Hasbro has made good on their intentions to get that missing scanner box into collector&#8217;s hands. The accessory is the real star of this set as it has a ton of detail and little greebies that just feel &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; in nature plus it sits atop the scanning &#8220;cart&#8221; completing the equipment set. The figures are no slouches either as the Imperial Technican is a repaint of the TLC version, but with a new head sculpt. The Stormtrooper (TK-421) takes the VOTC version and refreshes it with the new style E-11 blaster (the one with the collapsible stock) and a new belt with grappling hook details and a removable comlink, which I fully expect will be lost\/misplaced by many collectors over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS: <\/strong>Availability is spotty as of now and this one will surely be the tougher of the two crew sets to track down. The holster for the stormtrooper doesn&#8217;t hold the larger E-11 blaster sculpt without some major futzing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TVC\/exclusives\/scanning_crew_imperial.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n<p>You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Yakfacecom\/202559486798?ref=mf\">facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/\">forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates resume with our next entry for the Vintage Collection.
