Kinda weird but the fabric pouches on mine turned darker tan. This happen to anyone else? He was never displayed in the sun.

Oh that is weird. I see mine have too.
Any pics? They were always a little discolored

It's weird - mine either aren't affected, or if they are its more minor. I didn't notice them being darker even after this issue came up and I was specifically checking.
I think I have four Biker Scouts and three have the stock pouches and none seem to be noticeably darker vs how they were before (when new they were slightly more of a off-white/light tan from memory, almost like the Snowie pouches, not bright white.)
The HT pouches are too large and puffy anyway, and aren't quite sharp cornered enough so hopefully an enterprising customizer will step in to sell custom replacement pouches that are more screen accurate.
This below is my main display Biker Scout, the pic at top taken in April last year (damn has it been that long already?), below pic taken today... I tried to get lighting the same but it's not 100% match with more daylight fill on the earlier pic.

Wondering if I should repaint them off-white or something or wait until they turn chocolate brown or even black
. Mine are not as dark as seen here, but much darker than what the original looked like.
HT is always full of surprises...

This is mad. 
I'll have to check mine out again (very high shelf), they seem roughy similar to when first purchased but maybe a little tanner. Seems like HT glue striking again

Unreal. Just looked at mine and they are a little darker. Never noticed before.
Yeah this is ANH Han's shirt V.2 (even if it was never clear if it was the wire or the glue that caused the issue)
Yet even then I do seem to recall most people's shirts had the issue while some others didn't.

Wondering what kind of white paint to use, if I ever decide to repaint the pouches
Yeah, mine have gotten darker as well and look similar to yours. It sort of makes them look like they've been weathered and they're on their way to matching the strap color just below them, so if it doesn't get much worse maybe it's not a big concern? He's got that tan cargo bag on the speeder as well so these don't really jump out to me as being "wrong". From the prototype pics it's evident that they were never white to begin with....

Mine are definitely a bit darker. However, I can’t say I remember their true color when I got it.
