Monkey Man from EE... the pic also shows off those "bonus artifacts" that the packaging shots had mentioned.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2008 Wave 2 - The Force Unleashed

They're wearing pants... perv. 
On another note, that pic really shows off how disappointing it is that Shan and Juno have basically the exact same head.

I have had some success at fixing that problem by tying the legs up with the little clear bands that come on the Hasbro figures.
Just save one the next time you get a basic figure and wrap it around the legs for a little while and see if that helps.

Just a note that Kubrick Box Sets like this one are often either convention exclusive or Medicom Collector Club exclusives.
As such, the box sets are usually not available from standard retail sources making group buys much more difficult to put together.

« on: November 27, 2007, 03:39 PM »Hey Jeff put me down for a master case please. When do we pay?
I do not charge anything until they ship, because anything can happen between now and then and I don't want to deal with refunds and junk like that.
How much does a Master Case come up (taxes, customs, etc). Are we looking in the $300, $325, or $350 ballpark (or more).
I cannot say for certain since there are too many variables (exchange rate, shipping, bank fees, taxes, customs, etc). The price is set once they ship from Japan as that is when I will be charged by Robby. Only then will I know the exact echange rate, shipping cost, bank fees, taxes/customs, and all that jazz...

The Legacy Collection / Re: More from The Force Unleashed?
« on: November 27, 2007, 01:06 PM »I guess the 501st Stormtrooper was a way to test the waters - it was only a logo they added, but it's a slippery slope...
501st Fan Legion markings...
"Shadow" Troopers...
Marvel "Blue Crud" highlights...
The writing has been on the wall for quite a while now.
The rumors say that there are different color Stormies for each planet in the game, so expect to see more... like a 3.75" version of this one too:

Kubricks / Re: Series 8
« on: November 27, 2007, 11:57 AM »Hey Jeff, is Robby giving you any case ratios yet?
No. Typically, that info is not known until they start shipping from Medicom.
Also, I would take any chase info with a huge grain of salt at the moment. Medicom is VERY stingey with that info and only once can I remember us knowing the chases before they shipped (Series 6, thanks to a leak via Star Wars Insider mag).
I'm new here but I'd be interested in buying a case of 12 out or the Mega order.
Please put me down for 1 Master Case if possible.
I have added both of you (and a few other folks) to the order...

« on: November 27, 2007, 10:42 AM »Robby.jp has listed Series 8! Item # 10083875 for those that are ordering from the Japanese wholesaler. Booking deadline is December 3rd.
Excellent.
Robby is saying (and charging for) 12 figures per box, so I guess that goes against the earlier info that Yakface forums guy had:
Robby.jp price ~ $70 per box plus the shipping/fees/taxes/customs/etc.
That price is in-line with Series 4/5/6/7 from Robby. So, unless series 8 is magically 50% cheaper than the previous ones, they are indeed 12 figures per box and 4 boxes per master case.

Well of the Souls / Disney Indiana Jones 7\\\\\\\\
« on: November 27, 2007, 10:24 AM »
Well, considering this is a special figure for Disney's Indy Stunt Show thingy, maybe it does resemble Indy... just not the one you are thinking. Reminds me a lot of that 5" scale Indy that they did at Disney a few years ago for the stunt show. It looked like Indy, but didn't look like Harrison Ford.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC Star Wars Comic Packs
« on: November 24, 2007, 08:49 PM »Which Mandalorians are you referring to?
Fenn Shysa and Tabbi Dala are both Mandalorians. Those last two packs (Dengar/Fenn, Leia/Tabbi) are most likely from the Marvel Comics:
I'm expecting Dengar and Leia (Hoth) repaints along with repaints of the sculpts from the EE sets for Fenn and Tabbi...

« on: November 21, 2007, 02:47 PM »
Man... I could just copy & paste most of last year's post (again) and it would be pretty close to my plan for 2008.
Star Wars
1x of each of the NEW basic figures, with the occasional Legends repaints if they are "new" enough for me to consider improved. One of each NEW vehicle/beast sculpt, no vehicle/beast repaints (unless, once again, they are "new" enough for me to consider improved, like the TRU Dagobah X-Wing set). I'll probably grab a most of the Comic or Battle Pack thingies too, but certainly not all of them. I'll also probably continue to pick up some (but not all) of the Galactic Hero 2-packs for the boys.
No Unleashed, no Master Replicas, no Gentle Giant busts or Bust-Ups, no Code 3 vehicles, no 12" stuff, no Sideshow Statues, no Attakus statues, no Kotobukaiya statues/models, no Die Cast vehicles, no Micro-Machine vehicles, no Action Fleet vehicles, no Jedi Force figures, no SW board games, no Wookiee super-soakers, no more WotC minatures, no Hallmark ornaments, no posters, no replica helmets, no Attacktix figures, no SW plush "buddies", no SW Choppers, no Mini-Unleashed, etc etc etc.
Kubricks
I'll pick up pretty much everything Medicom throws at me related to Star Wars as well as hoping for some more Batman/DC Kubricks (villians and major characters such as Gordon, Alfred or NW).
DC Direct
The 3rd GL wave, I'm all over that. Also any additional GL figures, like new 12" or Mini-mates.
Mattel DC Superheroes
Hal and Sinestro from the new line (wave 3?), if they are worth it. They need to be better/different from the DCD stuff I have (like more articulation), otherwise I'll pass.
That's about it I guess... I am constantly tempted by Indy, BSG, GI Joe, etc, but I hope to stay strong and stick to just this stuff listed.
