Sideshow’s 12-inch Sandtrooper

Not only have I received notice that my 12-inch Sandtrooper action figure is shipping soon from Sideshow Collectibles (I pre-ordered this guy many months ago), but now they’re taunting everyone who reads their newsletter.

“‘Star Wars’ fans rejoice, the Sandtrooper 1/6 figure you’ve been waiting for is nearly here! The Sandtrooper Squad Leader 12-inch Figure, which features the orange pauldron will be available for Pre-Order with the launch of our Thursday newsletter on October 15th! While you wait, a preview of this highly anticipated collectible can be viewed with a click of the mouse! And make sure you’re in front of your computer next week to ensure this loyal Imperial soldier will be a part of your collection! “

So it’s not the same as the Sandtrooper I’m getting but, instead, it’s the Squad Leader. This just isn’t fair, guys.
