These made me LOL when I saved them a while ago. These images are from some eBay auctions from a few months ago. I just stumbled upon them again today when looking for something completely unrelated. Realistically, Vader would kick the Predator’s ass but they’re still pretty funny.
So after last years disaster of mdwebhosting.com.au losing all my SQL databases, and therefore destroying my existing web sites, I have finally got my replacement up and running. I’ve called it DarthVaderFigures.com, and I’ll be adding two or three items to it every week until it’s all done.
Rather than a gallery, it’s in the form of a blog. You can get the RSS feeds, “Follow” on Twitter and everything! When Google Wave is out of Beta, I’ll see how I can use it because it looks very exciting.
DarthVaderFigures.com is run by an international group of Star Wars collectors who’s focus and passion is Darth Vader action figures. Their collections include regular garden-variety carded figures, as well as foreign carded figures, exclusives, signed figures, prototype and custom figures. If you enjoy collecting Darth Vader action figures and have something to contribute then please let us know.
Yes, they’re starting the numbers from 1 again for the 2009 Saga Legends series, and using smaller cards to boot which means I’ll need different sized Star Cases too. I don’t mind the new cards, but there’s a few points:
Thanks to the awesome guys at potf2.com I’ve got a Canadian version of this on the way to me.
I received good news today. A friend of mine in Canada has secured for me a Saga Legends SL02 Darth Vader on Canadian card, and is searching for the SL06 Darth Vader. This meansI won’t need to source them from ebay.ca at higher prices, and he’ll do his best on postage and packaging as well. He did this as a favour partly because I bribed him greased the wheels by sending him some of those Australian pancake plushes found at Woolworths for nix. But he probably would have done it anyhow if I’d asked. This will be the first Star Wars action figure I’ve bought since new year.
I got the last of the known 2006 Saga #25 Anakin Skywalkers today, on a preorder from Casefresh.com. Amusing that the US carded version would be the last one I got.
My newest piece is from my German mate. It’s the 2006 Saga #25 Anakin Skywalker on European card. I now have #25 on US, Canadian, Euro and US UGH card. If a Canadian UGH card exisits, then I’ll hunt it down but it is as yet unconfirmed.
These two arrived today. They are the US carded Darth Vader (1 of 12) and Anakin Skywalker (2 of 12) Episode 3 Heroes and Villains. Even though these are rehashes, I do quite like them.
I have these two on preordered on Canadian cards from my mate at www.legendscanada.com.
A new 2006 Saga Collection #13 Darth Vader. This one was imported from the UK, and is a US card with a Hasbro sticker on the front top left
I’ve just found what I’ll be buying in 2006:
All of these look very exciting. People get excited about the holographic characters, but I don’t. I’m looking forward to the Padme figures. Where possible I’ll be scoring everything on Canadian cards. I might leave the European cards for a while unless they are significantly different instead of just being stickered.
This looks quite cute. I got the first set from Target a few months ago. For some reason people were under the impression that this was an Australian exclusive, so I got a few sets for people in the US. With the inflated Australian price and postage, they paid more than triple the price that they appeared for on the shelves the next week.
