It doesn't look like Vader (the pilot appears to have a yellow face which
wouldn't fit in with the grey one already used), but it also doesn't look like
a TIE pilot (where's the full-face helmet?). I'd guess at it being an Imperial
officer or trooper (Death Star troopers wore black with what looked like a
cycle helmet). So it looks like we won't even get a TIE pilot - grrr! Guess
I'll have to get some extra stormtroopers and paint them black - but that
might be hard with everyone else here after a few hundred stormtroopers
themselves. I think TLC need a bulk buy option here ...

| (...) I think you are looking at the emperor fig that comes with the Imperial Shuttle. His face is yellow. The TIE Fighter set comes with a black (full helmeted) TIE pilot and a white Stormtrooper. Look at the pic again. BEN GATRELLE (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
