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 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? 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 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."

What can I say, it looks fantastic! They even have a bundle offer 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
