Just got the Revell set, it's quite good actually. No paint or glue required, no separating parts from the sprue and you'll have the two bikes built in 10 minutes. The bikes are under-scaled mind you, 1/28th scale as opposed to 1/18th. The figures included with the set definitely look too small. The bikes themselves aren't bad displayed with any SA trooper, though they can't reach the foot pedals properly.I remember seeing the Revell model set of this Trooper/Bike this past summer (on store shelves), but had 0 interest in this since I don't like/collect models. Also, even if I didn't mind the model aspect & just wanted to display this, it appeared to be slightly smaller in scale than the 3.75" figures, and wouldn't have gone well with the regular figures in my collection.
Agree 100%. The Rey that came with the Speeder from TFA line didn't have articulated knees, and looked terrible & awkward sitting on the bike; you had to buy another, more articulated Rey in order to have one that sat on the bike, and that didn't have the correct head (with the face mask). Very sloppy & cheap on Hasbro's part.TBH, Hasbro should skip a single release and simply jump into doing a Imperial Patrol Speeder with a pack-in, but not a direct reissue but a retool with articulated knees at least (much like the First Order Speeder Bike Elite stormtrooper).
So now that they did the multi pack, this should get its own individual release right?
I have the bike waiting...

Unless you are a jaded fan that is going into watching Solo with the preconceived notion that you WILL dislike it...I can guarantee you will find it an enjoyable and fun Star Wars movie.No edit button:
I also wanted to add that the die cast metal ITP ship is fairly cool; I hadn't seen this before - if it's still being found @ retail, I'll probably get two of these. I typically discount these ships, but since this hasn't been made in the 3.75" scale yet, I'd like to have at least one version of this
I am on the verge of finally watching Solo for the first time (on Blu-ray), and I look forward to seeing all of these new ships & vehicles in the film. I

Good point. Actually, despite the fact that Solo got slammed by critics & fans alike, I have already decided that I'll probably like this; I've inadvertently run across numerous "spoilers" re: the film (almost unavaoidable at this point, since the film has been out for almost six months) and this sounds like it's a great, solid SW film. I already like the tech., new Imperial armored troops, etc. that I've seen in the trailers & in the Solo toys, so at the least I'm 100% sure I'd like the film from a visual stand-point, and probably from a story stand-point as well.Unless you are a jaded fan that is going into watching Solo with the preconceived notion that you WILL dislike it...I can guarantee you will find it an enjoyable and fun Star Wars movie.
Recently saw Solo on Blu-ray and was floored - superb film. I've written a long review in the dedicated Han Solo film thread in the SW Spin-off films section on this board.I have a feeling that you will like Solo.
I hope they do it too. It looks like the torso is at least partly a Death Trooper's. But I'd really rather they make it instead of chopping up other great SA figures to make it. :{JNice bike, but I'm not sure the 5POA figure will fit very well. That's why I'm hoping they end up making an SA version!
