In Jeff's pic, he has one one the side of a MC & one on top of another MC on thr ight & maybe part of the sticker on the middle MC.

Yeah, those "fragile" red and white stickers were on all three of my packages, but I don't think they were covering up any open tape or anything.

Kuby fumes!    ;D

I have laid them out as the same set up as Jeff's, I am opening the 12 box from the bottom & all are sealed & intact.




I went for box #4 first, looking at the boxes from the top side.

Maul, Amidala, Aurra Sing
Anakin, Maul, Maul
3PO, Qui-Gon, Qui-Gon
Battle Droid,  Battle Droid, Battle Droid



Hot damn!

I hit box #3.

Jar Jar, Qui-Gon, Maul
Maul, Battle Droid, Battle Droid
Amidala, Anakin, Maul
3PO, 3PO, Qui-Gon



Thus far, the boxes are in the same set up as Jeff's.

Now that the 2 chases have been found right off the bat, I really see no reason to open the other 2 boxes as they should be just a normal assortment. I can't see them actually having any chase figures in them based on this assortment & the past MC's.

I will mention that the hot glue on these boxes are really strong this time around.

Aurra Sing

Congrats Dale!

So far that's 3 Aurra and No Saesee...  Where are you Saesee?!

Good deal Dale.  So both Jeff and your case seem to be packed the same way.

Its interesting (although probably not statistically significant) that there's been no SaeSee citing for the JD Kube Collectors.  It also seems like I've seen a bit more Aurra's on eBay too.   Oh well, I'm sure they will all even out eventually.

Open them open them!!  ;D

Seriously though why not open them? I know people have many reasons not to but what's yours?  :)

This is the cheapest BIN I've seen for Jar Jar thus far:

Yeah, I saw that one. Very reasonable shipping as well. But I'm convinced that once more of these get out there the prices will come down across the board.

By the way, I ordered my box of 12 from NCSX, but haven't heard anything from them yet. Any idea when they and other retailers might start shipping?

Another one of the Master Cases from my order was opened and it did indeed have a rare chase...

but I'll let the person who found it tell you what he got. ;)

First of all, thanks again to the dealer for the hook up (and he thanked me for getting him addicted again last week)

I couldn't wait to get home so I cracked these babies open in the TRU parking lot in front of Jeff and Dan



Anyway...same case set up as Jeff and Dale's and the Sing and Jar Jars were in the lower left corner of both boxes.

I also have spare Luke hair and wanted opinions what Li'l Annie looks like with a semi bowl cut



Off to find a horny Jedi Master :-*

He sort of looks more like a little girl with the hair and the collar like that...  :P

Yeah, I'd take his scarf off, the quandry I am in is that I don't really want to open the other one from my box since he is one per case :-\
