9490 Droid Escape is a Classic Star Wars set to be released in 2012. It will contain the famous droids C-3PO, R2-D2, two amazingly detailed Sandtroopers, a small cute escape pod which comes apart into two pieces, and a tiny brown and light grey Imperial speeder bike.

Notes

  • The Sandtroopers in this set have different coloured pauldrons- one has white (for sergeant) and one has orange (for squad leader). They also have printing on their helmets and torso depicting dirty armour, and the legs are also printed. This amazing detail is why most collectors whish to by this set but it has many other advantages to it as well such as C3PO, R2D2 and the nice escape pod.* C-3PO has a new design, like the little lines in his torso gap and new eye printing, but is the same colour as in other sets.
  • This set includes the some of the first Star Wars figures with printing on the minifigures "feet" along with the Bomb Squad Trooper and ARC Trooper.
  • It is a re-design of 7106 Droid Escape released in 2001, 11 years before the release of the new 9490 Droid Escape.
  • The Sandtroopers will have awesome black heads with printed faces, much like Jango Fett.
  • A Sandtrooper Imperial speeder Bike is also included.
