Title: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: Valtar on August 15, 2003, 01:39 AM
Has any one seen the 12" BikerScout at retail {not the one with the Bike.} I want to get one but have yet to find it anywhere except on the net.  If I have to I will get it over the net but was just wondering if anyone has had any luck finding them in your home town.  :-\

I've seen the Biker Scout several times at Meijer, be it in Toledo, or at the cottage in Michigan. Pretty nice, IMO. I might have also seen him at a Target a little farther from my house too.

I THINK I saw it this past weekend at Wizard World.  It looked nice, but the pieces from the assortment that I'm really interested in are the Luke (gone one!) and Yoda.

I've been combing stores everywhere looking for this bad boy, but NO dice.

Sigh.  The coolest army builders are ALWAYS the first to go.

I here Ya JoshEEE,  I am probley gonna have to get it Via E-bay I really didn't want to go that way on getting it.  But seems that is the only place other than Brian's Toys, at the time he has them way over priced, At least to me he does.

Good Luck on getting it JoshEEE... you will need it, seems so will I.

I haven't seen a new 12" figure since November by me.  I would LOVE to get my hands on a 12" Biker Scout figure.

Legends did have it at one time. Nothing on evilbay thus far. May have to check somewhere else. Online store via US or if anyone has found them out there!  :-\

Just checked The Outer Reaches. Member price, $40.31 CDN, non-member, $44.79 CDN.
Lifetime membership is $25.19.  Not!

Nothing else in Canuckland!

I have never seen the Lando Skiff wave or this wave (Biker Scout) on shelves.

I had to get the Lando wave from a freind in Oregon and the Biker I ordered through EE...

I have seen Lando just recently along with AT-ST Driver and Han Solo.  I have not seen the Biker Scout, Ewoks or Yoda.

They just recieved some at the Target here in Modesto, CA.  Man is it really nice, i like the Yoda, that is my fav, but Biker Scout is cool too!
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: dustrho on October 21, 2003, 08:46 PM
Still no sign of the Biker Scout.  I have only heard of people finding Yoda and Luke Skywalker in my area, but definitely no Biker Scout (unless someone is hoarding them all).
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout

I found a lone scout at my TRU a few weeks back.The wave went through here pretty fast.I missed the Ewoks. :'(
Been checking back when I get chances but nothing else has turned up.
How am I supposed to build my army up with suck ass distribution like this?

I hear ya Chris.Its damn frustating to say the least.I'm hoping a few show up under the Christmas tree but for now it looks like Ebay is the only Santa for these puppies. ;D

The search continues..

Post by: Morgbug on November 30, 2003, 05:52 PM
Why is this wave so hard to find?  I only want a single biker scout, loose would be fine, but jeez, with the rarity of this item, timing it right could net me a speeder bike version cheaper ::) but for the shipping.  
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: Valtar on December 8, 2003, 12:07 PM
I still have not found any in my area  :'(  I have seen yoda and Luke but no Biker scout  :-\ the only one I wanted to get from the wave to.
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout

there is good distribution with 12" over here, so if i see one i will pick it up for you buddy.

If you happen to find another could you pick me up one?   ;D  I still haven't found one of these guys in stores yet.  Haven't seen any from that particular wave yet either.

Anyone still looking for the 12" Biker Scout or any other doll from this wave? Tonight I picked up the Ewok 2-pack for Stan.
My TRU has just stocked many from this wave: Yoda, Biker Scout, Luke, and the other day I picked up the new Garindan.

Let me know if you need any help. I will be more than happy to help you out.

You can PM or E-Mail Me.
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: Morgbug on December 16, 2003, 11:42 PM
Well, pass up the offer once, call me silly.  It would be plain stupid to pass it up twice.  

BB, I need a biker scout.  I have cash in paypal so can pay you right away or can send it down snail mail.  Be forewarned, I'm in Canuckada.  LMK if you can help out.

cheers.

That's exactly why I'm sitting on it right now.  Hasbro really needs to start shipping these out to all corners of the world, because I haven't seen anything from that particular wave.   >:(

Post by: Billy Ray on January 2, 2004, 12:46 PM
I found the whole wave last night at my local Wal-Mart!  I also spotted a lone Luke at TRU a couple of days ago.
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout

Yep, I've seen a few people reporting finds of this wave at Wal-Mart.Keep your eyes peeled folks,looks like they are finally showing up.

If anyone finds a Biker Scout or a few, grab them. I need one & so do a few of us.  :)

I think Brent still needs 1.

Yes I do, thank you.  It is proving to be quite elusive.  I can't even arrange for one over on McFarlane :-\

Post by: Taminar on January 3, 2004, 12:06 AM
I checked two Wal-marts, Target, and TRU last weekend and nothing.  Guess I'll make the rounds again Saturday.  Of course, if they're just now hitting the "secondary" markets, Pensacola's still weeks away from getting them.

I found one the other day at Wal-mart in Germantown, MD. I am very happy with it.

Post by: britt1 on January 11, 2004, 05:26 PM
I am looking for the Biker Scout as well and haven't seen any of the new ones in Central Texas :(

Star Wars figures in general  are kinda slim here. Walmart only has 4 pegs and they are usually older figs if any at all.
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: dustrho on January 25, 2004, 05:46 PM
I STILL haven't found this figure anywhere yet.  If Hasbro would only sell directly to the consumers, I would be an extremely happy camper.
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: britt1 on January 27, 2004, 11:55 PM
I noticed my Wal-Mart has started re-tagging the shelves I guess to reset them. Anyway I saw a sticker for the 12 inchers and it was $24.95. What happened to $19.95?  Good grief, it would cost $100 just to get the four figs! :(
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: CyberScout on January 31, 2004, 11:05 PM
I've all but given up on ever finding anything from this wave again. Still nothing and I dont think my Wally World ever got any or ever will. What a tragedy this has turned out to be. I've even contemplated using Ebay a few times. Thanks for the shaft Hasbro,next time please allow me to be bend over and lube up first.

i havent seen a 12" Biker Scout for a while, not to mention any 12" i havent really seen any, . Still havent seen the Obi-Wan, Garindian wave yet either.
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: JediMAC on February 19, 2004, 08:57 PM
Still haven't seen the Biker Scout yet, but I did recently find the "new" 12-inch Garindan and Obi-Wan at a local TRU.  Anyone still need either of those?  I'd be happy to fire 'em off to you if you do!   8)

EDIT:  Found them again tonight, along with the Jawas, at a couple TRUs.  Looks like they're finally trickling out.  Still no Biker Scouts though...

hmmm, sounds tempting. i haven't been able to find those... why not take a look at my updated trade list link in my sig and see if your tru has any of the other figures i'm looking for, maybe we can go for round three (after, of course, i finish paying for round 2)  ;D

Thanks to JuvyD (Jim) I have my 12" biker scout.  Woot!  Call me one happy camper and insert happy dancing icon here __________

Also got my Yoda 5"??? figure from him.  It is very well done, but I can't help but feel that maybe it's a bit of a rip off on Hasbro's part.  Oh sure, the chair is there with some other cool accessories, but with the Jawas and the Ewoks, there were two figures at least.  I guess they think the chair makes up for it :-\

after all that looking, and searching, and waiting - is he worth it (my answer is yes)?  ;D
quite possibly the best 12" figure hasbro has done so far, at least imo. although the one that came with the bike is a little better me things.

i felt the same way. i broke down and ordered one from brian's toys for $30 (which i didin't think was actually too bad, considering what i had seen them going for on ebay), not to mention that i picked up a bunch of other 12" figs i needed that they had on clearance for $12 each. but when the box came, i opened it up and felt a little short changed. and let's go into the "articulation" on yoda, if you want to call it that. not sure if you open 12" or not, but i open all of mine. and the articulation on yoda flat out sucks. i mean, i guess it's kinda keeping in line with the articulation on the entire 12" line - since they all suck. and the energy beam that he comes with is very, uhhh.... limp and flimsy. if i place it in his hand pointing up, by the next morning it's pointing down and won't go back up (get your mind out of the gutter  ;) ) so i pretty much end up flipping it over every morning while i wait for my pc to boot up.
Title: Re: Has Anyone seen 12" BikerScout
Post by: Morgbug on June 21, 2004, 09:33 PM
I haven't cracked him out of the box yet.  The head just seems so damn big, probably because the last figure I picked up in this scale is the tiny-mellon-Boba.  That just looks weird.  This one will be a most excellent fit beside the AT-AT driver, snowtrooper, stormtrooper and sandtrooper.  I got the right Vader as well.  

I would have loved to have the speeder bike version, but it just wasn't practical.  That was never released here in Canada and I wasn't collecting 12" while it was around.  The shipping was a killer, I'm sure, for those that did pick it up and have it shipped.  

Gutter?  What gutter? :-*

Saw the whole wave at TRU yesterday. If I recall correctly, it's the first time I've seen any in stores. They cut the box open right in front of me, otherwise I'm sure I'd have missed it. I was on a buying spree and bought the Ewoks, although I had not been looking for them. I kept looking at the scout thinking I'd love to get it to offer on RS, but I couldn't afford it.
