Star Wars The Vintage Collection Speeder Bike & Scout Trooper Review 

I spit my drink out when that Leia pic came up 😂 He does excel as just a Biker Scout, leaning against his ride, chillin.

24K buddy 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Good review, just ordered mine and now I am looking forward to have it in my collection.

They look amazing! I can't wait to add this to my Biker Scout Collection!!! One of the few TVCs i'm going to buy.

This is the BEST Speeder Bike and Scout Trooper ¡Congratulations! Hasbro & Kenner

Another great review! Gutted I missed this on Pre-Order 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Nice to see the figure unpunched.👍

Good review Tim, unfortunately for me I won't be buying this, not at £52, it's way overpriced. Give it a year, when it's on Zavvi black Friday deal for 30 quid I'd consider it.

Brilliant review and although I’d rather they had reused the old bike and perfected the Biker Scout, this looks awesome and I can’t wait to get a few! Hope Hasbro does a bike subline: Anakin and Zephyr-G Swoop, Mando and Zepher-J swoop, imperial patrol trooper and Patrol Bike (vehicle is seen on Ferrix in Andor), Count Dooku and his bike etc. Cobb Vanth and his modified pod-racer bike

Thanks for the review Tim, it’s funny how our speeder bike toy from the 80s didn’t need a stand to balance. 😂😂

One of the bright stars of my childhood toy box

Seems the usual cut corners where they can and you get just an ok product. This was a really good opportunity to nail it but it is what it is. Excellent review as always

These retail for $45 in my area. Walmart was running a big sale and I was able to get 2 for the price of one. Glad I waited, these shouldnt be more than $20 anyway.

Got a few of these on order. ROTJ is my era of Star Wars and I love the Endor part of it. Can’t wait to get these and the bunker and put together a great scene! Great review as always - shame about cons on this but looking forward to it nethertheless. Definitely time for a new Leia sculpt! 😂😂

Great review Tim You have me all excited now Look forward to receiving my Speeder bike soon

Cracking review. Glad I was able to pre order this one.

Great review. Wishing you and your family the best for the holiday season.

Great honest review as always, thanks Tim

Very well detailed review my friend! I actually like the thick cardstock and the efforts gone to for protection of the Biker Scout within the packaging! Its a nice looking vehicle which I may get if just for the action figure! Merry Christmas my friend!

Well done B, way ahead once again. Decent in depth review

Santa arrived early, Tim, and in the best possible way! Hope you and the family have a good one !!

Wow. Seeing how thick the outer box is. I better buy 2 of these. They look amazing

Awesome job Bossk, and many congratulations on reaching 24,000

Really good detailed review Tim you always know your stuff have a great Christmas

Merry Christmas Big Bossk Little Bossk and Mrs. Bossk. Hope you all have a good one. And here's to next year guys!

Wow! That was really thorough, nice job. I haven't seen the 2012 version so am excited to see the upcoming video for a comparison. Also, didn't know the helmet was a different size on previous versions, that Jedi Fallen Order bucket looks really odd, it's like his has 2 big ears sticking out the side.

Hey, Bossk! Glad you got this one early. You've been beating the speeder bike drum for so long, I was very eager to hear your thoughts. Here is my reaction to the video in ascending order of disappointment: Hmm. The ventral gun doesn't swivel. A step backward! That's disappointing. Oh, there's no silver paint on the engine components. That seems lazy and doesn't look nearly as good. Disappointing! No foot pegs! Hmm, that'll make posing difficult for sure! I call that disappointing! Oh, you can't stand up the bike on its own without the stand? Ridiculous! Very disappointing indeed! WAIT, THE HANDLE BARS DON'T MOVE?! WHAT ON EARTH WERE THEY THINKING?!?! THEY JUST DESTROYED ANY CHANCE FOR POSING DIFFERENT FIGURES ON THE BIKE!! GAAAAH! DISAPPOINTING DOESN'T BEGIN TO COVER IT! Whew.... A shame that, despite some solid aesthetics, this feels like a several steps backward from prior versions.

Can’t wait to get mine, salivating🙏🏻Congrats on 24K🎉Tim mate👏👍

Can’t wait for this! Great review

TY for the review. I didn't even know this was available. This is my 2nd favorite vehicle. However, I'm on the fence about getting one.

Amazing 40 years anniversary Scout Trooper figure with the speeder bike. I would love to purchase one as my new collection.

I see a Dremel, some modeling putty, paint matching and superglue in my future 😁

Thanks for this review I’m glad I ordered it

Cardback is fantastic

Thanks for this review! Now that I've seen how it actually looks and works with figures, I can cancel the two I had ordered and save myself some dough! Much appreciated!

I hate myself ! In march I sold my entire fully completed VC collection ,figures ,sdcc exclusives ,every vehicle ever released in the VC packaging , all the exclusive three packs from the USA ( I live in the UK ) i had all figure variants and chances , even had the sdcc death star REVENGE OF THE JEDI death star figure set with the super super rare mouse droid and salacious crumb on the mini cards ,they are numbered and part of the figure line ( I sold just those two for £650.00 ). Sold both my razor crests and even sold my sail barge that I paid £1200 bloody quid for ( still made 300 on that ) I swore I was out for good , well in the last two weeks I've pre ordered everything to do with the roj 40th anniversary , the Mando jedi Knight luke ,and about 2 hours ago I ordered 4 of these bloody bikes , pre ordered the atst with chewie , I'm going to build one amazing endor battle scene ,that's it , I want the VC at -at , if anyone has one for sale pls message me , I can send the money immediately .

Heyy Tim! Thanks for the review. Great looking Biker Scout, preferred name 😆 and speeder bike looks really cool. Can’t wait to get this 🙏🏽

I love it. I can’t wait for this to hit retail.

Congrats on the 24K 🙏

I want one of these so bad. Actually, I want at least three of these so bad. Unfortunately they sold out before I even realised the preorder was up

Great and thorough review Tim!!! Some disappointing issues, but overall, I’m very excited for this release!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent update to both the bike and biker scout... I hope Hasbro does an more screen accurate for the black series as a well..

Thanks for the review Tim. Great looking vehicle. Definitely an improvement from the old school one. Don't thinks the price is very fair. It's being priced close to a hundred dollars here in Canada. I honestly don't think it should be worth more than the tantive playset. I can only imagine what the bunker will go for. Probably gonna pass on the bunker. I wanted 2 of these but at that price I'll be lucky to afford one. I'm already paying over $20 for the figures. I don't mind the price when the figures look so awesome, but this is getting a bit rediculous. TBH it may be time to start winding down on the collecting. It's been fun but the burden of scalpers and distribution has been getting a bit much. I have a pretty big collection as it is. There's probably only about a dozen more characters I would really feel necessary. Thanks again for the review

This is totally AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the great review Tim! Do you think the speeder bike color is a bit too dark of a brown? When I look at the scenes from the film I see slightly different shades but none of them look as dark as this to me. Most look like a much tanner brown to me, but maybe it’s just the lighting. What do you think with it in hand?

When you have 3 of the Toys R Us version, I’m disappointed they didn’t knock this out the park.. I might entertain 1 of these to make a square army builder collection… definitely need that comparison. This should have been a home run!

Great update weird they didn't update the hips considering we need him to sit on the bike. If ever a figure needed hip update its this!!

rebel soldier: what’s the last thing that goes through a biker scouts head after he crashes his after burner

Their official name has always been a scout trooper. The bikes slid out of the Turbo clone tanks which is where they evolved from. The were also in the at-at's to scout for them and the at-st. The at-st was the command observation vehicle for anti infantry, the at-at's were for sieges. Everyone downs on walkers but the at-at was designed to launch troops over the walls of a compound after the heavy guns softened it up.

Cool final display Prefer the older concept. Like the newer paint.

We deserved a completely new mold after what….16-17 years? But I like the new head and that it’s at least available. I’ll prob never get it. Haven’t gotten any vintage collection in years. Love them, but the price is too high. So I just watch people like you enjoy them haha.

Im Def buying a few of these!!!!

Great review Tim…I feel like you’re alluding to possible conclusion on future bike comparison video… from what I’ve seen and heard, the ATST probably could have used the “new tooling $” that went into this all new bike. Excited to get it nonetheless…it does confound though to look at the older sculpts..even with the partial new biker…like, how can someone at Hasbro try to pose things like you are here and think this is ideal? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for the super early video!

I saw these at my local target and for what we are being offered, the price is beyond absurd! Lol, I love my power of the jedi scout troopers and I love the power of the force speeder bikes and included scout troopers. 10 dollars each on those, new in sealed box from all the local vintage stores around here!

Looks great. Sturdy box and likely collectors will buy multiples. I just want the carded figure

The figure looks great! I doubt I will pick this up however as I own a boxed vintage speeder my dad bought me a few years ago

Wasnt too sure about this set, but now I've seen your review I'm definitely going too try to get a couple, hopefully they'll be easier to get than the new stormtrooper which is like gold dust.

I missed this on preorder, I’m sure more are coming or. 😢.love the unpunched card Great review Tim 😊.

Great video Tim, glad you showed the other figures on it! I bought three of these, but a forgot about Paploo!! Hmm… do I just use him and forget about Leia?

Nice! managed to pre-order a few of these from Zavvi. Everywhere else was quickly sold out. Thanks, BB!

Whereas the Vintage Collection has so many upsides, I ultimately went with Black Series because it had more Luke Skywalker options when I started. Seeing this review makes me glad I went this direction as I can get my Endor Leia and Luke to share one speeder bike significantly more comfortably than this. However, this one has nice callback artwork and I’d be tempted to get this TVC package if not for the price in Canada. I actually wish the BS version didn’t have pegs as they tend to make posing harder at that scale, especially for figures that don’t have front peg holes (Endor Luke).

Regardless of faults, I am picking up at least one of these. I intend to pick up more if I can find them on sale so I can have a few just lazing around the Bunker set when I get that too for display.

Its cool. I like it.

9 out of 10.

Great video is this an exclusive are will it be wide spread keep up the great work

Wish down the line they release the scout without the speeder , ain't got money to get this pack I love the scout troopers

Thank you for such an early review! 8:54 - 8:58 what is a weird paint omission by Hasbro is the lack of gray paint for the "helmet bolt caps" (the gray circle covers of the bolts the mask of the costume helmet pivots upon). The molding is clearly there, so why they didn't paint those circles gray is beyond me. Other than that, a very welcome new helmet mold!

I hope they release a kenner color grey version

Wow, was looking forward to this but will stick with my POTF versions

I have the toysrus version. I may get this one just to recreate that chase scene from ROTJ.

I hope I can get one

How does your compare to the 12" figure and speeder bike package? The 12"model is quite impressive

they are still canon wise as scout, there are recon units too, samething

The shin armor is new and movable

Nice 👍😊

Nice review Tim

I’m not a fan of the figure, but that bike is pretty nice! I might have to pick it up.

How does this compare with the Toys R Us release? Any comparison shots you can share?

damn that was fast.

do think the new helmet, and the removeable helmets with door playsets might be a gate way to ezra, maybe even a hint

Do you think we’ll get a new kashyyyk trooper out of this mold?

the only one i can find cost 48 quid is that worth it?

From what you've said, the 2012 Saga version can rest easy, not bad but definitely doesn't surpass that. We await the comparison

For the price, this is not enough of an upgrade i wish i knew in advance they would've made this cost so much MORE, as well as not improve it nearly enough and as you said.. some places down graded it. I would've brought more of the toys R us version and completely ignored this. I think i'll ignore this completely maybe buy one if i have money but i expect this to go on clearance, Hasbro is soon going to have loads of stores complaining they can only move stock when its on special, certainly for vehicles.

Idk what it is but I’ve always referred to these guys as scout troopers. Damn you wookiepedia😂

Eh, the Scout Trooper sculpt needs to be updated more for me to get it. Hands suitable for more weapon types and better articulation (especially on the arms/wrists)

Thanks for the video. Now this is another of my preorders I’m considering cancelling. I’m really tightening up now. These current prices are making me become very discerning, much more than I used to be. This looks a nice set. But I’m not sure I NEED it. And £50 for it is insulting.

Maybe a little hairdryer for the leg guards to bend them ever so slightly so he sits more proper? Great review, and have to agree with the rest that this is overpriced. They have skipped/removed/downgreaded the older version when they could have really improved upon it. Its 2022 dang it! Now I wonder if they might have done the same with the AT-ST and should I cancel my PO for it...

Hasbro’s prices have gone insane. I encourage everyone not to buy this until it inevitably goes on sale for $30 or less. Stuff like this should be $25

Hey long time no see big guy. Great video sorry I have been out for a bit due to life. But send me a updated list ill get some stuff out to you and little Bossk. Cheers and merry Christmas

I think when they expanded starwars it become scout trooper, as they would've been given more tasks than just riding bikes, the armour is designed to be easier to move in, and would be better to.. scout in. I would like to see a release where he's given a shoulder rifle as well as the smaller blaster they do use sniper rifles in the EU, and there are loads of stormtrooper variants!

Great Video. Just the price is too heavy with 55€ over here.

Already! Your a monster bossk ..mine says like April. Uda man

After seeing this I’m hoping I can somehow get Endor Leia and Luke riding together on one of these to recreate the chase scene, but it doesn’t look possible. I was able to do that with the Black Series figures and bike and it looks awesome and really completes the scene. This one though might be more of a challenge getting two figures riding together, especially that Leia. Overall this looks very inadequate and uninspiring. Kinda disappointing there’s no articulation in the handle bars or feet rests, and no peg holes. We got ripped off again by Hasbro…🤦🏻‍♂️.

Well, I've got a full Lancer of the 2012 bikes. Looks like I won't be replacing them on first impressions!! Lol A complete over haul on the bike & it's not an improvement from 10 years ago! The only thing better is they fixed the shoulder paint & new ankles. A complete waste of R & D. I just pre-ordered one, probably will cancel it after the full comparison video.

Great review sir. This looks cheap to me. The rubbery components suck. I think I’ll skip it and just enjoy my vintage speeders

Superb looking set, but is it me or is the Speeder Bike under-scaled?

I ordered 4 of these, and unfortunately, I sold off my original 4 Kenner speeder bikes, and looking at this new version, I should have kept the Kenner ones. The feet as you described are a big disappointment compared to the Kenner. Being able to stand by the feet (parked) is way better than using a stand at the lower setting.

Let me help you clear up your confusion over the 40th anniversary logo. you said yourself that you got it early from overseas. Doesn’t it make sense that the logo is there for the year that it’s set to release. It takes some time to produce these sets so they have to build up their stock ahead of time. I hope this helps

Tbh I'm a bit underwhelmed I'm glad I did t bother to pre order it
