Title: EU - STORM COMMANDO & GENERAL WEIR
Post by: droidbait on February 18, 2010, 01:33:12 AM

I was looking on rebelscum and they just put this on their homepage and i thought u guys might like these stormtroopers :D

General Weir launches a counter-rebellion after the Battle of Endor to undermine the Rebel Alliance. The Imperial general discovers that Luke Skywalker is in the city of Coronet and, with his stormtroopers and storm commandos, goes after the Rebel hero.

Storm Commando is a repaint of 2006's VTSC Biker Scout.
General Weir is a kit-bash repaint of the figure from 2008's TLC Shield Generator Assault Battle Pack, with a new head and bandolier.

Cool looking figures, but I'm gonna pass.  More and more, I'll be sticking to OT specific characters.

Definitely gotta get those cuz it's a tie for my favorite stormtrooper design. Biker scout/Imperial guard. I always loved the biker scout's pistol. I always wanted the one they released in '83.

I found this pack at my Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago.  It looked, uh, interesting.  I didn't really fall in love with the look of Weir, but it is just a comic pack, and I didn't actually buy it.  Maybe I'll get it sometime, though.

I only want the General Weir so if anyone is going to buy one for the Biker Scout only let me know and I will take General Weir of your hands.

I picked these up over the weekend and was glad to have gotten them.
I liked the story ever since reading the comic a bit ago and having the figs to go with the story makes it so much better.
I just think they ought to have used a slightly different not so shiny paint scheme...
And both figs having removable helmets or a flip up helm on the trooper would have made them that much better.
None the less i am happy with them and might even pick up more in the future.
Great pics and nice review.
