Its the same Vader as the previous ESB version of you missed out, nothing different just a repack and newer box (Cue the video of Lisa: "It's that same Malibu Stacy but with the new hat).   

Check out this review then from Jedha Patrol

Just unraveled on Hot Toys Facebook and details should be on Toyark in the morning.

Ok thanks. I think mine is just a standard version they came out with a long time ago. Prob worth upgrading to this. But would really like the 1/4 scale

Is this the definitive Vader as far as 1/6’s go?  Would like to upgrade my much older one. Wondering about the materials and such used.

That's good to know. My wife and I have USAA for our cars and we were looking to switch to them for our home insurance as well. If they can help with covering my collection, that would be great!

Did USAA handle the transaction, or did they give you the contact info and you called the 3rd party/affiliated company?

 

Thank you

I believe they connected me to them. The insurance coverage does show up on the usaa site when I sign in. 

Just finished this up. Really liked the last 2 episodes.

I always thought the serial number thing for insurance was kinda weird. How would they know you gave them the right ones?

You got me. Maybe they just verify with the manufacturers it was real. But that would be difficult. Maybe it has something to do with a police report for lost guns.  I really dunno. 

I believe mine is through American collectibles insurance. Would cover my WW2 collectibles and my guns if I sent them all of the serial numbers. But not sure how I feel about that. 

I have like 40k in coverage with a company connected to USAA. Costs me like $300 a year. Not that it would help me much as I have nothing written down or saved anywhere to tell them what I had. I should at least take a bunch of pictures.

I guess twice the price of the Sideshow/HT speederbike or close to 1k USD... 

 

I was being optimistic at $700 I think. 

How much you thinking this guys gonna cost?

I only bought one tv Roy in the hope I’ll get a dyrl version later. 

For some reason (likely aesthetics) I have a soft spot for Russian fighters.

VF-1D Available in Nin-Nin-Game, go go go!

At an inflated price. Wonder if mine at reg price will go out before this batch....

It’s a shame. I caught on to NY early in the game and use to never have problems with preorder madness at first.  And for the most part they have been good to me but I think I’m done with them. 

I wasn’t on the Sebastian Stan train for Luke but he does seem to work in these vids. 

They screwed me on 2 strike parts and I have 2 tv supers that aren’t moving. WTH

Thought I ordered 2 of these but I’ll be damned if I can find my second one. I have one at hlj. 
 

checked amiami, nin nin, NY, AE. Not sure where else to check

I haven’t had any displayed valks yellow on me yet but seeing the pic of the freshly opened 25 scares me. Might have to take my white valks out and store them another way.

I'm thinking about maybe snagging the regular edition.   My last new valk was the 31C.     

I'm seeing very few differences between PF and regular---asides from panel-lines, like slightly different rescue warnings on the nose, and by the main gear doors?  I'm thinking I can just panel-line it myself, and have it be 99% of the way towards being the PF edition.   Am I missing something, or is it really just "panel lines, and like 2 small tampo prints"?  
 

I couldn't find good fighter-mode pics to compare, GERWALK seems to be the only ones where they took same pics same angle, for regular and PF.   

I kinda wanted to pick up the reg version just to have it in hand as I’m excited about this release. Prob won’t do that now unless the premium gets pushed back.

Looks great!  The tv parts suit it well.

Yeah I have no idea what I’m going to do with him. I get the same grief for having toy islands all over the house. 

Anyone here waiting on unicron?

First good Jubei from ninja scroll I have seen. Independent artist. Put my first payment down. 

Got one in at AE and nin nin. Hopefully I’m covered

Nin nin back up.

Never really was a fan of the 1D but I might be in for 2 of these
