Very nice! I will be getting the Scout trooper for sure, will think about the speederbike though.

If you look closely seems there might be a difference in weathering of the two boots, Could be just lighting, but who knows. We might get a regular Scout sold alone and a different one sold with the bike:

I am on the fence right nwo. It does look good. I keep hoping we will get an AT-AT Driver and something to go with it!

Maybe I will hold out for when they turn this one into a Hoth Scout Trooper with a white Speederbike. You know they will do it one day.

The pre-order is up!

Sideshow Collectibles lists Sixth Scale Scout Trooper up for pre-order!

It seems like this is a good morning to order the newest Star Wars Merchandise as this Sixth Scale Scout Trooper (https://affiliates.sideshowtoy.com/Tracker.aspx?aid=1729&sku=1001031&cid=-1) is just another fantastic OT Armored Form they are adding to their 12 inch line up. Also, how can you get the Scout and not get his corresponding Speeder Bike (https://affiliates.sideshowtoy.com/Tracker.aspx?aid=1729&sku=1001211&cid=-1)? Those links will get you what you need to add both of these to your collections.

Pretty expensive to get both of them, bike and Scout. But I think I'll do it, though through a local dealer.

New photos of Sideshow's Sixth Scale Speederbike...

"The highly-detailed rapid-transport reconnaissance vehicle boasts a sleek design with a military grade repulsorlift engine, power cell, and a simple blaster cannon for defense. Built for maneuverability, it features articulated foot pedals, engine flaps, and steering vanes to achieve the perfect action display, with or without pilot.

Mounted on a museum-quality base to complete the hover effect, the Sixth Scale Speeder Bike (http://affiliates.sideshowtoy.com/Tracker.aspx?aid=1729&href=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sideshowtoy.com%2fcollectibles%2fstar-wars-speeder-bike-sideshow-collectibles-100121%2f) is an essential addition for recreating your favorite scenes from the Battle of Endor.

Check out our companion piece for this figure: Scout Trooper Sixth Scale Figure (http://affiliates.sideshowtoy.com/Tracker.aspx?aid=1729&href=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sideshowtoy.com%2fcollectibles%2fstar-wars-scout-trooper-sideshow-collectibles-1001031%2f)."

What can I say, it looks fantastic! They even have a bundle offer (http://affiliates.sideshowtoy.com/Tracker.aspx?aid=1729&href=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sideshowtoy.com%2fcgi-bin%2fMake-a-Store.cgi%3fmultiadd%3d2%261.sku%3d100103%261.qty%3d1%262.sku%3d100121%262.qty%3d1) to get a discount if you get both. I sure don't see why you wouldn't want both!

The helmet of the Scout figure compared to a screen used one has tons of flaws. The knee pads are also inaccurate. Still the figure looks very cool and glad I pre-ordered one and a speederbike too
