Certainly starting to look that way.
All it took was someone hitting BIN for that first han at 34.99, now they are
all that price! Just have to wait for the dust to settle.

Just for interest's sake, I'm splitting off the posts about the 400% Kubricks into a new thread.  It should help keep the conversation from overlapping that way.  :)

I see nothing thus far on Blue Snaggy and Walrusman on eBay. I did find Walrusman on Yahoo Japan and Yahoo Hong Kong.





I checked my tracking on my Master Case but the link on Canada Post is AOL.

To track shipments from Japan, go to:
http://www.post.japanpost.jp/english/ems/ems.html

This is how I track my stuff from RoBby.

the number I have now doesn`t seem to be working, but Ryo emailed
me and said my stuff did go out EMS, so maybe the Japanese PO is just
running slow or something today.

Sounds good! I`m betting there will be more 400% on the way.

That link is no good when the item arrives in Canada, it's not updated so I switch over to Canada Post. I get better results.

I had the same problem with my tracking number, there are spaces between the numbers, just adjust them and you should be fine.  ;)

Took the spaces out (I`ve used the site to track all my stuff from RoBby so far).
Didn`t know that once it hits Canada you couldn`t track it from there.
How much customs are you going to have to pay?
I wonder how much you have to spend before US customs stops something...
This one is close to a grand...

It's strange the tracking stops once it arrives here, seems the Japan tracking is not updated. With Series 4, the tracking here still showed it pending customs clearance then a few minutes later the parcel arrives.  ::)  No way that parcel could arrive from Vancouver to here in that time.

Now I have to wait on the customs fees, I'm guessing around $28.00 CDN.

I get hit with 7% of the total cost plus a $5.00 service fee for a stupid piece of paper. Brent and Jesse land up paying more as there % is higher.

If the value is marked less then thats a plus.  ;D

And that's 7% less than the rest of us in Canada :-\

I'm going to say that the Endor Han is like the White Pauldron Sandtrooper.  There are just too many of them out there.  So since Luke is 4 per case, I think one box of 12 is nothing but Endor Han.

Sounds like a good theory to me. I haven`t seen Walrus Man or Blue Snag on the bay yet, or I missed them. If he is 4/48, 35 bucks is WAAAYY to much for him

Blue Snaggy

Yep, one of the more known names has Wally and Snaggy up.
They also claim this in the auction
"One carton (48 pieces) has only 1 piece of this item and not every carton has it since it would be a Walrus Man, very rare and hard to get!"
And for Han Trench:
One carton (48 pieces) has only 2 pieces of this item, very rare!"

Full Set

hk_apestore has a full set up now.
Guess it took some time to open all the cases and put them into sets  ;)
I actually like Walrus Man better than blue Snag, I needs me one!
