Time for another did you have this as a kid? Today we look at the Speeder Bike vehicle, I did not have this as a kid, did you have it?

It's weird that the Speeder Biker figure is sold separately. I would have thought it would have come with the figure., It is show differently on the box. I would have been upset as a kid with no figure, I never read the box as a kid, Big shock I know....

Love the articulation of the Biker Scout and how he looks like he's on a slide instead of riding a speeder...good times.

I had the Speeder Bike and loved that thing. I had the Ewok too, but lost him in a Tornado

I had the Speeder bike and friggin loved it. I remember the button on the back that made it assplode being the awesomest thing ever.
I also remember being pissed every time I got a vehicle. I don't think there was one SW vehicle sold in the 80's that actually came with a figure...anyone know this to be true?

I will be there watching that for sure. I loved the Padawan Menace one that they did and how the DVD came with a lego figure. Looking forward to this.
