2004 European Original Trilogy Collection Toys R Us Exclusive Silver Saga Edition Darth Vader
Posted by Brian in Original Trilogy Collection on 2010/07/18
Description: More than 25 years after we first saw the Star Destroyer enter the screen at the beginning of A New Hope, Star Wars continues to both inspire and entertain. Much more than just a series of films Star Wars is a total experience. Essential components of that experience are the toys that we grew (and continue to grow) up with and the sense of community that brings us together to discuss, debate, and share all things Star Wars. It is with respect to the heritage of that experience that Hasbro offers this limited action figure to celebrate the dedication and enthusiasm of the fan community. May the Force be with you!
Comments: This is the same as the US figure, but with the added multi-language sticker on the back which, as it happens, is removable.
