Well I am not crazy about the box set, but my problem is that I wish we were getting a more cartoon version of Wicket instead of that one. They could have given us Paploo or soemthing instead.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone.   :)

I haven't been around in a while, and see that series 5 is very near.  I have been dragging my feet on pre-ordering them and still have yet to place an order.  I just shot off an email to Toys Chameleon asking what shipping would be for a master case.  They are about 600 yen cheaper per box of 12 than Spanky, so it seems Spanky will not get my order for series 5.

Hey Padawan, welcome back.


I just want to forwarn everyone that if there isn't a blue snag for the chase, I am going to be one seriously whiney bitch for days on end.  Yes, I know that's not really dramatically different, but you still needed to know.

I think we'll all be whiney bitches if there isn't a blue snag chase. 

How would we tell the difference with you Brent?  :P

I think there will be a Blue Snag but it's going to be some absurd ratio like 1/96 or 1/192 .  Let's hope not but Medicom has to make a Blue Snag and the ratios aren't looking good.

I'm amazed nothing has leaked out yet though.  I can't believe we'll have these en route before something shows on ebay, or even be close.

I've been searching eBay tonight, nothing of interest yet.  :-\

Yeah, me too. The only thing I found so far is auctions for the series and no pic's yet, just stock pic's.

I'm really hoping for a Blue Snaggy for a chase, will make an awesome nod to the vinty line as Medicom does from time to time.  :)

For those who asked about the shipping cost, bear in mind this is to Canada:

5400 Yen = $48.25 US or $58.15 CDN. Total cost is 40968 Yen for $365.48 US or $441.20 CDN at todays rate.

The above quote was for Series 4 from HLJ. Shipping, Master Case was cheaper and the total looks way better. At todays rate I would say a total saving of $85.48 US or $113.20 CDN there abouts.  :o

Now I have to wait on the customs fees, I'm guessing around $28.00 CDN.  :-\

Hmmm, $85.00 CDN saved in total, not too shabby.  8)

Guess I should wait for the final bill eh!  ;)

Exactly.  Hopefully by tomorrow or Saturday we'll know what chases to expect.  I'm even more excited than the last series!

Wow!  Sure makes a huge difference when the Canadian dollar is kicking ass.  Look out world!   :P
