Ronan Nissen Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 One sold on eBay for $13 yesterday. The seller was in the US and they claimed it was part of a forthcoming McDonalds promotion.LEGO has already told me that there is no planned LSWX tie-in with McDonalds next year and they are unaware that any of the other LEGO offices have a similar promotion planned. I smell bs(the seller's bs of course). Quote
LEGOscum Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Probably. But I'm more interested in how someone in the US got hold of one of these promo figures. Quote
mutley777 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Chrome vader is now listed on BL so keep a eye out for them and the price! Nice pic too :) . Bricklink vader Quote
natelite Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 if there's anything that TLC learned it's that if you chrome something, the fans will buy it! ooooo shiney!!! will we see chrome silver r2-d2? how about chrome white stormtrooper? $13 isn't that bad. i would buy one at that price. Quote

Chrome Storm Trooper?!? Now you're just being silly With the appearance of so many new chrome minifigures, do you think that TLC will brach out and start doing chrome ships, like Padme's from Episode I? Or even transparent fig promotions for a ghost obi-wan Quote

Or even transparent fig promotions for a ghost obi-wan chrome stormtrooper will be an even greater sell than chrome vader. you only need one vader but stormtroopers, you can have a whole army of those!

Now you're just being silly With the appearance of so many new chrome minifigures, do you think that TLC will brach out and start doing chrome ships, like Padme's from Episode I? Or even transparent fig promotions for a ghost obi-wan I remember a topic where one of our members had called TLC to ask if they were going to make trans-clear minifigs (he referred to the SW ghosts), and got an answer saying that they won´t do that because of the slightly worse quality in trans colours, so the joints would brake very easily. He also said that they have tried, and that he had a trans minifig sitting on his desk. So unfortunately we aren´t going to get trans minifigs. Quote

If you guys are talking about this one then you need to take a closer look. Look at the shipping cost. $13 is probably a steal. $13 plus $57.63 for shipping (for delivery via supersonic jet and gold packaging no doubt) is a little different. Quote
LEGOscum Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 If you adjust the shipping destination it comes down to a more reasonable number. Quote

Mirandir Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 So I got no less than two of theese the other day. IS there anyone else that find it to be kind of purple-ish rather than pure black? BTW is there anyone who knows a place where the set is still available for "prebuying"? As I have yet to get the actual Tie Fighter set... Quote
Ronan Nissen Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Is there any chance of maybe a few side angle photos of the figure? Quote
Tinn-man Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Chrome vader is now listed on BL so keep a eye out for them and the price! Nice pic too :) . Bricklink vader Looks like there's one seller, selling it for......120$ :oh3: Quote
Dark Brickz Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Looks like there's one seller, selling it for......120$ that's crazy price they are asking for!!! Quote
mutley777 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 that's crazy price they are asking for!!! Well it depends on just how many ofthes figs there are. The first chrome C-3po's went for around $200 on ebay and bricklink. so for a staring price, it is not to high. I wonder if it is anybody we know . Quote

I hope that copmike the person who owns that store reveals himself soon, I´ve already started to build a Vader-whacking base for him... (I hope that it´s CM, I don´t have Ras´ sigfig... ) Edited December 15, 2008 by Dennimator Quote
mechamike Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Well, Just before anyone suspects me.. It aint me selling my chromie vader either.. (but for 150 I sure start thinking about it) . Anyone been at Sagoland Linköping lately? They still have the promotion poster up in the window.. Quote
