Instinctoy finally got the other chase in their cases. They are now referring to the R2-Q5 as a 1/96 figure. Hopefully this one doesn't end up at 20,000 yen like the other chase did...

The only thing that would have saved that R2 chase would have been if they made it with a clear dome. However, I'm sure it's just a two legged version of the three legged one we got in the TRU pack like Plasticlab said.
Unfortunately, you and I both know that is not going to happen
If I was smart, I'd cancel my Bo12 pre-order and just scarf up a set of 6 on the cheap.

I'm putting in my vote for the two worst SW chase releases to date. We already got a black astromech in one of the TRU boxed sets. Very disappointed by this

I saw an auction this morning no Yahoo Japan that showed the Lackey in the Imperial Dignitary box... Doesn't seem as though we will be getting our other Dignitary like we thought.

That chase is seriously weak. Not so sure about rushing to shell out big money for that one... Several releases ago, that would have been a good 4:12 figure to release. It's too bad that its now ending up as a 1/48 or 1/96 chsae.

Nice, I just watched TESB with my sons last week. If there was a way to switch the card artwork from what I'm sure will be from TPM to that of Cloud City, I'd be all over it.
I know it won't happen, but it would be cool if Medicom also include the drink tray and drinks as an accessory to the figure...

Not surprised at all by this considering we already got the vac metal C-3PO and the 400% TC-14. I really wish that Medicom would show some more originality though... I'm sure I'll pick this one up as I have with the other WF figures.

Well ****. Hedging my bets, I had also put in a bid on another Hoth Rebel. As luck (or lack thereof) would have it, I won that auction too. So needless to say, I now have two Hoth Rebel chases on their way. Anyone need one and willing to buy one of mine? Shoot me a PM and hopefully we can work something out.

Sorry to invade the thread, but I need to rant for a minute. Since the beginning of the year, DirectTV has been blacking out the Bulls games on Comcast Sports Net Chicago (one of my Regional Sports Networks along with Fox Sports North). So I called them a couple times and they couldn't explain to me why this was happening (I did see the games that were played between Christmas and New Years Day on CSN). The only thing they could say was that it must be a local blackout. Tonight I called one last time to get things straightened out because I really wanted to watch the game with my sons who have just started playing basketball. After about 45 minutes on the phone with them having to talk to several people, they informed me that the NBA is no longer allowing DirectTV to include the Bulls as one of my Regional sports teams. Therefore, I will no longer get any Bulls game on CSN Chicago, but I will continue to still get the Blackhawks, White Sox and Cubs games that are played on CSN because those are still included as one of my regional teams. Oh, and because I'm getting FSN, I still get Brewers, Bucks and Wild games. So basically, I'm getting every team that plays in the tri-state area with the exception of the Bulls because the pricks in the NBA think it's better to make their fans buy League Pass than broadcast regional games. Great way to keep your fan base during a year where you are already suffering with your image NBA.
Again, my apologies for the rant, now back to your regularly scheduled discussion...

I'm still waiting for the final invoice, but the auction ended at $144. I'm guessing another $25 for fees and shipping when it's all said and done.

My favorite was the 'blow to the head' that never actually happened.

Got restless waiting around for DX4 so I pulled the trigger on a DX2 Rebel Trooper via Yahoo Japan. Glad to have another one of the chases out of the way...
