Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
It looks really cool but I yet to pull the trigger on the battle droid pair.

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
Really find the STAP an uninspired design myself. Machines flying machines. Why didn't they just make flying robots with guns built in?
I suppose it's simple design and size makes it appealing to ease into "vehicles"... but I wish SS would just make the speeder bike.

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
We will see. I have never been a fan of the S.T.A.P. design. But I am all the way stoked to FINALLY be getting a 1:6 scale vehicle from Sideshow. I will be watching this intently. And I will be down for multiples until I find out that it is a polystone statue-type base for the figures like the Dewback.
Edit - And thanks for the link, Qrest Fourstar. With the issues I am having with the newsletter, who knows when I might have finally gotten to see the preview.

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
As great as the Battle Droids turned out, I have no interest in the STAP. It's cool that Sideshow is making it though.

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
Well this is a step in the right direction though. It's basically just a speeder bike for droids, plus Sideshow knows for sure that fans are dying for the speeder bike. This was probably just a way to test out what they could do before moving on the the juicy stuff.

Going to have to wait for the Battle Droids I ordered to get here before I make a decision on this, but the price seems fair considering it comes with a droid, so this looks to be a must buy for me. That articulated base is the icing on the cake. Very cool.

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
I'm surprised people are ragging on this or simply saying "pass" so quickly. Reminds me of those people ragging on dioramas when they've never owned one before or the people who ragged on Jabba when he was announced. IMO these big items or unique items make everything else look like nothing special. Maybe people are afraid of doing that to their collections.
Must have item for me if I can afford it.
I'm hoping for $150 as one BD is $60, I figure the STAP should be about $90.

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
My thoughts exactly!
I do like the vehicle a LOT, but I have to draw the line with some of the OT stuff...

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
That's where I'm at. I've got Joe stuff I want to grab, Marvel stuff, other SW items, and of course at the top of the list LOTR/The Hobbit stuff. Just can't swing it all until I win the lottery.

The base design is rather clever.

Hopefully they do an articulated base for Speeder Bikes too.

Re: 1/6 STAP with Battle Droid
Finally saw the preview shot.
I like it -the base is really cool, giving different display options. I've always liked this design - looked like a knife blade cutting through that Naboo forest. It's a great representation of Chaing's aesthetic with a dash of McQuarrie.
One could always swap out the BD for the CW Anakin figure...he's certainly commandeered one of these a time or two on the CW show...
The detailing looks pretty well done and we know the BD's feet will stay well fixed to the pedals with magnets.
If it's not too pricey, I'm gonna go for it - it's going to make a pretty distinctive display piece...
I think it's a given that the classic Speeder Bike is going to see the light of day in sixth-scale from Sideshow. In the meantime, I think it's great that they produce some other vehicles in this scale too...

Curious to see what the price will be. We know a BD is $60, so if this is $200, that makes the STAP $140.
