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

[Deedzy]

So i'm confused... I get that the scout will ship first in 3-5, but i ordered the ex bundle and sideshows email showed the scout at full price with a 30 dollar deposit, which i think was the
NRD for the bike ????

Yeah I'm a little confused as to what is going on as I ordered the bundle as well. I presume we'll get a separate invoice when the bike arrives.

Yup exactly. So we all probably could have used two coupons and bought these separately and gotten the two for $15 cheaper. I'm not gonna be bothered with that though. It was nice to have it ordered day one and have an automatic discount of some sort.

 

[Mike86]

I wonder if we'll start seeing some early reviews of this figure soon. Kind of on the fence about getting one until I see an in hand review.

 

[Aliaz]

I hope so, I've got high hopes for this one.

 

[B1ueLeader]

I wish the shipping company would start using a Gulf Coast port, they are open and not on strike!

 

[Tee-Kay]

Is the strike still on? I thought an agreement was found already.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yeah, it's long over. Guess it's approaching urban myth status, now. They're still backlogged due to the strike, as far as I know. Maybe that's what B1ue is referring to.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Right. Sideshow 3 to 5 weeks notice didn't make it clear either reffering to the strike and not the backlog following that event. Anyway, i'll have to purchase a new shelf asap to display this Scout and the bike coming along.

 

[Aliaz]

I didn't get any notice e-mail, is that because I've used flexpay and have 2 payments left?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Might be. Payment in full got priority on recent releases as far as i know. Sideshow will most probably charge and send out full payers and offer remaining first shipment stock to some of the flexpayers.

Correct Sir.

In hand footage by Brandon Jackson of Yodas News. It looks great. The diorama base looks really well done.

The scout does look awesome!

In that video the helmet looks more weathered than i'd imagined it be. Looks cleaner on Sideshow's website, do they plan two versions like eFx?

 

[TaliBane]

Helmet still looks pretty elongated ala Scream mask but it's a really nice looking figure and can't wait to have in-hand. Somewhat concerned by the bright-white fabric mid section (I think it's supposed to be slightly yellowish like canvas) but the lighting was pretty dark so hard to confirm.

That bike looks really amazing - wish I could have gotten that.

Yeah I agree with this, it may be a trick of the light but it did look like the weathering was a bit much on the helmet especially when you see the stark white midsection pouch strap, it's like he and his armor had been in the wilds of Endor for 6 months and he had just received his replacement pouches that day. Hopefully it's just the lighting and the helmet is a cleaner white than what we are thinking we see, I've waited a long time for this character and I have faith in Sideshow especially when I look at what a great figure the Snowtrooper turned out to be.

 

[LizardKing1968]

wow..you guys crack me up...even speculating 'bout strikes at the port and why it's holding your toys up..lol....outta here!

 

[TonTon]

Well SS said so much in their email. "Your pre-order of the Scout Trooper - Sixth Scale Figure EXCLUSIVE (1001031) is expected into our U.S. warehouse in approximately 3-5 weeks. The anticipated arrival window has been expanded due to significant delays at the Port of Long Beach caused by the dock worker contract negotiations."

 

[Mike86]

This figure seems decent for the most part from the video above. I'd still like to see a full on review of it as well as the Speeder Bike though. I do agree that his pouches seem a lot more clean than the rest of the figure's armor but you could probably weather them up a bit.
