Yeah, he looks very McQuarrie - not a bad thing though.
Are there any parts usable to harvest for a Snowtrooper Commander?

I love those McQuarrie concept designs. Anything from that is a win to me...
Looks to me like it just needs the standard backpack, a blaster/holster, and ORT's head cast.
I might get 3 of these. 1 to upgrade my Snow Commander, and 2 to backup my custom flametrooper

Oh, what I'd do for a Mcquarrie(/Johnston) Boba Fett concept armor figure for this line...

Hah, I had not noticed the similarities. I guess this driver can be expected in the line.
im all in for anything fallen order. i feel like if sales remain strong for these J:FO releases, well creep towards getting better characters like Merrin, Taron, Jaro, Cere ninth sister, ETC, **** id even buy an Eno Cordoba
Hadn't thought of this as a figure I'd want from J:FO, but seeing it now, hot damn do I ever want it. (No pun intended.)
And though I might have unconsciously noticed the similarities while playing the game, it's cool to see that the Imperial Flametroopers are so closely related to the Snowtroopers. It makes sense: both are dealing with extreme environmental conditions around them and need extra protection.

I agree. This Flametrooper, the FO Flametrooper & the Incinerator Trooper from Mando, don't look anything alike. It'd be nice to see a little cohesion in the design progression.
Also the Flamethrower Snowtrooper from Star Wars Legion.
It's a weak defence, but the Incinerator Trooper is a design from 20 in-universe years after the J:FO Flametrooper, and the First Order Flametrooper is from 25 years after Mando. That's plenty of time for things to change.
But yeah, it's a shame we couldn't have just got the Mando Incinerator Troopers (which I think is a cooler design) in J:FO, but obviously that's because J:FO came out before the first episode was even released. Then again, given that design was based on TFU which J:FO already shares a ton with.... maybe a little bit of communication on what to reference would have been good.
Maybe someone can answer a question for me, as I haven't played Jedi: Fallen Order. In what sort of environments do these Flametroopers appear in the game?
I ask because I figured the Flametroopers were a variety of Snowtrooper (based on how they are dressed). I assumed that was why they differ from the Incinerator Trooper in The Mandalorian.
Anyway, I like the design and plan to buy a couple of these. However, would it have bankrupted Hasbro to give us a flame effect for this figure, as they did for the Incinerator Trooper?

Yup...can’t preorder.
Still waiting....
Up now!
edit: Oof, $27 for an exclusive, plus the $6 shipping...an expensive figure, I ordered, but will consider whether I want to spend that money on a random trooper.

Be careful the Nightbrother ships 9/1 while the Flametrooper is 8/1.
I ordered separately to avoid any backup.

I did the same thing..
Got it.
Always! It sets the address to the place in Texas that, I assume, is their corporate offices...and I have to remember to change to my actual house lest Gamestop ship my toys to themselves.

I know not everyone can, or would want to do it, but I've found it well worth getting two or three of everything. It helps ensure I get one mint, and I can almost always find someone who wants the extra in my family, local collecting group, or even Ebay. Worst case, on a couple occasions I've had to return a figure in-store. It sure beats paying shipping on a single figure imo.
At least when you order two, there's "free" shipping...

That's what I meant, if I have to shell out $5 or $6 shipping for a single figure, might as well put that towards a second or third figure to get the free shipping. The extras are fairly easy to offload. Which, reminds me, I need to open a Classifieds thread on here at some point.
If the link doesn’t work use the app.

yes, space really gets sucked up with 6 inch Black Series boxes for me.

I totally agree. This figure should have included some kind of flame effect. I guess Hasbro was being cheap again.
Me as well, but I did the opposite...passed on the Nightbrother, but picked up the Flametrooper.
Despite my casual interest in this due to its McQuarriness, $26.99 is a definite dealbreaker. Even if it goes on sale, we'll be lucky if it dips down to $22.99. All you overseas collectors are smirking at this, I know... 
And they even have a helmet for the figure already too.
I wasn't going to order the Flametrooper because of the price hike. However, I thought about it and decided that it was better to pre-order him and regret it after, than to not pre-order him and regret it after.
Looks like the release date got pushed back. They were slated to ship on 6/21 and now they scheduled for 6/29.
