Yeah, I did plenty of vintage back in the day too. Never had a torso fracture - that brittleness is indicative of plastic ageing or UV damage.
This is one annoying exclusive - I've yet to even spot it listed as "in stock" online. Apparently only one local store received a case, and a hoarder took the whole thing.Ehh... this thing popped back up on Target.com with a Ship button, but still won't let me order one, even with $25 in my cart.
I'm opening all mine, so if he's available for purchase or trade, let me know!I have the blue helmet red torso blue saber but loose with the damaged card. I was only counting helmet colors and he was the only blue helmet I had received. I have to check my others but they are boxed up.
Yes, it’s on the right side in the image I posted earlier of the five carded extras I have. It’s available for any Vader that I’m missing.I am keeping mine carded, do you have a carded blue helmet one?
The Blue Helmet, Red Torso variant has a Red Saber, not a Blue Saber. Is that the one you have?I have the blue helmet red torso blue saber but loose with the damaged card.

I sent you a PM with the exact rundown, yes I was mistaken Red saber...The Blue Helmet, Red Torso variant has a Red Saber, not a Blue Saber. Is that the one you have?
Where were you when I was offering a bunch?Anyone have a spare to trade to someone that doesnt own a single one of these? Looking for the red helmet / purple torso combo.

Big fail on the part of both Target & Hasbro. The scalpers and hoarders only compounded that. So much for a limit of 2 per person on their website. Its great when they come up with interesting concepts for exclusives, but if they're next to impossible to track down, and being hoarded by fellow collectors, it takes the fun out of it.IRRC it was only available online for literally one day. August 23rd to be precise, because that was the one day in August I was driving on a road trip and didnt have the internet handy. It was never available again, anywhere.
I tried to combat that by buying as many as I could and getting them to folks here. Not a perfect solution but many people her got them that otherwise may have missed out. You could order multiple times....Big fail on the part of both Target & Hasbro. The scalpers and hoarders only compounded that. So much for a limit of 2 per person on their website.

I thought about it but that’s where I drew the line.... if I understand it right the multiple greens exist all over, as in arms, legs, sabers, etc... which would double this total and be very hard to shop for.hey you now need both light and dark green....lol
Just busting chops...lol its quite a feat having what you have.I thought about it but that’s where I drew the line.... if I understand it right the multiple greens exist all over, as in arms, legs, sabers, etc... which would double this total and be very hard to shop for.
Oh I know, I'm just saying that I did at least think about it.Just busting chops...lol its quite a feat having what you have.
That looks awesome! Would be fun to have them displayed framed or something, with a yellow background like the back of Kenner cardbacks.Got the last one last night:

Seeing both the dark and lighter green, I gotta say I prefer the lighter. It matches the brightness of the other colors, where the darker green just seems off compared to the rest.hey you now need both light and dark green....lol
