Kubricks / Re: Deluxe Series 2 - Hoth
« on: June 21, 2009, 02:49 PM »
I don't mind an AT-ST at all, I think it's pretty cool, but were there AT-ST's on Hoth? Or in ESB at all? Thought they were only in ROTJ. Not a big deal I suppose since they're already doing a Jabba with the ROTJ wave.
Would a Wampa be too small for a build-a-figure? I also vote for a landspeeder. Or a Bantha. =)
Also, that new Hoth Han looks like he has his goggles down. I think this is the difference between this new one and the old one, which has his goggle up.

Do you think sellers read these threads and see what we, the buyers, think the price will be, and then set their prices accordingly? Someone speculated about the Parco Vader as "going to go for at least $300", then one appeared on ebay for a BIN of exactly $300. They'd be silly not to do this, since we wouldn't be completely surprised by the starting price, that's what we guessed it to be, so we may be more likely to buy it at that price.
I cringe when I see people quoting high prices on items not yet released like this, partly for this reason. I do think this figure will be highly sought after, I'm going to try to find one and I don't yet own any 400%ers (but I have all currently released SW kubs, except for the Jawa chase), but do you think we may actually be hurting ourselves by telegraphing our expectations on price like this?
"I don't see this figure selling for more than $90 or so." (Let's see if this works... =)

If we get re-releases of these guys, I'd like to get a shiny C3PO like the new 400% one. Not sure we need another R2, but if so, how about a muddy swampy deco?

The R2 looks like he has sandy feet, as mentioned somewhere previously, but are there any noticeable differences on the C3PO? I suppose he could be sandy as well, but that'd be hard to telll.
Also, here's a pic I found that might be that white arm that's cutoff to the left:

I'm looking to get 2 extra Vaders, so if you have 'em, I'd gladly relieve some of your cost.

Yep, those are the ones. I know at one time I was responsible for one of their sellouts.
But then again, I really did need all of them...

One more to go. Tion's on the way from Japan, but here are the others. I like this series a lot more than I thought I would.

My conact in Hong Kong told me that he could get the Grievous chase, but for Tion Medon I'd have to get that one from Japan. Could these series 10 chases be regional, like the Cantina Band member variations were?

I like them all. My favorite keeps rotating among Charlie, Locke, and Sawyer. Ben is a lot better than I thought he'd be too.

« on: August 6, 2008, 10:20 AM »If Sir Real's card is banged up I have one I could swap with you. I bought an extra to open and both are in great shape card wise.
Sith- You may want to take Outcast up on this, since with him there'd be no waiting, and it's already a guarantee of a good card. As of today, my Shadow Guard still hasn't arrived, and I also don't know its condition yet. Of course I'm still willing to do the trade, but sounds like he's ready to go with his.

« on: August 5, 2008, 08:33 AM »Ta da!
DSJ-
Are those standard Kub/Bearbrick display cases you've got there? Looks like it, and if so, why does it appear that most/all your figures are off center? I have all this series also, and in my cases, they are perefctly centered by using the footpeg. Is this due to them holding the lightsabres, and they are all the way at the back wall of the case? Could be but if that were true, I think the pegs would be visible, but they aren't. did you remove them? Most noticeable is Amidala, who isn't even sitting flat on the floor of the case. Just wondering.
Anyway, congrats on obtaining all 9. I think the chases from this series are some of the best ever.
(BTW, Jango has two guns. Where's the other one? =)

Hey I Am Sith-
You bet, I'll trade ya. I have one coming in the mail as well, it should be here any day. I'm gonna open him up, so, assuming my card is tip top, no problem on the trade. I'll let you know when it gets here, and we can go from there.

« on: July 31, 2008, 09:41 AM »Pay in advance, pay fees! Is this covered by Paypal incase something goes wrong?
I don't know about PayPal guarantees, of course that would be a question to ask PayPal, but I've never thought about that. I do know that when I first started using foreign services such as this one (this is the second one I've used), I was also cautious/leery, and as such, I started small, one item, to see if it was successful or not. It was, and I've never had any problems with Masato's service, ever. I don't really like paying commission on top of the bid prices, but his time is worth something, including bidding, receiving, and re-shipping. And until I have a friend living over there willing to do this, it's the only way to get these items from Japanese sellers not willing to ship internationally, which is most of them.
