Yeah, was said during stream.

 

[Angelo2113]

Yeah, was said during stream.

As soon as they said that, I was out. Nice lady though.

 

[slynger]

Yeah, was said during stream.

May I ask what was said?

 

[Mike86]

Feel the same. Vehicles are large things, has to be something special if I'm going to dish out that kind of cash. Like ROTJ bike.

Yeah. If this had been maybe $100 less I would have strongly considered it. For a Clone and a vehicle that’s cool but not super iconic (to me at least) the price is too high.

I have way more attachment to the Speeder Bike, and actually would almost like two if they were sold by themselves (one for the Scout, and one for Luke or Leia).

 

[Chainedstream]

May I ask what was said?

Hot Toys to be shown later tonight. Not much more. Think it's 17:00 PT, not sure though check their YT.

At these prices, just the BARC with Appo for me for now, especially if that AT-RT is coming.

I'm also picking up the original, ROTJ Speeder bike, so I need to be careful.

 

[hen88]

Cool design. I really like the speeder. But I have no idea who this character is, and I watched Clone Wars. I guess I nodded off on some of the clone-centric episodes.

So far, I'm totally underwhelmed by releases so far. Not one head sculpt.

 

[Darkseed]

It’s easy money and easy production run….them there head sculpts take much more time and guessing costs more money to produce……

Unfortanately, i am more a trooper collector with the occassional main character tossed in…..sheeet is expensive on this side

 

[Jedi_Col]

$515 from Sideshow is about what I expected. $610 for the heavy is a bit more but I guess the vehicle size adds the extra $100...

 

[Darkseed]

PO this bad boy no hesitation,..the other two hmmmmm

 

[evenflow]

These prices are insane for clones. I think I am out for these.

 

[SOU7567]

These prices are insane for clones. I think I am out for these.

The BARC is only $10 more than the ROTJ Speeder Bike, but the BARC with the side car..is a nice chunk of change.

That is why I'm just sticking with this one right now. God knows what that AT-RT is going to do to my wallet.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I finally got a chance to give these a good look over. I'm won't be getting the sidecar version that is for sure. The wonky look and method they had to use presumably for stability, having to buy yet another extra clone, and the included heavy weapons clone figure are all unappealing to me.

I kinda like the single barc though, and Appo is a much more appealing character. I do wish it had his more unique helmet with the arrow mark though. I also think it's a strange choice not to offer these individually. There are crazy people out there who would buy 3,4,5 barc speeders but I don't think they will if they have to army build Appo too.

 

[Stryker2011]

I honestly would have gotten the single Barc and the sidecar version if they didn’t come with the Troopers.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I honestly would have gotten the single Barc and the sidecar version if they didn’t come with the Troopers.

Imagine they offer Mando's chopper individually but not a CW barc speeder.

 

[Stryker2011]

Imagine they offer Mando's chopper individually but not a CW barc speeder.

Yeah. Makes no sense. I POd the stand-alone swoop bike as I had no interest in yet a 3rd Mando.

 

[SOU7567]

Imagine they offer Mando's chopper individually but not a CW barc speeder.

That is what is super weird about not offering the BARC alone and the clone(s) alone either, you'd open yourself to more sales this way too. I'm getting 1 of these, but I'm sure there are plenty of collectors out there that just want Appo or the BARC, who have 5 or 6 501st clones already and would just throw one of them on the bike.

 

[Chainedstream]

Yeah. Makes no sense. I POd the stand-alone swoop bike as I had no interest in yet a 3rd Mando.

Think, although not true to the series, the original Mandalorian suit will look nice on the swoop bike.

 

[Zodach]

I will wait for Neyo and BARC speeder.
