Right, so I have the v1.0 (first release) and the v2.0 (Tarkin double-pack), and the 2.0 does indeed look better right out of the box.
My only worry is that the suit has a completely different feel to it, almost as if the v1.0 was made of actual leather and the v2.0 of pleather. Any body have any degradation issues with the new suit?

I haven’t heard anything. It may still be too soon to say.

I have the anh v1 vader and am planning on selling him on ebay, i just wanted some advice as to play it safe and list him at about $200.00 plus shipping at buy it now or list it as auction with a starting bid at $10.00. I want to sell vader to get the esb one from hot toys so selling it at $200.00 minimum is good for me.
 
If you break out the parts you’ll make more $$ but it’s more hassle. I think $250 BIN with free shipping though should sell if you just want to move it.

Thanks Ton Ton, I did'nt wanna set the price too high cuz the esb vader is $265.00 but i'll give it a shot and hopefully it'll sell at $250.00 shipped. Thank you Sir.
 
Yeah, I think the interrogation droid is still a draw. I always start at a price I think is reasonable then drop it by $5 or $10 if it’s not moving after the 10 or 30-day listing.

I mean, I think he was $300 plus shipping new after all.

Yeah, I think it was like $365.00 if I remember correctly so dropping the price by $100.00 for an older figure is not too bad, especially since if it does sell at $250.00 I wont have to fork over too much $$ for esb vader.
 
Well, decided to swap the entire chest/shoulder armor from the v1 to the v2, and I feel satisfied. Those black shoulder bells just looked wrong.
Very happy with this new Vader, although I'mm sure I'll miss the wrist articulation at some point...

BTW, Tarkin is great! The detail on the sculpt is amazing, although he looks a bit cartoony IMHO.
 
Heres my Vader with Tarkin

Both go hand in hand.

My Vader is the first release but modded with gloves and repainted armor . Both together Tarkin and Vader look BOSS!!

All this talk and panicking about ESB Vader spurred me to take out my ANH Vader for a little TLC. Thought I’d take a quick pic:
