The problem is that most Tradera sellers doesn´t ship to other countries than Sweden. None of those you mentioned do.

CopMike Posted December 23, 2008 Just so you know, the Vader figures have been around in Sweden and many Swedes have been selling theirs thinking it was just a " simple Vader " Just check www.tradera.com this is where you can find them quit cheap. Well, hi and welcome to Eurobricks. Your first post was this? Why don´t you go and introduce yourself here !The seller is from Sundsvall which one of the towns in Sweden that got this promotion. Matter of fact, they had two toystores with this, kind of cool considering Sundsvall only has about 50000 people and is ranked the 21st largest. I think the seller bought/was given a bunch of these and now he´s cashing in! So I agree that for a couple of weeks one might be able to score a "cheap" one on swedish "e-bay"-sites but then the goldrush probably is over. And then it´s buying US sets for a shot a the 10000 ramdomly inserted into the SW-boxes. CopMike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabalus Posted December 23, 2008 Didn t mean to be the saver but I felt a bit sorry for people seeming desperate for that figure. And yes seller on tradera don t sell internationally but it was just to show people that the figures isn t actually that rare and doesn t have to cost 120USD. Copemike should definetly help out people here ! eller hur!? just kidding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabalus Posted December 26, 2008 well.... I guess you were right...there is no more Vaders on the swedish site but they start popping on ebay,,,, already 3 there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Pete Posted January 1, 2009 Do we have any more news about the availability of this figure in places other than the US and Sweden yet ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motti Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Do we have any more news about the availability of this figure in places other than the US and Sweden yet ? I think Sweden was just a test. I believe this will be released only in the US, like the C-3PO. There are rumours of more than 10.000 which were made. They may be distributed globally, but the chances of winning one from that would be very small, as no more than the amount released int he US would be distributed globally, most likeyl unfairly concentrated in certain areass.

Mirandir Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Do we have any more news about the availability of this figure in places other than the US and Sweden yet ? A Swedish LEGO employee commenting on the Swedish campaign did say that there were to be a campaign in Germany too. And there is info stating that there is to be 85.000 produced. Which would mean that it's going to hit other countries as well. Edited January 2, 2009 by Mirandir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penitent Tangent Posted January 2, 2009 Do we have any more news about the availability of this figure in places other than the US and Sweden yet ? I'd imagine places like the UK, France and Germany will as well then. I don't know about other countries, but the UK Lego site still isn't running because of the holidays, I'm still waiting for my Ahsoka's starfighter and Tie-fighter to be shipped. But if I get one, I'll point it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
