Star Wars Transformers Death Star out at US retail!

Ohhh I have been waiting for this one. I think its going to look awesome next to Primus.

i saw it today in toys r us, in west hartford CT.....He was smaller than i thought...he looked substantially smaller than Primus...but i could be wrong

He's been out in the UK for 2 weeks now. An excellent figure and he is about the same size as Primus. The attention to detail is amazing and the lights and sounds for once compliment a figure.

Here are the pics:

That would explain the price: $ 55.99! I'm not a typical Star Wars fan, but he's a planet former, I'm a sucker for those...

My Target got them in a few days ago and are not supposed to be put out until the week the Transformers DVD will be released

But from past experiance other Targets don't follow the rules and put them out anyways

They are in stock at HTS.
I bought one Thursday from Hasbro Toy Shop with the Discount Code. Mine was only $37.50 with the discount.

Cool, this is about the only SWTF I want, so I look forward to getting him. Still, with shipping I got 2 for 1 on the Millenium Falcon, so I may wait to see if I can do that again.

Just finished his planet mode. What a bitch! It actually is fun, but it is the supreme puzzle former! Basically you fold his legs up and try to align the shell, but it is almost like a game that if you let one piece slipp out, you have to start over. I'll take pics of it next to the other planet formers, but I got to go pick up dinner first.

Damn...I almost bought this on the Hasbro site with the discount code, but I am glad I didnt.

I love Vader, I love Transformers, but he looks kinda small for the $50 price tag. Looks like he's at least 3-5 inches shorter than Primus... LOL... I bought my Primus for $25 on Hasbro.com, so I am not about to shell out $50 for something smaller than him.

A complex transformation, and more pics, cool 2 things to look forward to!

That is unless it has the same type of defects as Leader Brawl

Anyhow, I still look forward to the comparison shot, and if you wouldn't mind, could you also toss one of the insert in as well? I've been real curious about the box size of this figure. I trust you when you said nothing special is going on in there, but it would just shut my stupid brain up

Enjoy your eats

I saw this 3 days ago. they have 4 at my closest walmart

Agreed, I realy want to ad this to my collective, but I might have to wait for a deal.

That is unless impulse once again gets the better of me

It makes sense that he's smaller than the others if you want to display them together, but... For the same ammount of money ? Something be wrong with that.

bought this at target on addison in chicago a week ago......this is old news

Saw him at Wal-Mart. Looks like a shell-former to me....

55$ ???????!!!!!!!!!! Too much!!

Maybe if you had made a post then, it would be. But no one has posted about it yet.

Think I'll pick this up once Argos drop him to sale price.

A quick review. This is definitely the best SW TF yet. It is poseable and the Transformation is really fun. It is a pure puzzle former that makes Elephant Prime look easy. It's almost like a rubocs cube kind of game. The planest mode was bigger than I thought it would be, maybe about 5% smaller than Primus. And it does form an absolute perfect sphere. The price is higher than I thought it would be, but if you want it, now is the time to get it as it is 25% off on Hasbro's website.

Thanks, you are a God Among Insects for that

I like the light up pic, and the alt mode is very reputable. That is about the best thing about this line. The ships are dead on!

Also thanks for throwing in a pick of the insert. I was hoping it would be used better, but it looks like they did it just to expand the package to make it seem bigger and help people rationalize the cost

Enjoy the toy, if it be sooner or later, I still look forward to getting this one myself!

Have my own back story and everything for it

Also, do those feet in alt mode fold in, and how does the cape hide?

cant wait to see reviews on this guy

his robo-mode size is a little disappointing, but darth vader+ death star+ transformers = must buy for me.

is he going to be available everywhere?

Jeez, he is tiny! Look at those 3 figures, they're all the same price point! They're all supreme class. What a crock! I was hoping the Death Star would at least be the same size as Primus but they just keep getting smaller & smaller for the same damn price! I was upset when Primus was smaller than Unicron, now try to imagine how I feel. They made a tiny figure & added a ton of dead space in the box so they can still charge $50.00. And they're probably hoping nobody would notice!

Think thats bad, I just got hit with all my bills(hence being home this weekend), and I don't get paid again till the day AFTER the good HTS code expires

Hey the little Tie Fighters sort of Transform. You can flip open their canopies for a "Mech Mode".

Vader has more gimmicks than Primus and Unicron together, hence the price tag.

Can you describe the sounds and lights? Any phrases?

i think he say: "all your moneys are belong to us"

are they like little folded over bots

seen him today.... but he isnt worth 50$ imo, 29.99$ is more reasonable.

So DLX '09 Bumblebee is worth about $2 according to your scale of value.

Yea, his lights and sounds are awesome.

In Robot mode, his lightsaber hand has a seperate light and sound to activate the lightsaber. Also you can press his front button to make him say his phrases and light up his chest, there are a couple of vader originals there. In ship mode (or by pressing the back button, his lights and sounds are not mode dependent), he does two phrases (I think, he's not in front of me now) and the Death Sta cannon does like a countdown thing with the lights, then does all lights like it's firing...but after it fires, it does the Darth Vader breathing noise, which I think could have been left out of vehicle mode.

One thing that I noticed is that it is hard to transform back to robot becase once it's in a ball, I could find where to crack the shell, it is that tight! I did figure it out, and got him back. Then I looked at the instructions and see they actually do include seperate "back to robot mode" instructions for that reason. The instructions are the biggest I've seen in a long time. Which is how I found ot that the Tie Fighters have "functionality".

I'll wait for a price drop , thats a bit too much for one of those starwars figures, all the ones i owned in the past fell apart or were way too loose so im not dropping that much money on him.
He is a cool looking figure though.

little too pricey for me. Maybe if i see him on sale somewhere id love to get him

idk, that's a pretty cool looking death star. However I find I can't take my eyes off of Unicron.

Death Star vs unicron or starscream yes yes
god dam it i love big fing toys whoooooooooooo
its gonna a be on like donkey kong
in the 80's dude my collectio0n gonna be even bigger


note the reason why im in a crazy mood cause i counted
all the transformer in collection and ive got in total
1075 whooooooooooooooo

Gotta say, he kicks ass over Primus and Unicron. I'm one who likes the Star Wars line but that is one nice figure.

Hasbro's website has it for $49.99 and if you use that 25FALL code you get it at 25% off and free shipping.

Mine didn't come with a cape unless it's well hidden. Where was yours when you opened the box?

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