1/6 Sideshow 1/6th Scale Star Wars Speeder Bike

[earthdog]

What’s the consensus on this piece? Worth having, piece of crap, or what? Kinda pondering it but not sure. I have the Scout from Sideshow already which I feel would benefit from this. I probably will also grab Endor Luke and Leia if they’re ever made.

Scale and accuracy aside...

If you’re looking to have multiple speeder bikes for all these figures you would save some coin going with the Hasbro bikes and weathering them up.

If you just want one bike with minimal effort I’d go with the Sideshow version.

Even weathered up the Hasbro bike doesn't look quite right to me. The Sideshow one may be a bit undersized but it still looks like it would make for a cool display piece all on its own.

I don’t need multiples nor do I have room for more than one (as cool as it would be having a Scout chasing down Luke or Leia). Kinda debating whether I even want the one or not. I haven’t had it all this time since I bought the Scout way back when, but since Sideshow brought it back and it’s eligible for the coupons they give out I’ve been sorta thinking of it. Still seems spendy though.

This is excellent. Other than the general somewhat small scale it's only let down by the slightly undersized and a bit wonky handle bars. Was hoping they would at least stiffen those up for the 2nd release as they often appeared bent and misshapen on the first release.

Yea my only gripe is the wonky handlebars, very flimsy and bent out of the box. Otherwise, piece is awesome and quite large, love it my collection.

Wish SS would rerelease the 1/4 scale, id be all over that!

Love it...

Except the crappy handlebars (replaced with Hasbro in this pic).

I like it.

Have both the SSC and Hasbro Speeder. The SSC is a bit more accurate overall, but has its issues regarding size and fragility. Hasbro is bulkier and cheaper, but lacks the details SSC has.

Aside from the handlebars it’s a very nice and detailed display piece.

Wasn't too much of a problem. There's a little bit of trial and error, but if I can do it, anyone can

excellent upgrade Mandible!

Thanks! Makes a world of difference, that's for sure!

I did my math, but just to be sure - this beauty can't fit into detolf, right?

I don’t think so, but fits on top nicely.

If you remove a shelf and stand it straight up on the back exhaust it might.

Or you could mod some detolfs like Aliaz did.

The SSC bike is better than the Scout. Hope HT to make a Scout.

Did they upgrade anything on the re-release of the speeder bike?

Nice pic.

Other than the handlebars (which are all kinds of wrong) the bike really looks very nice. No comment on the Biker Scout.

Yeah, a HT Biker Scout would be so awesome. Hopefully with Luke and Leia Endor still floating around as a possible (though fading) possibility of a PO, the Biker Scout makes sense as a near-future announcement.

Thanks. Indeed the bike is a very nice piece. With a bit of patience and a hairdryer the handlebars ban be straightened easily. But they still have accuracy issues, but with all its flaws I like it.

Just finish my hasbro bike modding...I'm very Happy with the result.
