New Promotional Polybag Minifig Image

24 May 2017 Jeremy Beckett

Remember when news of the 40268 R3-M2 polybag came out and the LEGO Star Wars community were divided over its authenticity? Well, here’s another supposed polybag – this time it’s a Coastal Defender Stormtrooper – aka Shoretrooper – aka Scarif Trooper.

Again there’s no clue on provenance nor how it will be distributed, and the number 40176 has yet to be attached to a set in the Brickset database. So if you want to put on a pair of Scepticales(™) before you click on the thumbnail above you’d be perfectly entitled too. Thanks to Anon for sharing his find.

*It has been pointed out that, on closer inspection, this minifig has a kama which makes it a Shoretrooper Squad Leader. Thanks to Jens Hansen for pointing this out.
