• This Biker Scout figure was released in September 2012 together with a Speeder Bike
• The figure fits perfectly onto the bike
• Thanks to a retool of the neck joint - it's possible to move the head back and forth slightly - which allows the trooper to look up (or straight/leaning forward when sitting on the bike)
• There is no head underneath the helmet
• Both blasters fit only loosely into the hands
• The holster on the right boot is too small for the blaster
• The paint application is applied nicely - but the mismatched black shoulder joints look off
• The included 5-piece mobile cannon is cool - it can be taken apart and be attached to the bottom of the bike
• The 2-piece clear see-through display stand plugs nicely into the back of the Speeder Bike
• The small support stand for the front plugs nicely onto the bike - giving it much needed balance support
• Both flaps on the back of the bike can be moved up and down
• The top of the bike can be opened - which then reveals the engine
• There is no "exploding" button - as seen on some older Speeder Bikes
• Despite a couple of things that could be improved - the entire set with the Speeder Bike - the Biker Scout - the mobile cannon - the display and support stand turned out brillantly - and it shows that Hasbro does understand and pays attention to what collectors ask for
• About the mismatched black shoulder joints - we've asked Hasbro about this issue before back in October 2010 - this is what they responded: "In order to control our tooling budgets - our vendors often decide which parts are tooled with which others for economy. As a result - it may mean the pins have different colors or needed to be painted to match molded parts - which can be tricky. It's something we're aware of - but we need to tolerate on occasion to get everything done the way we need it to be to hit targets."
• A very slightly re-tooled version of this Biker Scout figure was released single carded without the Speeder Bike in the 2013 The Black Series: Biker Scout figure

Biker Scouts patrol Endor on speeder bikes. The scouts look for Rebel incursions as they navigate swiftly through the dense forests. To provide the scouts with heavy-duty firepower, some bikes have blaster cannons that can be removed to create free-standing weapon emplacements.
