I would be tempted if I found one below retail. But if I were to get one, I'd most prefer the unreleased grunt Shoretrooper -- no PT paintwork.
Most of all I still hold out hope for the Tank Trooper. I want that like I want Krennic.

With the convention season coming up, it's possible HT makes the Tank Trooper a convention exclusive. HT already went through the trouble of making that unique helmet for it so I can't see why they won't make it available, it's already fully developed.
There's also some version of it in Solo if the toys are any indication... so reuse wins the day again.

Do they even do convention exclusives for Hot Toys any more ? Can't understand why they would go to the extent of making a figure only to sell to a limited amount of people when the whole world market is there wanting to buy it ??

Convention exclusive would by great. Really want that guy.
I don’t think convention exclusives are all that “exclusive”. Usually easily attainable.
Edit: Secondary market aside.

Other than the exclusives to Sideshow and the like (Stormtrooper disguise Han) they did do five exclusive figures last year which were referred to as Toy Fair exclusives for the SDCC, and the Singapore Toy Show; Shades Iron Man, Retro Bones Iron Man, Battle Damaged Armored Batman, Roadworn Thor, and Ghost Rider. SW isn't excluded because they also did the Battlefront Jumptrooper as a 2016 Toy Fair exclusive. So It's likely they will do the same this year.
And as D.R.37 pointed out, they're not that hard to get when they're first available, just think of them as any of the other HT exclusive with a different title. You can right now still buy the Jumptrooper from Popcultcha for below retail price.

Ok fair enough. I just couldn't remember any figure where I thought I wish I could have got him but was only available at a con.
When is the first con actually ? I'm thinking they'll need to do a mall pop up store or something for Solo and the others. All the movies will be out by SDCC.

I believe HT starts announcing Toy Fair exclusives around this time of year before SDCC.

SDCC is in July though. Anyway guess there will be a break in announcements for a good week now until Chinese New Year is over.

Ok ladies and gentlemen... I’m on the waitlist for Jyn Deluxe and K2SO. What are my chances?
3,720 to 1. The same odds as successfully navigating an asteroid field.

Jyn deluxe is still available over at BBTS- great service, great reputation.
Yeah, pretty sure there are still places to get either of these at retail price from reputable stores (and likely cheaper than SS) if you really want them.

Popcultcha in Australia still have both of these in stock. K2 is slightly discounted.
I got K2 as my waitlist activated but I was sat the "list" for a couple of weeks. (So glad he's &£$%~* superb!!)
I only received K2 last Friday and I would think your chances of landing Jyn are good as she went to W.L. after K2.
