EDIT: On the other vader, not the tie fighter, but the other small one, is that, a mechtech port on his wrist? I Had the Obi-Wan mold of that guy, And I swear, I do NOT Remember that.

Agreed in full, although, the Mellenium Falcon was pretty cool.

FYI ... they're $7 or $8 at Walmart and Target.

I disagree, the first wave has really bad. Yes the Vader Tie Advanced wasn't too bad. But the Luke X-Wing was horrible, and the Republic Fighter / N number of repaints wasn't all that good either. It wasn't as bad as Luke but it was by no means good. bobba Fet wasn't really good either.
I think they started getting better around the 3rd or 4th waves. When they stopped including the little pilots. Things like the Commander Cody, and the Millenium Falcon where better that the first few figures.

Uuuumm......both the last two you mentioned came with pilots.

So they do, my mistake. Still the first few were still awful.BeastProwl wrote:Overcracker wrote:Megatron Wolf wrote:the first vader was the best hell the first wave was the best, the 2nd wasnt bad then after that it just went downhill

,but i hate the Jedi Starfighters like Saesee Tiin and Ahsoka Tano, the ones with the "hyperdrive ring " they can not stand in either mode .About the new Vader ,people have been complaining about it just being a head flip to go from Vader to Anakin Skywalker ,the same point could be made about Masterpiece Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime .

I should mention that the Star Wars Transformers figures that were reissued for the Star Wars Crossovers line omitted the pilots entirely.

Neither did I and it looks to be a few bucks cheaper

Cuz after looking at the Seibertron pics he looks cool in DS mode next to Unicron. The only flaw I see so far is the color of the lightsaber, too pink looking. If I got my hands on this I would look for a cheap priced Tie Fighter Vader or Jedi Fighter and swap sabers. I never cared for this line so this would indeed be my only Star Wars Transformers fig period. So if anyone can comment that would be awesome, thanks!

Mine are all away in storage ATM, but if I remember correctly, the lightsaber that comes with it is light piped for the led in the fist, and is waaaaay bigger than the other lightsaber variants - colouring it in with a permanent red marker may darken it up some.
It all depends how big a SW fan you are/was - the Crossovers are no match for other TFs released in the same period, but get away with it for me due to my love of the SW universe - the advent of the Clone Wars series allowed them to take more liberties, IMHO - this time last year I got a Y-Wing and a Yoda Shuttle, and was appalled with how the quality had slipped even further, and I haven't bought one since.
I would say, get the Death Star, but it still isn't as good as Primus or Unicron, but, it is a nice companion piece that has dated a little, but still holds up well, compared to the other stuff out now.
Of course, this is just my opinion, but hope this helps somewhat!

It does and thanks for your feedback on this. I totally forgot about the LED in his fist and like a goof I didn't consider how much smaller other sabers would be compared to DS Vader. I really want to get him but my only fear is that he is reissued again. I don't think they have reissued Han & Chewie as the Falcon have they? If not than maybe no fear about Vader I suppose.

Check prices now, but if they aren't great, give it a couple weeks maybe, eBay prices always seem to spike after Seibertron.com articles (well it did when I went searching for 2007 Movie figs after the recent article). Lol, Counterpunching at it's finest!
Yeah, definitely go for the Death Star - first couple of times getting the panels lined up right are difficult, but it is worth it - espacially if you were to get only one SW Crossover (although I'd still recommend you get Han and Chewie too )
