Yep. Some stores like Smyths seem to be getting it early though.

[Agent Kallus]

Awesome thanks for the quick response.

Are you talking about the Cloud City Lando? If so, that was a fake.

I think the pastel yellow is perfect for Bossk.

im remembering more like sideshows choice

Looks like sideshow figured out the actual color  

 And Lego used a very similar color

The reason  that the color might be slightly off is because Lego can't always make new colors. They thought that this was a close enough color, so they chose to use it. I'm more disappointed that his legs aren't dual molded though.

Yellow is still yellow those picture are all close enough. The real problem is the lack of dual molding, I think that no feet would look better than the  green toes poking out of the yellow tenth plant jumpsuit.

i wish they would have went a bit darker with a dark yellow or  very light orange, the bright yellow is just too much imo

Agreed. The end of his pant are even up to where the dual molding could be. Maybe for his next update in a few years they'll fix it.

dual molding should be a staple by now for all figs

now we just need a Zuckuss

Unfortunately, for Star Wars minifigures, it's not.

If only the fig had dual molded arms and legs, then it would be perfect. I hate that LEGO refuses to use dual molding in Star Wars sets when literally every other theme has used it. It's only a matter of time, right? Eventually they'll give in...

The light yellow is okay, but actually, tan (sand yellow) would've been more accurate!

Dumb question, which retailer is Vader's transformation exclusive to? 

[LegoColinStudios]

Does anyone know of someone who has reviewed the Jedi starfighter?

That Bossk is a good fig and I don't mind the skin color, but they really could have at least printed the scaled part of his legs if dual molding was out of the question. I know it's only like a $15 set, but why include him at all unless you're going to do the best you can? 

[Crzypengu]

I wonder if its possible that a pre-order for the new Lego UCS Millennium Falcon could happen on May 25 this year. I know pre-orders are not something Lego does often, but they did do it with the previous UCS Millennium Falcon.

As far as I know Vader's Transformation is not a retail exclusive and should start becoming available June 1st (Although as many have stated, Summer wave sets have started to pop up in some places). The only retail exclusive in the summer wave is 75191 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive which is probably a Toys R Us (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) exclusive, in the US at least.
