Glad you got yours Serg!  I, on the other hand, am still waiting for mine to show up, even though UPS says it was delivered...while I was home...and I have dogs who hear EVERYTHING...so I had to file with Sideshow who filed with UPS so they can see where exactly they lost it.

Sorry to hear about that Pat. I'm sure you'll get yours finally. I had to pay a lot for shipping this figure with FedEX plus customs taxes about $40. That's why I hate ordering from Sideshow directly and I avoid that every time I can.

My 12" Darth Vader arrived today, and all I can say is BRAVO!  Simply amazing!  By far my favorite SSC figure to date.  I'll be working on the image guide for this one this week, so stay tuned!

My Vader should arrive next week in 16th. He comes with FedEx and I hate these guys: expensive and unprofessional!

Good luck with FedEx, they stink for me. I would almost rather go without than deal with them. Sad thing is Starwarsshop.com only deals with them.

Same here and Sideshow works with them in Europe. Had to pay almost $100 for shipping on Vader. If I was getting the same figure from BBTS or Razors shipping to Europe could have been less than half. Plus with Razors and BBTS you can have this marked as gift and even reduced value so no customs to be paid. But no way with stupid FedEx... >:(

I received my Vader figure and I can say I'm really disappointed. I paid a lot for this and it has problems. Not talking here about its design which is cool, but the quality in materials used. I have both Medicom Vaders but this didn't happen to any of them. The chest box straps are broken/damaged (leather too thin or crappy), the crotch armor is flying away (no glue on this) and he has "removable" helmet (the removable helmet is ok from my POV)


Very disappointed of how they made this figure, hope one day Hot Toys alone will make THE VADER. I hope to be able to exchange this figure or at least to get my money back - and I paid to my nose on fracking customs for this crap...

Just look at the pictures below they say 1000 words:

Wow, Serg, that is terrible!  Mine didn't have ANY of those problems!  I'd email SSC and let them know right away, I'm sure they can do something for you.

Removable helmet?  Is Ken under there?


If the fig is crap out of the box, surely they will make it right.

Thanks my friends. Vader was the most important figure for me this year, together with the Stormtrooper - you know I love Imperials :). And he really looks cool, SS did a great job on him. But arrived in the condition you seen. It seems Jaclyn at SS asked me to destroy Vader and they will ship a new one. I'll post these pics when arriving home. See Jaclyn email message below:

Dear Sergiu,
 
Thank you for taking the time to contact Sideshow Collectibles and provide the requested photos. I’m so sorry to see that your collectible arrived damaged.
 
I have looked into our available inventory and have booked you a replacement order for the 12” Darth Vader Exclusive. At this time we ask that you please destroy your piece as it is not necessary to return your statue. Please read the precautions listed below before destroying your item. After you have destroyed your statue, please be sure to provide .jpg formatted photos in a return email to us. Upon receipt of the requested photos, your replacement piece will be shipped out to you at no additional charge. We ask that you provide photos within the next five business days or by 07/23/09.

Best regards,

Jaclyn Yudkowsky

I guess it's off to the shredder for Vader. You going to have him drawn and quartered, Serg?
