I got it on ebay. The one I got was priced a little lower than the rest because the plastic of the card had some scuffs, which was perfect because I like to open them anyway. It was about $72 with tax + shipping. Still too much $ for another Vader with small variations, but hey, for old time's sake.

I think my favorite Vader is the DX4 vinyl cape one. I was a big fan of all the throwback vinyl cape kubricks, plus it's nice that the helmet on it is solid and doesn't fall apart if you breathe on it, haha. I love the original Vader too.

And yep, the saber is solid red. The silver Vader's saber is solid too actually, but darker and with a metallic finish.

I hate to make another post not about actual kubricks, but I noticed that all my old illustrations I posted are gone again. (Tinypic shut down.) Figured I'd post them all one more time, along with a newer one I never shared before (Luke's Island). Hope you guys enjoy!

Also I noticed that the old pics I posted of my Echo Base backdrop have broken links now, so figured I'd repost it here. Along with a rough draft of another backdrop that I never got around to finishing, hehe.

Thanks DSJ! 

In most of those photos the glasses look dark tinted, which match with mine. I'm just gonna choose to believe that there was some variation in the paint apps on the goggles, ie some got more or less black applied to the glass part. 

Mine has all-black goggles too...

All this stuff is from a big trash bin from the Chinese factory. Thousands of them on ebay....

Please elaborate on this. I'd be curious to hear any info about this thing really being from a Medicom factory.
