There's something beautifully absurd about a Sith Lord rendered in plush form, and that's exactly what makes the Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Collectors Pack Limited Edition for DS so oddly compelling. This Darth Vader variant bundles the brick-smashing DS game with an exclusive Darth Vader plush that splits the difference between menacing and huggable.

Lego Star Wars III brought clone trooper battles and prequel-era storylines to the dual screens with the same irreverent humor the franchise is known for. The game itself holds up as one of the better entries in the Lego lineup on DS. But let's be honest, you're here for that plush. The Darth Vader figure is the kind of shelf piece that catches eyes precisely because it shouldn't work, yet it does. A soft, stuffed version of cinema's most feared villain, dressed in Lego proportions, sitting next to your DS collection.

For Star Wars collectors who also chase DS variants, this pack is a quiet rarity. Plush pack-ins rarely survive in good condition because they were marketed toward younger players who, predictably, loved them to pieces. Finding one sealed or with the plush intact is the real challenge. That scarcity is what transforms a novelty bundle into a legitimate collectible.
