The ESB Yoda is to scale with the AOTC Yoda.  I believe retail for Yoda is $45 while Vader is $50.  I'm sure Yoda can be found cheaper.

You're comparing the smallest bust to the largest. Vader is huge. Bigger than the original Vader. That's how the costume was made so that Hayden would look larger.

I didn't think Vader was any larger than the others they've made.  Since they adjusted the Yoda to be in scale, why would they make Vader larger?  Doesn't make much sense to me.  I think Vader's probably just in scale, much as is Yoda. 

And the picture could have been worse.  I just received my sandtroopers and those boxes are huge even relative to Vader's, yet the busts are similar in size. 



I'm just comparing the new Vader bust to my old original one.

Considering vader was something like 6'8", it would make sense to have him be a bit larger then the other busts.  Dark Destiny, if he's bigger then the original vader bust which one do you think is more in scale, the new or old one?

Man, some really great sales this weekend, wish I would have been online when you posted these, because I seem to have missed them.  I had decided that the mini busts would get too pricey for me, but for $22.49 each I would have seriously considered it.

Bah, I'd tell him to shove it up his ass sideways.  >:(

GG goes out of their way to give him something special and he want to sell it for a minimum $3000?  *******.

I seriously hope that GG monitors eBay for these things and refuses to give them to the sellers next year.  >:(

Sold for $2500, eh?  So when GG releases Salacious Crumb later this year it'll cost $50.  For $2450, I'm sure I could make my own red hat.  :-X
