Most places are just selling the set of 6.

As for the box of 12, BBTS is sold out, HLJ is sold out! It's a popular series.

If you want, check out the stores here, there might be one in there: Kw Resources

There is also the possibility that when series was released,the pre-orders stopped at the online retailers so they can fill there orders. If there are extras, they shoud hopefully put them up. Some places my not have there orders in yet, just a guess.  :-\

Maybe someone here has a good contact that knows of someplace that might have a box.  :-\

How much did you pay for your box? Or if you got a case, how much per each box?

This just in from HLJ:

Quote
This message it to let you know that the following merchandise has been shipped to you from HobbyLink Japan.

Master Case is on the way! 

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.

A little searching goes a long way, it helps reading the past posts.  ;)

I know a lot of people don`t like to, but you gotta pre-order these guys
if you want a box of 12, the price goes 20-30 bucks after they come out.
I don`t know too many other things that go up that much after release.

I checked Spanky, Toys-Chameleon and ToyNK, all sold out right now.
eBay might be it for the moment. If you want just a set, I think Padiwan
might have one for sale still, someone backed out on him.

WTF! Do the heads swap on the SW 'unbreakable' range . . . I always thought they were fixed!

EDIT: OK  . . . just realised heads on same bodies, just hats and hair swaps . . .doh!

Why do they call them unbreakable? One of my Wicket's fell down and its legs broke off! I'll take a pic if anyone doesn't believe it...

So,

My Kubricks were delivered today via EMS (yes, they were delivered on a Sunday afternoon - weird!).

I ordered a Master Case (at a reasonable price) from one of my asian trading pals but instead of a master case, I recieved four boxes of 12... all of which were OPENED. 

He apologized and offered "Sorry I must have mis-understood what you wanted.  That's all I had to send you".   ::)

Serves me right for not getting my pre-order into RoBBy.jp or HLJ in time.  Anyway, I don't think we'll get any chases, because each of the boxes is laid out like Simon's non-chase box description:

BOX:
1. Vader
2. Vader
3. Vader
4. Stormtrooper
5. Stormtrooper
6. Vader
7. Stormtrooper
8. Stormtrooper
9. Emperor
10. Nien Nunb
11. Hoth Han
12. Bespin Luke


I was left with 2 choices - just keep them OR send them back and eat like $80-90 on the shipping cost (since I'd have to pay to ship them back and then he'd ony refund the price of the Kubrick boxes, but not the shipping too).   :-\

Since I didn't want to waste the cash, I decided to keep them.  At least he did send me back a bit of my money to kind of apologize, so that was something at least. 

So, my Kubys are here, but I've only got 6/9 of a set.  Guess I will have to go the eBay route and chase those last 3...  :'(

Jeff, sorry to hear this, it`s one of my nightmares.
Were the boxes of 12 opened, or did you get 4 boxes not in a master case, just
loose?

2 of the boxes in our master case were kinda open, the glue was not glued
very well. I chalked it up to heat, but we did get the chase figs from it.
