Hey,

I picked up the following chases:

S5 - Blue Snaggletooth, Walrusman; and
S6 - Tarkin, Veers.

Was delighted with the prices, particularly for Veers.

Wow, nice grabs.  I think you got deals on Veers and Snaggle and fair prices on Tarkin and Walrusman.  That's a big wad of cash to drop all at once though - you must be over the $450 mark for these 4.   :o

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today

I'm glad you guys were able to score some nice kubs last night.

Though it pains me to have to sell much of my top shelf goodies, every penny has helped to bring our new store, Super7 Florida, to life on August 29th.

Many here may recognize the S7 name by the magazine, books, toys, and artwork we produce along with being the official sponsor of the popular Skullbrain.org message board.

But we are also the guys producing the new Jumbo Machinder Stormtrooper (complete with rocket firing fist) in collaboration with Lucasarts and Kotobukiya of Japan.

It was tough keeping the news under wraps for so long, but those of you who are interested can read more about the new store opening on the 2nd page of Vinylpulse's SDCC coverage on its website.  CollectionDX also has a nice little write-up about yesterday's comic con unveiling of the new Jumbo Stormtrooper at the Kotobukiya booth.

I still have my very best, top shelf Star Wars kubricks safe and sound in my room, but lately it's been like an episode of survivor whenever a new bill arrives in the mail.

I bought an extra Series 4 Emperor figure so I can display it with the force lightning attached instead of the cane.  Anyone else have an extra set of force lightning they aren't using?  I'd still like to have another set.  Send me a PM if you do.  Thanks.

Just snagged the L-Slot Boba Fett chase off of Ningyoushi along with an extra Palpatine and Qui-Gon.

Just got my J-Slot Fett in the mail from Stealthtank's auctions. If you don't mind me asking I am Sith, how much was ningyoushi charging for the L-Slot. I had been looking everday to see if they would get a J-Slot one before I won the auction.

My Watchmen individual boxed collection came today (didn't bother with the chase) they're very nice except for Silk Spectre II who looks like a man ( A failing on many kubricks IMO as they don't bother to shape or mould them in a more feminine way).

Okay, so who was up early with me bidding on Tarkin and Veers?  Dissapointed that I didn't get Veers, but I did land Tarkin.   ;)

I nearly bid on veers but with no real picture and it not being in a bag made me wonder about its condition. Based on the final price I'd say it made others wonder too.

Yeah, I guess I'll just remain hopefull that his description was accurate.  He says 100% excellent condition, so if that's not the case we will have a problem.   :-\

Well, I'm going to have to pick up a second job.  I just landed an Early Bird set for $79 and the Rebo Band set for $140.  Hoping these were good deals - I couldn't let them pass by at those prices.  They're from the same seller, so hopefully it will be $17 combined shipping.   :-\

Thanks!  I had been watching the EB set for a while and was going to try for around $105, so pretty surprised to see it fall to $80. What does the REbo set normally sell for?  I've not seen it lower than $200.

Got my silver kubrick vader today. Very glad to see how nice the condition was. It came in one of the sealed bags as well, but that didn't last long  ;D
