I hope not. That's too cool to be stuck with a vehicle.

True, the skull version that's shown there might also be one of the guys from the Bucks team they showed off. It certainly looks more individualized than the Agurts and Sol Commander figs.

I think Kit confirmed it as the Raptor pilot.

The skull paint I can replicate no problem, but i really like the helmet, too.

I though that guy had the same vest as the Sol Commander but it's a new vest too.

I'm finally opening my AR figs from BBTS. The packaging is so awesome on the single figs! It makes me not want to even open them lol.

BBTS also threw in this really cool art book!

I got the 2 pack a couple days ago and they are sweet! The book is very cool, I wasn't expecting that at all.

I don't think they've shown any- I remember somewhere in the fluff there are some airborne troops- I'd imagine they have to get "airborne" somehow

That would be the "Airborne" Laurel variant. The sketch definitely depicted it parachuting in.

I don't like flying vehicles 'cause I don't know how to utilize them in photos, but I realize I'm in the minority.

Funny, I would have thought you'd been up to the challenge aircraft photos pose.

Here's a few guys I'm gearing up for a vehicle I built awhile back, I used Team Bravo gear, some WWII gear, no painting necessary as the gear would be weathered and I think random, just need better weapons assortment, I love these figs, still waiting for the Agurts figs, any ideas on weapons from the experts here would be much appreciated thanks !

WWII-inspired/based vehicle crew? M3s, or Thompson M1928A1s/M1s with the stock removed. While useless as an actual accessory, 21st Century Toy's paratrooper variant M1 carbines (folded wire stocks) would probably be feasible as vehicle crew weapons.

Got my Stronghold and Speeder today from BBTS and I have to say, these might be the coolest toys I've ever owned. Am I wrong for thinking they are cooler in vehicle mode than robot mode tho? I'm not crazy about the robot modes for these.

I can't say I find the BotModes very interesting, either.

I prefer the 'bot mode for Stronghold, albeit barely. Based only on photos, though, yeah, I prefer the Speeder's vehicle mode, although there's something almost catch-as-catch-can and DIY about its 'bot mode that strikes me as more realistic somehow than a typical Transformer.

How long before these things are available from Big Bad Toy Scalpers? I've got to WWII-ize this one.
