Tamer:
I was just sent this by Sjefke. Its a great price for army builders:

You can get 10 stormies or 10 clones or you can do a lot of 5 stormies and 5 clones.

These two listings must be new, haven't seen them before. No waist articulation on the Stormtroopers is unfortunate, but I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the link and shoutout to Sjefke!
Update: Just bought the set with 5 of each for $43.99 using the affiliate ink you provided.
Expected delivery is December 20, 2020, but it usually takes 2 weeks or less. The exchange rate of PayPal is 1.13 at the moment - not bad. I'm curious to see the quality of them. Doubt they're authentic, but I'll use them for some customs. Thanks again!
Tamer:
Cool deal, let us know what you find out with this lot when they arrive. They seem to be perfect for army builders.
Darth More:
Most likely no official figures, but excellent custom fodder...
My order arrived yesterday and the quality of the figures does not disappoint!
Here's the lot of 10 troopers (5 of each), which I ordered on September 21, 2020. As many times before, it (only) took 9 days 'til they arrived in Germany. The date stamps on each figure's feet say
2008 Hasbro LFL CHINA.
They came in the usual plastic envelope/folded plastic bag, which I didn't take a picture of:
I'm positively surprised by the detail between the torso armor and underneath the upper arm.
Clone Trooper
The plastic of these figures is bright white, glossy and softer than Hasbro's versions. The softness is most noticeable on their hands, but it brings the advantage that blasters can be added easier.
Unlike the Stormtroopers these Clone Troopers have a ball-jointed torso/waist.
The joints are not tight, but also not loose. But they probably will become loose when swiveled and moved redundantly. My samples are definitely more loose than authentic/licensed TCW Clone Troopers. The reason for this could again be the softer material (PVC).
Articulation:
Head: ball-socket
Shoulder: ball-hinged
Elbow: ball-hinged
Hand: swivel
Torso: ball-joint
Hip: swivel
Knee: ball-hinged
Ankle: ball-hinged
Stormtrooper
The plastic is white, but not as bright as the Clone Troopers. They don't appear yellow (yet), but are more mat and of a flatter white (some grey/yellow-ish in there). There's no articulation in the waist. The belt is glued on, no glue visible, some belts are a little crooked though. Attached to the belt is a black pouch, which I didn't know before - no holsters!. The joints are tighter than the ones of the Clones. On the back you can see a slot where a (Sandtrooper) backpack can be attached.
So might these in fact be some incomplete Sandtroopers?
I have yet to find out, on which version of Hasbro's Stormtroopers/Sandtroopers this one is based.
The date stamp of 2008 doesn't fit any official Stormtrooper release. So they might be a kit-bash based on 2004's OTC Stormtrooper. The glued belt might hinder the swivel waist.
Articulation:
Head: ball-socket
Shoulder: ball-hinged
Elbow: ball-hinged
Hand: swivel
Torso: none (probably glued swivel)
Hip: swivel
Knee: ball-hinged
Ankle: ball-hinged
Blasters
Both versions of troops come with an E-11 Baster. As far as I can tell, this E-11 is based on the one that came with the 2006 TSC Sand- & Stormtrooper figures. Unlike similar previous blaster rifles, the plastic of these E-11 blasters is soft and bendable! Details are molded nice and accurately.
Side-note: I always open shipments from overseas with gloves. The items are often dusty and even a little greasy. These figures don't smell like Hasbro's figures. The date stamp of 2008 doesn't fit any official Stormtrooper release. So they might be a kit-bash based on 2004's OTC Stormtrooper. The glued belt might hinder the swivel waist.
I have no info of where these units come from, but I suppose they were pressed in the metal molds produced for Hasbro back in the day. The plastic varies from the material used for Hasbro's commission.
The (black) paint is applied decently. I'd give the paintwork a B to C.
All pictures were taken before I washed the figures.
Again, a big shout out goes to forum member Sjefke for the hint! Thank you for making us aware of this new offer!
Tamer:
