Kubricks / Re: Deluxe Series 3 - Tatooine

Thanks to Justin I now have my hands on these, and I am turning in to a complete fan of the vintagy vibe Medicom is putting together. My series 2 tuskens can hang out with the Hasbro Bantha, and the new one can go in a more vintage display setting. I'm looking forward to series 4 even more now, so that Vader and Leia can get their vinyl goodness alongside Obi Wan and the raider. I hope they do a Jawa up that fits in to the scheme.

I'm bummed the DX series are so expensive for boxes, and I have virtually no desire to get into the chase chase. I would gladly give up the vehicles to get back to a more reasonable ($100-125) chase price. $:-\$

I did an ebay search for carded kubrick acrylic cases, but came up empty. Does anyone know if Oscar still make these?

Despite my earlier griping, I decided to get this from BBTS too. At $40, it looks like a steal compared to DX chases. Now I have to decide if I want to track down the shiny C-3PO as well $:-\$ .

The horizontal hash marks on his body are painted silver, where they were left white on the 2-pack version. The early bird version has them painted gray rather than silver (along with the other areas).

4 Owen's, 1 currently marked as a Ben... as for full 9 figure set's, 6 set's bin'd... Hammerhead, nada on the bay thus far... very sad...

Definately a let down for DX chase availability. Kudos to you for going for the full set of 9 early-

I'm curious what companies like NCS or HLJ do with their inserts, as I imagine the majority of their sales were for individual boxes.

Funny you should ask because I sent NCS a question about that a few weeks ago. They responded that they give them to buyers who ordered two boxes or more.

I'll have to keep my eyes open for a bay listing that doesn't break the bank.

That's what they had told me with DX1 and 2 as well, but I don't remember seeing anyone saying they received one. For 1 and 2 our group was still getting mastercases, so someone ended up with a chase, and a second person got the background. that left 2 out of luck, which I think killed our big group purchases $:-\$

I haven't been able to find any auctions for him alone- the sets of all 8 figures were going for $500-$650 I believe.

The 2 per box ratio has some benifits, but some drawbacks as well. Nice that you can build two landspeeders if you buy a box, but who needs two landspeeders? Nice that there isn't 1 or 2 that are singles in a box of 12, but not having extras of the sandtroopers or raiders is a bit of a let down.
