Edit again: the Probe Droid is being re-released also. Same price as the original release but taking away the snow base.

Yeah, I'm really bummed. I think this is the end.
What's funny is that Matt Bischof is probably sitting at his desk right now with the Zuckuss prototype being all like "WTF are these guys' going on about?"
Let's hope its just the Holiday Season cash-grab in conjunction with the movie... and things will settle out first of the year.
I see it now: Darth Vader with Original Cod Piece = only $900 +120 S/h!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The specs say he's even taller than the last one:
Those bases are less than 3/4" high, making this one over 14 1/4" tall.
They also state:
So which one do you believe?
Differences:
Regardless of the new suit they've been careful to hide the legs in darkness so you can't see though ugly horizontal creases.
You can just about see them here:

I know why they removed the the deluxe vader from their site, they sold thier stock to disneyland and they are all sitting at the Disney launch bay! And selling them for an inflated price!
Well in fairness, you can't say that wouldn't be an improvement.Can't wait for the upcoming re-release of Nathan Drake. $10 less with no headsculpt.

I was shocked to see another sideshow Vader release they should've included the light up base's 4 this and Boba. I do the see the business strategy behind it sideshow might as well try n make money while the Force is with them.

Because 288$ for HT Rey is so reasonable...

I don't follow. He was asking if this was the same price as the Sideshow Deluxe Darth Vader that was priced at $250, and I said that it's cheaper at $230, but doesn't include as many accessories as the previous Sideshow release. How does Hot Toys Rey factor into the equation?

Just went to Sideshow's site and realized the same thing.Expected to see this type of carnage, maybe not to this degree. My first thought was to just cancel any of my Sideshow pre-orders I have at the moment. I can't believe they're wasting production slots on these re-releases--didn't mind the probe droid cause it's such a unique piece, but their Deluxe Vader has been on sale for a couple years, so it's just baffling that they would re-release it already. Definitely feels like what Hasbro had to resort to when the 3D movies got canceled after TPM. No more clones??

Not sure how that's relevant but Rey is $225. Rey with BB-8 is $290.
Waiting for the first "pre-ordered" post. 
They still got the wrong hand for this one. Shipped the Deluxe was $260 for me. With their new shipping this one would be $255.

I wonder how many times this could be reposted for truth.

Last Sideshow Vader came with soooo much more. Easy pass. Thanks Sideshow for saving me more money.

Wow, I'm really floored. So the Deluxe they've been selling for two years gets pulled/waitlisted and replaced with this "ROTJ" version that has no face reveal? Maybe harsh conditions have been placed on them and these are now the only options available but seems the chances of it going well are slim.
