If you want just the SA Biker Scout with Flip Up Visor head here:

Biker Scout

They are $11,99 plus shipping, but If you just want the one figure and not the $30 tin, this is not a bad way to go.

He had 45 left after I got my "group"...

This is the guy that supplied me with over half of my VTSC Biker Scouts.

He also has this clone:

Blue Clone

Same price. 

I broke down and bought one of each. In the long run, it saves me cash. Thanks, Paul.

I: Hate
II: Love
III: you have to be kidding, Hasbro
IV: so-so
V: so-so
VI: WILL NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, support anything that is churned out of Hasbro that contains a single TRACE of that disastrous, 100% ****tacular POTF2 Rebel fleet trooper-WHY DUZ hasbro think anyone has any interest in getting another one of those

in the end, when I see all 6 basking in 30th aniv. coll. packed glory at my local TRU, I will only salvage the 30 bucks for that super Ep. II one-its fabulous, the rest are a total waste

 ???  There's a rebel fleet trooper in the ROTJ Tin set? Unless you're refering to the bearded Endor trooper we're getting?

Is that the 500th Vader? 

Either way, I can't believe they put the POTF2 Endor Trooper and Celebration Leia in the same set as the VTSC Biker Scout.

isn't that insane? i HATE this tin set :P the votc vader is not a turd- the 500th Vader is because we've seen it @ least 5 times in the last year-and we're getting it again. i HATE this tin set i HATE it i HATE it i HATE it i HATE it i HATE it...why would anyone pay for this? Hasbro, if you're reading this, then i want you to know that i HATE this set!!! >:( and i think i speak for everyone in saying that this one will be in clearance @ target in mass numbers until 2010! retailers will have to be handing them out free with the purchase of any 4" basic figure while supplies last-and believe me, the supplies will last. The supplies will last for a VERY, VERY, VERY long time!!!

Nothing.  I thought we were getting the 500th Vader again.

The only problem with the VOTC Vader is that most of us already have him.  Then again, most of us have 75% of the Saga line already....

I have to go against the trend here and say that the ROTJ set is one of the 2 I'm getting.  The Leia is finally the perfect color after that Leia collection pinkish version, is smaller in scale than the all-plastic POTF2 version (with better proportions) and has soft goods which would have been better accepted in today's VOTC/VTSC line had it been released recently.  The Scout with visor closed will go right into my Endor scene (there's no Temeura Morrison in MY Scout armor :P).  I can certainly use another decent-sculpted Endor trooper with new head, and the Vader- well, I can find a place for him ;D

Granted the Leia is accurate. I just think its a slap in the face to pack in that horrible Endor Soldier when there are two amazing ones being shipped right now in the Endor 2 wave.

I decided to pass on TPM set, I'll get the droid through trades.
The ROTS is an OK set IMO because I only have 1 Yoda. The Mace will go tocustoms once the new SA one comes.
The ANH & AOTC sets are my favorite, they have no duds, well besides 3PO. ;)
