Glad to hear at least your problem will be resolved. Man, maybe thier quality is gonna suffer. I sure hope not! I am hoping Sideshow makes an AT-AT driver and I don't want it to have issues.

I still have the original box, figure stand, all hands that were in the separate tray including exclusive and sabers. Hopefully the new Vader will be ok.

Sideshow Darth Vader replacement finally arrived after more than a month. After the first problem with this figure, I was waiting for the replacement hoping it will be in perfect condition. It wasn't in perfect condition alas, but easily fixable though, and this was only because I kept certain parts from the damaged Vader (which I had to destroy).

The replacement Vader came with a broken ignited saber and the right belt box was unattached. I'm glad I have replacement for both, the saber was saved intentionally but the belt with boxes was among the destroyed parts but got out intact. so my new Vader is fixed with old Vader parts thus I'm not going to ask Sideshow for replacement parts.

As for the figure itself, it is impressive indeed. I like it a lot though I know the cod piece, belt boxes and chestbox could unglue at any time in the future being poorly attached. The next step will be to fix the dome to make it sit better but no flaring it yet.

Very nice to see you finally get one completed, must be frustrating to have received a second damaged, even if it wasn't severe.

Yeah, I'm glad I finally received this figure, would have been cool to be intact but wasn't the case alas.
