Considering my birthday is March 10, I'm going to dive into Kubricks with this series and try to get myself a birthday present with the Maul.  Can't wait until next year!

Wow. I know their culture is more patient than ours, but that is a big gap in marketing a line anywhere.

15 months between releases is a long time- but I guess they didn't wait as long as George to get from the OT to the PT.  :-\

They may have done it to just raise demand being that they switched to PT, knowing allot of people wanted more OT.

We may see a box set before then or a carded one by the end of the year?
Who knows.
So the only Kubrick we got this year was the Carded Han.

I need a fix.

[note to self]sell Brent/Dale extras from my Master Cases[/note to self]  ;)

I will still be buying.  Maybe my next mega-order won't be 7 Master Cases, but I'll still be buying.  I loves me some Kubricks, and even Prequel Trilogy stuff can't break my jones for new Kubies. 

I spoke with Robby.jp today.  They expect to be taking pre-orders on Series 8 sometime soon, so I guess it's time to kick off Jeff's Kubrick Star Wars Series 8 Mega-Order:)

All I will take orders for right now is Master Cases (4 boxes of 12, 100% chance of at least 1 chase figure), Boxes of 12 (approx. 50% chance of at least 1 chase figure), or Basic Set of 6.  Since we don't know ratios yet, it's hard to guarantee any specific individual figure requests yet...

Jeff - For those of us new to the bulk order process, what are the price ranges for each option?

Since they are not officially up for pre-order, I have no firm prices yet.  The final price will depend on a number of things - wholesale price, shipping from Japan, currency exchange rate, fees, etc.

If the prices hold similar to the past series, sets of 6 should run around $48 ($45-50) and a box of 12 should run around $83 ($80-85) plus shipping.

I was also surprised to see this auction this morning and was even more surprised to see that it wasn't flagged as pre-sell?
