BBTS surprised me with a $400 charge for the two pack today and it is shipping out.... Guess I missed the ten day notification..... they sure can send those notifications out for a $10 funko though.....

Already had a PF and three figures charging within two weeks and now this......

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I got surprised with the charge for the two pack. I wish BBTS would do like SS and give customers a heads up. You never hear anything untl they charge you. From now on all of my pre orders will be back at SS. If I order from BBTS it will be for in stock items so there are no surprises.

For these troopers heat up the arms / shoulder / elbows with a hair dryer for a few seconds...the suit becomes much more poseable, when they cool they stay posed.
 
Got my set today and they look great, but their pose-ability is limited. I didn't have too much trouble with the regular stormtrooper, but couldn't get the heavy gunner in a pose I was happy with, so I just have the gun next to him and have him holding the smaller gun. Really wish I could get the Jakku exclusive blaster to go with him. Now just have to wait for Kylo Ren to arrive.
 
Just remove the fat suit underneath.... it makes a big difference in my opinion. First thing I will be doing when I get my two pack is that.

How does the chest armor open? Is there a velcro tab like the Stormtroopers?

No. It opens from the side. It is glued on via a black strip of a plastic like material. One on each side. I actually had to cut through one side to remove mine because it wouldn't budge, but if the glue is not that strong it comes apart quite easily. Here is a picture in the thread of what I mean....

Heavy trooper set arrived this afternoon :)
Very happy with these (may not keep my squad leader as I'm not sure I need them all and I want the Finn 2 pack)
Only issue is a big splodge of glue on the front of the large blaster - if anyone knows how to remove glue let me know

Got mine today. They are pretty great. I removed the fat-suit on the Heavy Gunner and it makes all the difference. Lots of possibilities in regards to posing him now. It is interesting that the material to hold the armor together on these regulars to the squad leaders are different. On these, the black strip holding the armor is more flimsy and weaker. Plus these guys have elbow pads on each elbow that really restricts the movement it seems. The squad leader did not have these elbow pads.
 
I was going to buy the set but if i ever wanted to resale it would probably be easier to have separate figures no?
 
These are some beautiful pictures guys! I can't make mind up between the heavy gunner and the Jakku exclusive....so many troopers coming out.
