Congrats, Loki, on getting the Biker Scout. You did a terrific job at displaying him with the moss.

Thanks. It's kinda cool to finally have an original idea that really pays off. There are so many talented people on this board and it's nice to be able to contribute a little bit in making a great piece just a little bit better.

Got mine today ......


What I will say for now is that I don't think for a minute that it was anything but worth the price --- but the Scout is rather light.

I'm now in the club as well--this thing is in a class of its own and they're going to have to work pretty hard to top it. (If that's even possible.) It definitely gives off a "museum piece" vibe and although they have referred to a lot of pieces as potential centerpieces to your collection, I think this qualifies. I had to pack up the 12" scale Jabba and throne setup to free up the display room for this, but I certainly don't regret it.

I wouldn't have regretted paying full price for this, but getting it for less makes this an even happier purchase for me. This has all of the size, amazing visual impact, intricacy and detail of Grievous--but coupled with the nostalgia of a character/vehicle that I was obsessed with as a kid and that represents classic Star Wars in a way that the General can't quite manage. Five stars!!

That's great Tom. I think the one potential PF in any line that I would be okay spending $800 for would be Luke on a Tauntaun. For me that would be everything that you describe the Biker Scout is for you.

Wow, what a great piece. Congrats to all who own one.

Yep... I'm still jealous!

Agreed! I finally opened mine today and it is absolutely amazing. This is the most impressive thing to come from Sideshow in a long time. Very well packed to keep it safe in transport too.

As many Luke's as there are out there I would absolutely love to see Luke on a speeder as a companion piece.

I am never looking in this thread again because all these cool pictures are making me so jealous... it looks amazing.

 

[Agent23]

Madden, you gonna get one?

 

[fassa_the_hutt]

Mine Wasn't packed so good ,and a pice broke off when I opend the box
I told Sideshow and I am still waiting for a reply from them.

 

[Darth Madden]

Madden, you gonna get one?

I wish to heck I could. Oh darn, I looked at this thread again... darn it.

Hey All - did the speeder come as one package or two?

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

I said before that I wasn't a huge fan of the base on this piece and wanted to get some moss to make it look a bit more realistic. So here is what $4 at Micheal's got me

WOW !! that looks amazing!
nice touch on the base full of bush.

LOVE! your pf display.

Just one big friggin box.

[LOTRFan]

Lovin' mine, it really is THAT good!

Taken from the blog eye of the collector, I think this picture shows the scale pretty well for those who still haven't seen it in person.
