Anyone have the scoop on this? Will there be a Vader on his own and this special pack or is this the only way to get him? Is this an exclusive?
-
Based on all of the materials that were released, along with the case info, it looks like Vader only comes with the special pack. Remember how Hasbro presented the 30AC coin portfolio back in 2007 with Vader? I think this offering is along those lines.

Correct. Vader comes on the Vintage card inside the Legacy Pack only. He will not be sold on the Vintage card outside of the pack. Vader will be sold in the Black Series (red/black) box at retail later.
DS Commander and Jawa will also be sold in the Black Series boxes.
-
This Vader is the "new" Vader sculpt based on Rogue One, correct?
-
Correct. It's the ANH / Rogue One costume. From what I know of the distinguishing characteristics the lenses in the helmet are red/amber, the inner cloak goes over the shoulder armor, and the gloves are different.
-
Don't forget the huge ass neck too. :D
-
A Brickseek search showed that these are starting to turn up in stores this weekend, along with wave 1 of the 40AC figures.
-
Someone in the STL area used the DPCI trick and got a Vader yesterday.
-
A couple around here have gotten them in according to Brickseek, but I couldn't find any out on the floor. Soon hopefully.
-
Well, I tried the DPCI mind trick today but was denied "because they have a street date of 4/16".
Now I feel like I have to keep trying different stores just to see if I can pull it off. Apparently it is working for some folks, like Steve noted above. Some stores even put them out on the floor I heard.
-
It sucks because they technically aren't hard street dated. The box is marked "don't put on shelf prior to April 1", there should be no reason they wouldn't pull/sell them now.
-
Hoping to get rid of all those Jyns and Cassians first?
-
Some people on Reddit said they got theirs from the electronics desk, and that there was something insane like one per store

You mean they only got one per store or there was a limit of purchasing one per store? I can't believe they only got one each, and I'm fine with limiting to one at first to make sure more people get them.
-
That is interesting...I believe they ship in cases of 4, so they must be referring to some sort of purchase limit. I hadn't heard that.
The CS guy at Target was saying there is a 4/16 date in their computer, so it's not coming from the box I guess. I felt like asking why some arbitrary day two weeks from now made more sense than selling them the week the DVD comes out, but I didn't have the energy.
I wouldn't mind waiting except that I wanted to use one of those coupons that expire Saturday.
-
Two people had said the store only had one in stock, so maybe the other 3 were already purchased. I've seen pics of people buying up all 4 from the case as well.

There's also a huge difference between a hard distributor set street date and a Target planogram set date. These are not hard street dated and that's just Target employees being annoying

and then...

I think you just answered your own question on why they're supposed to wait to stock them. :-X

Picked them up the other day at Target. No street date, planogram set of 4/16
-
Dang those packages are cool looking.

Currently in stock at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M74CXNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I still need "Dark Eyes" variant or whatever. These disappeared quickly here though.

Not that I want to collect a variation on a $40 figure, but what is this?

If it might entice, I might take the stand off you... I still haven't found one so I'm trying to see if this would be a good way to display figures.
-
If you want the stand, but not the figure, I might be your Huckleberry.

"Vader variants (dark eyes/bright eyes)"

I'm tempted to dump the Vader I have too and just keep the stand if there are others interested. I know the new Vader is supposed to be new (and better?), but I'm trying really hard to skip all minor variations as these things take up a lot more room than a 3.75" figure.

Vader is all new tooling

Thanks for posting this. I think I have the lighter eyes version. Any idea which came first? I typically try to get the earlier version if I can since there's a better chance of finding the second one later on.

Both have the same date stamp, and I've seen them packed equally in the same case.
-
Id just like to find these. Apparently Target is not carrying these in my neighborhood according to their website.

I thought displays at Target were mandated by corporate. I'm not sure if the current SW display is Hasbro driven or Target driven, but if it's coming from Hasbro I would think all stores need to have it up within a certain window of time. :-\
-
Dorkside is selling the display on its own for $8.99
-
I got mine from Amazon yesterday. And interestingly enough, it came in a white Hasbro mailer box! Very fitting for a set that's modeled on the original early bird mailaway set.

Let me know.
-
Found a "dark eyes" Vader set at TRU today in some display in the front of the store and had a $5 Rewards coupon, so I grabbed it. Pretty subtle difference really, but I kinda wanted one to keep boxed anyway so whateves.
-
Hey guys, it's been too long since I've checked in! I just wanted to share a couple pics I took of my Legacy Pack, I had to grab a couple for my Vader collection. It's such an amazing set.

I saw a short version of THIS VIDEO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-elwc55VKXk) turn up on Instagram featuring the 40AC 6" Legacy Vader. Enjoy!
