    Hasbro have apparently said Vader will be released later in the year in the normal Black Series packaging, but no exact date has been given as far as I know.


    Also, R5-D4 in the 40th anniversary packaging currently seems to be a GameStop exclusive.

    PUNY HUMANS!

          The Vader is amazing. I still need to take pictures of my vintage first 12 display and the new 6 inch display. I will take some pics of the 2 Vaders side by side. The new one has a bunch of differences in Vaders outfit. It is so dead on movie accurate. I have the wave 2 set of figures on the way. I can't wait to add the Jawa, Death Star Commander , and the Sand person to my collection. I have been head over heels in love with the 6 inch line since it came out.

            I need to get one of those display stands for my vintage SW figures. Apparently the pegs are a perfect fit, and from the pics I've seen online, the old figures look pretty nice on the new stand (and it's a cheaper option than getting a vintage stand).

              It looks like series one is hitting retail really hard now. I have seen them at 2 different targets and 5 Walmarts. Also have seen the Vader with Display at several Walmarts and Toysrus. I actually picked up another r2 just yesterday. And i should have my Sandperson, Jawa, and Death Star Trooper today or tomorrow. So i will try and get some pictures taken of the vintage and new display, as well as the different Vaders.

                This is pretty cute.

                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  I have been collecting them to. I went to a random GameStop yesterday and found the R5d4. Talk about luck! I picked up the Luke xwing limited edition at Star Wars Celebration. I have Ben, Luke, and Leia but can't find R2d2 or Han Solo anywhere where I live.
                  In a way it's fun searching them out around town. It reminds me when I was a kid searching different stores trying to find figures.
                  However I just might order the second set when it comes out. I might just go to Hasbro's site and order them all at once..
                  These toys are really taking off!..

                      Found two Lukes, a Leia and Obi-Wan at the local Wal-Mart, just sitting on a lower shelf, cardbacks down. So look high and low for these!

                        Wife dragged me to Wal-Mart on Friday, i found Luke, Leia and Darth Vader. She didn't like Luke or Leia, I kind of liked the Vader but not "$30plustax" like, so i'll stick to vintage. I bought a hoodie instead.

                          TRU had Vader at $39.99. I put that right back on the shelf. Toy prices are out of control

                            The Vader figure is one of my favourite Black Series 6 inch releases so far. Hasbro did a great job on the sculpt for that one.

                              It's nice but not worth $40....not sure How toy stores can keep the ball rolling at extortion prices

                                It's only that price because of the diorama packaging. It's been promised that the $20 version will be available soon.

                                The original trilogy BS figures and some of the prequel BS figures (barring flukes here or there) go like hotcakes.

                                Taken simply as 6 inch scale figures, these are probably too expensive at $20.

                                However, the very high secondary market prices for these are proof that these figures aren't only a home-run... they are a grand SLAM.
