Good looking miniatures! Which set is the sandtrooper in? There are various available on the net, but I can't find that one?

OK its 'Desert Escape' and its...not easy to get hold of or as cheap in the UK compared to the others!

Asda in the UK have them reduced in store at 20% or so off at the moment. Also online

it's still not 50 figures for ten dollars - think the brother in law might be getting some unexpected packages - if toys r us will let me pay from the UK and ship to an US address

That sandtrooper conversion is really great.
Could also be an exiled trooper going on some bounty hunting

Thanks, I was thinking more like a veteran of the Jedi temple battle.

My sandtroopers came from two different sets, Desert Escape and Sandtrooper Strike.

The box is pretty light. If you're willing to pay cost + postage I might be persuaded too help a fellow gamer out.

Thanks for the info Carpet General

Sadly the ebay price hikers have started to buy up these sets (£22.00 for Desert Escape anyone!!) but if people do a bit of searching, they can still be had for a more usual 4.99 for the small figure sets.

Very nice converting and painting. They are a real treat.

The conversion is really nice. I love this guy's back story, as you told it on your blog. I think my favorite paint job of the four is the trooper with the black shoulder pad thing. The precise highlight on the ammo belt and limited colors so look right for Star Wars.

Very nice and gritty and good that they finally seem to have found the droid they were looking for.

It annoys me a bit that all the troopers apparently are lefthanded however. But that might just be me.

doomsdave - apologies, I missed this - I'd love to work something out - I don't even need the box so it could be split down - I'll PM you later

amazing painting! Really sold the figs for me - be good for some RPG action

Really nice work with these figures!

For those interested in the 54mm figs and X-wing possibilities. The $100 dollar set is now $50 and has 4 xwings a Tie Advanced and 4 Tie fighters in addition to some vehicles, the 70+ figures including the original trilogy characters.

Interestingly, both this and the set that's $10 for 51 figs both have a note saying they are available for international shipping!

I don't do 54mm, but maybe my 4y.o. son needs his first minis...

Give Star Wars toys to your children, to play with!
What a ridiculous notion!

It is tempting, but I've still got all my old star wars (and Exo Squad, and GI Joe…) action figures in a box waiting for them. I think I'll probably skip these figs and just get out the action figures in a year or two.
