These still aren't showing up as in stock on Targets website, but if they were, they are showing up as a dollar off on the page for them.

If someone has a spare and is willing to ship loose to Canuckia, lmk via pm.  I'd just buy one outright.

If I end up with any extras once I finish the set and you still need one, I’ll send it your way.

Notched another one of these off my list list last week.  Thanks for the trade, Rob!

Likewise!

How many more do you have to go?

I might call it quits at 6.  I might go for a 7th if I can find the Purple Helmet - Green Torso - Orange Lightsaber version.  With that one, I'd have one of every color in almost every part.  The only pieces I'd be missing are a Red Torso, Purple Right Arm, and Green Lightsaber.  I'd have to buy three different Vaders to get those last three pieces and that seems unlikely unless they show up somewhere for cheap.  On the other hand, there are three variations for each remaining part I'd need, so I won't close the door on it. 

I'm tempted to get some extras with Yellow/Red/Blue lightsabers just for my displays of original vintage Luke/Obi/Vader's without weapons.  I don't like using repro stuff, but original sabers with tips are tough to track down, so $10-12 a pop isn't all that bad.

Wow!

I feel like that's begging for some sort of pop art shadow box wall-mounted display. Like just having them on the shelf isn't enough, after seeing all the work you went through for these.

I wasn't feeling this Vader, but seeing them all together is pretty fan-*******-tastic!

Very cool Rob!   Not a big fan of the collection of gold OT WM figures you assembled, but I like this a lot.  Nice work.

Thanks everyone... I do like them as a set of 18, but I really hope Hasbro doesn't make a habit of this.

I'm not a huge fan of those gold figures either, but I'm a collect-one-of-everything guy, so they're part of the (nearly) complete set.

If anyone ended up with extras that they are looking to part with, please let me know.  I haven't had any luck and would love to pick up one carded and one to open.
