Another great release from Bandai for their StarWars line is the 1/12 Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike. For sure, getting Bandai to implement their mad skills in bringing model kits to life for the StarWars product line has got to be one of the best ideas of the century. Ok, Ok, that's hyperbole but it just has to be said, Bandai's scale model kit designers are artisans. Every time they release something in the StarWars series it makes my jaw drop.
On a side note, I was surprised that the Speeder Bike is color brown. I always thought that it was color gray.
The 1/12 Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike is selling for $45.13 at Amazon.
