Black Series Darth Vader reveal helmet coming...? Hasbrocon

I like collecting these Black Series helmets. These are extremely cool items, tons of features, and Hasbro is putting them in people's hands for a price less than an arm and a leg.
 
Just ordered mine on Amazon. I was debating if I wanted to get it now or wait incase the price drops, but I didn't want to risk it being gone later. Plus, this is worth $100 IMO.

The price will probably drop to $80 around X-mas then stay there. I'll pay the extra to have it now.
 
Thought of this today: if I want to wear the lower piece as a Halloween costume, I should figure out a way to add spacers to allow some more neck room. I don't really care if a gap shows. Maybe add some velcro strips.

I'd also have to pick up the rest of the costume! The Rubies Supreme is a (very expensive) option. But I really only want the "hard" goods -- less the helmet. Don't need another Vader mask in my collection.

Sometimes the Rubies Supreme drops to about $500 on Amazon and Halloweencostumes.com. Not a bad deal.
 
Thanks for the tip. Ideally, I'll find a used one on eBay at a lower price. I hop in there once in awhile but nothing yet.
 
I just put items like this in my Amazon cart and save for later. I check back regularly. There is notifications in the cart when there is a price change. When it gets to an acceptable price, I buy.
 
This isn't mine but someone built this for their helmet (from FB).

$88.00 at Walmart. Didnt have the cash but it was cool to see.

I'm thinking that's not the price sticker for it. It's just where someone (probably a customer) put it. Funny thing is, apart from the Walmart where I bought mine, I haven't seen any more. I haven't even seen any indication that anyone even had them. That's including half a dozen Walmarts, three Targets, and a Best Buy (although the latter had a Poe helmet for $50).
 
My old age must be affecting my eyes but all the great paintwork modifications that folks have done.....I can't tell the difference. I know there is because I trust the folks here but I can't tell. Can anyone do a side by side and maybe a punch list of what exactly is different? Thanks.....it also doesn't help that I'm a total noob when it comes to Vader's helmet.
 
I got my helmet yesterday. I ordered from Hasbrotoyshop for $80 with free shipping. For that price, I really like it.
I know it's not screen accurate, but I'm upgrading from a $30 standard Don Post from the 90s. So I'm not complaining too much.
My only big complaint is how short the neck piece is.
