Dang! Missed it. Now showing "Out of Stock" and no option for pre-order. Strange since it has not released yet.

AHHHH!!!!! MY EYES!!!!! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!!!!! Just saw (can't post from work unfortunately) a full back view. You know that side of the back they've really, REALLY not shown so far? The left back? Great big speaker slits that make the battery compartment look subtle and understated by comparison. No doubt fixable, but just...yikes.

You guys really think those lines in the back'll be 501st passable? Either way I'm pretty pumped about mine, still. Can't really beat $80 for a good looking bucket, even if it'll take some mods to spiff it up.
Curious to see how people plan to conceal the battery pack. The kylo helmet was easy in the sense that, while annoying to sand, it almost needed a paint upgrade. So you knew that, whatever you used to fill the seams, and whatever color it was to begin with, you were going to be painting dang near the whole thing. Unless every little thing in this separates easily, like the chrome face plate on the kylo, we'll be doing a lot of masking just to fill the battery seams and repaint the white.
And as for painting the white - what color and type of paint do many of you have in mind? Those of you who know you'll be redoing this thing for sure.
Regarding the seams and particularly the battery compartment, since this has been confirmed by Hasbro to be ABS, would it be feasible to make some ABS paste from my Anovos TK offcuts to spackle over this helmet? The white may not be a perfect match, but would that be a reasonable place to start with mods?
You can do that. You could even just fill the gap and the seam between the cap and back with a two-part epoxy putty of your choice. There are going to be a nonzero number of surface details that need attention, and after that it'd be best for even-ness if the whole thing was repainted. RustOleum's Professional Grade paints (at least the ones I've researched) have ground up ABS dissolved in suspension, so once it's cured you've basically coated your helmet in glossy, polished white (or black, if you want to do a Shadow Stormtrooper) ABS.

FYI Toys R Us has their BS Kylo helmets on sale for $59.99, so you can guarantee these will be on shelves.

Judging how the Kylo helmet is not only still available, but is also marked down, I would believe the stormtrooper helmet would be available for a while as well
Supposedly its only a half mask, not a full helmet.
no, I mean cutouts as opposed to decals.Not the tube cutouts on the faceplate tubes. Those are accurate.
The complaints are about slits in he REAR tube that were added so you can hear the speaker.
