia Bricks Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Oh I see! Was hoping for a bit of reddish brown on his chest over the sand blue but hey, better than nothing! Quote
That Orange Thing Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I believe the chest printing is different too. This new trooper has a thinner blue band across the top rather than a completely blue chest plate like the old one? Quote

Savage Oppress Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Does it feel like LEGO is making their sets simpler in terms of set design for the younger Lego fans, because there's no cool set designs to display in the Summer wave, only smaller sets. Edited May 25, 2017 by Savage Oppress Quote
