I have a question to the community. In the catalog the head for the Arc Trooper
sw0315 is listed with Blocked Open Stud. In my polybag (still sealed) the head
is a Hollow Stud.
Is the listing wrong? or did Lego issue this minifigure with both head types,
as often seen with minifigures in regular sets?

Only ever seen examples of hollow-stud head with these polybag sets, had quite
a few too. But it's production year/s did fall firmly within the transition
period between mold types, and depending upon the number of global locations
and length of the overall production period, the global supply could credibly
contain both.

Having said that, and as to the listing being wrong: with the site's recent
'shift in listing' minifig head mold-types, it has become more of a moot
point today, at least in part.

This set came out right during the time of the transition from blocked open stud
to hollow stud, so it is very likely that the set came with both at one point.

However, this information will all be moot when the catalog entries for the heads
get merged soon.

Cheers,
