I'm not a "Star Wars guy" and I know jack shit about the "ep2 clone" trooper. I hate clone troopers though and I know a couple of years ago I was buying clone troopers cheap from China just for their hands for customs. If you say this "ep2" clone trooper will be a super-awesome seller, then I'll take your word for it. It looks like a waste of plastic to me, but we'll see.
My instinctive reaction? I expect the storm troopers to get wiped out immediately whenever a case is opened, despite the "dirty" look. Mando will be hard to find as well, at least at first. Cara Dune will always be around. My gut always tends toward clones being undesired as well, but I'll be nothing but pleased to be proven wrong about this. Bottom line, I think if this case assortment isn't just introductory, there will be glut with an even-packed case ratio. Cara Dune will definitely be a problem, and now you have me wondering about whether or not the clone trooper will be as well. Hopefully not. Agreed! I think Clone Wars animated series versions might sell well. They were beloved in the cartoon, but the movie based Clone Troopers, like the prequels themselves, were never anything I was ever interested in. Only thing I am not sure on is Cara. She did sell out a couple of times on HP and BBTS before they must had gotten approved for more orders. But I’m not sure if she sold out so fast because the cases had less of her vs Mando or if she was close in popularity (the figure not the character). The Cara figure is an impressive piece. I had a hard time believing she was not a Black Series Figure when I read the first posts about her. I though the reports all had it wrong. For a 4” figure she looks great. The Storimes are a great update. I’d prefer more of the clean R1 releases. They should be evergreen on HP. I’d like to add to my numbers whenever I came into some extra cash. I’ ordered half a dozen dirty Mando Storimes but wouldn’t want as many as the clean ones. I think one figure that would sell out fast would be The Armorer. She was bad ass and had a great look to her. If the do her mantle in soft goods that will be one hit figure, Hopefully in wave two along with some other background Mandos.

I think one figure that will be very hard to find would be The Armorer. She was bad ass and had a great look to her. If the do her mantle in soft goods that will be one hit figure, If baby Yoda isn't eventually a pack-in accessory, how would they release him? If he ends up being a pack-in accessory, who would they pack him in with? Or would there be a boxed set?

Armorer would be cool to see happen. I'm curious at this point how they plan to work baby Yoda into the line (assuming they have any such plans, but....come on, how can they not?). It would have been best to include him and the little floating bassinet with Mando's grubby armor version like we're getting right now. Assuming they issue a Beskar steel Mando later on, the bassinet won't be relevant for that version of the figure so if baby Yoda is a pack-in accessory with Mando then there will never be any floating bassinet thingy, which would be a shame.
If baby Yoda isn't eventually a pack-in accessory, how would they release him?

Baby Yoda won't be complete without the bassinet though (with a stand and a clear plastic rod to make it "float"). Gotta have it somehow, wherever he gets released. EDIT: A thought just occurred to me... They could release The Armorer with the forge as a SDCC exclusive.

I prefer "shiny bastard" Mando so I'm hoping for a new sculpt for that (not a repaint). A baby Yoda packed-in would be great icing on the cake.
Ugh, I hope they don't do that. That would be pure evil. And I guarantee people would be stealing them from the boxes. No, this idea must be banished. Baby Yoda won't be complete without the bassinet though (with a stand and a clear plastic rod to make it "float"). Gotta have it somehow, wherever he gets released. I hope they don’t pack babes in with any big ticket item but you know they will. They will milk him for all the losses they have incurred in the Disney era. They might even pack him in with a Death Star set or Star Destroyer LoL. I’d buy it! Agreed, there had better be at least one release of babes with that bassinet and a clear stand. No matter what we get it’s nice to be excited about Star Wars again. I haven’t been excited for any content since Dark Empire (not much of an EU guy). Hasbro has done some exiting items over the past 20 years and that has kept me going, but it’s great to be excited over new content rather than just OT toys.

When someone gets Cara Dune, can you post a pic with her head on 50th Lady Jaye? I hope her head is in scale with the Joe bucks!!!

I've only seen 1 Luke & he had bad face paint apps. What is the point of photo-realistic faces when the paint looks off center or smudged? I saw a few Poes like that too.

This Clone Trooper probably will sell well as he has updated legs. The legs on the previous version were the only reason the last ones didn't sell as well. They're are plenty of folks out they're with Clone Armies with literally 200+ plus clones, and the Prequels have had a resurgence in popularity so I have no doubt the Clone will sell well.
