The Vintage Collection 3.75" Speeder Bike and Scout Trooper is NOT worth $45... | Storm Central 34

[@aegonthedragon7303]

I thought 99 for that AT ST rerelease was bad, but this is a new low for Cashbro. Seriously this is a 25 dollar toy at most.

I really enjoy the new TVC releases, but truly it’s all getting too expensive. This speeder looks nice as a step up from previous releases, but it’s far from perfect and far from $45. Before, I couldn’t justify paying $15-20 for old Star Wars figures at shows, but now NEW figures are charging me that. It’s only a small step up to get a classified or TBS, and now it’s getting to the point that only a few of those could get me a premium figure like a Hot Toys..... Ultimately, the shareholders and “exponential profits” are killing these businesses.

[@bdavis24fan]

Dude these price hikes are getting ridiculous. The TVC Jabba set they just announced is like $90 by itself. And if you want the whole throne room to recreate a ROTJ diorama then you'd have to pay $220 for the Book of Boba Fett set with the Fat Bib Fortuna and add in the Jabba stuff to make it look accurate to episode 6. So have fun shelling out $300+ for all that. 😡

[@zeph1952]

It’s insane hasbro still lies about “license fees” with their Star Wars lines, Jaz wears has come out and said they’re bringing ALL their Star Wars merch down in price

[@jmcgin1453]

I've seen some people get a Snoke figure instead of the scout trooper with their bike. Too bad we couldn't see the figure inside before buying. I did see these on clearance for $17 at Walmart the other day.

[@ARC117Studios]

I don't like that they had the opportunity to remake the Scout Trooper from the ground-up, but cheaped out. Regardless of whether or not the old one's parts still worked, they should have made an entirely new figure, especially at the price point. If I wanted the old Scout Trooper, I'd get one, I didn't want to pay for a new helmet. I was excited when I found this set in-store, even if the price was ridiculous, I was excited. But overall I was incredibly let down.

[@hushg2000]

Love the bigger scout helmet … my favorite character out of all the Star Wars figures.

[@djnavarro3212]

I need like four or six of these speeder bikes. Because my 3.75 figures need just a few vehicles that are not big

[@jglass1218]

I just picked this up at Walmart for $17.

[@dianavespid937]

The World of Halo Mantis has more plastic, more paint, more articulation, more toy features, more cardboard box, more box plastic and more anything while also being cheaper. Even the Figure it comes with probably costs more than the Scout Trooper!!!

[@jjrj8568]

Hey, at least it comes with a display base, since it's supposed to be flying; thanks, Cashbro...

[@maniax7517]

Bought a second one for like $18.00 at Walmart. I was super hyped!!!

[@lonewanderer9485]

New scout trooper looks like a shrunken Black Series version. I’d say it’s a good thing, because old scouts were scuffed in my opinion

[@viperson9818]

Imagine charging basically $30 for a speeder bike. Seriously this is $30 max. These toy companies like LEGO and even habro is charging premium prices for not so premium quality.

[@lamarravery4094]

The Helmut size is accurate, but I wished it had better articulation in the wrists.

[@MTB214]

I won’t be getting this new speeder bike. The difference is that McFarlane is private and Hasbro isn’t. Paying stock holders is what Hasbro has to do. McFarlane can eat cost for some things and make it up elsewhere, like keeping fans happy in the long run.

[@MychalMinerGaming]

Only tvs and black series I’ll 100% try to get are the arc troopers. Always loved them. Fordo is best boy. Always wanted the rancor battalion guys. I’ve got both havocs. I’m definitely skipping that Appo and probably that shiny Commando. Hoping target stocks the new Legacy Evolution waves so I can get the deluxes a little cheaper.

[@davidbrickproductions]

Australian prices are even worse, when this went up for pre-order at zing/eb games (aussie gamestop) I thought oh this looks cool and saw the price of $95 and was like nope

[@notamethadict]

my god that's horrendous

[@lamarravery4094]

Now we need Hasbro to make various styles of swoop bikes to travel through the sands of Tatooine.

[@francoisregis2155]

Here in canada the speeder bike sell for 66,99$ I think I will wait for clearance

[@lakishahudson-benbow9361]

Hi this is so cool I got mine the start of summer

[@MB-pc4cs]

As far as the size of the head goes, you need to look at it like a human head needs to fit comfortably inside.The old figure clearly has a micro head. The new figure looks perfect. Awesome figure. Some of my first ROTJ stuff in 83 was the Kenner Speeder Bike and Scout Trooper or Biker Scout, whatever they called it. I forgot the card of that original Kenner figure is what's on the Vintage Collection card in this set, which has not been released on it own, yet. It makes me want it more.

[@MB-pc4cs]

Also.... Unfortunately, I think we all pay Disney "bad STAR WARS character and story tax" on good STAR WARS merch. Like this. Failed movies and entertainment none of us wanted or asked for, characters nobody buys, and never sells. Someone has to pay for that stuff. The people who buy GOOD STAR WARS, pay for it in a Star Wars Speeder Bike and Scout Trooper. Or $17 for a good action figure ($25 in Canada). Madness.

[@2yan22productions]

Hi j4 i found the animated phase 2 rex bendable knees at a savers( its a local thrift shop) for 5 bucks with other garbage and when i saw it i was shaking

[@commanderblaze9gaming397]

I got mine on sale luckily

[@Shogun1948]

Hasbro totally lost that 2012 speeder bike tooling. The tired ass ATST gets trotted out every couple years, no way they wouldnt release the old mold if they still had access to it.

[@calcady7335]

Literally just saw this thing for $17 at Walmart.

[@IntergalacticBricks]

Hey Jcc in the new Star Wars game by funko, Star Wars rivals, in like the starter set there is a Cody figure (it’s painted and kinda chibi)

[@kevint1911]

When you consider that a carded figure costs $17 now, and you deduct that price from the $45 of this release, $28 for a newly sculpted speeder bike seems ok. Having said that, I have to agree it isn’t worth $45. Also, the figure wasn’t all new. Just a new helmet sculpt, so that isn’t worth $17 either.

[@rndomm0nkey847]

i honestly bought the pretty bad tube 2019 figures and one recent episode 6 han solo figure because i want star wars badly but the pricing is terrible. the han solo was $17.99 while tmnt made a 12" big $20 ninja turtle.

[@lamarravery4094]

Luckily I paid $29 for it from Amazon about a month ago.

[@izziewolf2834]

I found mine for $17 at walmart today they putting them on sale

[@TheCatWatches]

$45 is $5 less than the $50 Bespin Carbon Freezing Chamber

[@jeebus2313]

I still have my old Black Series scout speeder (minus the stand which I have *no* clue where that went lmao) and the fact that this is around the same price I paid for the 6-inch version is actually insane.

[@dennislogan9836]

Yeah just wait for the price of the new haslab price sticker i heard something over like $500 who the hell has that type of money to just drop on a toy collection and they want the fans to fund it!!! Honestly guys i think we been funding hasbro,Disney for way to long with the price hikes and what do we get with all the extra money we spent on figures ships play set repaints or not really movie accurate or the fix one trouble part of the figure but leave the other part that needs attention alone im just saying that its crazy what they are doing to the STAR WARS line and it's fans

[@willkrupa1173]

Seriously though, and when the haslab ends and the shipping date for the BoBF throne and a few other figures, you’re looking at 1000$ just for probably 500$ worth quality

[@woofy680]

$40.00 ten years ago is equivalent to $45.00 today. Maybe even more if someone calculated the cost of living from this time period. From seeing this at best maybe $25.00. So much disappointing for the price.

[@jedimasterboltsproductions6433]

Just got it for 25!

[@clonetrooperfan3401]

This is exactly why I don’t buy newer figures from hasbro. The prices are ridiculous especially when you could’ve bought figures for $10 just 10 years ago. Hell, I’ve got multiple RotS figures shipping cause hasbro just ain’t it

[@yfz350twin]

I rip those bubbles off no mercy.

Hey jcc, have you been to the toy departments new location? I went yesterday and it was incredible!!

Hello there

Can you do a video? About every single star scream hasbro has made.

[@Jcc2224]

Absolutely not, I don't even have a fraction of them! lol But I might make a Starscream collection video someday!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

New one, very fartworthy, old one, crap 😛👍

Naaah. The only cons I usually go to are either Lex-con in Lexington KY or Power-con in Columbus. I'll be at Power this year!

[@Jcc2224]

Just Sunday I think!

[@ultracarterzilla6939]

If I was in charge of the prices for vehicles, I would’ve charged the biker scout and speeder bike for $20. I would charge the recently released AT-ST with Chewbacca for $35 to $40.

[@lamarravery4094]

The CEO wants to make profits for Hasbro so he wants to raise the price? But how will they profit if we don't buy because the prices are too high, lol. The CEO needs a brain, better yet, he should be fired.
