Hey, hey, hey. It's nilito.  8)

Welcome to JD and the biggest talk of SW Kuby's on the block, glad you made it over here. Another fine Canadian if I remember.  ;)

I sure hope your Logray chase is the real deal, too many bloody fakes floating around.  :-\

Anyhoo, I see that you have made yourself at home and you are catching up on things. Have a blast.  :)

Like I said, I haven't got mine yet.  But just to be ready, do you guys know any surefire ways to know if it's a Faker?  Any photo comparisons?

yujun said he had a fake Logray and I posted pics of his back in April. It goes for a couple of pages.

I recall the fake Logray discussion about yujun's figure, but don't remember anything conclusive coming out of it, which means I still haven't heard of anyone getting caught faking a Star Wars Kubrick yet.

Obviously, seeing pictures ahead of time will always be the best way to go, so you can closely inspect the bag, the seams of the bag, and the contents of course.  Anyway, I'm not going to lose much sleep over stressing over potential Han Stormie fakes just yet...

Yeah, I saw those posts from a few pages back (thanks, DSJ).  There really didn't seem to be anything to make it easier other than seeing if the baggie is tampered with or not authentic.  I'll wait until this week when it comes in.  Thanks, Kub-buds.  :)

Now, about those series 4 'bricks, there haven't been any popping up on eBay yet.  So far, it's the same guy posting 3 sets without any chases.  I can't wait for them to finally be here.  And this time, I'm not waiting so long to get all the chases.  Not giving them a chance for the Fakers to be made.

So it appears that Luke as Darth Vader to be the 1:48 and the Han Solo Stormtrooper to be the 3:48?  This makes sense can anyone confirm this?
I really hope that's the case.  Don't really like the Luke/Vader, but I would love to get the han stormie.

Hopefully tanyujun can chime in here, haven`t seen him online in awhile.
He got his money back for the Logray and never heard from the seller
again. But from what he says, it was a fake for sure. If I see him
online I`ll point him over here to clarify.

Hey there, juaan.  It's so cool how we've all sorta gravitated to this place.  It's great to find a common ground for us nuts who seem to dig the heck out of Star Wars AND Kubricks.
:)

PS.  How much longer do you guys think it'll be before we've all got a hot little Darth Vader Kubrick in our hands?  Mine're gettin' itchy.  LOL

yoz! hee.. sorry.. was away in australia goldcoast..  :)

mm.. regarding the logray.. i didnt give him any negative feedback cause he refunded my money....

i realised it was a fake cause of the legs.. normal ones has ball joints while the fake ones dun.. so when u move one side, the other will move too...

and the paint job.. its quite hard to tell though unless u compare the real and the fake one..

one more thing, notice the seller, madsontoys... they keep listing lograys.. ever wondered why they have so many of them??

And none of them have boxes, right?
You`d think they would at least buy a bunch of wicket and use his box
