Hey Everyone, my first post after lurking around for ages.
My girlfriend just visited the TRU in Frankfurt, Germany, they are not selling individual Chrome Darth Vaders and are apparently under lego instruction not to do so.
To get a chrome vader you have to spend over 26 euros on lego (so I asked her to pick me up the new Tie Fighter). The chrome vader is then given out as part of a promotion.
Dont know whether all TRU shops are being that strict about selling the Chrome Darth Vaders, and the price of 4.99 euros per Chrome Darth Vader is just a nominal price set by lego.
Hope it helps, was a bit gutted myself that I couldnt pick up another vader for the office.
Cheers - Jimmer
