I hope that schedule is inaccurate. Luke and the DeLorean with an April Hong Kong release would suck.

That is a chunk of change. I was mostly referring to the wait though, sources have indicated both luke and the DeLorean could drop this year. Probably wishful thinking.

Not meaning this with any disrespect whatsoever - but why not budget for the release dates, then, no matter what happens, you always have the money sitting there for when it does actually arrive?

Edit: Spark extractor beat me to it, lol.

Woah! Can't see the face well but the helmet looks great here. Also, looks like Luke hasn't been pushed to next year after all!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Vader actually looks pretty good there.

Vader's height looks excellent to Luke! Helmet looks rad too.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

This could very well go from an Oh **** to a Must Buy.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm actually blown away by that Vader. Never bought the SS 2.0... and I don't even have this HT Vader on PO.

But I will now...

 

[TonTon]

New dome? Fixed height. Hmmmm

Cod piece looks like it's riding pretty low there. Looks like he's got a blue milk belly.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Was there an EX for Vader?

 

[The Green Goblin]

Going to wait until after spook to pre-order this guy. I may wait longer since I have Luke and Harry Potter pre-ordered and I don't want to get hit with 3 payments all in a short window just before the holidays.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Was there an EX for Vader?

Don't think so.

I haven't POed either since I was so unimpressed with proto and convention pics. I can't believe HT actually made improvements. I hope what we're seeing is not strictly due to favorable angles and/or lighting.

 

[Hologram AI]

Vader look really good there. Shame about the gloves still being the way the are but the figure looks improved overall. Height doesn't look insane and the head looks great there.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Did Howard pull a fast one, for the better, on us? I won't really believe the mask and helmet were improved until we see blogger pics.

His helmet even looks dopey on the box. Just too good to be true.

 

[DiFabio]

Looks great there. Hopefully it's not just the angle/lighting/pic (and the fact that the image is so small) and they actually improved on that awful wide eyed prototype. They should for $300.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Just ordered just in case. I'm sure there's plenty... but in the event there's a rush I feel I need a safety.
