It's probably wishful thinking on my part and you're most likely right.

Re-reading the instinct toy blog post (translated to English) it sounds like for DX4 instinctoys only got one master case this time round. The set of sixes, background and spares went up on the store and the chase went up on yahoo auctions.

If they only got one master case it would be hard to differentiate between a 1/48 or 1/96 chase.

I also find it curious that the ratios of the basic kubricks has not yet been listed.

This ebay auction is using the images from instinctoys blog so it could be surmised the 1/48 info has also been lifted from there.

So if indeed this is misinformation how is this corrected? Does any individual get master cases anymore let alone multiples?

Bespin and Endor next. Where and where do they usually release the new updates for the next 2 series?

The next Medicom Toy Exhibition around July/August is you're best bet, but even then it will just be a preview not an announcement of when they'll actually arrive.

Nah, don't be concerned. It's been that way for months.

HLJ has a set number of pre-orders and once that allocation is sold out they put up that order stop. Pretty standard for them, it's just that SW stuff attracts more demand.

I was also watching the carded Indy but, lucky for you I Am Sith, decided not to bid. You could have paid more. Now that's two you owe me 

But it's nice to see someone here win them and also get a great deal.

Regarding the carded Indy this one with a watch popped up in the UK a few days before the one I Am Sith won so it didn't sell because I'm sure the cheaper one got the more attention. But I was surprised to see two pop up with in a week when normally they're so rarely seen.

How much did you end up paying? I have one i need to unload.

Adrian, I sent you a PM regarding this a couple of days ago. I'm just making you aware of this in case you missed it.

I paid €60 shipped. It was just for the book though. The slipcase and the three little be@rbricks weren't included. I was happy with the price as it seems to be a difficult enough item to come by.

Just to rub salt into the wounds; two or three weeks back there was one on yahoo auctions like yours, no sleeve or be@rbricks, just the book and it went for 500 yen. Yes 500 I didn't forget a zero. I put a bid on using Celga but they f**ked it up and didn't bid the right amount. I wasn't a happy camper.
