He's been out in the UK for 2 weeks now. An excellent figure and he is about the same size as Primus. The attention to detail is amazing and the lights and sounds for once compliment a figure.

That would explain the price: $ 55.99! :shock: I'm not a typical Star Wars fan, but he's a planet former, I'm a sucker for those... :-?

My Target got them in a few days ago and are not supposed to be put out until the week the Transformers DVD will be released

But from past experiance other Targets don't follow the rules and put them out anyways

They are in stock at HTS.
I bought one Thursday from Hasbro Toy Shop with the Discount Code. Mine was only $37.50 with the discount.

Cool, this is about the only SWTF I want, so I look forward to getting him. Still, with shipping I got 2 for 1 on the Millenium Falcon, so I may wait to see if I can do that again.

Just finished his planet mode. What a bitch! It actually is fun, but it is the supreme puzzle former! Basically you fold his legs up and try to align the shell, but it is almost like a game that if you let one piece slipp out, you have to start over. I'll take pics of it next to the other planet formers, but I got to go pick up dinner first.

Damn...I almost bought this on the Hasbro site with the discount code, but I am glad I didnt.

I love Vader, I love Transformers, but he looks kinda small for the $50 price tag. Looks like he's at least 3-5 inches shorter than Primus... LOL... I bought my Primus for $25 on Hasbro.com, so I am not about to shell out $50 for something smaller than him.

A complex transformation, and more pics, cool 2 things to look forward to!

That is unless it has the same type of defects as Leader Brawl :?

Anyhow, I still look forward to the comparison shot, and if you wouldn't mind, could you also toss one of the insert in as well? I've been real curious about the box size of this figure. I trust you when you said nothing special is going on in there, but it would just shut my stupid brain up :P

Enjoy your eats :grin:

Agreed, I realy want to ad this to my collective, but I might have to wait for a deal.

That is unless impulse once again gets the better of me :P

It makes sense that he's smaller than the others if you want to display them together, but... For the same ammount of money ? Something be wrong with that.

Acording to the Argos Catologue, he's been available in the UK since sometime in August. Seeing as I have NO interest in the thing, I never chaecked.

Maybe if you had made a post then, it would be. But no one has posted about it yet.
