I got my UCS X-Wing at Toys, Toys, Toys in the Eatons Centre on Friday
lunchtime. There were still a couple left. You will have to look up for them
and ask for assistance...they are on the top shelf, near the ceiling.
As for the minifig screw up...My 3440 also had black hands for the Emperor. I
called S@H and they told me that the "packaging is in error" (i.e. Palpatine
should indeed have black hands(, but they would send me a torso with yellow
hands if I like. I said yes and even requested the torso be white...no
problem! (white for my LUGNET membership torso decals which I hope to receive
soon). My guess is LEGO is trying to cover up the mistake with Palpatines
hands. To say the packagin is an error is weird. Palpatine should have
yellow hands. THis is the kind of detail I know LEGO pays attention too
(remember the one hand yellow/one hand black on the Jedi Luke?)
