New Black Chrome Darth Vader minifig
 
Similar to the gold chrome C3P0 chase figure of 2007, Lego is throwing a black chrome Vader into random sets.

Per Steve Witt, LEGO Community Relations Coordinator on FBTB
Quote:

The Chrome black Darth Vader is going to be randomly inserted in 2009 sets in the US just like the chrome gold c-3po was in 2007. this means it won't be in battle packs or retail exclusives (including shop@home, target, wal-mart, etc.). There will be around 10,000 just like last time and it will be a luck of the draw thing, just like last time.

the one's in Europe right now are part of a special promotion and I believe it will probably be the only way to get them in Europe. rest of the world is probably out of luck again, just like last time.
So as Steve said it's in Europe as a special promo and some guys on Eurobricks already have it, as seen here:

Let the chase begin!

Not as cool as the gold 3PO, which by the way I found in the TRU exclusive Republic Cruiser, so that bit about them not being inserted in retailer exclusives last time is inaccurate. May be true this time.

It'd be really cool to find one of course, but I'm not going to go nuts and pay $100 on Ebay or anything if I don't. A chrome 3PO makes sense, chrome Vader..not so much.

Lucky you. I bought some extra sets that I wouldn't have normally when I was trying to find the Threepio but didn't have any luck. Hopefully they'll pass Vader out at SDCC like they did with the Threepio.

True it doesn't make as much sense but I think Vader's popularity will keep this a popular chase fig.
