Am I right in saying there has only been one Saesee Tiin found so far?

Did your case come from Robby as well?

Our case came from a friend in Japan.
Don't know the source, just a local Toy/Comic shop I think.
We take turns on the Cgase figures.
Adam is up for Series 9.
Up until now, we took turns on the 1:96 and the other 2 people got the 2:48.
This time I was the only one to get a chase, they didn't even get to fight over the 1:48 (should be 2:48) Jar Jar.
Adam is up for the 1:96 next time, but being that we didn't get a 2:48 this time around, I'm not sure how to split them for Series 9 or what the ratios might be, they may mix it up again on us.
Such is Kubricks.

Is the ratio for Jar Jar actually correct at either 1/48 or 2/48?  Given it didn't appear in your case, and assuming he's in half the cases, isn't he a 1/96 as well.  It seems it might be a split of JarJar + Sing or Tinn and nothing to mix it up otherwise.  So you either get two or one chase but the ratios are about the same per master case overall.

Interesting thought... but I would think that if Jar Jar were rarer than 1:48, the big overseas power sellers would be posting higher BIN auctions for him.   ???

I guess we probably need to see a few more "Saesee Tiin" MCs before we know more...

I agree, just sort of random speculation.  Maybe the overseas sellers are expecting packing like previous series' just as we are?  It's only been about a week since these were out.

My daughter's helped open my 1/2 mastercase last night- it was great, and I really like these figures, prequel or not. Since my mastercase is shared with another JD'er that hasn't picked them up yet, I am trying not to spoil his experience by letting him know what I found/didn't find.

Great stuff guys!  BrentS and I are planning our own BNB as an homage to you guys to celebrate our first Master Cases.  Hope to post pictures next week when we get our loot from Jeff.  Can't wait!

Hey DSJ, you still thinking about keeping those other two boxes of 12 sealed now that we have another report of Master Cases being mis-packed?!  I'd really be interested in seeing if there are any Master Cases that were packed with two rare chases or two common chases in them by 'mistake'.

Both boxes are still sealed thus far. I still think they are just the normal assortment but the way things are going with the MC's, who knows. It would be something to pull a chase or 2 from those boxes but highly doubtful. I will ponder on this more this weekend.

Got my box of 12 in the mail from Jeff today. And no chases were to be found.

Guys, the pictures you didn't post in this thread were freakin' hysterical.  I loved the Arc pics.

How easy did Maul and 3PO come apart??

He popped apart real easy. Actually, his head and arms came off easily as well.
