Speeder set is very expansive, even closely matches Mando 2 pack Boba price tag, but it is simply to iconic to pass on.
The Hasbro is pretty solid and sturdy. Not as accurate as the SSC version, but indeed a good piece if you don't want to spend too much on a 1/6 scaled speederbike. I have the SSC on the shelf, and a Hasbro bike on top of another shelf in the other room, I kept it because it is cool (the Hasbro Scout is gone though).I think your assessment is correct. The Sideshow should be bigger and the Hasbro a bit smaller. The HT is definitely smaller than the Sideshow. The details of the Hasbro aren't as sharp but it's a nice enough inexpensive stand in. Could probably improve it a good bit with a little work too. So ultimately there are advantages and disadvantages to all three.
What retailer are you going with?I'll get it anyway, but will be from an EU distributor to avoid the crazy customs. This is where my specific collecting focus helps a lot when comes to the budget, I don't buy everything, only what fits my focus, and thus I can save the $$$ for the items I want
Remains to be seen. I usually go with SPACE, Toy Palace or Cite de nuagesWhat retailer are you going with?
It's australian dollars. The price is pretty good for being a retailer outside the US. “Only” $522 USD, $17 more than Sideshow.Someone needs to blow the rape whistle on that website, good grief that is expensive.
I see. Have purchased some figures with LCDN, also a member there which is great. I think they, by far, set the best prices on Hot Toys in Europe.Remains to be seen. I usually go with SPACE, Toy Palace or Cite de nuages
Yup, people in Australia nag too much about Popcultcha prices. They are usually rather well set for these items. The bike is better priced than most stores we have in Europe!Dearest I've seen in the UK is £240 for the Scout £510 for Scout and Bike, which is 453 and 964 AUD respectively.
Cheapest UK including delivery I've seen is £199 for the Scout and £445 for the set. (HK was a little cheaper, but not really worth the hassle in this case).
Those prices are still dearer than the Popcultcha prices, though I don't know whether they charge delivery as well.
I preordered a Scout and Speederbike and also a single Scout from SPACE. A bit more expensive than LCDN, but have points which help with the final price and the shipping cost are zero.I see.
