Barbie Leia on a Speeder Bike. Lets hope she's going to be here. Time will tell I guess.

I hope she's released here soon, I like this version of Leia (except that I hope her hair is not red like the previous pictures I've seen).  For this particular one I wish that she wasn't smiling but I'll take it over the CS Leia anyday.  I'm one of the ones that liked the celebration Leia and was always hoping for better ones.  Maybe it has to do with the Barbie collector in me but I like her and I'm hoping that I can get a few because I can always pick up another scout trooper to ride the extra speeder and use the new body for other Leia's.

I sure hope she comes to the Targets out by me.  I wouldn't pass her up in a heartbeat.

Last I have heard Target is the store to have this product this Fall. It would make sense since they had the Biker Scout and Luke.

Wish I had picked up the Biker Scout & Speeder Bike package when it was out.  But at that time I wasn't a die-hard collector.   :'(

I noticed that too.  Some people just have way too much money to spend, and if you're just a little bit patient then you could get it a lot cheaper.

Save those receipts.  I smell a clearance.

I *always* save my receipts in case of a sale or clearance.  I hope I can find Leia with Speederbike here.  I hate exclusives, because they're that much harder to find; the non-exclusives are bad enough, at least in this area.  If it's not poor distribution, it's all the flea-market and eBay dealers.

There are some nice photo's of the new Leia on her bike that someone took over in the 12" section at rebelscum's forums.  He gives a nice review also.

Just received her:

Leia-no helmet (http://103558627.home.icq.com/hp/gear/photo/Doll%20Collection.html?item=20.1)

Leia-helmet (http://103558627.home.icq.com/hp/gear/photo/Doll%20Collection.html?item=20.2)

I like the blaster damage to the bike and I like the doll in general.  The articulation is good, the clothing makes two outfits (take off the poncho and you have the Endor breifing room).  The hair is well done and I can put her in a Hoth suit for another scene.  Not crazy about the smile, the only complaint I have (and it's minor at that).

All in all...I like it ;D.

Great pictures Beth!  The bike looks awesome, but I really don't care for the face on Leia.  That smile has got to go.

Hi Carrie!

It's a great item and the best part is that she's got the one doll-two-costume thing going!!

PS:  Looking at your sig, I am assuming you collect bulls/cows of some sort...am I right?

I can't wait for this to come out!!!  Maybe my hubby will get me it for my bday in September.  

Yes, I collect cows on parade.  Dustrho posted a pic in the collecting forum a while back.  I don't have close to what he has in Star Wars.   :D

I got my Leia in the mail about a week ago. I just now got around to opening her up. Just like the Other Speederbikes with different (Battle Damaged) paint job. Leia is alright. Nice to have an Endor Leia.

I have all the 12" figures to date so Leia is a welcomed edition to my 12" collection. Though all of my 12" except for a few are in big plastic boxes. Leia will be joining them.

Only if I had the room to display my 12" collection. Maybe someday, maybe someday.

Well I can't believe it but I did get this for $12.12 at my local Target last night.  I can't believe it was that dirt cheap.  Thanks to the this site I was aware of the price change and checked it out.  I feel great getting this because it completes my 12 inch speederbike collection with Luke and the Bike Scout.  

The only problem with it is of course her goofy smile.  But it's likely the only Endor version we'll get of her at least for awhile.  For that price I am thrilled to get this.

Since Target has the 12" Leia on for a pretty good price, if anyone gets a chance, can you pick one up for me. :)

IN case anybody cares - Target in Westminster, MD has about 30 of them still on the shelf for $12.48

I bought a cheap one. There's only two left here. Now I need to find the single-packed Biker Scout. :)
