I heard that you were able to purchase it via loungefly during the convention. Can anyone confirm?

i've heard several reports that if you bought a $70 bag or something they also got the sith trooper, they sold out quickly

People are going crazy over this one. I am a Star Wars fan so I am too. But it is going to be a common when the Rise Of Skywalker line comes out. So I don't care if I get it or not.

Confirmed. I was able to get one although the Loungefly booth was crazy once the word got out. This pop was a total must for me. So happy I didn't need to go to ebay.

Damn. Do you remember what day this was? I didn't hear about it until Friday or so.

Lucked out. I wish I knew.

Glad I was able to grab one during preview night, but crazy to see the demand and price for it. I tried explaining to a few people that it was just a debut but they weren’t understanding :/

Everyone said that about the 13th Doctor last year and she still hasn't been released. So I see why people are worried.

I heard about on Thrus but it was too late, was at the booth 1st thing Fri morning. Not sure if this offer was there on Sat or Sun

I believe it was, with a limit of 50 each day. Needless to say, it capped pretty quick. lol

I wanted this one, but I was unable to score it.

That's true! I still have my 13th Doctor from last year; that one was LE 1300...any idea on the quantity produced for the Sith Trooper?

Oh well. You win some you lose some.

It definitely sold out very quickly each morning. Must have had a pretty small run, but as other said being a "debut" it probably means more are coming so if stickers don't matter it should be much more attainable in the future and I'm guessing with any SW movie line will have another 3-4 variants with different weapons. Star Wars does such a good job marketing "cool looking" bad guys, only to make their actual screen time insigifnicant. Yet we fall for it EVERY TIME!!!

Postby **mnkykng77** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:09 pm

I was hoping a buddy of mine copped this for me but wasn't able to. Will this be a general release or a specific store release?

Postby **MONSTER** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:11 pm

This was the one I wanted most at SDCC. Unfortunately it didn't happen.

Postby **Geescube** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:40 pm

swing and a miss for me too. So sad. They were gone very very fast for the two days i was in attendance at the con.

Postby **FunkoFresh253** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:46 pm

scored one at loungefly. by far the best quality box ive ever seen for a pop. also a nice backcard insert. overall just a solid piece to my collection, hopefully theyll release the same quality box for the later release for you guys all to enjoy.

Postby **lavery01** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:47 pm

Wasn’t on my list to get because we stop collecting the SW line for now, but I must admit the popularity of it made me look at it twice, it does look cool. lol

Postby **pandapop88** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 9:50 pm

The only reason I want the sith is because I need a red partner for my red stormtrooper from target :P

Postby **Tynett** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 10:02 pm

I missed on this one too and SW is a majority of my collection but alas it was not meant to be, haha!

Postby **asiantonystark** » Wed Jul 24, 2019 10:17 pm

No doubt about it, the Sith Trooper was the hottest item at the booth this year. We were fortunate to get in to the booth before 10 AM on Friday and it was already sold out by that time.

Same here. Can't win them all I guess lol

I got one on Preview Night for my friend. Once I saw it in person I knew I had to have it! But it sold out too quickly at both booths...

I was gonna comment the same thing dr who 13th doctor was 1st to debut and it turned out it was a different variant from the one that came out later maybe the sith trooper will be the same

Postby **JediMike1128** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 1:16 am

Such a cool POP! I'm sure the other version out later this year will have a different pose/weapon.

Postby **digithor** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 2:05 am

That is very possible, I'll be happy either way when the common comes out.

Yes it was very popular. Someone had told me that if you bought a Loungefly Bag over 70 bucks you had a chance to get the pop for 5 bucks. Not sure how true that was.Washington

I haven't heard any numbers. I feel like they tell people the #'s less now to discourage huge price jumps on the aftermarket sales. That could just be my wishful thinking though.

I heard that too, which makes perfect sense as to why it sold out at the Funko booth prior to the 2 LE1000's every day. I was under the impression that the Loungefly booth didn't have a huge stock. I wasn't interested in the bag but, shoot, considering the demand, it may have been worth it to get the back/pop anyway.

I was wondering all weekend how people got them ](*,)

Postby **DivineWarrior** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 11:33 am

Had i been there I would've dropped money on the Slinky bag for my wife just to get Sith. It's no different then paying aftermarket prices and getting 2 items!!! Then both my wife and I would be happy...

Postby **mongoose12** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 11:38 am

i tried to snag one on saturday and took the L...just have to wait for the general release at this point.

Postby **kdmlvr** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 11:49 am

my husband picked this up at loungefly

Are you able to confirm; The bag was $70 and then if you wanted the Pop it was an additional $5?
Do you have any idea on the quantity that Loungefly had?

Postby **islander671** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 12:16 pm

I had seen the photos and felt that I needed to see this in person. I picked one up and was blown away by all the details, strong and distinctive lines, the Red just popped, box with its gold lettering was a nice touch as well, overall it is just an amazing piece. Mine will not be sold but displayed the way it should be and happy that I went with my gut to pick one up.

Postby **CrushMcLovin** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 2:05 pm

Sad I missed out on this one, but hoping it actually does release later. Hopefully it isnt like the 13th Doctor where they change the look for public release.

Funko did release a different version of the 13th doctor so I think the pre-release one is never coming out. But I think the sith trooper is going to be the same thing.

Another one I missed out on. But in the end, I’m still happy with the ones I was able to get.

Postby **Typale** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 6:35 pm

For some reason I completely missed this one. Sad times.
