1/6 Sideshow Star Wars Scout Trooper 1/6th Scale Figure

[huskie]

Can not justify spending $300 on a bike from SSC when Hasbro made a 1/6th bike for less than $50 that looks just as good, if not better than SSC. The scout trooper looks odd, it is probably just me, but something seems to be off with it. Was really looking forward to this set, not sure what I expected, but I will pass on this. The price is horrible considering I bought Yoda's Dagobah Hut a few months back from SSC for $275 with lots of accessories and incredible detail to a huge 1/6 piece. This bike is just... .

Invictus Sol, thanks. Bummer you can't get more than one SS Exclusive, but I do understand why.

Does anyone really need more than one exclusive of any figure? Sharing is caring. Think of your fellow collectors

Not of the speed bike, but it's nice to have the extra gun with the Scout Trooper, but in all honesty, I think I would have just done one of each anyway. I have WAY too many things I want to buy and not enough money. I was mostly curious about the system.

Big Bad Toy Store has them up now as well for those interested in going that route.

Ordered EX of both uggh the cost.

Figure is looking pretty good. Wish they offered clean boots along with the dirty boots though.

I just went with the Scout Trooper, I can't really justify it in my mind splashing near €400 on the Speeder Bike; I'll put that cash toward something else a bit more robust down the line.

Well, when it comes to troopers, i can understand the need to get more than one, even for exclusives. If a collector wishes to get a couple ex scouts with rifles to give some variety to his platoon, it's not out of the ordinary. Besides, with open editions, no collector, assuming he puts his order in before the en d of the year, should miss the ex if he really wants one.

I need the scout but with the Deloran in my path I just can't justify 300 bucks for the Bike. I'm gotta mount my custom scout on the bike and display the new scout with my snowie and sandie.

I think this hobby is killing itself with these insane prices.

Trooper looks great and I hope it translates that way into production. Bike is an easy pass as I have a repainted hasbro that gets the point across just fine. A bit steep on the trooper but he's too cool looking to pass up.

 

[Shaun & Ed Fan]

I find it odd that they only posted 2 photos of the trooper on the bike and in one pic he's only side saddle!

 

[Chakaman]

I picked up one exclusive, one regular version. I passed on the bike, not worth $300.

Lots of stuff coming up for pre-order in the coming months, must choose wisely.

I still haven't gotten an email verifying my PO.
Anyone else have this issue?

In all honesty, this hobby only allows me to get one of anything. Ofcourse i understand that some collectors like to army build, but to find the disposable income to do it is a challenge for most of us. I could'nt even consider getting a second gammorean guard for my jabba dio

...justify... Hasbro made a 1/6th bike for less than $50 that looks just as good, if not better than SSC.

I realize you're justifying yourself here but come on, seriously? SS is a better bike. Maybe not $250 better. But a better bike.

 

[abake]

Yeah, I'll only order one somewhere down the line, and no bike.
Way too expensive.

 

[Pixelpiper]

An $8 bottle of wine doesn't necessarily look any worse than a $1000 bottle. But they'll taste worlds apart. Are those worlds $992 dollars apart?

Sometimes. But I can't afford to drink $1000 bottles of wine anymore.

I don't recommend eating speeder bikes.

Yeah, I over exaggerated greatly, but that is from my disappointment. I expected more to come with this bike for that price... but nothing. Not sure what SSC could have included... IDK... camo armor, gear...

For $300, they should have included a crouched Scout Trooper rider.
