Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Respectfully Disagree. (But everybody has their taste)

I have the Dark Lord of the Sith PF and overall happy with it, but I'm this close to pulling the trigger on this new one.

I liked the ROTJ Costume the most, but I really like Vader's Presence here. Its a Grim Reaper Vibe. Personally, I always wanted my Vader to have an intimidation presence without him having to do too much.

Other than the baggy leggings, I think this may be the best 1/4 Vader.

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

Not a SW fan here. I genuinely want to buy him, just by far the most aesthetically appealing Vader I've seen.

I do like this piece, but there are so many things wrong with this costume and the relationship between the helmet, armor and cape that I just can't handle it.

I'm too hard core.

I really dislike the idea of Vader in a castle. That was the only thing I didn’t care for in R1.

The Castle was taken from designs for The Empire Strikes back that went unused. Evidently he was always supposed to have one.

This should make me feel better about it but it doesn’t.

I see a castle as an object of vanity. I prefer to see Vader as a slave to he emperor. I prefer the idea that he is bound to constant servitude.

Likewise. Lucas said Vader's Design was based from the Armor of the Samurai.

Seeing a Dark Samurai reside in a castle makes this character more bad ass
