Target will have some of these online. From the looks of it, I think there's a chance Amazon may as well. Sign up at Target and put it on your wish list for a chance to get one at $12.99 and shipping. Right now these are going for around $100 on ebay and that's ridiculous.

I guess the same would apply to the Holo Yoda. Toysrus is out of them right now, and there's dozens up on ebay.

Eh...neither looks that impressive to me. I have so many Vaders already its not even funny. Like a rube I kept buying them, I had to draw the line at the ROTS vader though, as neat as he looked he was still just another Vader.

Tell me about it. How many times can they convince us to buy the same character?

I think the Lava Vader figure is hideous, but I'll be after it anyway, only for its collectibility.

This Vader has been released twice before. First as the 1997 Final Jedi Duel Cinema Scene Vader and then it was painted silver to become the 2002 Toy Fair Vader. The packaging is by far the best part of the figure. Even though its ebay price has now dropped to about $30, there's no reason to go that route if anyone is still interested. Target should have it available for checkout soon. I'm getting a second one just to have 1 to display.

If the price difference is that big, you should stock up a few and sell them on ebay for profit :p

Can't, that's the way of the scalper, the Dark Side of Collecting. ;)
