Trooper sets questions

[Emperor Howdy]

Ok. I'm pretty good about keeping up with the latest news.....


Well, I'm no JarJarBinks mind you, but hey.....


Aaaaanyway....moving along.....


I'm a little confused. First the Stormtrooper Troop Builder set. Cool. Bought it. Got it. Weeee!

Then the Endor Troop Builder set. Cool. Would buy it, but it seems only web-stores have it for now. Fine.


But then I hear EE has Sandtrooper and Rebel Blockade Trooper Troop Troopidy Troops Troopisimo Trooperama Tro........(err....sorry....I get distracted easily......moving along...) So, I go to EE and sure enough, there they are.

SO, my questions are:

When did these come about (or were officially announced)......*referring to the Sand./Rebel Block. sets?

Has the Fan Club cancelled the Endor set, and you can only get them from online dealers?

Are the Sandtrooper and Rebel Block. sets official "real" Hasbro releases, or some lame concoction by EE or whoever, throwing four of the same (or slightly different) figs. in a mailer box? In other words, are these Hasbro sets or bootleg?

The Sandrooper set consists of repainted POTJ Tatooine Stormtroopers, with different coloured shoulder plates. Im buying that. I haven't seen the Blockade Troopers, but I figure Ill buy them too. The Endor Soldiers have been showing up on ebay for awhile, but don't seem to be any different from the bloody POTF2 ones - paint and everything! I already have tons of those, so I think I'll hold off.

If anyone knows different, let us both know....

These sets all appear to be legit.
The Endor Troop builder mch like 12" Plo Koon got lost in the shuffle with the fan club switching ownership. I was hesitant to buy at first but finally broke down and did.

There's a CloneTrooper set planned for later this year as well.
