Thank you for adding to the costs that ultimately get passed back to us

I admire your gumption though. No shame apparent in your triumph

Implying Sideshow isn't guilty of pulling schenaigans or upping costs that gouge their customers anyway. They've sent me a used, damaged figure before and tried to play it off cool. They're no better.

Good to see Matt got one up on them, even if it was his fault. I mean wow, he basically got free shipping! It's not like Sideshow is innocent in their business practices as a company/distributor. **** em'.

I appreciate his honesty (and glee) but couldn't Sideshow look on here and connect the posted comments to the one person who just got new pants for their Vader - and realize they got had?

The thought of SS having employees scouring forums and connecting dots to possible $25 coupon frauds is actually really funny

Maybe Trump should come out against sideshow then.

And thanks Matt for scoring a point for the little guys!

I'm gonna go smash my Vader against the wall and see if I can get a gift card for it

That'll only get you $10 and maybe a sideshow t-shirt.

Late to opening him but the wait was definitely worth it. The cape on this Vader is superb and for the life of me I don't understand why HT cannot apply that same effort to other lines like the Batman.

Overall I am digging his one more than ANH Vader. I'll repurpose the other to stand in front of my legion of TKs. This one's found a home.

Love your Vader display, hokietwo!

Beautiful display. I really wish I had gotten the EFX helmet when I had the chance Where did the saber hilt come from if you don't mind me asking?

Getting the batteries in the R1 version belt boxes are about as nightmarish as the ANH one. Got one done immediately, 2nd one = nope

LOL

It took me an hour to get the batteries in the boxes! A right pain in the arse!

Yeah, see, I learned from my first experience and have since bought a pair of the those long, angled tweezers.......box 1 done in 20 seconds....box 2 45 min and I gave up. I will say the one I got in is really very bright. Looks fantastic.

About the whole, 'no shame on my part for messing up the pants yet still asking for a replacement' I guess I figured no harm in trying........And I am usually a pretty honest dude. Oh Lord, TRUMP has rubbed off on me!!!!!

Seeing that bust just reassures how the RO version got the dome proportions better than the ANH version just not as shiny

nice display

Just got this from Popcultcha today, can't wait to open him up!

And then once you get the batteries in and the figure all posed and futzed exactly the way you want it... it's nearly impossible to find the tiny switches to activate the damn things!

I think I might try gluing on a small extension of some kind so it's actually somewhat easier to use.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to use the ANH light up arm on the rogue one Vader body?
