XM is a great company, they screwed this up. Let's give them a mulligan
I don't know if I can outright say what I want to say. So what I will say is, it wasn't XM's idea to make this a set....

The ES is 250 and costs roughly $1600 USD.

Since XM is redoing Vaders Helmet I would be tempted to get this but the shipping costs will probably be like $600 USD... it's the shipping that kills it for me..

"Redid the helmet now the flush between the tip of the front helm and top of eyes is much tighter."

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

As much as I love the 3 pieces I have from XM, this piece (or pieces) does not look good. I don't think XM truly understands the SW collector and what they expect out of a Vader statue, because, as JKNO pointed out, he looks very bad. This won't help their cause for keeping the SW license, that much is certain.

They understand and the original Vader concept was much better, but Disney don´t allowed XM to use it.

supposedly, you don't know that for certain it's just what XM is telling you.
