EDIT - Nevermind, I found it. It was taped to the side of the box.

I had the same issue!

How do u do the code on Hasbro

How big is he compared to Leader class Prime and any of the larger non-planet forming TF's?
From the sounds of things, they were more interested in filling him with fancy gimmicks than just making him a decent SWTF to fit in with the Millenium Falcon and since money is all that ever seems to matter in our greedy society, then if it makes them a profit, what does it matter how they go about it?
Still, he does look a little on the tiny side for his price and the size of his boxes, reminds me of how the Classics Voyager class was done, small toys, big packaging.

This one is really cool looking! Just may have to invest in one!

Oh noes! Capitalism has taken overe a figure!

Actually, his Transformation is extremely complex and one of the most fun I've seen in a while. While he might not be a $55 figure, he definitely is not worth less than $40.

$55, walmart have it for 49. but toy r us does have that discount

I got mine tonight at Wal-Mart for $46.42, of all prices.

My cat is also enjoying it.

Wow, this is actually a decent-looking figure, probably the only one of the SWTFs I'd ever buy. Not bad, not bad at all.

this looks quite good.

Your cat must have been very curious, it doesn't look so satisifed. Or maybe it's thinking: "Fear the Meow side of the Force!"
Darth Purr perhaps?

Any way. Darth Vader/Death Star doesn't look too bad from the pictures that were shown and the description of the gimmicks, they sound like they're worthwhile.
Once mine arrives, finding space for him is going to be tricky, but shouldn't be too hard. Do those small Tie Fighters actually transform? And where do they fit into the Death Star when in Planet Killer mode?

Tony.

There's a review here: http://tformers.com/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=849

That explains the Tie fighters and other features.

There are a couple of compartments in Death Star mode to store the fighters, and the mini Storm Trooper, and Vader figures.

Thanx to publicvisage for pointing it out in this thread:

Hasbro Toy Shop is completely sold out of Death Star Vader!

Darn! I should have bought one and display him in the background as Cybertron planet.

Death Star mode is very excellent looking, but I'm undecided on the bot mode. Once I see it in person I can finally make up my mind. I don't like the SWTFs, but this new batch of them look pretty nice, and Vader above all. Maybe......

Do you think his bot mode can make for a good Unicron kitbash?

Do you mean like building your own Unicron? I am unfamiliar with kitbashing in general so I don't know exactly what would make one TF better for Kitbashing than another.

I mean repainting Darth into Unicron color, and make him a custom head.

Yeah. Look. His body is good enough for Unicron. The only thing missing is the ring around the planet. But i don't mind a Unicron without a ring. Important thing is the planet and the robot.

And we can use the little human toys that comes with it to play with the Deluxes!

So what do these Tie Fighters do?
