No plans up to wave 3 for another Sandtrooper tho.

Yeah, I've been exclusive to Transformers myself, but this SW 6" line caused me to break out. It also made me pick up the Marvel Legends line that rebooted last year (I'm still hunting down variants).

I'm still figuring how many 'troopers to buy of each type for a reasonable presentation of each. I'm thinking 3 Sandtroopers and 6 Stormtroopers. But again, I'm still educating myself. I had no idea the orange 'pauldron' thing represented rank at first. Then I start pecking around on other forums and realize how varied these guys are. Evidently there are quite a few differences in the armor between Sandtroopers & Strormtroopers beyond pauldrons and being sandy looking.
