So, you want to know about Funeral Pyre Darth Vader, right? Per a very reliable Hasbro employee, Funeral Pyre Darth Vader has not been pitched to a retailer yet. Hasbro is looking to set this beautiful piece around $30.00, but they want to know what kind of interest collector support will be for it first. They will most likely be polling collector sites, like Jedi Temple Archives, to be gauging this. At best it will be a very late 2010 item, if not a 2011 item. So, start gearing up your support now! We will keep you posted on its progression. And stay tuned, we have a video forthcoming that will be posted on our site as well!
I sure hope they query the Yards on this. I love the sound of it even if it is a little morbid.
