* Boxed pics coming soon!  Until then, enjoy this info... :)

Ratios!
3:12 - Darth Maul
3:12 - Battle Droid
2:12 - Qui-Gon Jinn
2:12 - C-3PO
1:12 - Anakin Skywalker
1:12 - Queen Amidala

Chases!
- Jar Jar Binks (found in Battle Droid box)
- Aurra Sing (found in C-3PO box)
- Saesee Tiin (found in Qui-Gon box)

Overall Master Case Ratios:
12:48 - Darth Maul
11:48 - Battle Droid
7:48 or 8:48 - Qui-Gon Jinn (depending on your MC)
7:48 or 8:48 - C-3PO (depending on your MC)
4:48 - Anakin Skywalker
4:48 - Queen Amidala
1:48 - Jar Jar Binks (Battle Droid Box)
1:96 - Aurra Sing (C-3PO Box)
1:96 - Saesee Tiin (Qui-Gon Box)

So, it looks like every Master Case will have 1x Jar Jar and 1x either Aurra or Saesee... :)

Great News.  Love me some Kubie news.

The only "bad" thing in my opinions is that Jar-Jar is 1:48.  I was hoping that the "common" chase would be 2:48 so I could sell one from my MC to keep costs down.

I'm glad that Ani and Amidala are 1:12.  I would rather have gotten battle droids as 4:12 and Maul as 2:12.  Anyway, exciting days.

Gah! :o  Jar Jar is the more common chase piece.  Poor choice there.   :-X

Love the boxes, but its a definite departure from Series 1-7

I really like the 30AC-type packaging.  I think that since this is prequal based, it lends itself well to having a different packaging design than Series 1-7.  I'm sure all the OT purists like that the packaging is a departure as well...

The box artwork has changed before...

Series 1-5 were the same style, but I think it was Series 6-7 that had more of a "RotS" lave/mustafar style look to them (even though they were not prequel based).

I like the look of the boxes.  :)

Yep, figures that Aurra Sing is 1:96.  Nuts.  Seems like the last couple of releases I liked the chase figures better than the regular releases.

I really wish they would have put 2 Jar Jars per master case. So is soeone goingt o break down each master case bob by bob once they get them? I dont remember who did it last time.

Forgot about the ROTS box style.  Very good point.

The box packaging is sweet, keeping up with the modern SW line.  8)

I was expecting the common chase to be 2:48, oh well it's only Jar Jar.  :-X

Aurra Sing & Saesee 1:96, good choice. Aurra is going to be one popular chase figure.  ;D

I kind of wished I had two Master Cases on order now.  :'(  I guess my wallet is happy though.
