The Story

The Sandtrooper Squad Leader is one of the most iconic Imperial troopers from Star Wars: A New Hope — the orange pauldron marking his rank as he led the search for the stolen Death Star plans across Tatooine's Mos Eisley streets. Hasbro's Vintage Collection brings this fan-favorite back to the 3.75-inch, 1:18 scale format that defined a generation of Star Wars collecting, with a level of collector-grade deco and sculpt detail that far exceeds the original Kenner releases that inspired the line's retro-style packaging.

This figure arrives factory sealed and features deliberate sand-weathering across the white armor panels and a richly detailed black backpack unit — elements that immediately distinguish this release from a standard Stormtrooper. The Squad Leader comes armed with three individually sculpted blasters: a long rifle with sling, a heavy repeating blaster, and a compact hold-out pistol, giving collectors and army-builders maximum display flexibility. Multiple points of articulation allow for a wide range of posed stances, from patrol-ready to full combat.

The Vintage Collection format is the gold standard for 1:18 scale Star Wars collecting, and the Sandtrooper Squad Leader slots naturally alongside other A New Hope troopers and Tatooine-scene figures in the line. Whether you're building out a Mos Eisley diorama or completing your Imperial forces roster, this figure delivers the screen-accurate detail and nostalgic presentation that makes TVC so enduring. A must-have for classic trilogy collectors.

The Stuff You’re Probably Wondering Before You Smash ‘Buy Now’

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How Fast Do We Ship?

Most in-stock orders placed before 12 PM CST ship the same day. We’re label-printing, box-packing machines — without skimping on quality. Your tracking number will probably show up before you’ve even closed the tab.

How Do We Pack Orders?

Every item gets collector-grade treatment: bubble wrap, proper padding, and zero envelope crimes. We pack like your grail’s riding shotgun with us — damage rate is under 1%.

Are You Actually Collectors Too?

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎

What's Your Return Policy?

30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.

Pre-Orders: How They Work

Calling dibs costs you $0 today — we only charge your card when it ships. No awkward “I paid months ago” limbo. Mixing in-stock + pre-orders? In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.

Still Stumped? Let’s Talk.

We’re real collectors who actually answer — no bots, no scripts, no hold music. Shoot us a message and we’ll get back faster than you can refresh your tracking number.
