Return from CNY16- Here come the Darth Vader

3242 of 5000- Royal Selangor Darth Vader

Its finally here. The order was placed in November 2015 and the bloody Royal Selangor took many of the customer figurines on tour to Europe and US for display before finally releasing  it back to us. 

Well, the first batch was produced up to 500 pieces which i also happen to have one which i promptly sold for a tidy profit and bought a 2nd piece when they decide to increase production to 5000 pieces. well the number 3242 means something to me and i am definitely not selling this one.

All Darth Vader are hand sculpted and every piece will be unique and that's the beauty of it all. if it's machined milled then the collectible factor will be very much reduced. Not to mention the new Darth is a wussy in the JJ Abrams series, this make Darth Vader all the more collectible.

As a guide, prices have risen 10 times for the first batch production of 500 pieces and 4-6 times for the 2nd batch from 501-5000.

Collected it with my lady today at Suntec!
