That could very well be the highest resolution photo ever taken of a cruisemissle trooper.

I mistakenly thought the site would shrink it.

Today, I threw away a shit-ton (seriously, exactly one metric shit-ton) of SW packaging. I've kept it forever, but it takes up space. With the Jedi Points basically having been made useless, it was time to chuck it all.

I checked diligently through the massive stacks of cardboard and saved two items: the box and instructions for the Cruisemissile Trooper. :mabs: & :ducks:

I purged star wars packaging a couple years ago. It was amazing on how much room it took up. It is about time to go through the garage again. I think I have a couple unnecessary Star Wars boxes laying around I should toss. My bigger problem now is GI Joe packaging. For some reason I've hesitated tossing the boxes because they have the file cards on them.

I clip the filecards and give them to my daughter and toss the rest. In the age of the internet, I can look up any card, should I have the need to review it.

I was rearranging space in my storage unit from the two three times I've moved and had to box up all my belongings. (I've condensed two storage units down into one and working on moving a bunch of stuff from my parents basement as well, but I digress...) I have an INSANE amount of Carded SW figures. It's like 50 banker boxes of figures. They keep turning up. I opened one the other day and was like I don't even remember BUYING this figure. I didn't even know they MADE this figure. It's just...its sad.

Why hasn’t anyone put a Cruisemissile Trooper into any live action Star Wars shows yet?

Unforgivable.

Book of Boba Fett should have had the Cruisemissile Trooper and Crowd Control Stormtrooper in that final battle. They are both on par with that technicolor cyberpunk gang.

No self-respecting cruise-missile trooper would have let a slow speed pursuit continue like that. They would have had that shit locked down with a barrage of FUCK YOU faster than stink. Even Mabs would have tuned in to see Lt. Frask in live action.

I forgot about that pursuit. What I meant was the gang war at the end with all of the various factions. They weren't the same episode, were they? I guess that shows how memorable The Book of Boba Fett really was.

Maybe the Cruisemissle Troopers would have been better in the Mandalorian episode where they fight on Mandalore.

No the chase was earlier on. Frask could have had a first appearance during that one, then come back to pull the full "Han Solo" in the finale.
