I'm not sure if I've seen a picture of a complete collection on here or not, but here's mine. Well at least until Series 3 comes out any day now.



Adam might find a few of those familiar.

Ooooooh.  Pretty.  Maybe I should try to grab one of those Luke or R2 for my growing collection...

Wait.  Too expensive.  Other stuff I can buy with the $$$... or should I... no.

OK, Note to self:
I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not...

I don't think it's working... :-\

Try this Jeff:

Win a carded Kubrick on ebay at a decent price.  Enter into months long discussions with buffoon that presold it and can't follow through.  Find out friends too are having same difficulties.  Send money to buffoon with expectation of something in return.  File complaint with paypal and get 90% of your money back, knowing buffoon has remainder and still sells on ebay. 

Works like a charm for curing the carded Kubrick lust.  Trust me.

Man, that's a beautiful picture there Simon!  I've been waiting for someone to post a shot of EVERYTHING all together like that.  Nicely done...   8)

Isn't the carded Boba the same as the one of the Series 1 chase Fetts? Looks the same to me. Matt's mission would be done in that case.

Nope, I still need the carded Fett.  Basically, I like to have all figures both carded and loose.  So in the case of the first carded Fett, I already have it loose, since it was available as a Chase figure in Series 1.  So the loose one's already taken care of, but then I need the carded one that came out afterwards.

Conversely, the Sandtrooper and Droids carded figures were never available "loose" before, and they're "new"/unique figures, so I'd like to pick them up twice - once to keep carded, and another one to open, so I can still have a "complete" loose collection.  I'm contemplating going so far as to wanting to do the same with the Speeder Bike set and the upcoming TRU boxset too.  Keep one in sealed in the pretty window box, and open one set of each up.

Of course, the obvious problem here is cost.  Especially on those carded suckers!  So for the meantime, my top priority is going for the carded versions (and boxed) to keep sealed, and if later on I find a good deal on another of any of them to open, then I'll go for that for my loose set.

Make sense?   :P

Simon, what's behind the loose bounty hunters?

I can make out what appears to be the logo and saber from a card, but it looks like it has been trimmed.

I think that's just the cut off "lid" from one of the Bounty Hunter series cases...

Yeah its just the counter bob that I cut up. I keep them all from the boxes I open. They look pretty good behind the figures.

And those little plastic boxes for the individual Kubricks are are going to be a real curse. Because they've stopped making them, I might have to start transplanting some of the Marvel ones I have for the next Star Wars series. I only bought about 40 or so. i hope they release them again sometime down the track.
