Rarity
Uncommon; while not exclusive to one set, it features a significant mold upgrade that appeared in several mid-to-high range sets between 2019-2022.
Head
Plain black head piece intended to represent the shaded visor area behind the helmet opening.
Torso
White torso with Scout Trooper armor pattern front and back; features sand blue and dark bluish gray mechanical detailing; white arms with light nuget/flesh hands.
Legs
White legs with hip printing; front printing includes knee protection plates and utility belt pouches; side leg printing is absent on this specific version.
Accessories
Typically comes with a small black blaster pistol (not pictured). The helmet is the primary accessory, featuring dual-molding technology with a black visor integrated into the white mold.
Color Scheme
Primary white with black, light bluish gray, sand blue accents, and light flesh hands.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso and legs; the helmet uses dual-molding for the visor rather than printing, ensuring the black doesn't rub off.
Variants
Standard Scout Trooper (sw0005, sw0505) with printed visors; Kashyyyk Scout (sw0515) in camoflauge; modern dual-molded version (sw1007) as seen here.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check for 'neck cracks' on the torso and loose arm joints. The dual-molded helmet is very durable.

Character Background
Imperial Scout Troopers (Biker Scouts) first appeared in Return of the Jedi, specialized for reconnaissance and high-speed chases on Endor.
Design Notes
The 2019 redesign (sw1007) replaced the 20-year-old helmet mold with a dual-molded piece that provides a more realistic 'hollow' visor look.

Collectibility
High demand for army building; remains a staple of the Star Wars line but is frequently sought after to replace older versions in collections.
History
Scout Troopers have been in the LEGO Star Wars line since 1999. This specific iteration represents the current standard of accuracy and molding technology.
Interesting Facts
For the first few years of Scout Trooper production, the helmet visor was a simple black print that was often misaligned; this dual-molded version fixed that 20-year design flaw.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for Endor-themed dioramas with 74-Z Speeder Bikes or posed next to the UCS AT-AT.
Modification Potential
The dual-molded helmet is a favorite for 'purist' customizers looking to upgrade older 1990s/2000s era Imperial troopers.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, high-fidelity minifigure that represents the pinnacle of Imperial trooper design. A must-have for Star Wars enthusiasts.
