I just picked up my first carded Kubrick the other day. I got a Carded Greedo of the bay for $9.99. I was on somewhat of a eBay spree earlier this month and I bid on this guy kind of just for the heck of it. My max bid was the starting bid of $9.99 and nobody else bid on it. I didn't really think I'd have a chance to win it and figured at least one other person would bid. After winning I think I figured out why I was the only one... Shipping was twenty ******* bucks. I know it's Hong Kong to the US but $20, seriously? I kind of feel like I got screwed on this one. Lesson learned I suppose, always remember to check the shipping before bidding. ::)

Did I at least pay a fair price for the Kuby itself or did I get completely screwed?

I don't collect the carded ones, but I think $10 for a carded anything Kubrick is a good deal, even if it's a fake!

Why do you say it's fake?

I don't think he said it was a fake, but said that even if it was a fake, $10 is a good price for a carded Kubrick.


Greedo can be had for $10-$25 loose so getting him new on a card for that same price range isn't bad at all (in my opinion).

Exactly.  I don't think its a fake/custom, but $10 custom carded would even be a good deal IMO.  Only crappy part is that he has to pay $20 shipping from overseas.

$20. seems to be the shipping standard but it could be had for a bit less but not much, $15. bottom line. Rates are up all over, heck our rates go up in the new year which I'm afraid to see. Most of the Kuby's come from the Orient & ship EMS (Express Mail Service), priority handling from acceptance to delivery in the destination country or territory & end-to-end tracking plus signature on delivery.

All in all, yeah the shipping is about right.

That's nice to see. I feel a lot better about what I paid now.

All of my Kubes came from people within the U.S. so I've never really purcahsed anything from overseas. I don't think I'll ever get used to paying that much for shipping...

Just arrived this week a 70% clear Be@rbrick I ordered from cdjapan for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Special Collectors DVD Edition.

Haven't seen them around, and I had to add this to my indy collection

I got my Bape Fett in the mail today from an ebay win. Now I'm down to just needing the Blue Stars Snowtrooper, the AOTC box set, and the 400% Fetts to be caught up. First Kubrick purchase in a long time for me.

I received my Snowtrooper from an eBay auction.  I'm now done with that boxed set.  Haven't even started the next one.  :o
