Passed on the EX easily. Might get the regular locally unless have something better to do with my money.
How are local prices where you are? Here they are sideshow MSRP plus anywhere between $25 and $100. Except for crazy sales or exceptionally big items I find it cheaper to get direct from sideshow. Of course we have no import duty for private purchases under $1000 which helps.

Depends on shops. I can tell you that I recently got 2 licensed SW props for prices comparable to US customers (one was even a bit lower).

Awesome. I guess with all of europe it makes it possible for some to get around at good prices. Most of the local etailers here went bust over the last 2 years so only a handful remain and LCS's, well they want double US MSRP.

If the Aussie dollar drops to where it was a couple of yrs back Vader will be a $500 figure

I just had to post to be the 5th Aussie in a row, lol.
I'll order this, it just needs someone else other than a Sideshow employee to pose and futz it, lol.

As soon as I learned the saber doesn't light up, I decided to make a custom one that does, either using LEDs or cathode tubes. Eight months to wait for this will give me plenty of time to come up with a good custom light-up saber. Add me to your friend list if you're interested.I've wanted a darth vader since forever but was waiting for some definitive vader down the road, guess this will be it.

The biggest issue looking at the pics is the belts sitting to low, Vader is a Harry high pants, hopefully easily futzed

If/when that happens I won't be buying much anymore.

So what have you replaced on that one? New body, new dome, new robes?

My Anh on the original body, new cape and hasbro dome, I might have to do the body swap when the esb gets here, as I can't justify it in my mind how Vader shrunk between movies, figure wise anyway

So no mod on the helmet and dome you say? There doesn't seem to be much wrong with it in that picture.
It looks OK in this picture too:
But on other pictures it make me think of this:
That's why I'm getting everything I really want as it becomes available now,
Pretty much my attitude too. Waiting for the bubble to burst.
