Yeah, the Legions Troopers aren't nearly as common on eBay as they were a few months ago, but that's the only Trooper I'm still gathering. Of course, if I happen to stumble upon Legions packs myself while I'm out and about, leaving them behind might be a different story.

Of course, if Hasbro would just release army builder packs of red-sigil Troopers, Legions Troopers, Stinger Drivers, Air Troopers, Crimson Guards, Vipers, H.I.S.S. Drivers, and B.A.T.s, there would be no discussion. But hey, Night Watch Troopers, right?

Night Watch troopers, indeed. I have looked at, and dismissed, at least 5 of those packs.

I'm sure eventually we'll see a B.A.T. pack and there is the rumored Crimson Guard Pack from TRU.

When B.A.T.s come out, given the way people have been talking about army building them, I fully expect there to be blood in the aisles. Personally, I'll be happy with 2-4.

Yes, the B.A.T. is cool, and all, but I don't need an entire battalion of them.

I agrree, releasing that legions pack with CC and Storm Shadow was a HUGE mistake by Hasbro. If it was an ALL troop builder 5-pack, instead of 3 out of 5, it would have been an instant cash cow for Hasbro.

Interesting. I'm a transplant, like almost everyone else who lives here now, but I first moved here in '84. Looking forward to those Troopers!

I have to think they have some kind of plan for something like this in the future. Considering they already have the tools, they've already made most of the investment. But again, they put out Night Watch Troopers. I don't get it.

Then there's that mysterious ToysRUs Crimson Guard 5-pack that was presold on their website.

I want as many red logo Cobra Troopers as I can get, but right now I only have four (I also have three silver logo ones, but I find them strangely dull). The red logo troops are the backbone of my army and I love their 'simplicity' over the more contrived Vipers. Can't really see me picking any more up any time soon (unless Hasbro do release them single carded)
