Star Wars Black Series IMPERIAL ROCKET TROOPER (GameStop Exclusive) Gaming Greats 2021 figure review

[@tannerschannel1809]

I bought this figure 3 months ago at my local GameStop! Cool figure!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Definitely a cool figure! -Justin

[@_can_i_even_draw_2927]

The old storm trooper helmets always looked a bit off to me. At least the standard troopers but this guys helmet actually looks really nice for an older figure. After watching this might have to pick him up now

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah the original stormtrooper helmets were actually a bit inaccurate. The new stormtrooper in the Mandalorian packaging is way more accurate looking. However I would still say that the Sandtrooper has the most accurate representation! Thanks for watching, James. -Justin

[@_can_i_even_draw_2927]

Out of the Basement yeah def in size proportion. If only the need mold was a bit bigger

[@nateshupp8337]

Ah yes, the rocket trooper without a rocket launcher

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Classic Hasbro!

[@-bananabread]

The air tubes can be taken off but you have to take it off of the backpack

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Oh nice! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin

[@infernal27]

He’s very easily found for me I saw like 5 or 6 at my local EB games

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That’s awesome, Infernal! Thanks for checking out the review. 👍🏻 -Justin

[@isaacortiz5463]

Man he looks good:) thanks for the review bud! Stay Blessed!!!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

He does look good! Thanks for checking it out, Isaac. Appreciate ya! -Justin

[@colonel_angus]

Hey Nate, great review. I did see on another review of this figure that the hoses do unplug from the jet pack. I haven’t tried it with mine yet so not sure how firmly they’re attached. Also, did you see the new Gaming Greats Zaalbar from KOTOR?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Hmmm, I’ve never tried it from the backpack. I’ll have to see when I get home! Of course I saw Big Z! I’m hyped, idc about the reuse! Thanks as always for watching, Mark! -Nate

[@bobafred4978]

I’ll buy any trooper, but a rocket trooper needs a rocket launcher.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Very true, I think it was just an excuse to make it a Gaming Greats since they added that design from the Rebels series where they just have the regular E-11 blasters into Battlefront II but made it the rocket trooper. Thanks for checking out the review, MKF! -Justin

[@jpersaud5915]

Hmmm, what really is the difference between the jump trooper and a rocket trooper in the Star Wars universe? Thanks for the review though.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Same exact figure but different ranking! This is essentially the grunt jumptrooper from Rebels but since it's also in Battlefront II, it was an excuse to make it a Gaming Greats. Thanks for watching, J! -Justin

[@bobavader1862]

I wonder if Hasbro changed the name of the figure just so we end up buying virtually the same figure again, maybe?Still, its a nice looking figure and a worthy pick up.Awesome review Nate😎

[@TheTarheel757]

That's exactly what I was thinking since I already have 2 GL Rocket troopers

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I’m thinking that’s the case! Or they wanted to be able to call it a “gaming greats” so they changed it to the BF2 in game name but didn’t bother giving us the rocket. Either way I agree and I’m still happy to have it! Thanks as always for watching! -Nate

[@richardtruxell6359]

Was on the fence forever on this one. This review, and a $19.99 sale changed that.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice! Glad we were able to help you make a decision. Thanks for checking out the review! -Justin

[@larryverner]

Good review, I had this on preorder but cancelled it, now I'm regretting that cause it looks awesome. Quick question. What blast effect are you using on the blasters? Whatever it is it looks great!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks Larry! It is the effect piece from the Disney Store/GameStop exclusive battle damaged storm trooper with blast effects. -Nate

[@larryverner]

@@OutOfTheBasement cool, tthanks I'll try to find them.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

They were fairly common at one point but they may be hard to find these days. -Justin

[@eddiegv45]

Ah good ol’ rickets legs is back! Side note- I do love the color of the gaming greats lineup!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Gotta love the bow legs of the original stormtrooper body! Thanks for checking it out, Eddie. -Justin

[@chosen-wan2188]

Nate Justin did you guys notice that CrossHairs Helmet does not have the Circle and a dot on the eye of the Helmet Hasbro made a mistake

[@OutOfTheBasement]

On the new one announced today? Or are you talking about the Bad Batch version that is already out? -Justin

[@chosen-wan2188]

The Version that is already out

[@chosen-wan2188]

Hasbro is gonna redo CrossHair?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I do not think they would redo Crosshair. -Justin

[@Archer_Rico]

Where are the blaster effects from

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That effect is from the Disney store/ GameStop exclusive Stormtrooper with Blast effects! Great set! -Nate

[@Micthed1c]

My rocket trooper has lighter grey tubing in the helmet. Possible variant?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Could be? Probably an error at the least. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@DarthEducator]

Great Review!! Mine came in today! I really like it! Looking forward to the next one!!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks homie! Appreciate you watching! -Nate

[@DarthEducator]

@@OutOfTheBasement Looking forward to a Frankenstein review!! Along with all the new black series of course!!

[@TBgunsandbutter]

bought my first Jump Trooper about 15 years ago !

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice! -Justin

[@rileycr0552]

Happy to have this figure but man I left EB games feeling bad about the price I paid.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Same Riley, I’m sure it was worse for you but it was like $34 for this figure with shipping! -Nate

[@rileycr0552]

@@OutOfTheBasement Mine was $43 CAD no shipping. Honestly one of the first times I felt bad about a figure I still like overall. Just straight up not worth it!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah I mean for literally just the rank paint being different...I don't know about all that! -Justin

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

So apparently this figure is now sold out. Based on your extensive Black Series collecting experience, how likely do you guys think it is that Gamestop will restock this figure? I would still like to get one, but I do not think this figure is worth paying scalper prices on Amazon or eBay.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

GameStop is usually pretty good at actually stocking their exclusives. That being said I would honestly try hunting in stores we just had someone in the Discord find one! Thanks for watching, Daniel. -Justin

[@davidedge2828]

Solid review as usual Termi-Nate-tor! Always appreciated. Just opened my Gam guard. He's so fat and funny! I think he has definitely invaded my all time top 10.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Gam Guard is so good! Sometimes it’s hard to believe how much effort Hasbro put into that guy. Thanks for watching David! -Nate

[@davidedge2828]

@@OutOfTheBasement No worries. Always a pleasure brother!

[@60ssuperman12]

half clone half stormtrooper armor and helmet

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I honestly don't think this uses any clone trooper mold. Thanks for checking out the review! -Justin

[@Caseshells123]

Sold out have to wait for the restock if I get it

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I can’t believe he sold out! Hopefully there will be a restock. Thanks for watching, Thomas. -Nate

[@seburcollector]

Hey guys great video

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking it out, Sebur! -Justin

[@restock_1731]

It's a nice looking figure, but nothing I would go out a grab fast. I've never played the games, so maybe that's why. As always, great review!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah there’s no reason to rush to get it although believe it or not, it is sold out on the website. I didn’t see that coming. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@restock_1731]

Must be people gotta get everything put out, even if it's a rehash of the same figure. Lol.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Troopers always sell! -Justin

[@petepoo8916]

Is his backpack supposed to come off

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah it just pegs in and out! -Justin

[@aDudesNerdery]

I missed this figure, hope to find it in store 🤞🤞

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you Dude! -Nate

[@iamme3364]

DUDE. Same. Hasbro needs to stop doing these store exclusives. There is no GameStop within 15 miles of me and when I finally got to one it was sold out.

[@aDudesNerdery]

@@iamme3364 yes, store exclusives are terrible for consumers

[@jeditrek]

Nice review. I like this figure. 👍

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@pitied3744]

honestly i think this trooper being skinny makes sense due to the in game trooper being female

[@goldenpro1096]

great review thanks

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Appreciate you checking it out, goldenpro10! -Justin

[@Fig_Fury]

I skipped this guy just because i recently found 2 of the jump troopers in clearance. Good review Nate👍

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Those were some nice discounted pickups though! Thanks for checking out the review, Fury. 👍🏻 -Justin

[@Fig_Fury]

@@OutOfTheBasement Agree, Anytime we can find troopers on clearance is a win against the "EMPIRE" 😂🍻

[@OutOfTheBasement]

You can never have enough troopers! -Justin

[@saintjamesmodernart]

👍👍 James 😁

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for watching James! -Nate

[@BarakatheCollector]

I picked him up and he's not bad at all, just compared to all the figures we are getting right now like Wrecker, The clone wars exclusives, the comic wave and the upcoming waves with koska and tech, this figure is a little unimaginative, dare I say boring, even.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Exactly, bad time for this figure to come out! Thanks for watching Baraka! -Nate

[@frobafett]

Higher price / less paint 🤔

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Makes you wonder! Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@ZeroB4NG]

THEY FLY NOW!... *cough* ... i watched a gameplay video, yepp, this guy absolutely should have a rocket launcher, he has one in the game... i think we have enough Stormtrooper Variations with E-11 blasters and similar, i would take every chance to get troopers with new or different weapons... not giving him the rocket launcher is just... lame. i... don't really need that one, especially not with the old Stormtrooper mold and since i just started collecting i might just stick to the new stuff. ...my 2 cents

[@OutOfTheBasement]

He certainly should have came with the rocket launcher since they wanna market it as a Battlefront II Gaming Greats. To be fair though, the design is from Star Wars Rebels where they just have the regular E-11 blasters. Thanks for checking out the review, ZeroB4NG! -Justin

[@Dandy1981]

Gaming greats seems to be real hits or big misses. Not much middle ground or maybe it's just me

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah Gaming Greats is definitely maximum reuse and minimum new. Thanks for checking out the review! -Justin
