Ok, I don't collect Attakus so I'm no expert but I'll try. There is no difference between the Japanese limited and the normal version. They are the exact same piece. It was just a way for them to release an additional 200 pieces or so. The Japanese pieces have their own numbering on the base. I am pretty sure that's it. The $780 sounds a bit high but that is coming from someone who isn't tracking these pieces. Hopefully someone else will chime in. IN the meantime check through the Hobbit's Price Guide. It's a very good pricing reference and you might find Boba in there.

Missed the Vader question. I do have a Vader 2. It is an awesome piece and I paid $699 for it. The price was higher for a while but it has come down to between $650-700 recently. With the Sideshow Vader on the way the price on this one will probably stay around there or maybe even drop a bit more if the SS VAder is well received. $700 is a good price. It's not a steal or anything but definitely in the ballpark.

Thanks again, needed that...I'm not into the whole "mixed media" thing, so if I'll get 1 vader it will be the Vader 2.

But I'm sure the SS vader will still be awesome, more so when SS obi wan arrives.

TY

I have both Fett and Vader II. Like Zurb said, the only difference of the normal and Jp release is the number of issue.
Great statues, both of them. As far as prices, they are in the range that they average, but seem a bit on the high end. The Fett one especially. Last few weeks on ebay they've been a bit lower than that, but this week there are a few outrageous ones on there IMO.
So, long story short, yeah, those aren't bad prices. I paid 625 for my Fett (got a hell of a deal), and 770 for my Vader II a while ago. I've seen Fett go for up to 900 or so though.

YES! Matter of opinion, but it's the vader we all grew up with and love, as opposed to the boy in the suit from the last movie...
