Nothing will get in the way of Vader... and while the exclusive is not a "must have" its still cool enough that I don't want to lose it.

Based on what? HT hasn't shown anything.
I have money for Vader in reserve.

Wow, I'd never dream of giving Vader the axe. Everyone has different collecting priorities though. SW is my no. 1. Of course it seems pretty likley that Vader can be nabbed cheaper on the secondary market post release.

You are not worthy of wearing that Red Sox hat.
If you cancel Vader, Jerry Remy will cry. Then, you're dead bub.
You should keep him and get Ben Kenobi too. Ben is one of the best 12" figures ever.

untill hot toys has problems with jackman's likeness and we end up getting something like Kane.
Meh, just my opinion mate, NEVER plan on buying ANYTHING that you have not seen. Cause you never know.
As for me.. I THINK I can swing the 40$ I need for Vader, so I think I'm good :

Can anyone here tell me where I can get a nice Darth Vader bodysuit for a good price? I really just want pants for my Cade Skywalker. Thanks. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Well, he won't be out until July but once he is released Toy Anxiety will part him out and you can get what you need there.
So what do ya think the probability of this having loose joints are? It kept me off of clonobi and the stormie, and i have no interest in the Orange clone and that is loose as well. This is the only SW figure i have on order, and it will be canceled if reports of loose joints come in.(no matter how awesome otherwise, i just can't support that when it should be taken care of by now) I'm waiting for someone to say 'they delayed Vader so their probably working on it' and i would hope that is correct. But i can totally see SS shipping it loose despite the importance of this figures release.

... i hate to say it, but as it's a totaly new body by sideshow, I'm gonna say 50/50 Krayt. If it is, I'm going to Buy a pred body off the bay and swap him. simple as that. No muss, no fuss, I might even MAIL the loose body BACK to sideshow with a letter asking them why? Perhaps with a picture of a sad kitten. like so
or perhaps
or even
But for right now, this is me to sideshow about Vader

The new bodies so far have had their issues with the joints. With 2 Clonobis I got one mediocre and one decent as far as the joints, but even the best one has limits.
Thing I find with the looseness is can it hold poses, yes, I haven't had one that couldn't yet either, but, what kind, how many and for how long has been the problem.
With Indy and Clonobi and the Hobbits, some of the more interesting, dynamic, but also reasonable, poses I've come up with for photos, I've either had to play beat the clock to snap them before tumbling over, of come up with some support method and use camera angles to hide it.
None of the new bodies, at least as far as the few figures I own on them (don't have Belloq, Toht or Snake Eyes), have been to a level where they're strong enough to offer pose variety and stability. Other figure bodies do, so I keep the faith that these bodies will get there too, but they aren't yet.
