Yeah, I think Vader was originally supposed to come out in December of 2014 and there's still no sign of him.

Do yourself a favor and order these.  Dare I say, skip getting R2 from Hasbro, get this one.  It looks pretty in-scale to me to the Hasbro figures, and the crispness and details are just vastly superior even if all you do is apply the stickers after you snap the kit together.

R2 is the only Hasbro 6" figure I'm missing from my OT collection, so this could be a great way to go.  The aftermarket prices for R2 are ridiculous right now.

edit -- The Bandai 1/12 version comes with a ton of accessories too, I'm seriously considering this...

Wow, great pics!  You've got a lot of stuff in there, but it's all nicely displayed to enjoy. 

Congrats on that Droid Factory, that's pretty cool.

I recently added a 4th boxed Vader's TIE Fighter to my focus.  They're all open, but I love how they display together.

I've also been slowly building my loose 12" figure collection, I grabbed a Stormtrooper, C-3PO, and Han -- all complete.  Getting closer to completing the set!

I'm surprised by the lack of interest in the Emperor, to me he's a must have.  I'll admit the way the hood is tacked onto his robe is a little strange, but other than that I think it's a great looking figure.

The hockey rink on the bottom floor.

I think the hockey rink is on the command level and the penalty box is the trash compactor...

Ha!  Nice!    No, there's no actual differences between the playsets themselves.

I actually picked this up a couple weeks ago, it was a great way to end 2014.  A Canadian boxed Death Star, I certainly never expected to own this!  It was only missing the rope, but I lucked out and already tracked one down.
