I'd like a Vader costume and would welcome any pointers and tips on acquiring and building sources.

What's your budget? I actually love the Rubies with a better helmet on it. Modifiable and cheap.

Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

Selling multiple runs of re-paints is what allows Hasbro to bring us new/different helmets. I know it's impossible to feel sorry for a multi-billion dollar company but they don't have unlimited funds for R&D and tooling. Re-paints allow them to make more money on a product they already spent...

For ANH Vader more expensive but not as much as Quasimodo you can not go wrong with EFX PCR Vader helmet, however they are up a bit so may as well go with Quasi.
