TVC Darth Vader TIE Advanced are arriving to collectors and sadly, they neglected to include a sticker for the targeting computer as shown on the packaging and solicitation images. “I have you now” though as I took some quick measurements and put together one for you to download. Simply print out the attached image on sticker/label paper – the final trim size (gray line) should be 12mm x 7mm.
Whether intentional or accidental, it’s sad that a $139.99 priced vehicle is missing such detail.

The Marvel Legends team has had a fair amount of success with MTO (made to order) items that fall outside of the Haslab model – Dragon Man, Mephisto, and the recently announced Apocalypse to name a few. The Star Wars brand really hasn’t explored this concept to that extent. Question is, what would you like to see offered as an MTO item for the Vintage Collection, Black Series, and/or Retro Collection lines?
