I sold my Vader for $120 a few months ago.
(and my troopers for $75 each. )
I'm really hoping we get a ESB Vader from Sideshow soon, i need a SS Vader figure.
Don't feel bad i sold my regular Vader for $90 shipped last year. and a DX JOKER for $135
Don't feel bad y'all. Last year I missed out on picking up a Mk I and II for $275 each, a DX Joker for $135, a Vader for 90 bucks and a couple of troopers for 75 each
i dont mean to burst your bubble, I dont know where you got your info, but all the vader helmets were made out of fiberglass...there were no metal or "durasteel" helmets made...and they were,all painted with silver highlights to show off the facets of the mask...the only all black helmet was from "sith", because it had to look newly machined and symmetric.ESB is the best Vader, because it's the only one with a real helmet. It is painted black metal, I'm guessing it's aluminum, while ANH and RTJ are both molded in black plastic. The ESB one looks much glossier and more elegant, for that reason. I was disappointed when they switched back to a plastic helmet for RTJ when it came out. I thought it looked cheaper and a step backwards. Comparing the ESB helmet to the ANH and the RTJ helmets is like comparing a handmade aluminum Ferrari fender to molded plastic Saturn fenders. The ESB helmet says handmade fine craftsmanship. If you look at Darth Vader on the bridge of his Destroyer in ESB you can see the light reflect off that helmet in a way that only a painted helmet can.

If I interpreted the Q&A right then a all-in-one with separate pieces to get either a ROTJ or ESB look.
Are there any pictures of the dome mods?
Glad to hear there's a new(and hopefully better) Vader coming in 2012.
