Eek! This thing is ******* huge!  :o   280 millimeters is equal to 11.02 inches.

My friend has the DC Direct 400% Batman, and yeah, it's about 1 foot (12") tall - huge!

This Fett is really really cool, but at $56 retail, I won't be surprised to see him fetch $200+ on the eBay market, and that's just the starting bid!  :(

Probably gonna count myself out on this one and use my left-over C3 cash to chase Logray down...

I have the 400% Batman and Venom, they are awesome! Bats 59.99 retail. But
Fett is gonna be so sought after, I might have excuse myself from chasing one
down also. With series 4 on the way, all my brick money is tied up at the moment!
Damn, I really want this too! Just talking about these the other day with a few other brick buddies., how cool they would be, but also how MUCH they would end up being.

WOW!!!!

I am not a big Kubrick collector but like getting one or two here and there....got the Fett, Sandtrooper and Han Carbonite....

If I could get my hands on this one I would buy it.

I got a contact in Japan I am going to try to get a hold of for this.

If anybody get's a line on one please let me know.

P.S. And don't worry.....I won't be selling it to Brian's Toys  ;)

You'll all get it for a good price if you're patient, me thinks. Yes it's only 1000 peices but a clean carded possibly 1 in 150 carded Carded 21 Back Kubrick Fett was passed up on $250 today. Really I think that 1000 is a pretty big number in the Kubrick Satr Wars collecting world. I mean the Gentle Giant Maqette Padme which was available only in the US and limited to 1000 (correct me if I'm wrong) is going for just over $200 in its initial hype.  It'll drop soon.

Ok, I gotta get a 400% Boba Kubrick, anyone able to hook me up? I've been so far removed from the picture, I dont know what's going on anymore.

I have to admit, I REALLY miss the Kubricks. Will Adam get back in on it? The world may never know.... ;)

I got my wish.  I was hoping they would make a 400% Fett someday.  The only bad thing is that it's an exclusive.  If I am able to track this down it will be my 7th 400%.  I need more room.   :-\

There are two at $268 and $269 right now...I don't collect any of these 400% and 1000%, what's the going rate?

I'm holding out for a price of less than $200.  As for the going rate of bigger Kubrick's it totally depends on the specific item.  I've gotten a 400% for as low as $40, but this Fett is an exception being Star Wars related and being limited to only 1000 pieces.  Everyone be patient with this one, and hopefully the price will come down considerably in the coming days.   
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: DSJ™ on April 29, 2005, 03:27 PM
The average price right now is $268 to $300 plus then add that shipping on which is going to be higher than the previous Kubricks from Japan.

Hopefully this will come down in cost, $200. or less would be super.

Yeah, I am actually going to have alot of patience with this one. Unless I can get it at an amazing price, I will be passing.

Post by: DSJ™ on May 3, 2005, 03:31 AM
The tooling for new stands could pricey, keep us posted Scott.

As for the 400% Boba, I have not jumped on getting one thus far. Not sure how long to hold out for. I still want to get one, like everyone one else for a good price.
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: Hes No Good to Me Dead on May 3, 2005, 05:02 AM
The Boba 400% are still very high. Still it has only been a few days since it was released. I still think they'll drop below $200 some time soon and as low as $150 given time, but I could be wrong.  There are alot of 400% collectors, not to mention the avid Star Wars Collectors, out there so that might keep prices up.

I really don't think that they will go higher than now, so at least that is an incentive to hold off. And there are alot of the usually Hong Kong / Japanese re-sellers who have picked quite a few of them off Yahoo Japan, so they are going to flood the market in the next couple of days and should have plenty to go arond for every one.

As for me, I have bought one for myself. This will be my third 400% Kub to so along with the Spiderman and Evangelion ones.  FYI the Spiderman, which was also limited to 1000 (I believe), doesn't go for much over $90 these days on eBay.

It does look awesome in the vintage style box though.  :-[

Since Padawan brought up series 4, i must say i cannot wait for this series to come out.  ;D

Man, that's a sweet picture (and Fett collection) there Simon!  Definitely helps illustrate the size of the 400% piece.  Very nice.

And belated congrats to Jeff for finally nabbing the Logray.  I've been laying off the Logray and VC Jawa search for ages, so I really need to get my ass in gear on those two before I fall too far behind with the Series 4 release.

That Be@rbrick Wicket is calling my name for some reason :P

Let me tell you something about this Kuby... it's ******* huge!  :o  The box is not tape shut so you can remove the Kuby, thats a great plus. I can see why it cost big bucks to send here, the box without the flap measures 14" x 7" 6 1/2". With the flap it's 14".

It's big and it's heavy and it's so... so... gorgeous!  (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a052.gif)

Is anyone out there truly "hardcore" about completism in this line?

I haven't heard of anyone keeping their individual figure boxes sealed.  I also don't think I've even seen anyone doing the carded/boxed AND loose too either.

And don't forget, that Black pauldroned (carded) Sandtrooper is technically a different figure too...  :'(

I have a request.  I just found out my 400% Fett still hasn't been sent from Asia (after 10 days waiting) and I need a hi res scan of the front pic ASAP.  Can anyone send me a hi res (600 DPI) scan of the front pic (front view of Fett with the fireball thing and words inside.)  It'll be worth a couple free cards and bubbles to you (see link below).  Let me know.   Thanks!  Tony

I just received my "update" e-mail from Robby.jp a couple of days ago and there was no mention of this, but maybe it'll be added soon...

edit... after thinking... can Robby.jp get something in that is a Medicom Collector's Club exclusive?  I'm guessing not.  Now I need to find out how to become a member.   ;)

As for the Medicom Collector's Club, good luck I think they only ship to Japan.

From Medicom (http://www.bearbrick.com/series10/wf400boba/):  "We will not accept the order from the outside of Japan, and will not deliver this to abroad."

Damn.

Actually, I'm not sure I'm willing to spend the money on this yet anyway.  I think I'm feeling a little gunshy after all the money I've blown on ROTS and the new Kubricks the last couple months.  :-\

Ok, so 500 of the ESB 400% Boba Fetts will be sold at a toy show of some kind on August 21-22 (I'm having a hell of a time deciphering that), then the remaining 1505 will be sold to Collector Club members.  These last 1505 pieces are planned to ship October 2005.

6090 Yen or $55 US or $67 CDN - seems like a pretty decent price.  Do I dare ask what the "vintage" version was going for?

I pulled the trigger, shipping was only $8.79 for a grand total of $258.79 shipped.  I called Toy Tokyo as I thought there was a 10% coupon, no luck. 

The individual in the internet department advised me that there are no coupons and he would have to check and see if there are any more of the 300% Fetts in as Toy Tokyo only got a few  :o.  That being the case, I guess it's a bit of a gamble if my order will be filled.  We shall see.

Thats the ESB boba I think. Im lucky enough to be going to the wonder festival, and if I get there early enough I'll be picking myself up one. sounds like it  may be only one per customer though, so cant take orders.

OK, so is that carded?

Hey Mono. Another Japanese based collector? Cool. Welcome.  Make sure you get there  3am. I will never go to a Japanese Toy Show as long as I live. As some of you may recall, I ended up watching a procession of professional toy-show-goers walk out with 500 Medicom Vinyl Fetts before I had even advanced 1 step in the line. I heard it's not that much difference at any mjaor toy show in the world though.


Ain't that the truth.  C3 was marginally better.  Those of us with press passes had a relatively easy time.  Those without often had no luck.  Dale got in line one night at around 2 am and had some success (may have been in line multiple nights) and Jason (HoloElvis) did the same to have some success with the C3 Vader.  But way, waaaaaaaaaaaaay more people left that show frustrated than happy.

Different shade of green on the helmet and around the neck. Chest and crotch plates are the same (dark) as with an area that is painted on the collarbone to the backside. Also, both the capes are a different color, the BH version is painted a darker green than the helmet and the ESB version is more like a dark olive green.

What's up with this auction? Where is the flap on the box? Is it bent around? If so I don't think the box is in "MINT condition. (C8.5+)".

Looks like the box flap is closed maybe?
The rest of the box seems to have cellophane around it, but the flap part
doesn`t?
I`ve not seen one in person (YET!), so I`m not sure how these were put out.

Yep, the flap is there and bent right over the front of the box.

It sure looks like there is no cellophane on the flap, something must be holding it down as I would think the flap would lift a bit like that. Maybe just the lighting and we can't see the cellophane on the flap.

I haven't check in for awhile, but that was a nice surprise to see 400% Luke and Han Stormies. Cool. I can't wait. Blister is the same wholesaler that does all the Attackus Japan exclusives. I really don't think that these will end up being that expensive if you wait. Brent is a testament to that. If you have to have em straight away then yeah they'll be expensive.

I also noticed that a carded Sandtrooper and Vader ending on $200. The carded SW Kubs are slipping in value slowly but surely.

I saw those also, same guy was bidding on both.
I saw a 400% Fett with a BIN of 140 the other day. Had to pass though, no
funds right now. The 40$ shipping is a killer too. Does it really cost that much
to ship from Japan/Singapore/Hong Kong ?

maybe there's hope afterall for the luke/han 400%..

my local store told me their japanese wholesaler is taking pre-orders for the pair..

and without shipping in it, its less than 7200 yen each..

I know Dale (DSJ) has received items from HLJ before, including cases of kubricks, so he may have a pretty good idea.


Well, to ship one EMS is close to $40 bucks according to most overseas sellers.


Ouch.  I knew it would be pricey, but that hurts.

I noticed HLJ listed shipping option for EMS and SAL.  Do you guys know how long each takes to ship an item?
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: Jeff on November 3, 2005, 11:57 AM
I noticed HLJ listed shipping option for EMS and SAL.  Do you guys know how long each takes to ship an item?

I don't think it matters as the stuff will most likely go EMS.  Once you get to a certain yen/dollar amount, they automatically give you EMS shipping. 

The two 400% together will run 14,476 Yen and according to HLJ:

"some requests for SAL shipping may be shipped by EMS instead if the item is too large to go by SAL small packet, or if there are many items in the order and/or the order is particularly valuable (above 15,000 yen). "

So, since these are kinda big AND the Yen total is pretty close to 15k, I'm guessing they will ship them EMS anyway.   :-\
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: DSJ™ on November 3, 2005, 12:14 PM
I selected SAL but it will ship EMS do to the size, shipping will cost but you won't find out till they ship.

SAL will take some time to arrive but EMS to me has taken anywhere fro 1-2 weeks but it sits do to customs clearance.

Shipping on the 400% Boba Fett is around $35-$40. EMS and I have received mine within the week.

All depends what the Luke and Han come in like box with that big assed flap like Boba.

I have no worries with HLJ, I have delt with them many times and I always look forward to more dealings.  :)
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: JesseVader08 on November 3, 2005, 12:21 PM
Thanks for the info guys, I wasn't sure how exactly Japan's postal system worked (besides EMS being faster than SAL).

Of course, even with the high price of shipping, it'll probably still be cheaper than waiting to grab them on eBay.  :)

Post by: DSJ™ on November 3, 2005, 12:38 PM
Just remember you get nailed with customs Jesse, hopefully they will mark just the one Kuby than both. They did that with my last Master Case, 4 boxes of 12 and only marked the value for one box.  ;D

Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: DSJ™ on November 3, 2005, 10:18 PM
I was just looking at some of my past orders from Japan to give you guys a base price.

From HLJ:
1 Master Case Series 5: Shipped EMS, 5400 yen = $45. US.
1 box Konami Thunderbirds: Shipped SAL, 1480 yen = $12.60. US
1 Captain Scarlet book: Shipped SAL, 1080 yen = $9.20. US.

Other:
1 400% Boba Fett: Shipped EMS, 4700 yen = $40. US.
40 Kubrick Display Cases: Shippied EMS, 6100 yen = $56. US. (very heavy box).

With EMS, you get a tracking number and most of my stuff arrived via courier (Purolator) and sometimes Canada Post. SAL was delivered via Canada Post. 

All those prices were bang on.

As for the confirmation email from HLJ, nothing thus far. If you have not received it then you should contact the e-mail addy given in the "Order Acknowledgment" that was sent out when you placed the order very soon.

I just forwarded there e-mail to them and am now waiting for a reply.  :)

Yikes! Maybe I sent that e-mail to soon.  ;D

I just received an e-mail from HLJ:

Quote
Thank you very much for placing an order with HobbyLink Japan. This message is to confirm that we have received the following order and are now processing it.

They have the shipping method listed as SALSP so I am guessing that is "Surface, Land, Air, Small Parcel".

So for myself, it looks good to me. Hopefully everyone that placed there orders receives there confirmation soon.  :)

Ya, I just got my confirmation too. It looks like EMS is really expensive, if they ship it the other way, maybe I will still get it. It looks to be alot cheaper on SAL. Lets hope.

Post by: DSJ™ on November 4, 2005, 12:21 AM
I hope so too, it may all depend on what these Kuby's are packed in. We have no idea what to expect till there released. If there in the box style like the 400% Boba then I know the shipping cost will be up but if there just say in a plain old clear baggie then that make differ.  :-\

I just received another e-mail from HLJ as to my inquiry on not receiving a confirmation before I got one:

Quote
Thank you for writing, and for your order. We apologize for the delay in
its confirmation; we were closed on November 3 for Japan's Culture Day
national holiday, but neglected to change the echo confirmation message
to let you know that your order would be confirmed on November 4. Your
order has been confirmed now, and the order confirmation e-mail with your
Customer ID were e-mailed to this address earlier today.

I will say that is a very fast response from HLJ and I'm very impressed with there customer service. Not like StarWarsShop.com   :-X

I was just looking at some of my past orders from Japan to give you guys a base price.

From HLJ:
1 Captain Scarlet book: Shipped SAL, 1080 yen = $9.20. US.

Just to keep you guys informed with HLJ, I received my Captain Scarlet book today. Shipped on Oct 25, 2005 by SAL (small packet). Arrived in tip top shape and very fast for SAL IMO and the shipping cost was bag on.

No worries with HLJ, they great!  8)

Hey everybody,

Just thought I'd let you know I talked to Ryo at Robby.jp and they're taking orders for the Luke and Han 400% Stormtroopers.  Only $55 ea., or something like that.  Great deal.  Limited one each per customer and no guarantees if they'll even get them.  May want to check it out.

Tony

Han & Luke I think are December.

I gotta make kub money somehow!

A little more on topic, I saw lots of fixed price auctions listed
recently for all kinds of kubs. eBay had a 10 cent listing day or somesuch,
so anyone who hasn`t checked in awhile, it might be a good time.

Post by: Matt Brand on November 14, 2005, 09:06 PM
Hey guys.  I haven't gotten into the 400% figures yet, but I was wondering if anyone could give me reasonable price ranges on them.
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: Morgbug on November 14, 2005, 09:12 PM
Well, ballparking (and I'm not the best source)....

Han/Luke seem to currently have a set ebay price of $129.99 based on the BINs that are out there.  Retail is considerably lower though, I think $60-70 or so. 

This 12" Fett is about the normal price, ending in the $180 range with a BIN (http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-figure-darth-vader-400-BOBA-FETT-Kubrick_W0QQitemZ6012387792QQcategoryZ1345QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) though there was a recent BIN for 140 and I think an auction or two that ended in the $150-160 range.

The other 12" Fett seems to be around the $250 mark quite regularly (http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Medicom-Star-wars-BXH-10th-BOBA-FETT-400-KUBRICK_W0QQitemZ6011008860QQcategoryZ48972QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). 

There's huge variability with the 400% Fett's though, the flamethrower version just had a BIN that ended the other day for $250.  Methinks some folks don't pay enough attention. 

Should add that realistic shipping on these from Asia is somewhere around $30-40.
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: DSJ™ on November 14, 2005, 09:23 PM
Well HLJ has the Luke Stormtrooper (http://www.hlj.com/product/BLDX-01) for $65. and Han (http://www.hlj.com/product/BLDX-02) but the pre-order is over but you can still place an order.

As for the Boba Fett's, the Bounty Hunter verson (red/yellow gauntlets) around $175.-$200. and the ESB version around $150.-$190. Depends on the postings on eBay.  ;)

Oh and most of what Brent mentioned when I was typing this up!  :P

Time for a round of speculation!

OK, I was reading the latest Hyperspace article on the Official Site.  It's an article about Darren Phillipson, Director of Global Product Development at Lucas Licensing.

Anyway, he's got a bookshelf, and on the book shelf is a TON of toys... wanna guess what's on the top of the bookshelf?  400% Kubricks!

There are Stormie Luke and Stormie Han and Fett and what looks like MORE?

Here are the photos:

http://www.starwars.com/hyperspace/member/banthaonline/f20051206/img/p2_2_bg.jpg

I've included the crops of the pics below!

Just look and you'll see what I think are (from L to R)
the vinyl fett, vinyl Stormtrooper, 400% Kubrick?, 400% Stormie Twins

Then, on the far end (from R to L):
400% Fett and 400% Stormtrooper?!?

Is it just me or do you guys see more 400% Kubricks in that photo too!  I suppose it could be from a different line, but I don't know...  :-\



Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: Sithbaker on December 7, 2005, 01:09 PM
Hard to tell from that photo. Does look like a stomie down near Fett, but
could be a Han or Luke with Helmet on.
Not sure what 400% that is before the Han & Luke. It sure looks like a
400% kub though. Maybe Bespin Luke or something  ;)

The Kuby next to Boba looks like a Stormtrooper to me, I'm gong by the black marks on the mouth piece, where the arm connects to the body and the black mark around the hand.

As for this other mystery Kuby, sure looks like an Ewok, there are 400% Be@rbrick's so they can use that mold.

Just pray that they don't start making 1000% SW Kuby's or you'll be broke!  :-\

It's definitely a Be@rbrick . . . the belly is a dead giveaway. It could be a 400% of the Wicket chase Be@rbrick. Alternatively it could be a prototype of the Kaws wooden Be@rbrick (these were finally manufactured in Japanese redwood but this could have been a more neutral coloured wood).

Now the tooling is done for the 400% Han/Luke Stormtroopers a 400% Sandtrooper wouldn't be too much of a stretch  8)

he declined and was on his merry way.
On the box, where it says:
4X Kubrick Stormtrooper XXX blister Direct Exclusive XX... blah blah blah.
They are stickers. The box is very "general" other than that, so maybe this
means more 400% are coming, they could just put different stickers on for
different items... Hmmmm... ponder ponder ponder...

Yeah I got mine yesterday too. Sweet aren't they Adam? But I wish they were able to hold the helmets in their hands. I've got mine kind of wedged between the arm and the body.

Who wants to bet money that Vader will be the next 400% figure.

Hmm, Vader eh?  Gee, I guess I'll need two each of Han/Luke.  Two so I can display one each with helmets off and then another pair with helmets on to Flank Vader. 8)

Dammit, Brent.  >:(  Now I'll have to do the same thing (that's exactly why I ordered 2 RAH Stormies so they could flank the RAH Vader - having that display next to 400% Stormies and Vader would be awesome).

Post by: Sithbaker on December 26, 2005, 10:59 AM
I wouldn`t go buying 2 of each just yet, I think they will make a 400% Stormie
too. Figure most of the work is done already, right?
Maybe a WCC exclusive or something.
How about a JediDefender.com exclusive??  ;D Someone get Medicom on the
horn! Get this ball rolling now!

I wonder how far they will push this 400% line. I mean they look great and they are chunky, but not too chunky. And I feel like I get bang for my buck. I mean like the 400% Red/Yellow Fett goes for almost the same $$ as the 100% one. Keep 'em coming Medicom.

I just checked HLJ and the 400% figures are not listed but they still show up in my "Items on Order" but are listed as a "Future Release" and are showing up as "Discontinued".

Why are the 400% Kubricks so dang expensive?  I don't see why they can't make them $60-$70, but I'm not Medicom.  I don't know if it's because of licensing costs or they just know Kubrick fans will pay that.

Probably because they make so many less of them compared to the regular kubs.
And, they are 60-70 bucks if you live in Japan  ;)
Blister.jp and HLJ had them for about 70$ plus shipping. To get them shipped here is
a big part of the cost too.

When I knew I had the Luke & Han coming, I had to get a Fett.
I got the ESB one, I like it just as much and it is cheaper.
I paid 145 plus shipping, but I have seen them go a little cheaper.
Simon gets them sometimes and Honorius usually has some (check ebay for
honorious).

I can't wait either, I have a parcel pick up tomorrow! The customs charge puts it in the price range.  (http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Southern%20Alberta%20Storms/triyippee.gif)

So is it time to track down a Fett?
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: Morgbug on January 21, 2006, 02:23 AM
Yep.  There's one ending in about an hour at a decent price, but the top bidder is rather familiar so I backed off ;)  I'll get one it time, hoping about $130 or so does it.  Doesn't really matter which as I'd be happy with just one.  I'll be all over the Vader when it comes though. 

They're really nice and I like them a lot, but I don't need too many of them.  Vader's a no brainer but beyond that and Fett and what I have, there's not that much I'd buy.  I guess a Snowtrooper or Biker Scout would rock absolutely, but I could pass on a lot of others (not a blue snag 400% though 8))
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: JesseVader08 on January 21, 2006, 02:43 AM
Oh yeah, Vader's a must have (and an obvious one for Medicom to make, I would think).

I think it would be pretty hard to pass on an Emperor and a Royal Guard (or two  ;)) - that would make a very cool display.  I'd be happy with either red or blue Guards, but since Medicom seems to be avoiding PT stuff like the plague, I'd expect to see a red guard.

And the bounty hunters as 400% would look really sharp - the 100% figures have so much detailing in them, so they'd really stand out at 4 times that size.

Yep.  There's one ending in about an hour at a decent price, but the top bidder is rather familiar so I backed off ;) 

Good luck Congrats to him.  :)

Can't beat that grin on Han's face!

Have you guys had any problems getting their helmets off once you've put them on?  I tried putting Luke's helmet on last night, but I only got about half way before it felt so tight that it wouldn't come off again.  I didn't want to push my luck, so I just pulled the helmet off and haven't actually gotten it on all the way.

Nope, both my Han & Lukes helmets slip on & off with ease. Check the inside of your helmets Jesse and see if they are smooth, maybe there is a bit of plastic sticking out on the inside from the molding process.  :-\

Interesting picture, I enlarged it a tad to get a better looky.

(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Kubricks/Figures%20400.jpg)

The Kuby next to Boba looks like a Stormtrooper to me, I'm gong by the black marks on the mouth piece, where the arm connects to the body and the black mark around the hand.

As for this other mystery Kuby, sure looks like an Ewok, there are 400% Be@rbrick's so they can use that mold.

Just pray that they don't start making 1000% SW Kuby's or you'll be broke!  :-\ 

Ok, the wicket specualtion came true (damn them!).
I hope that is a 400% Stormtrooper on the far right next to Fett then! Not
just Luke/Han with a helmet on  ;D

That's a great price on that figure. 

I've noticed the price on these drifting down lately.  They seem to be closer to $75-80 each instead of the $90-100 they started out at on eBay.

You never know with these things. They could have went the other way and
been going for over 100 now. Seems the 400% settle in at a price after awhile
and stay there though.

I've been watching these things go on auction, and trying to make sure I don't drink enough to bid. The first one to go on the bay went on Feb 16th for 227.00 (inluding shipping). The last one to end (the 14th to sell on the bay) went for 98 and change, shipped. There are still 1500+ of these to hit the market. I'm not sure if there will be a difference in paint from the first 500, but it appears that waiting a little longer may really pay off if you want one of these.

I do have an extra 400 Fett, the ESB version. I picked up both versions, and decided to only keep one.

The 2 pics that surfaced.

(http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/image1068.jpg)

The last pic has a better view thus far, looks like the Bounty Hunter X version with the ESB versions rifle. The color of the gloves are the ESB version. The marks on the chest plate & the groin cover are the Bounty Hunter X version & the belt has pouches.

Wish we had better pics of this.  :-\

Same here. Bearbricks don`t really impress me, just all boring (except the horror one I got with the hockey mask on, that one was cool).
Vader is a must have! Boba, meh, I have one, thats all I really need. I wish I had the BxH version, but I`m very happy with the ESB one.

That 400% Vader looks AWESOME!

I'm in to the Imperial Bearbrick but the prices on those 400% pieces bum me out some times, lol.

Can`t quite tell if that is just Han/Luke with the helmet on or not. I would think they would have both of them there, with helmets off if they were showing those. I do think it is a 400% stormie.

I dunno guys, the helmets look the same to me. I enlarged that Stormie pic & took a shot of my Luke with the helmet on to compare.

Getting a better look at the Toy Show pic, I see a flesh colored neck. That area (raised circle) on the side of the head has 2 black & 1 blue stripe that are also raised, the blue stripe is in the center. They look identical unless I am missing something.  :-\

Not much help, but here's the shot bountyhunter-ck posted over at snowtroopers.  Not sure of the source though, so probably shouldn't leave it up over long.

I see that Ningyoushi.com is taking a preorder on the Vader, $120. with a deposit of $50. According to the site, Vader is estimated to ship December end 2006.

400% Star Wars Darth Vader Kubrick (PREORDER) (http://ningyoushi.com/product/PO030)

I'm holding off till I see something from HLJ & RoBBy.jp which hopefully will be soon.  :)

I'd imagine HLJ putting the 400% Vader up for pre order shortly. They put up the 400% Willy Wonka a little while ago as an early bird (5% off). How are the shipping costs from HLJ to the US anyways?

Post by: DSJ™ on July 24, 2006, 05:42 PM
Shipping is not too bad, I have my stuff shipped SAL but they might ship EMS depending on the size.

As for shipping, I looked at the 400% Han & Luke & EMS is $24.11 & SAL is $11.02 US.

Thanks for the story on the ROTJ Fett coming guys, I guess I'll be snagging that one instead of the previously released versions as I only ever wanted one.  Any word/thoughts on where it will be released?  A general release would be fantastic to Robby/HLJ at the usual price around $70 or so.

Nice catch Mike, well done. $94.99 is a lot better than we have seen & BBTS is closer to home so to speak. I have never has a problem with BBTS so I put my preorder in for 2. Will still see what HLJ & RoBBy.jp has to offer, might be cheaper but I'm weighing the odds with shipping & such from Japan.

also i'd like to note that, ningyoushi has put up a preorder for the 400% vader as well. it's $120 and requires a deposit of $50.

Preorder this item by Aug. 11 to get it for 5% off the regular price of 7,619 yen! ($66.16 US or $74.44 CDN).

400% Kubrick Darth Vader  (http://www.hlj.com/product/BLD30071)

7,238 yen = $63.15 US or $71.17 CDN plus shipping which is not available at this time.

Hopefully RoBBy.jp will have it up for preorder at a lesser price, should be soon.

Might be kissing the preorder at BBTS goodbye.  :-\

Isn't Robby.jp closing shop for a couple of days starting this weekend?  So if it's not updated in the next day or so, it won't be for a bit yet. 

And how much cheaper was Robby than HLJ?  I didn't think the price at HLJ was really that bad.

Holy ******* ****! HLJ has the 400% Luke and Han Stormtroopers listed for pre-order!  :o   :o

Early bird special for both: 7,238 yen. Approx $62.18 US each.

Preorder this item by Nov. 9 to get it for 5% off the regular price of 7,619 yen!

400% Kubrick Stormtrooper: Luke Skywalker  (http://www.hlj.com/product/BLDX-01)

I sure would like to know who the hell Han Soro is!  ;D

This is it gang, looks like the only ticket to get it here in North America thus far. Place those orders and the best of luck with ya.  ;)

Last weekend, I went to a local comic/toy show and Boba Fett himself, Mr. Jeremy Bulloch happened to be there. I knew about this for a few weeks prior and debated on what I want to get signed then it hit me, the 400% Boba Kub. Well I hauled this huge thing down there and got in line. When he saw it, his eyes lit up. Turns out he was just given both versions, BxH and ESB as a gift from Lucasfilm. We talked for a few minutes and he gladly signed it for me. Hands down, the nicest celebrity i've ever met... David Prowse (Darth Vader) was supposed to be there but had to cancel. Which is a good thing for me as I now want him to sign the 400% Vader when I get it. I think i've found a new hobby within the Kub hobby...

Very nice Madcow.  8)

For those who ordered the 400% Vader (http://www.hlj.com/product/BLD30071) at HLJ, I noticed that they put an "Order Stop" on him. 

Quote
This is a new item that has not yet been released by the manufacturer. We have already taken all the orders we expect to be able to fill. No further orders will be accepted until supplies are confirmed when the product is released.

In some cases, even prior to release, our suppliers inform us that the amount of a new product we can buy may be limited. If we take as many orders for something as we can reasonably expect to fill, we will place that item in this "order stop" status until we can confirm how many pieces will be available at the time of release. If we fill all pre-orders, and still have stock remaining, then the item will be put in regular, in-stock status and we'll begin accepting orders again.

I've been looking at the Kubrick collection, and was wondering who you guys would like to see in the 400% line. 
I settled on 2 that I thought would translate really well to the 400% size, Chewbacca and Bossk. Chewbacca is a great looking Kubrick, and Bossk may hands-down be the cutest assassin ever produced as a toy. Any other suggestions?

That's why you buy 2! Lol...
I think it is going to be affordable to buy 2 of these (If $80-100 is an affordable amount) seeings as there will be 4000 of these floating around. Far more than any other Kubrick Star Wars release we have seen so far. The price will stay relatively low I think.

With the 100% being 4 per case, and rising in secondary price about as fast as the stormtrooper (army builder), I wouldn't be surprised if this goes up a little. As much as we collectors dig Fett, many people who will only own one Star Wars kubrick will opt for Vader.  I ordered two, so I can either keep one in the box, have two on display, or if the holiday spirit hits me hard, my brother in law will get a wicked cool x-mas present.

Nope.
And, with the `05 going on clearance, not sure they will do another.
I hope so, maybe in lesser numbers.

I got mine in today. They came a week earlier than I expected which is not a bad thing. I think they look better than the 100%. For some reason the head seems to be more in proportion with the body.

i can't wait to see some of your pics of the 400% vader. i actually gave it some thought preordering him a few months back but ultimately chose not to. i figured that the SW kubricks are pricy enough (especially with series 7 around the corner) and i didn't want to start up another expensive collection (because i'd have to hunt the other pricy SW 400% kubricks such as Boba and the Luke/Han Stormtroopers).

Congrats Dale, Brent and Jeff.  My order from HLK shipped two days ago.

I just checked the mail and looked over at the door hoping for this or the Michael Jordan jersey that I ordered.  I don't know what I was hoping for...

The mail delivered by stealth I guess - one can only hope.

Can't wait to get this sucker as it looks great.  I don't like to harp on any negatives but I was hoping for a box similar to the Han and Luke 400% stormies or 400% Fett.  I guess it does not really matter to much as this puppy will promptly be opened up.

.......another 400% boba.  500 at the show, and a further 1507 through the website. This is all according to the wonderfestival catalogue.

 I think we all knew it was coming at some point. I'd have rathered something along the lines of a Rebo box set, but my wallet is smiling to itself. I've already got the last WF version so I can safely give this a miss. 8)

I still need a 400% Fett, so regardless of version, I'm happy to see a new glut of Ebay material coming on.  I don't particularly care which Fett version I end up, but I'm hoping my price can stay around $150 shipped.  I think Scott got his for about that much.

Didn't we see already see pics of a third RotJ colors Fett at some point?  We just didn't know where it would show up, right?

(goes off to dig in the 400% Thread) 


Ah, here we are - Remember this Fett from Parco last summer?

Thanks for the story on the ROTJ Fett coming guys, I guess I'll be snagging that one instead of the previously released versions as I only ever wanted one.  Any word/thoughts on where it will be released?  A general release would be fantastic to Robby/HLJ at the usual price around $70 or so.  


Here was the pic and the front page news story (http://www.jedidefender.com/newspro/fullnews.cgi?newsid1153983756,58098,) that Brent mentions in his post from back in the summer:

Which Fett is it though? Droids deco? pseudo-McQuarrie Deco?

It is the return of the jedi sculpt.

Thanks for posting the old post Jeff, I was too lazy to dig it out.  Nice to see it's that version.  I said I didn't care which, but I'd have been least keen on the Droids coloration, so this is nice to see. 

BTW, if anyone's looking for a 400% Vader, I have a spare.

Like Brent said, I'm not overly picky as to which version I get, but I'd be quite happy with the ROTJ one.

For comparison:

ROTJ version:

Hmmm, lets compare the Fetts.

If I recall correctly, blister won`t ship to the US.
However, all the blister "exclusives" have been offered elsewhere in the past.
(400% Han & Luke were exclusives I think, and a few others)

Correct, Blister does NOT ship to the USA.


However, all the blister "exclusives" have been offered elsewhere in the past.

As long as it is a Blister Direct exclusive (like the Stormie Han/Luke and Vader were) then they should offer it to other wholesalers like Robby and HLJ.   BUT, if it is a Blister Store exclusive, they will not offer it to other places.  It will only be available in their store like the GG Shadowtrooper bust they had last summer.

I can't really read the small print on that pic, but that does not look like the Blister Direct logo on there... 

(http://www.jedidefender.com/images/blisterdirect.jpg)

Hopefully one of our Japanese friends can get us some more info on this one...  :-\

400% 'ESB' Fett - 2005 pieces (W2005 WCC Exclusive)
400% Stormtrooper Han - 2000 pieces (Blister Direct Exclusive)
400% Stormtrooper Luke - 2000 pieces (Blister Direct Exclusive)
400% Darth Vader - 4000 pieces (Blister Direct Exclusive)

Post by: Morgbug on February 24, 2007, 02:01 PM
All right then, not as limited as the BHS or vintage Fett then. 

Interesting to see that information together there (yeah, I could find it on the checklist, but it's soooo far away) and see that Han/Luke are actually pretty limited but don't command much of a premium.  I want a Fett but can't get one for under $150 (for the ESB) or really not even close now and it's about the same numbers as Luke/Han that I can get on clearance.  Huh. 

BTW, that list needs updating, the BHS 400% isn't on it ::) ;)

I'd say go with Han since you're really getting 2 figures for the price of 1.  I have my Vader displayed with my "Stormtroopers" flanking him, but I could take their helmets off and display them as Han and Luke later.  :)

It is still exclusive to Blister, but now we know where/how they will sell it.  Blister.jp is hosting an in-store event/show (http://www.blister.jp/2nd/) at the end of March to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of their brick&mortar "World Characters Store" in Shibuya (area in Tokyo).

Click here for more pics! (http://www.blister.jp/2nd/index-txt2.html)

At this time, it will NOT be offered via Blister Direct, so that means that the chances of places like Robby or HLJ getting these is extremely low at this point. :(

See for me it's the opposite. Before I really started collecting Kubs, I fell in love with the 400% Batman at a Toy Store in NYC. From then on I was hooked on these in this scale. Don't get me wrong, I really like the regular Kubricks and still collect them but i've decided to just stick to basic issue pieces and stay away all from the chases/exclusives. The 400% are the exception for me and I don't feel as bad dropping $75-125 on them as I feel i'm getting more for my money...

I'd say that's a pretty reasonable price - with a little luck and good timing, you might be able to grab one for less than $100.

I'm much more interested in the Fett - methinks that will cost a hell of a lot more.
Title: Re: 400% Kubricks
Post by: Dan on March 8, 2007, 10:23 AM
With this being the 3rd Fett release, I would think it should hover around $100 for a while at least. I wouldn't wait too long, but there should be some decent deals out there. Unfortunately, shipping these bad boys is a chunk of change in and of itself.

Mine's bigger than hers and has a job, both helpful in this case.  And yeah, my friend has been downright amazing of late between Kubricks and Gentle Giant. 

And like Honorius, I'm bragging, though I should know better, but I wasn't expecting to see an email this morning with a picture of my new acquisition waiting to be shipped.  I know I didn't ask him to go to the show, so I was hoping he could hook up online with Blister.jp or something a little later on.  This was way, way sooner than expected so I had to mention it.  Saving $$ while spending $$.

You're too young Jesse, trust me.  That and you have poor taste in music.

My 400% Shadow Stormtrooper arrived today.  Tucked inside the box was his much smaller sibling, so it's a very black Kubrick day around here.  Timing was perfect to offset the disappointment of no series 8 announcement.

Sooooooo jealous. You need to post some pics there buddy... If I wasn't working on another 400% deal at the moment, i'd definitely pick the Shadowtrooper up. Maybe in a few weeks...

Title: Price Check on Boba - ROTJ
Post by: BrentS on November 4, 2007, 01:46 AM
I'm brand new to the Kubrick Scene... however, I've got a chance to get a 400% Boba Fett Kubrick - ROTJ version - (brand new) for $130 (including shipping). Is this a reasonable price on this item? I don't have a good sense of how much the 400% guys go for.

Post by: Morgbug on November 4, 2007, 02:16 AM
It's not bad at all really.  I got mine for about $112 plus shipping or so, same ballpark. 

LMK if you need a 400% Vader, I can beat that price for sure ;)

OK, so technically he's a Be@rbrick and not a Kubrick ;), but if any of the newer collectors are interested, I've got my 400% Wicket up for sale for $100 plus shipping. 

Check out pics here if interested: http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=16619.0

I picked up the 100% Imperial Bearbr@ick. I was happy to find someone just selling the regular version as i had to interest in the 400%. Now i just have to hope I run across the same like for the Ewoks Wicket.  :-\

What would it take for Medi to make a Yakface or Gamorrean 400%, or some other unexpected choice?

What's a good price for the Shadow Stormtrooper 400%? Where should I look..?

Still, I'd like to see Medicom take more risks with the 400% line.
