think theyre going to regret that later...

cant see them going for much over double their original price if that.

Now wicket's coming out Im thinking that medicom will definately release the last chase Bobba now. I'm sure that's him at the end of the bookcase...   looks different to the others.  guess time will tell

I could be wrong but... check out the bobba to the far right. looks alot like the 2nd chase toy. two red forearms, bluey hands,   could it be the 3rd 400% boba?

Nice set up!  I like the use of that vinty Dagobah playset.   ;)

You wait to see how many VCD Stormtroopers he has!! I think he tried to buy all 500 that were released from the WCC festival. ::)

I'm glad someone at the WCC was smart enough to realize that would be a tad unfair.   ::)

did they stop him?  they really need to enforce a 1 visitor 1 toy rule at these shows.... seems that you can only buy one at a time, but line up as many time as you want.  I hope to pick something up at wonderfestival06, but with the dealers its difficult.   

snag prices are dropping on yahoo auctions, last 3 auctions finished at less than 7500yen.   the last walrusman finished at 13000yen!!!!!  glad I got mine cheap and early.

Alot of people here are general star wars collectors arent they? when lines of 'rare'  toys finish do prices generally stay high or drop? I still think prices are artificially high, but I want those chase figures. :-\

ive been really lucky with these chases...

picked up walrusman for 50 dollars at an online store, then today went to akihabara looking for the other 2 chases....

something weird happened . the shop had a box of open lukes, gunneres etc, so I figured he'd searched through and taken out the chases. So I ask him if he has them and he said "NO". I asked him if he had found them and he asked me how much Id pay for one :-\. before I had a chance to reply he blurted out "2000yen!". then he picks up a cases and starts opening all the gunners in front of me! he says thats where they are! he opened them al!!! and then apologised for not having one. I suggested we start on the snaggies next, worked our way through them then started on the Lukes.  Bingo! han solo in trench coat! he says "2000yen again, but I find the second han. realising they werent as rare as he thought he suddenly drops the price to 1000yen!  of course I took them both.

it turns out he found the walrusman earlier and had flogged it for the 2000yen.

I now know the joys of ripping my way through 3 boxes of a master case, and didnt have to pay a penny until I found the chases!

Christ, I hope he really was the shopkeeper....

Anyway,  thats my quota of luck for the month used up!

these chase figures are just too good. and will be tooo expensive. I cannot believe I'm even entertaining the thoughts of buying all three. but somewhere in my brain I already know its inevitable...

it used to be a bit of fun buying the odd figure. then the odd figure wasnt enough... a whitesand trooper from the local shop here, a toys r us set there- I didnt think it was a problem... The regular sets became everyday, I could still appreciate them but they looked so normal without the bright chase figures. then the 400% bobba.  just one, I thought...    it's okay....  I doesnt mean I have to buy every 400% they make... but then I found I did..

but its fine... I can handle it.   ;D
