The Darth Vader Minifigure is interesting to say the least.....If it goes cheap enough i'll probably grab some

It's so absurdly silly, I love it. I imagine the retail is gonna suck major portions of womp rat ass though. Now that it has been revealed, I kind of want to make a modified variant of the Microfighters AT-AT to match.

For $60, it's not bad.

I think this is so weird and don't understand why Lego would ever spend any development/production time on this.  I'm not even sure I'd pay $30 for it.  I find it hard to imagine that anyone down the road would feel like they missed out not getting this set at retail.

They would have done better doing with the AT AT as they did with the holiday X-Wing

That's fine.  Opinions vary.  It represents what is fun about Lego that is lost on the SW fanbois and resellers.  By far the best Star Wars set of the year and it will be a fun decoration next to my UCS AT-AT.

It would have been interesting to see the AT-AT walker in style of the holiday X-Wing from 2019 or perhaps designed in red with pearl gold trimmings for a Santa's sleigh appearance and include a modern Santa Vader (a Santa Palpatine might have been funny too). At the least they did not take the easy route of making another basic walker then sticking a pair of reindeer antlers with a red nose at the front like some inflatable yard ornament from Home Depot.

This is an incredibly niche set for the holidays and unless there are some exclusive/limited pieces to the build, it's pretty much the Gingerbread Darth Vader pulling the reins here. I am not a fan of gingerbread in general yet somehow enjoy the idea in toy form or for a winter village layout. Did not realize a cookie could be so divisive, haha.
