So, I'm thinking about going into Cyberspace hiding. Like not looking at any Kubrick boards or ebay or anything until after I have busted open my master case and find the chases.
Series 6 seemed odd that the chases leaked, and it doesn't look like that is happening with 7. I'm thinking I better go into seclusion soon to be safe-

Is this nuts, or does it sound like fun to anyone else?

If that's nut then I'm just as much a loon as you are.
It would be great to be in Japan and be able to open a case and be one of the first to know what the Chases are.
I guess the only other option is to do what you are thinking, but I just can't stay away!

Crazy.

I think you have to be under 10 to work in Medicom, Hasbro, or Kathy Lee Gifford factories.  ;)

Ain't no way I could aford it all, but I'd like to see the 400% Boba at a decent price and a Jaba set.
The price really dictates what I can buy, 400% Vader was great!
I'd love to have  Jorg, but its way out of my range at the moment.

your right. i just wanted to throw the idea out there fully knowing there would be alot of resistance against that. hell, i own a imperial officer and i fully know that any kind of releases would kill the value. the main problem at least for me was how hard it was to get into the line initially as a brand new collector with the end of series 4 and into series 5. now imagining getting into a SW line without some of the main characters like chewy and r2d2. i'm not talking about background characters...i'm talking about main characters itself. it was interesting to see the replies though....i was beginning to think that this thread was slowly drifting off a bit....

To me, its not about the value, there is just something cool about these.
I would collect them regardless of HTF Chase figures etc.
That being said, the fact that they are unique and from Japan plays into my collecting as well, its like someone posted, anyone can put together a Clone army, I'd like to have something unique.
I agree that it would be nice to find some stuf without having to pay huge amounts or search forever, but the day that happens this line will be dead.
The Japanese would just loose interest.
Heck, they loose interest anyhow in things without them changing at all according to some Japnese friends of mine.
They have a different mind set when it comes to collecting.

I'm happy with the way these things work as long as they keep the line going.

I hate to say it...but why doesn't Kubrick rerelease some of their figures...especially army builders.

You have to remember that these are marketed for the Japanese market.
They are a different breed than anywhere else, especially here in the US.
I know one die-hard Star Wars collector that won't even talk to me anymore because of Kubricks...its a long story, but it essentially gets down to the fact that he could never grasp how people in Japan collect these types of things.
In his mind I had to be holding something back, he just could not put his brain around it.
Myself, I'm used to the way Bricks work, so none of this stuff bothers me, I'm happy with what I get and I don't complain.
Heck, we aren't even supposed to get the things here in the US!

Re-release and masive amounts are just not how the Japanese or Medicom see Kubricks, they would not be what they are if that happened, unless they market them for the US only...which I doubt will happen because the market is already flooded with Star Wars stuff.

Gonna need some deep pockets on these.  Rven if price is not an issue, it then becomes a matter of even finding them.

A couple of months ago I got it in my head that I wanted 12 of each army builder type figure. 

Series 2

Sandtrooper - white pauldron - need 6
Tusken Raider - need 12

Series 3
AT-AT Driver - need 12

I have 6 of them. I got a few of bikeridertony for a good price.
Other than Titaniums and RAH, I don`t buy much SW, so I like to army build a bit  ;D

I have one now.  The only stuff I'm going to keep more than one of will be Imperials, mosty Stormies!  I hope they make a Snowtrooper.
I've realized that I will never keep up or be able to have all of these at the prices they go for, so I'm going to limit myself. (for example, I have the 400% Luke and Han Stormies so I sold the 100%, might pick up another to put the Helmet on though and have me a 400 Stormie!)
As far as non Star wars, I'll only need one of the Chase Alien Figures, thanks to Sith I will have all of Series two now.
I'd like to get an Old B.O.B. from The Black Hole and maybe a few strays here and there.
Like Sith I don't buy much of anything else, some of the Titaniums are great so I get those from time to time.
Mini Mates are making Battlestar Galactica Figures, so i may have to get those as well!
Its always something...

Well... What have I done.

Just ordered boxes of Series 5 6 and 7... I'm crazy, I cant believe I've done it. Once they arrive, I'll re-evaluate and see if Im still into them. If I like em, I'll have trade fodder...

I hear ya.
My better half is still bitter that I sold my GG Bust, but I had to make a choice, Bricks and little of everything else.
I have 99% bricks now and I intend to keep it that way...although that Galactic Marine that Hasbro has on the way looks very cool, would look great next to a Vintage Snowtrooper.

My better half is very cool with my geekness, not many girls that would see a display case and think, "Wow, this is perfect for Joe's Kubricks."

Hemish,

Nice job...on the handy work and thanks for sharing the pictures.

I thought I'd share that Iv'e really been considering selling my Kuby collection, I go back and forth monthly.  I could use the money to pay for other interested like my HD DVD player that I recently bought and some HD DVD movies.

I've always been like that - sell something to pay for part of a new excess item.  It helps me justify my purchase.  So far I sold some of my dvd's and got about $125 towards the new HD DVD player.

So I approached my wife about selling the Kuby's tonight and she really could not support me on that one.  So she offered to pay for the 1/2 of the next series and the other 1/2 will be my holiday present.  My wife is way cool in so many more real reasons but I thought I'd share this with my fellow Kuby collectors.

So when does the next series come out...and the speeder bike... :D???

Your wife is part of the darkside you must resist.  The force is strong in you.

You will become a might Kubrickholic one day.

These things are evil, Sith is the one that started in on me.
Boxes of 12, then the next thing you know its case after case of each series.
Bastard.
