I also need the vinyl Jawa, blue coat Snaggletooth, old Anakin and Tion Medon.

One more down.  I was able to pick up the Series 7 Anakin chase from Jerry's ebay auctions.  And then there were four...

My brother grabed it for me from a comic/toy store. They dont deal in kubricks normally so someone probably traded it in.

Wow, that's a nice find to grab from someone who doesn't normally carry them.  Congrats!

Got the Rebo Band set today in Tokyo. I wasn't really even looking for it, but I've wanted one for a long time and with the Jabba wave coming up I really wanted to get my hands on one. It was the equivalent of $150, which seemed reasonably good considering how much it's been going for these days, so I jumped on it.

I picked up a Saesee Tiin off Ebay today for $77 ($70 total after Ebay and Bing rebates).  Only problem is that he doesn't come with his lightsaber.   :-\  Does anyone who has one of these have a reference for how similar his saber might be to others?  I think it's green, so I'm wondering if Grievous or Jedi Luke or Qui Gon have sabers that are fairly similar.  I couldn't find a good reference pic on the interweb, but I rarely see this figure offered up anywhere and decided to jump on it while I could.

Not to freak you guys out, but I'd be wondering about these being real or not.  Sounds like castoff figures maybe without their accessories?

Does anyone who has one of these have a reference for how similar his saber might be to others? 

DSJ has a very good picture of it in the Seris 8 thread, so I copied it here:

My Saesee Tiin arrive today, that completes Series 8 for me.  8)




As you can tell, there isn't another lightsaber that I'm aware of from the other series that has a hilt that is all black and that long.  You might be able to get away with painting the green Grievous saber hilt black, but I doubt the hilt will be long enough to pass as the real thing.

No coincidence - I outbid you in the final seconds just before you outbid me.  Sorry about that as it just worked out to you paying a few bucks more.   :-\  The same guy emailed me with a second chance offer Buy-It-Now price of $65 + $12 shipping.  That actually worked better for me, because BIN deals quailify for the Bing discount of 8%.   ;D  Kudos to you on getting one as well!

You mean factory rejects?  I hope not, but I bought with Paypal, so should be protected if it turns out to be a crap item.  The guy has 1100+  Ebay feedback and sells a ton of Medicom stuff, so hopefully the figs are in good shape.  I'm bummed about the missing lightsaber, but when am I going to have a shot at Saesee Tiin for $70 shipped?  Besides, Dale dared me to finish off my missing Kubes by the end of the year and I've only got about ten more to go.   ;)
