The website has it under the Regular Release category instead of PGM.

I can't find this anywhere on their site. Only the Concept Vader and Bespin Leia. Link please?
EDIT: I've been scouring the internet for a link, even just one where these pictures came from. I cant find it. I did come across some additional info that these are limited to 750 but with a limit of 2 per customer. The card has foil accents. Its supposed to go on sale at 11am Eastern time.

If only they made him taller this time, in scale like their IG-88 jumbo figure. I like they made him shiny, an improvement.

I hope that it will be as shiny as the prototype they are showing... in the past (before DST acquired GG) their final figures were not as good as their prototypes :|

For some reason my payment won't process. There's no flag that notes this sold-out. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
edit...changed cards and it accepted payment. Odd. Regardless, happy to get my order in like the rest of you.

Was it a saved card? I find that for some reason my saved card won't always process. If I just type in the info again it works.

You know, it wasn't. And there's no issue with the card, so not sure what the issue was. Nice to jump back into these 12" versions as I sold all I had about 10 years ago. Kind of regretting getting rid of the Greedo...
I put an order in for one of these, it will be my first Jumbo figure. Vader is the one I have wanted most aside from a Biker Scout, so pretty excited about having one.
Just pre ordered him.
Nah I love the card back to the ANH Vader too.

While I'm glad they are re-releasing him for those that need him, and that they are making him glossy this time, I DO wish they were fixing the scale of him AND including the double-telescoping lightsaber (in red) that we had tooled up for the early bird set. I know a DT lightsaber isn't accurate to an ESB card release... but the foil 40th anniversary accents on the card are already no accurate to the ESB release. I'd just feel better buying him again if he were more "improved."
Just got a text that payments are getting processed on Friday.

If my card was declined how many days do I have to resolve it? I totally forgot to transfer money over to that card. The figure is sold out now so I hope they are reserving mine from the original order until I resolve the decline (Thursday).
Anyone have theirs ship yet? Mine is still sitting in awaiting shipment status.

Still pending here. I’ve seen a couple pop up on eBay so someone’s shipped!
Just got tracking on my Vader so hopefully shipping for everyone now.
Got mine today. Excited to get it for the most part but just realized when side by side they are really cutting corners on the material and packaging quality wise since the first release and not a fan of the Gentle Giant knock off Kenner logo.

Hey ReturnOfVader, are both your Vaders the same height? Your new ESB one looks like his feet are nearly touching bottom of bubble, probably just new clamshell design.

Does anybody know how tall the new Vader is? He looks taller in package from pics online.
