I'm wondering if they'll do both the limited and legend version with this one as well and whether the limited will just be a clean painted version - no scuffs or scratches or blotches in the paint. Considering their Vader being priced so low, and seeing what they fetch now, do you guys think they'll keep that low price point or raise the price?
I only ever saw it announced as a 'Legend' and Gino stated in 2013 that that was all that was planned. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Vader legend was pretty much the same as the limited underneath anyway; I thought I'd seen pictures of it stripped down showing that it had filler added?
It's a tough call on price because whilst the 'Legend' Vader sold quickly the limiteds were available for months after. I bought mine, new, for £450 in the end and there was still stock left. That said I think the price will be relatively high because
a). People will pay.
b). The paint work may push the price up and if it doesn't then it's still a convenient reason to give given that people will pay.
I'm thinking north of $1000 although really I'm guessing.
If they do eventually produce these and there's only one numbered version then it's simply limited regardless of what they call it. As there will undoubtedly be extensive cleanup I'm simply curious to see it from an overall size and shape perspective to guage how it stacks up against those things in existence that have some sort of decent known lineage. That effectively means the pre production 2 buck or those casts closely related and the Master Replicas. If Anovos produce something then there's another possible item with some sort of lineage. I think we can write the GMH casts out at this point in time as we already know there is a size issue and a shape issue.

I don't personally but in this case I stand by there not being a lot out there with lineage.
