WOW ! That is huge. The Jabba is enormous at 65 cm wide, but this will exceed it by 20 cm. And what will the cost be ????

This would not matter to me, i'd buy it immidiatly.

Also a very good idea, both would be okay too. I love troopers and their toys!!!

they confirmed that the poll winners would be made for sure so....

I'm excited mainly for Boba, but will wait to see more of the Speeder Bike such as size and price.

Josh2K4 · 06-01-2007, 02:44 PM

slave1pilot's reasoning on size seems to make sense....

85cm of attakus :O cant wait to add this piece to my collection, my guess is this piece will be made in a 750piece run since 1500 seems a bit to much for such an item....

I realy hope there will be more Bounty Hunter's in series 5 other than Boba.

I do like that Attakus will produce a new Boba.

Size is not the problem. The larger the piece is, the more impressive it is, as long as it doesn't lose its detail. The price is gonna be a problem for alot of people though, so I think they will decide on a run of 750, such as Josh2k4 mentioned. The Jabba is 799 MSRP; Jabba + Leia 949; could the Biker Scout w/ Speeder Bike reach the 1000 mark ?

I was kinda hoping Admiral Ackbar would win. That would have been great!

I completely agree. I want an Attakus stand alone Scout Trooper badly and with Sideshow already making a Scout on Speeder Bike I don't think its a good idea to make another.

Yes you are right, the statue cannot loose detail when it's big.
Common when it reaches the 1000 dollar mark, there are also CM statues who are even above. It's always nice when you have something to look forward too.
I agree it's a LOT of money, but i won't hesitate and buy it in a heartbeat, it's ATTAKUS!!!

With Speeder Bike or without, both will be outstanding. As i write above, i would buy him in a heartbeat.

as far as the price is concern it still a mather of guessing but heres mine:

The probe droid costs 459dollar which is 57cm. Add to it a (sand)trooper of 389 and you have a speederbike for about 850-900dollars - should be fine by me since that would be about 100dollars per 10cm, I wish I could get a yoda1 for that ratio :P
