SDCC 2019 Retro Collection Amazing Technicolor Vader

[Rob]

I’ll buy the extra from you if it’s not going to be too much trouble. I’m opening all these anyway, so you could chuck it in a small padded mailer without the card or bubble to keep it simple... no pressure if you’d rather not deal with mailing it.

[Darth_Anton]

Glad to be hearing of conformation of duplicate figures.

Assuming that this Vader can be boiled and disassembled/reassembled, it would be interesting if someone would attempt to assemble a loose collection of every possible variant. Expensive, but certainly a feat.

[Dave]

Got two of these today.  Only keeping one.

Let me know if anyone wants either one and I can ship it.

Both cards are in excellent shape.

#1 - right/left from his perspective - Red head, blue torso, yellow right leg, green left leg, orange left arm, purple right arm, yellow saber
#2 - right/left from his perspective - Orange head, blue torso, green right leg, red left leg, yellow left arm, purple right arm, orange saber

What was the point of not selling these in stores? Isn’t the whole idea of an exclusive item to drive foot traffic into your retail space? WTH?

[Rob]

Okay, I'm going for all 18 now...

I should have ordered 18 when they were briefly in-stock, but it already felt excessive ordering 8, so that's what I did.  Lucky me, the 8 I got didn't have any duplicates.  If anyone has any extras they're willing to sell... I'm looking for all of them except these:

Yeah, I don't get that at all.  I ordered ship to store, so they're still getting a trip out of me I guess.

That's bold.  If I found these on the cheap, I'd be game for boil/popping them to get a set of Vaders all the same color (All blue parts, all red parts, etc.)

I actually was wondering yesterday if assembling my own out of whatever scraps I could find would be a better way to go about this, but I doubt it will be.

[Darth_Anton]

So, incredibly, I've purchased 4 total Vaders and 3 are the same exact one!

I bought two in store. Both different. I just picked up the two I bought on line and not only were they identical, they were both identical to one the ones I already had. 

So, I guess I have the 2 of the following for trade:

Blue Head
Green Body
Orange Right hand
Red Left hand
Yellow Right leg
Purple left leg
Blue Light saber

I'd love to trade for one of them.  I've got one extra at the moment.  It has:

Orange Head
Purple Saber Arm (Left when looking at it)
Orange Saber
Yellow Right Arm (Saberless Arm)
Blue Torso
Green Leg on Saber Side
Red Leg on Opposite Side

It's carded at the moment.

EDIT:  This will be easier with a photo...

[Darth_Anton]

Done! I'll PM ya.

#2 - right/left from his perspective - Orange head, blue torso, green right leg, red left leg, yellow left arm, purple right arm, orange saber

I will take your extra one.  Really doesn't matter which variation.  I'm just looking for one to keep carded and one loose.  The closest I have gotten to finding these is checking the Target link every day and sometime I can get the pull down to add a figure but it says it can't ship to my zip code.

Sorry. sold it to Rob last week.  There seem to be a few extra sloshing around on the boards here.  Hopefully someone can hook you up.

If anyone happens to have an extra of any of the ones that don't have an X in them, I'd be happy to buy them from you!

[Rob]

I got an email that it's back in stock, it'll let me pick 2 from the drop down, but it won't let me buy them.

That seems typically.  I generally check the link every morning and that is how it is right now.  Can select two, but says it can't be delivered to my zip code and that it is out of stock in any store in my area.
