If it's just a matter of gluing it on, it's not a bit deal. You could ask for a small discount from the seller. If it's completely missing or can't easily be repaired, it might be different.
 
With as many of Luke as they've pumped out I'm kinda shocked they haven't given us another Vader PF. It would sell like hot-cakes IMO.
 
Well sideshow has become a company that milks something dry lately (Clones) And Vader, even though they have one in the can, still requires lighting on the saber and his belt/chest. These things arent as easy as putting on a pair of pants on a character and a shirt. Though there isnt really a likeness they have to worry about...haha..but we saw in the 12" they still muffed the helmet.

I have a feeling SDCC will show a new Vader because they hinted at it earlier this year during a Q&A. If a Vader isn't shown I'll be picking up this PF this year anyway...
 
Id be surprised if we saw Vader before the Droids PF...they have been showing photos of them when they first showed production photos of Jedi Luke PF...and thats been out awhile...I am hoping we see some droids...they are a definate buy for me...unless if they are like $600

Yes, the Droids...

Id argue he is not more important..due to the fact there already is a vader out there....and sideshow has yet to do a droid...except for the C3P0 bust. The droids will open it up for the 12" figures too.

Sideshow has done:

1:1 C3P0 Bust
1:1 C3P0
1:1 R2D2

1:4 Vader
1:6 Vader
1:1 Vader Bust

We need more Vader...and Droids it seems...
 
The 1:1 C-3PO bust is the just the head and shoulders of the 1:1 figure, so I would argue that they're essentially the same product. The Vaders are all completely separate.
 
I would try and fix it if I were you. I haven't been following the prices closely, but it seems you got a good price on it albeit with slight damage. If you send it back you will probably have to pay the shipping out of pocket as well.
 
^^ I did have the tusk and tried to match it up, it would've been noticeable. My first thought was to try and super glue it back on but it also had a black chip missing as well. I think it would've just bothered me too much. Thanks for the advise guys I really appreciate it. I have contacted the seller and waiting instructions for return. My search shall continue or I may just wait for the new Vader. I will let you know how everything pans out.
 
Then return is the best way. Though you could ask to separately pay for the Mouse Droid and then only look for the regular Vader.

I got a boxed regular PF Vader long time ago (after a long search), and then last year I was able to get the Ex Mouse Droid separately for a very good deal. Thus I have my Vader complete now:

I just picked up an Exclusive Vader and while I wasn't expecting much from all the reviews I was shocked by how awesome this piece really is! I don't care much for the mouse droid as it's stored inside the box the piece overall is very impressive. The smallest detail, the leather, scuplt, lights, etc is awesome!
 
It is a very impressive piece. I think it's a bit like the Jedi Luke PF in that the pose is kind of controversial. But it's definitely well done, especially compared to some of the other early Star Wars PFs, which frankly aren't very good.
 
I sent it back for a refund and will continue the search. If I can find another one for a reasonable price again I will definitely pick it up. I held off for a long time and then being so close to having one kills me. It is truly an amazing piece.

That's true, their early Luke was terrible. I don't mind this pose it's very ANH but now that I have the piece I'm not sure why people were unhappy with it, the sculpt is beautiful, cape is awesome, etc!
 
Heres a question, I have the Vader & Obi Wan PF and I will be selling them soon to pay for stormtrooper armour. What im thinking is should I try to sell them together. I think Vader will sell easy but might not get too much for Obi. What do you think?
