Early Bird set, vintage styled Boba Fett, blonde and brown haired Luke, and now the "Droids" R2-D2.  Plus, Medicom was brilliant enough to start off their regular series with the awesome complete Bounty Hunter set!  Pretty much every Star Wars fan's most desired lineup of characters, and they nailed it right off the bat.

I totally agree.  I mean, as I said above, those two reasons (nod to vintage and the bounty hunters) are what got me interested.

My comment quite a while back, was that when it comes to Star Wars, Medicom just "gets it".  They understand it.  They know the history of the Saga, and it's collectibles, they know what the fans would like to see, and they know how to reel in us crazy completists with the likes of those VHTF Chase figures.  Then, they go and do something even more cool, and toss in an Indiana Jones figure into some of the Han Solo boxes.

Yep, I agree with that too.  It makes me excited for what is to come, as this is only the beginning that we have seen.  I am assuming that the line is doing fairly well due to the continuity.  If it is doing well in Japan as well, then there will be some seriously cool stuff coming our way, and I can't wait!  Does anyone know how the line is doing overall (ie not just US sales)?

So...?  Where's it at Adam?!?  Show us da' money, Mr. President!  You should put it in one giant complete Star Wars Kubrick group shot!  That'd be cool...

Super fast shipping from Ron there!   8)

Yup, tore it right open ;)

I'll try to take a pic later, I just dont feel up for doing much right now. A girl from the school I teach at, the sister of a friend of mine when I was younger, was killed tonight in a car wreck. I wont go into the details, but it was a bad one...

Yeah, me too Adam.  My condolences.  Takes the excitement out of receiving your big acquisition there, but of course it also give us a reality check and shows us what's more important in life at the same time...

Go relax, cuddle up with your carded Fett, and try to feel better soon bud...   :'(

My condolences as well Adam.  :'(

You should free Boba from his square plastic bubble of doom.  ;)  
Be free, be free!    

I just checked my order for my display cases. Not good.  :(

 Order Stop:

This is a new item that has not yet been released by the manufacturer. We have already taken more orders than we expect to be able to fill. No further orders will be accepted until supplies are confirmed when the product is released.

Out-of-stock items are displayed with squares (in-stock items with circles). Blue squares with a white X indicate items that have not yet been released, but for which we are no longer accepting orders because we expect supplies to be limited.

In some cases, even prior to release, our suppliers inform us that the amount of a new product we can buy may be limited. If we take more orders for something that we can reasonably expect to fill, we will place that item in this "order stop" status until we can confirm how many pieces will be available at the time of release. If we fill all pre-orders, and still have stock remaining, then the item will be put on regular, in-stock status and we'll begin accepting orders again.

Just have to wait & see.  :-\

Padawan - that was the same Cantina member that I got two of in my case.  Does anyone have a close-up picture of the other instruments that the band members came with?

Here you go Matt.



The one pictured by Padwan was only available in the cases from Japan. The other one came in the cases from Hong Kong.

With the one I have coming from Padwan, I will have a full set of 6 Cantina Band members. 3 of each instrument.  8)

Does anyone else have the neck strap thing put on their Cantina Band Member?  I was wondering if I had mine put on right?
