April 9, 201312 yr I went with Vader. Still, I am not a fan of this type of set so I would only buy it for investment purposes.
April 10, 201312 yr Author Iam almost tempted to remake the poll with only top 3 for choices and email the results to TLG. "We here at Brick Picker have decided your next UCS bust should be.... please understand that the 40 that voted know what's best" lol.
April 16, 201312 yr Interesting thread, but since technically Lego has only made a Darth Maul bust, I doubt we'll see any more. I think Lego was throwing a lot of ideas out there back in 1999 and 2000 (UCS, minis, Technic, Mindstorms, etc) when the SW theme was new and apparently, despite what the Maul bust is worth now secondhand, it wasn't flying off the shelves when new. I remember seeing it and the Yoda sculpture sitting on clearance at Walmart stores.

Lego had just started the SW sets, so you didn't have an established group of Lego SW collectors, and there were certainly fewer AFOL's.
Left off quite a few due to too many choices. If you chose other, please specify.
