Got mine today. Bubbles and mat like part on helmet. Scuff marks on the other helmet. Cape is a little longer on the right side or shorter on the left, however you wanna look at it. The left leg was causing a little trouble but i think i fixed it. Tusks are good and havnt tried the lights yet.

Alas, 100 times alas ... Welcome to the club, mate!


As I already wrote in my post #8991 8 days ago, the same bad surprise at the opening of the box. But Christina from the SS team did the job and the 2 lightsabers should not be long now.

Baloo is BACK! Like so many other pals (me included) that joined the party thanks to this figure. Hey buddy -- yeah, well, easily overlooked and soon to be replaced. It was the lit sabre that was missing. STILL going through inspections, but so far so great. Did you guys check out the detail in the exclusive severed hand? It looks like metal parts are in there, really well done.

PS Great shots Darklord Dave, your ANH looks amazing.

My Vader showed up but I'm still at work! My girl told me they gave me a free care package cleaning kit

Same here. Was supposed to be here Friday but it got delayed.

 

[pjam]

No lightsaber at all? So you're missing the lit and unlit sabers? Missing two items? That's very odd indeed.

No lit sabre, same thing happened to baloo, replacement on the way, thanks to Mike @ SSC. Made full inspection, all is good, and a special thanks to Wor-Gar for the extra push.

Really like the light up base. Can't wait to get this guy set up.

Mine arrived here in Chicago...

Opened it up... and BROKEN TUSK... I could see through the top layer off plastic holding him in place that the bag had a hole in it... and yep, no left tusk.

I am not sending it back in, I broke the tusk off of the Anakin head and crazy glued it to Vader. It looks decent and only I would know.

Quality Control Issue #? That is terrible... oh well, I do not mind my quick fix. More pictures later...

 

[pjam]

Smart move, repair looks terrific!

 

[BojTrek]

Thanks, it was an easy fix and I will never, ever display the Anakin head... I am working now, so I cannot futz around with it... but it looks OK except for the crotch area bends in the pants. I will just hide it with the under-vest cape.

Checked the figure a bit further... no fraying in the outer full length cape... looks good!

 

[Deathstalker]

Don't wanna complain really as I know others r still waiting for their Vaders but is anyone still waiting a long time, 10 days and counting, for replacement parts . I got my confirmed res 10 days ago for my head and still not word on shipping yet. Getting a little bummed of all postings of people putting in replacement requests days later then I and already getting tracking if not the actual parts. I called today and they really couldn't tell me why it's has taken so long. Are they just totally overwhelmed, more so than most thought, with the QC PROBLEMS .. Heck. I was on hold quite a while just to talk to someone

 

[phobicsquirrel]

Did a live chat and got a replacement head being sent. Hopefully this one will be all good!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sorry to hear that, Mark. Hopefully you'll get yours soon. Unless they ran out of heads for theitme being. I expect more will be on the way.

Thanks for the nod, Paul.

Love to see more pics of Vader in his box. I've never seen what it actually looks like inside its shipping home.

 

[GearheadSS]

I got mine today. Opened it up to do a quick inspection. Everything seems to be ok. I'm going to do a video of me unboxing it tonight. I'll post it up once I'm done.

 

[diegohdm]

someone have pics of new SS Vader side by side with Vader Medicom 2.0 ?

There one a few pages back but the Medicom one is so had to see because its so darn small.

Dying to get mine... Curse you flexpay!

I think I may actually display mine with the Anakin head since I still really do like the ANH version.

Still out for delivery. He usually delivers from 10-11AM but it's near 6PM. Why today of all days.
