Speeder bikes

The Hasbro Black Series Speeder Bike with Biker Scout is a pretty inexpensive figure to buy. And not bad at all for the price...

Target aquired 
Chillin, chillin 
The double jointed elbow is nice

Hasbro's Shadow Squadron is very nice.
There are two figures: a Black Stormtrooper with a black pauldron and a Biker Scout.
They are very impressive for the money.

The S H Figuarts offering looks amazing on the pictures but costs vastly more money than Hasbro for a figure/bike that is just the same size.

The publicity photos are fabulous but the real thing is underwhelming.
I really liked the Biker Scout but the speeder bike is not as good as expected.
It may need touching up with Tamiya weathering paints...

For the money, the Shadow Squadron is easily the most impressive of the three.
