I think it says $TBD for that price tag - on the other protos too. Looks good will start saving!

I dig it... and it's got one of those cool bases that it can swivel and move around on.

No worries, it happens for literally every small pic that has $TBD posted for it
Although $180 is usually the most common guess.

Hasbro version is still pretty awesome, imo. Especially given the price at the time

Is that Hasbro bike this one?

I haven't seen it in person, but if it looks decent, I might use that with the SS Trooper since their bike will likely be out of my budget.

Yeah the Leia was... Not impressive.
How is the bike though - obviously not as good as SS's will be, but would it make a nice accompaniment, or stick out like a sore thumb?
Yeah, Hasbro did such a good job, not much to differentiate it.
I has to look real hard to see the difference in the forward fins and the little knobby levers and other subtle differences. The SS bike is clearly going to be the winner here right out of the box, but Hasbro's effort was probably their best machine and really holds up. I would be fine putting an SS trooper on the Hasbro bike. Just needs some good weathering and a better blankie on the back.

Exactly. And since you can get the bike with luke or leia for like $40-$50 on ebay in the US, and that includes shipping, you would be saving at least $100-$150 or more compared to the SS one depending on the final price. I also predict the Hasbro ones will go up in price as people look to these as an alternative to the more expensive SS one for their SS Scout Troopers.

I have the Hasbro Bike. It's hard to tell without seeing more pics or holding the SS one, but the SS bike looks better proportioned. There are very minute changes throughout that elevate it. Small margin for improvement though, as the Hasbro one is already pretty good. I've no doubt SS's will be better and sturdier, as the Hasbro still feels toy like at the end of the day.
I'll be repainting the Hasbro once I get Sideshow's.

I think with a bit of work the Hasbro is more than sufficient, but I think there are some small things wrong with it that Sideshow will likely address and of course the paint work should be better on this and I'd expect the overall sculpt on it to be a bit more refined. So probably not really worth a few hundred more, but I'll still probably buy it over a Hasbro
I like the stand for the SS bike.

yeah I hope this thing don't cost a mint which I don't have
It's got to be around $250, right? Is anyone seriously thinking it will be $150? Christ, the E-WEB Canon was $150.
