For the Star Wars collectors out there, target has on their shelves, a 79cm tall Darth Vader with 7 points of articulation for $39. RRP $49 @ target, $89.95 @ Myers and advertised as much as $368 on other online mediums, like fishpond, amazon, due to shipping cost etc. I’m by no means a collector, but thought this would make a nice fixture in my man cave as a paperweight on my desk or a doorstop for the unsuspecting.

I reckon $1.25 per inch of sith lord is too good to pass up.

EDIT: Target website has incorrectly stated this is only 39CM. I can confirm it's 31 inches (79CM) in height. hence why i thought it was a bargain!

    Title on website says 39cm, but description says 79cm.
    Did you actually see it in store?

      bought it this morning before heading to work. it's definitely 79CM.

      • cornbeef on 23/07/2014 - 17:53

        it's 79 cm until the fight with Obi Wan. After that it's 39cm.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/07/2014 - 21:39

          isnt it Obi Wan that gets sliced in half…?

          I think taylorn8r means Star Wars: A New Hope. I guess he doesn't get cut in half, he just disappears.

      OMG he exterminated the Jedi… how can he be suitable even for the younglings?
      $30 at the cost of the Rebellion? not a bargain!

  • Dany34 on 23/07/2014 - 13:09

    Not sure if the $369 was needed, but the figure actually looks well made which is surprising for the price

    Edit just checked Deluxe Electronic Darth Vader 31 inch was $89.00 now $59.95 at myer.

    I will keep the up vote because I enjoy new people posting but not as great as it seems

    Yeah, thinking the 79cm is a typo… especially at $39. Not sure where you read the 31" from???
    I'm sure something that big would scare the $#!t out of my 2yo, but that'd be an awesome deal to jump on if it really was 79cm.

    Why do you feel the need to include the $368 in the RRP?

    Fishpond is like ebay, any idiot can put item on sale there and ask what ever price. If someone ask for $20000000 for this figurine would you then go on and state that its RRP is $20000000?

    In truth, it is selling for this price just about everywhere else in the world.

    http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Original-Trilogy-Action/dp/B…

    http://www.target.com/p/star-wars-darth-vader-collector-figu…

    Yes, this is a good deal and the best price available to us Aussie but including that $368 in RRP is completely unnecessary.

  • sparkles on 23/07/2014 - 13:41

    Buy it, keep it in the box for 50 years, profit!

    • rawm on 23/07/2014 - 18:21

      If you could keep this thing pristine until 2027 (50 year anniversary of Star Wars) somehow, it'd be worth more than parking the $39 away, im sure of that.

    • highdealer on 23/07/2014 - 19:03

      if only they come with a box in the first place.

  • zoltaro on 23/07/2014 - 13:42

      It is 79 cm.

      Trust the OP, i saw it in store a few days ago and it was definitely 79 cm. Target made a typo mistake, not hard to see why, when it is 31"/79cm and end up being 39 cm.

      I just dont understand why people still want to use imperial units. Stupid Brits and Yanks.

      • Snoop on 23/07/2014 - 13:53

        That, and if you read one of the reviews on it:

  • RefusdClassification on 23/07/2014 - 15:22

    Normally I complain about collectibles being too small, but this figure is the opposite. I usually put action figures on the unused space on bookshelves, so anything more than ~ 30 cm is too high for the shelves. The 6 inch Marvel and DC figures are good but hard to find in shops here in Oz, so need to be Amazon-ed.

        I like your collection. On another site I recently saw a picture of somebody's tabletop wargame collection - it occupied several bookshelves worth of space. If we have empty walls, might as well fill this with posters, artwork or shelves with collectables…

    • banzini on 23/07/2014 - 16:29

      it's a disgrace, one reason not to buy this.
      If I want to order something then you should go pick it up off the shelf and have it ready for me. If you can't do that for under $40 items then goodbyeeeeeeeeeeeee

      • scottb721 on 23/07/2014 - 16:42

    OP should be updated, $39 price is misleading.

    With Target, it will cost $44 (39+5) click and collect (4-10 days) or $48 (39+9) delivered.
    With HN, it will cost $40 delivered.

    • plentifoo on 23/07/2014 - 15:43

      In contrast.

      HN has no pickup option, so you will have to spend $40 regardless.
      Target, just rock up to a shop and pick it up for $39 like I just did.

      Not everything has to be ordered online.

    bought one from bigw in the toysale, it's ok it launched in a range with clone troopers.

    While the darth feels reasonable quality the clone troopers are terrible quality, gf wanted one and the paint comes off them so easily.

    Let niece play with them, so a child ok….. a child who its intended for and she managed to damage the gun on the clone trooper which is part of the arm and scratch up the paint with minimal effort.

    So thats a neg on that end.

    Big W also had these at 49.95 RRP, we used the rewards card to get them at toysale prices earlier and also used staff discount getting it for 37.95…. and have found heaps of people listing these on gumtree for 70-150 as 'collectors items' when tons are on the shelf at target and bigw Tea tree plaza for $39.

    Then found out sat theres the deluxe one that has a lightsaber and voice in myers for 59.95. Had a look at it, buy that one its much nicer. I would have if I didnt have this one.
