Happy to say Best Buy came through and offered this wonderful figure. It's been 3D printed to make for accuracy but unlike it's predecessor that allowed for removable helmet this one was made to be as movie accurate as possible. Great find!! May the Force be with you!

I am a huge fan of Star Wars and was very excited to see this item available at Best Buy. I have been looking for this for awhile and it was a great pick up. It recreates the nostalgia of the early bird pack from 1977 and any Star Wars fan would want this. However, I was less excited when I picked it up from the local store and there was a pick up sticker affixed to the box. It would not have been hard to place it on the plastic window so as to avoid potentially damaging the box.

A lot of older collectors scoff at the 6" line of Star Wars figures. And though I agree with them on some parts (and still prefer the classic-sized figure), the 40th Anniversary collection of reproductions of the old Kenner card-backs are astonishingly cool! From someone who had the originals as a kid, this is a perfect collectors' item that reproduces the Early Bird pack from Christmas, 1977. It comes with an incredible Darth Vader figure (wow), and a display stand for the 12 original figures. They all fit the display, btw. The stand is a bit flimsy, and I found the price to be a tad high overall, but it's the nostalgic member-berries working their magic, releasing my childhood from its adult prison. This was indeed a fun spring/summer project collecting these figures, harking back to a time when my imagination still worked.

Dark vader is bad guy. He kill little kids and other people. He is also mean to friends. He has son and daughter but they don’t like their dad because he not nice. He has boyfriend with lightning come out of hand. He has a spaceship for a house but it got blew up. He made a new house but also blew up. He took off mask and was ugly so he die. Now he ghost with best friends yoda and ben.

I picked this up for $9.99, which makes it worth it (actually, I'd pay upwards of $15 for it) - it's a great "Black Series" Vader figure, what you'd expect. However, the included paper diorama background thing is kind of useless - it panders to people's nostalgia, but isn't particularly useful. At the original retail price of $39.99, you're basically paying $20 more for a cheap, cardboard backing board .

For $10 it's a nice retro Darth Vader figure. Good gift for the Star Wars fan in the family.

this item is really neet and was a great price. Grandchild, 13 yrs, liked it. Item is very detailed and best for collectors

The main reason to buy this is for the excellent Darth Vader figure. The interlocking bases and background are a nice homage to the original "12-back" figures of the 1970s, and displaying all the Black Series 6" figures on the bases, and with the background, would make for a nice display (I haven't done that yet with mine).

The figure is in great detail and is a great item to have if you're into Star Wars!!!

The product packaging was in excellent condition. Looks really nice and love the fact that it is just like the 1977 one !!!!!!! but in 6 inch size, a must buy !!!

Great Display for the new special addition Star Wars figures. Its a simple display but just be careful putting together as to not damage the cardboard backing.

Just awesome! Brings back a great sense of nostalgia. Also the detail is great

By far the best Episode 4 Darth Vader figure available The cardboard has a very nostalgic look and the cardboard insert stand is a replica of the old "12 back" 1978 original action figure cards. Absolutely love it. I took one star off because the box was a little scuffed...which may discourage collectors. Fast shipping and it was well packed...guessing it was over-stacked somewhere. Not in horrible shape, just a little indent and scraping on the top front of the package.

I was skeptic at first about the quality of this figure but after opening the box i was pleasntly surprised by the quality of not just the figure but the whole package. The stand, which i thought was going to just be made of cardboard, was the deciding factor on whether or not to return it or keep it for me. The pegs on the base of it were a nice touch and definitely make the collector in you want to just go out and buy the rest of the set. I have yet to open the gorgeous cardbacked Darth Vader figure for fear of destroying it. The throwback design and the placement of the Kenner logo make this a must have for anyone, even for those who weren't around when Kenner was around. The figure itself, I found out after some research, was designed from an entirely new sculpt and does not borrow any pieces or paint from the other Black Series Vader figures. If you're reluctant because of the price, don't be. I myself will eventually get another to open and display next to my unopened one. This will possibly be the best of the Black Series figures and it is the only one I personally own due to its quality.

Awesome old school remake of the email away original Star Wars action figure set. Very very cool to display and put one away. Only thing I don't like about Best Buy's order online then pick up is... They put a stupid sticker right on the collectible box!!! Wish could get around that somehow??

The Darth Vader figure is awesome. The stand itself is a bit flimsy and doesn't quite stand up straight.

This is quite possibly the best Episode 4 Darth Vader figure made. Excellent detail. The bigger draw for me was the 1977 12 back style cardboard backdrop. I still have a few of those cardboards from my original Figures. Love the design. Nostalgia to the max. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic 6" Darth Vader figure - it puts the previous release to shame. The display bases are nice - I have not used the backdrop portion of it, but the base parts help the figures stand. I'd recommend this solely for the figure, but the bases are a nice bonus.

Essential collectible for any Star Wars fan. Darth Vader in his best form.

It was the right price. Originally $40, it was $10 at bestbuy. I had already picked up a mint item and wanted one to open and this was it. The dude that helped me was awesome and knows customer service.
