Yes, agreed on the chases not being in 1:12, that is a bonus. I can't find this on ncsx, can someone provide a link?

« on: August 25, 2010, 09:48 PM »i know no one has this set yet, but does anyone know if there are any differences from the chase figures? I woory if they keep rereleasing chase figures then it will bring down the value of some of the chases.
They appear spot on the same.

My S4 Hoth Solo and Stormie had head issues, and my chase looks just like your Luke. It looks pretty real to me. At least the paint job is nice, my (original) S2 Han looked like a bird **** on his head...but it swiveled just fine

I am no longer miffed by the "re-released" figures w/ new vinyl capes if they are all as cool as Kenobi.

If that happens, hopefully his bowcaster is a new mold. Of all the excellent blaster molds, the bowcaster really looks silly.

« on: August 6, 2010, 10:31 AM »I don't buy this reasoning.
I think that the chases/unique figures are the thing that keeps this line going. If they continue to release weak chases (ala DX1's Boba Fett) fewer people will purchase Master Cases which means reduced sales which could be bad for the longevity of the line.
I'm not holding out much hope for the chases for DX2 at this stage though...
By comparison, the weak chases (DX1) are right up there with the weak selection of basic characters for DX1-DX4. The majority of the basic 6 for all the DX series have become repaints, tweaked repacks, or vinyl capes versions. If DX2 chases are battle-damaged Luke and blue star Snowtrooper, I'm skipping a box of 12 again. If DX2 chases are AT-ST Driver and Rebel Trooper, I'm spending some cash.

« on: August 5, 2010, 08:51 PM »And how did Johnny Depp get involved in this. What? Are you drunk-posting?
I think what Tiny was getting at is that Medicom's love for BF is only rivaled by their love of Johnny Depp (in terms of the number of Kubrick releases there have been of both). So it wouldn't be surprising if they melded the two and we got ourselves a JD SW figure at some point...
Yes, that is what I was saying, but somewhat joking that Johnny Depp might show up in a stormy costume. I like repaint/repack chases that aren't "character" critical (Yak Face, Logray), so DX1 is a blessing that for less than $100 anyone can get the basic 6 + Jabba. If regular Bib was actually a 1:96 in this set, lots of folks would be sad.

« on: August 4, 2010, 09:07 PM »Given the Bib, I think a Battle Damaged Luke is still a good possibility. Since neither S1 Chase was all new, I'm less hopeful about the Rebel Soldier, but maybe Veers in Armor is more likely...Can't wait to find out!
I prefer this. Variants of the basic figure or repeat chase figures is actually a blessing in disguise -- if you are not a completlist. What if it's Johnny Depp as a stormtrooper? Between Fett and Depp, they have the most Kubrick releases.

Yeah, Dengar was barely in a scene, most likely obscured by the fat chick w/ all the knockers.

Probe droid is such a bizarre choice.

« on: July 23, 2010, 11:19 PM »I'll let someone else fill in the details but in summery.
DC 75th anniversary is going to be done via a series of 2packs
Tron will have a 2pack (a repack of 2 kubs from the 4 boxsets) and Tron Legacy will have two kubrick/bearbrick 2-packs also.
BTAS: Batman + Robin ... best pack, the Batman deco is much better than the S1 version and Robin is cool
DK: DK Batman + Joker bank robber ... Joker is okay.
Batman 89 (new logo) and Superman Returns as a repack ... meh

Well, now they're just giving him away.

Seems like this release lowered the asking price for chase S7. I've seen a few start and end under $100 on ebay, so I'm tempted but holding out. They are both awesome, even w/ the small variances.
