I'll go ahead and guess a Boushh Chase for Leia and a Blue Snag chase too! ;D
Oh man, me Visa is going to cry out as Series 4 and Series 5 are only 3 months apart! :o
I can't believe that I am getting 3 from my wish list in Series 4 and the other 3 from my wish list in Series 5! :o
I love Medicom! :-*

Scott / Jeff,
Great job on the article. I really like how you guys focus on the postive of this line and do not get opinionated in your piece.
That's it, I can't fight this anymore. As of today, I'm officially collecting Kubricks.
This was my thought too after seeing this latest wave. Unfortunately, I'm concerned that I'm just too far behind at this point to catch up...and I'm not sure I can afford to anyways. I'm sure as heck figuring out if I can though :).
OK, with Series 5 coming out it looks like I'm back to ordering another Master Case. I think the other 2 boxes will be spoken for and Matt Brand, are you in? :)

You know it!!!!!! Thanks. :)

I need to take a picture of my figure cases tonight to show ya'll my current set up...its pretty neat :-* :-* :P
At least I wouldn't be the only one ;).
I have a Master Case ordered as well but I'm thinking of dropping that in leiu of picking up a full set w/ chases like I did before. That usually runs around $200-$220 instead of the $300 and hassle of selling sets
My new top 10 wishlist:
Hammerhead
Walrus Man
Snowtrooper
Biker Scout
Emperor's Royal Guard
TIE Fighter Pilot
Grand Moff Tarkin
Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot)
Gamorrean Guard
Bib Fortuna
:)

That's what I'm thinking about doing. After the trouble I had of catching up, I figure this is the easiest (and most likely, least expensive) way to go.

I think HLJ is not filled with fools. I think they know which boxes to ship out as single boxes of 12 and which to retain otherwise.
Here are my predictions/thoughts-
Yoda- 1/12 (He's way too big)
Jedi Luke- 3/12- Chase Holo, Dagobah, or caped (We should be getting the cape anyway!)
Slave Leia- 1/12 (What's with her boobs?)
Admiral Ackbar- 1/12
Death Star Gunner- 2/12- Chase Death Star Commander (only one from the original 12-back missing) or Tie Fighter Pilot
Snaggletooth- 2/12- Chase Blue Snaggletooth (Seems we all agree on this one)
I definitely sense the Jabba boxed set coming.
HAHAHAHA....oh, that Slave Leia figure just cracks me up!! The rest are very cool and I'm bummed I never jumped in to this line in the beginning. I was wondering if anyone has acquired all the chase figures? Is Ebay the best way to go for these or do you just buy a cases??I don't have the two variant Fetts but do have the rest
I too ordered a box of series 4 from HLJ and plan on doing the same for series 5. This is great news to release in Fall or Winter.I believe I have heard July 2nd
The wait for series 4 has been hard. BTW, any hard and fast dates on the release of 4?

I'm all caught up too. 400% Fett is arriving tomorrow. My case of Series 4 is already on order too.
Just curious what people think about buying rare figures without their accessories...
I recently found a Boba Fett with the red gauntlets for 8 bucks at a local store here in Japan... But no gun!
What do you people think... I have a hard time bringing myself to do it, but I can't bring myself to pay alot for single figures...
Anybody got guns for that figure they could hook me up with?
Peace...

Legends has him but not actually sure if it will be him. Best to e-mail then and find out. $15.99. SW Kubrick S2 - Cantina member (http://www.legendsactionfigures.com/en/products.php?prd=131303070&cat=1621916350)
Why's everyone saying a blue lightsaber for Luke as a chase?. He never used a blue one in that outfit. ???
I don't need two Jedi Lukes where the only difference is a color change on his lightsaber.

I hear you, I am far more interested in the Chase figures that are "unique" figures than the simple variants. I love the chases to be like Logray, Carbonite Sickness Han, and Indy instead of just color/accessory variants like the Jawa, Sandtrooper, and Cantina Band.

Crap on a stick! I just got up and (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/konfus/e022.gif)
I'm not seeing any difference in the carded Vader and the loose one unless I'm missing something.
Guilt for making us wait so long? Yeah right. Did you notice some descriptions of the Emperor say "with walking cane" and some say "with lightening bolts"? If he's 2 to a case that makes sense. The bolts must be the accessory variation. Hmmm...

Awesome detective work bikeridetony. ;D
I am so stoked that the Stormtrooper, Vader, & Emperor are the 4X, 3X, & 2X figures. The Emperor accessory variation would make sense. I know I said this about the Jawa, but if this one ends up being like the Cantina Band Member we need to hook each other up.
Got this from kubrickworld.
Series 4 Chase Vader!
Head over to http://www.slave1.jp/ and go to the news section.
I'm surprised the chase vader isn't the carded one. I mean, aren't they just opening up themselves to fakes? It'd be pretty hard to fake the bubble though. I wouldn't droping big bucks on carded Vader until we see what the regular Vader is like close up. If it is exactly the same, it might not get as expensive as the other limited edition ones.
Um, my orange pauldron trooper only has the short blaster with it, not the rifle. Neither of them have the rifle.
I was expecting the regular Vader to have a removable helmet. It's a relatively easy thing to do with Kuby's and I figured Medicom often makes the extra effort so they probably would here.
My point being this seems like a pretty uneventful chase figure if indeed it is Luke under Vader's mask. It's cool and neat and all that stuff, but if the other Vader has an older face with a removable mask/helmet I'm probably not going to really bother with the chase piece on this.
This photo from Slave1 shows the Emperor with both cane and lightning bolt.
(http://www.galactichunter.com/absolutenm/articlefiles/4537-008.jpg)
I had originally assumed that the regular Vader would have a fixed mask (non-removable) and the chase Vader would be removeable to show Anakin's face. So these pics with Luke's face caught me off guard - I think it's a great idea!
I'm just not sure what to expect for the regular Vader now... unless this is the regular Vader (non-chase). I don't think we've actually had confirmation yet of what the regular Vader really is. :-\
Cool chase (variant?)...I am guessing a totally different chase as well that will be harder to find. This is probably more of a Variant in the same vein as the Cantina Band/Carbon Han
According to Kubrick World, the pictures came from a guy who saw the RH Vader in a McDonald's after the show. It could have been a carded Vader that someone opened. So far, I haven't heard of anyone getting a case of 48 yet. So this could possible be the Carded Vader. Hypothetically, if it's the only way to get a Luke/Vader we're really screwed for display purposes. We'd have to buy 2, one for opening.
Man, I hope that isnt the carded version. I dont mind if its the chase figure, but please dont let that be the carded version.

$75 is too much for something I'm going to open. $27 would be ideal for the Luke ;) but I ain't counting on it. Now I really need to find a Droids R2 opener for cheap and I'll be up to where I want to be, minus the Rebo band set that I am patiently waiting to drop in price (please) :-\QuoteLol, ok, sounds good.

As one of the quasi-resident drunks, I know better than to offer beer all night long ;)
DSJ,
That looks/sounds like it will be the regular Vader.
At least, that is what I got out of that post.. other than a headache ;)
Wait though...is that the regular version?

That carded Vader better be identical to one of the loose ones, that's all I've got to say! :-X
I spy with my little eye...Han Solo Stormtrooper Chase.
So i guess thats it, 2 chase figures. This could be problematic, people may be making fakes and selling them off as real. Anyway, it's pretty cool, i guess Luke shouldnt be far along. I am actually surprised they did't do Luke first.

OK, I realize the Han Trooper figure could be easily customized/faked, but why are we all getting paranoid about fakes all of the sudden? Is there a history of fakes with other Kubrick lines, and are the clear Kubrick baggies that the figures come sealed in easily re-created?
I guess it'll depend on the rarity of this figure, but if it's just 1/48, or better, going through all the trouble of combining an old Han and a new Stormtrooper and recreating the sealed baggie, just doesn't seem all that worth it to me... :-\
Or maybe I'm just being naive here. I dunno...
So it appears that Luke as Darth Vader to be the 1:48 and the Han Solo Stormtrooper to be the 3:48? This makes sense can anyone confirm this?
You would think that Luke would be done first to follow the vinty line unless he's going to be another carded figure ala Stormtrooper. Still can't figure out why the Froot Loops Han Trooper.

Hi. New here. (This is an awesomem thread, by the way.) :)
I think the reason Medicom did Froot Loops Han as a chase is because he was so rare in the 90s. You know how much they love to pay hommage to Kenner/Hasbro. All of their chase figures (and most of the other figures as well) have some reference to the old line. (Must be BIG Kenner fans designing these little guys.) Remember, series 3 had vinyl Jawa as a rare chase. And that is, I hear, the most expensive Kenner figure to find carded. Medicom is so cool. I love trying to figure out how they think. The Max Rebo set and old-style packaging. The 400% Boba Fett and THAT packaging. Think of the last three chase figures (in series 3). Han in Carbonite got 'squinty-eyes' Han. Put those side-by-side and you got what looks exactly like the 90s Carbonite Han figure. Even the way you keep one inside the other. Then, of course, the Jawa. And then Wicket got his 2-pack buddy from the 90s, Logray, as his chase. This is why I'm so pumped about the (hopefully 3) chase figures from this new series. So far, Darth Vader is totally a Kubrick version of the talking 14" Hasbro one (and he's not even the chase, apparently). The chase is the Luke/Vader figure Hasbro eventually put out a few years back. Broken helmet and everything. (The fact that theirs has a helmet you can completely take apart is probably to link it with the regular figure. And probably their way of saying 'this would be even cooler - hee hee'.)
ANYWAY! All this to say I love this thread. I love that there's a bunch of Star Wars Kubrick fanatics like me out here. Gonna be stopping by here a lot, I think. :)
So, any predictions as to what might hopefully be the third chase?
:)
Hi. New here. (This is an awesome thread, by the way.) :)
...I'm hoping Bespin Luke will have a chase figure here. Maybe he'll be Dagobah Luke. Same pants, but with a tank-top. Or maybe even a Stormtrooper Luke.
By the way, has a thread been started with predictions for series 5 yet?
:)
I sure hope your Logray chase is the real deal, too many bloody fakes floating around. :-\
So it appears that Luke as Darth Vader to be the 1:48 and the Han Solo Stormtrooper to be the 3:48? This makes sense can anyone confirm this?I really hope that's the case. Don't really like the Luke/Vader, but I would love to get the han stormie.
I recall the fake Logray discussion about yujun's figure, but don't remember anything conclusive coming out of it, which means I still haven't heard of anyone getting caught faking a Star Wars Kubrick yet.
Obviously, seeing pictures ahead of time will always be the best way to go, so you can closely inspect the bag, the seams of the bag, and the contents of course. Anyway, I'm not going to lose much sleep over stressing over potential Han Stormie fakes just yet...
Hopefully tanyujun can chime in here, haven`t seen him online in awhile.
yoz! hee.. sorry.. was away in australia goldcoast.. :)
mm.. regarding the logray.. i didnt give him any negative feedback cause he refunded my money....
i realised it was a fake cause of the legs.. normal ones has ball joints while the fake ones dun.. so when u move one side, the other will move too...
and the paint job.. its quite hard to tell though unless u compare the real and the fake one..
one more thing, notice the seller, madsontoys... they keep listing lograys.. ever wondered why they have so many of them??
You`d think they would at least buy a bunch of wicket and use his box

Well that's pretty cool then. I like that there's a difference with the mask as well. It's a very neat chase piece. Kudos to Medicom for it.
Interesting too in that you would neat a lot of Vaders to display all the options:
Vader helmet and mask on
Vader helmet off, mask on
Vader helmet and mask off, Anakin head
Vader helmet off, broken mask on Luke
Vader helmet and mask off, Luke head
:P
I think I'll be ok with just three, helmet on, Vader and Luke.
Just got word from Hong Kong. Here 's the breakdown per case of 12.
* DARTH VADER with Lightsaber ratio : 4/12
* STORMTROOPER with Blaster Rifle ratio : 3/12
* EMPEROR PALPATINE with Emperor's cane ratio : 2/12
* LUKE SKYWALKER in Bespin outfit with blaster ratio : 1/12
* HAN SOLO in Hoth gear with Blaster ratio : 1/12
* NIEN NUNB with Blaster ratio : 1/12
* 1 DARTH VADER with Lightsaber ratio : 4/12
* 2 LUKE SKYWALKER in Bespin outfit with blaster ratio : 1/12
* 3 HAN SOLO in Hoth gear with Blaster ratio : 1/12
* 4 NIEN NUNB with Blaster ratio : 1/12
* 5 STORMTROOPER with Blaster Rifle ratio : 3/12
* 6 EMPEROR PALPATINE with Emperor's cane ratio : 2/12
OR
* 5 STORMTROOPER with Blaster Rifle ratio : 4/12
* 6 EMPEROR PALPATINE with Emperor's cane ratio : 1/12
Hey, it looks like the third chase figure DID turn out to be Luke in Stormtrooper disguise. Yess!!!!
:)
Sweet. You know, Hasbro sure could learn a lot from Medicom - we get both Stormtrooper disguises in the same wave. Now THAT's how you generate happy collectors. 8)Until you have to pay 100 bucks for them or something ;)
Good point! :D
So now was that Luke Stormie in a Stormtrooper box or Luke box?
Perhaps they are both Stormtrooper chases, since the Stormtrooper is 3:12 or 4:12? (And Vader/Luke is the Vader chase)BING BING BING
BING BING BING
Hey, now all we need is a Chewie in chains (as 'prisoner') and we can play out the 'Death Star Escape'...And a nice big KUBRICK DEATHSTAR!! lol

I might have an extra Wicket laying around here somewhere.... ;)BING BING BING
Do I get a prize? ;)
Yeah, I find the $100. price tag a bit much. I could see Luke/Vader going for $90-$120. but not these. More in the $40. range.
You can have my Wicket too Jesse. :-*
Also, metioned in a thread over at kubrick world, we should take care of
each other on these.

They did that with the regular Cantina Band Member in series 2, IIRC, and the only difference then was the weapon.
Crikey, I hope not. Having to buy chases from two different sources would be a series pain in the buttinski.

UGH! I knew it was coming, but still. So, there are 3 chase figures so far? Is the "Anakin" Vader figure a chase or the normal figure?
Boba Fett (ROTJ version w/ 2 red gauntlets - 1/48 CHASE from Hong Kong)
Boba Fett (Vintage version w/ 1 yellow and 1 red gauntlet - 1/48 CHASE from Japan)
BTW, that Luke Stormie pic is HK Apestore - would the Luke chase be a Hong Kong version while Han is from Japan?
Matt has a list in the Power of the Kubricks (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=4623.msg63544#msg63544) thread.
I guess this would be a good time to mention that I'm working on a Kubricks checklist, eh? ;)
Did we ever figure out if Jawa/Logray was a HK/Jap variation?
My memory is shot ???
Oh brother, both the Stormtrooper chases have been Bin'd. The gang from KW will recognize the bidders name.
hk_apestore just put another Han and Luke Stormie up for auction for the same price.

I wonder if they're 4:48; I don't believe they could stay at $100. At least thats what I'm hoping for.
If he bought a box of 12, thats leaves 3 boxes in the Master Case that may contain the chases.
:-*
Damn, i dont think they will stay that high. I hope not anyway.

I have an extra Droids R2 somewhere, but the card's a little dinged up. You looking for MOMC, or an opener?

Now you know I wouldn't do that to you, you grumpy old bastard... ::)
Nah, I'm only dangling it for potential trading purposes, as I'm still short one VC Jawa, and was contemplating doing a swap for it. That's all.
Otherwise, I have no intentions of letting it go, as I'd like a carded and loose of each unique carded figure. But since you swiped the opener Holo Leia the other day, you don't deserve to even sniff my Droids R2, punk.
Just found another pic of Luke/Vader figure on Yahoo Japan. It doesn't say anything about ratios though. Great chase figure.
He got the droids Fett out from under me on eBay too!! :P
Hmm, let me look real quick....He got the droids Fett out from under me on eBay too!! :P
How much did Brent pull that one off for, Adam? If it was less than $40, then he's even more of a punk. >:(
Those of you getting Master cases, could you document what you get and publish it here, so that if we can see if there is any pattern to the packing. I'll be getting 2 Mastercase in the next 2-3 days so I'll publish my results here ASAP. It might reduce unnecessay openings.

if not the han trooper is the 1/96 since medicom loves harrison ford so much
Just a clarification - a master case has 4 boxes of 12 figures for 48 figures total. So if a figure is 1:96, that would mean that it is only 1 in every 2 master cases? Ouch.

Forget it, people. I was the one who pounced on one of the Darth Lukes. I was super-excited and then when I got back from lunch to pay him, I had an e-mail from him saying that he made a mistake and that he had to cancel them. (But I had already won it, and it still shows that I won it for $23.88.) He offered to sell me the full basic set of 6 for 59.99. I told him to forget it, as I already have someone who's got them for me...for cheaper. So I told him I only wanted the chases. He said he may be able to get me a better price for the 3. Hmmm. Let's see. J-off!.
:)
Well I'm happy!! 'Cause that means that the chase will be 1/48 and not 1/96. My checkbook cannot handle 1/96That would put me out of the Kubrick chase game I think.
Of course I'm assuming that another chase is not waiting to be revealed.
My ultimate nightmare would be a Japanese Chase Director George Lucas, esp. after founder on kubrick world indicated that that would be a good possibility.
Nah, I think I'd just avoid the really REALLY expensive ones at that point. Love those little guys too much.ok, you twisted my arm. I`d avoid the really expensive ones ;D

I'm confused - why do you think it's 1:48 instead of 1:96?Because Star Wars have 12 boxes per 1 case thus making a master case of 48 boxes. So buying a master case would get you the 1:48 chase figure. :)

I don't think Star Wars Kubricks have a 1:96 ratio. I think sellers like to use 1:96 instead of 1:48 because it looks more rare. Even though they are just as rare because Star Wars are 12 to a case instead of 24 to case like Disney or Marvel.

I think that eBay Darth Luke seller who stiffed us both liked you more. He offered you a better deal. (58.00 to my 59.99 - LOL)
But you know what? I was thinking. What mistake was he referring to? His supposedly regular Darths are up for $9.99 with the Buy it Now. But he put these Darth Lukes up at 23.88 each.
Chech out this photo of the regular Vader by Instinctoy. Totally amazing detail. Now I see why the head is so big.

Looks like one of the best kubs in the SW line yet!
I think I will keep 3 regular Vaders and and display them like this.

****. I hate to say it, but I'm inclined to agree with you Simon. I think I may be doing the same thing myself, and getting 3 regular Vaders. Ugh.
Absolutely stunning figure though!

Jeff
So do we have any real idea what is what yet? I've tried reading through this thread to catch up (I was gone for a vacation), but I'm still a bit confused about the Chases...
So, a "regular" box of 12 looks like this:
4x Darth Vader
4x Stormtrooper
1x Emperor
1x Hoth Han
1x Bespin Luke
1x Nien Nunb
And the Chases are:
Darth Vader (Dagobah Cave)
Stormtrooper Han
Stormtrooper Luke
And that's all we know so far, yes? No better info on ratios yet?

Hey, anyone know if Marky Mark Hamill is into these l'il guys? I'm sure HE'd get a real kick outta these.
:)
PS. I just caved and spent $275 (shipping included) for a full set of 9 from one of my contacts. (Someone I trust.) Had about $200 set aside for them and moved stuff around to manage the other 75. I figured if I don't buy 'em now, I'll use up that cash on stupid things like living expenses. LOL
Now it's all about waiting for that Postman every day and giving him my 'excited doggy' impression. LOL
It sucks that these are starting out so much higher than series 3. Patience, 300.00 plus shipping is just too much for me.Above my price too.

I figure 100 for Vader, 40-50 each for the Han & Luke and 50 for the set is
what I would pay if I weren`t getting a case.
Still kinda high, but I would be OK with it.

I agree, more feasable i guess ::) but i can work with it.
Where is the best, i guess i mean cheapest place to get a master case, maybe its something to think about.
Spanky? Can you tell me more?

Crap, that was what I was starting to fear. This just makes it hard when 4 people are in on a Master Case. :-\
HLJ should be mentioning that there Kuby's are instock soon, only problem is it's going to be the end of the month or early next month till I see my shipment.(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/waiting.gif)
How come so long? Customs take that long with them? blech! :-X
How come so long? Customs take that long with them? blech! :-X
Yep, customs takes forever plus waiting for the order. With Series 2, HLJ processed my order on Nov 1st then shipped on Nov 2nd. It was sitting in customs pending clearence on Nov 6th and on Nov 12th I received my order.
So that was 11 days waiting plus HLJ marks the shippment as merchandise so I get hit with all the customs fees. So yeah, end of the month or there abouts.
As for customs fees, they take the value and convert it to Canadian then add 7% GST plus a $5. fee for the paper work. I think Brent pays 7% GST plus 7% PST and the $5. I think Jesse is in the same boat as me?
Ugh, that sucks guys!
Does customs inspect packages a lot?
Well, I just heard back from my Kubrick Source...
I was quoted a price of $440 plus shipping for a Master Case of Series 4! ::)
It seems like pretty much even seller is uber-greedy this time around with Vader being involved. :-\ I guess I won't be using him again for my Series 4... >:(
It's off to plan B to try to get a Master Case... ;)
So far, HLJ (http://www.hlj.com/product/MEDKUB-208A) is the cheapest at 9360 yen (about $83 US / $100 CDN) - unfortunately, there's no shipping cost listed yet, which will obviously be a big factor coming from Japan.
Spanky's (http://www.spanky.co.jp/index2.html) a little more at 9828 yen (about $87.50 US / $106 CDN) - again, I'm not sure about shipping.
Do we know for sure that the stormtrooper chase (Han or Luke, doesn't matter) is only two per box?
...I'm going to guess that there's more than 2 stormtrooper chase per box.

Like the rest of you jokers, I've been watching like a hawk and I never saw this one, nothing priced that low. It's not a BIN, so where was it hidden? The category is normal but it was listed yesterday and sold today?? Private listing?
My master case is at my post office. They tried to deliver it today and I missed it. :'(
Tomorrow the ratios will be known. I realize we have a pretty good idea thanks to yujun and others, but I'm still hoping for some better results. :-\

It was there, I saw it when it was listed and it wasn't hidden. I just type in Kubrick Star Wars and it showed up.
I expect HLJ to have something soon, I checked there site earlier this morning and Series 4 was showing in there system and now it's not there.
u got han as the chase?
urs a japan or hk shipment?
Holy, sweet news. Congrats on the 2 chases. 8)
So I guessing that the Luke/Vader came in a Vader box?

Hey Padawan,
Could you clarify what you meant by flip the cases over? Did you flip the master case or each individual box of 12? Which way did you flip them? Thanks! Tony

And WTF is a Bobba Fett! :D
If the Luke Vader is packed in 1:48, and if there is either 2:48 of the Han Stormies or 2:48 of the Lukes Stormies, but not both, does this not make all 3 chase figures 1:48? This is of course assuming that the Lukes and Hans are equally packed. Or is my maths all over the shop?
Dagobah Vader = 1/48 (one per Master Case)
and
Stormtrooper Luke = 2/48 (Two per Master Case)
or
Stormtrooper Han = 2/48 (Two per Master Case)
So, on average (assuming version 1 and version 2 are equally distributed), the Total for two master cases would be=
30:96 Darth Vader (5:16)
28:96 Stormtrooper (7:24)
8:96 Emperor (1:12)
8:96 Hoth Han (1:12)
8:96 Bespin Luke (1:12)
8:96 Nien Nunb (1:12)
2:96 Stormtrooper Han (1:48)
2:96 Stormtrooper Luke (1:48)
2:96 Dagobah Darth Vader (1:48)
If that holds true (all 3 CHASE = 1/48), I would expect to see Stormie Han and Stormie Luke hang around the $90 range for a while... :-\
Jeff
Looks like that $49 Luke was a bargain (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5986799960&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)
I know I would have bought it at that price. It's still early, but I hope this doesn't keep up, otherwise a master case is looking like the only sensible way to go. Aside from the fact it's too late.
A set at $300 might not be a bad investment. :-\
Edit: Luke ended at $86 :'(

Jeff had the same calculations as you guys.
This is going to be pricey to grab all 3 chases without a master case.
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/6-05/kubseries5.jpg)
Do you guys realize that a master case from Robby.Jp is only about $230 if you pre-order it? You can't beat that.
are you not very proficient in bs?

Your registration form is submitted.
We will let you know by e-mail or phone when you are qualified for the membership.
If it is an issue, perhaps you can go for multiple cases. I know I'd take one at that price. Probably Jesse too. We'd have to work out the additional shipping somehow though, otherwise we'll just argue who receives it first so the other(s) have to pay additional shipping. At that price I'd order a master case for sure.

Sounds good to me, my addy and your CC. :-*
Ya know, I was thinking Dale, you might owe me enough to pay for a master case anyway :-X ;)
If you use a CC, they charge 3% fee, and bank transfer was a set fee of
1,500 yen (13-15 bucks depending on exchang rates).

So the price goes up a tad now, still cheaper tho.
Couple of BINs on ebay right now, $89.99 for Han and Vader chase. Seller's name seems familiar.
Han (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5986997307&rd=1)
Vader (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5986997289&rd=1)
Again, $300 is seeming reasonable for 9 piece sets.

Now, THIS is how to sell a basic set.
The way he has the Vader(s) (or is it Vadi?...), is how I will probably set mine up.
3 of them showing the different stages, I love it.
I want to have the Vader with two stormies on each side in a display as well. I have that set-up from the Tomy mini-dioramas; with the commtech Vader/stormies; and up to the 12" stuff. I fear if they ever release Sideshow 1/4 Stormtroopers, because I'll need two :'(

Vader and one stormie just wouldn`t quite cut it ;D
I've got a question...They gave me 3 choices when they got the items.
How do you know about shipping from them? When I placed my order, there was no shipping option to select. Do they send it EMS if it is over a certain cost or was there a shipping option I missed? :-\
I don`t collect any of the statues, busts or other high end stuff (Well, MR FX sabers I get). So I kind of justify it that way.

I'll be on eBay trying to round out the "main" Star Wars cast bidding as 'zachd'. :)
How do you know about shipping from RoBBy.jp?
They gave me 3 choices when they got the items.
I guess they wait till your order is boxed up and ready to go. It is the one thing
I`m not big on at RoBby, no shipping prices.
I could pick EMS, SAL or Surface. I was excited and took EMS, next time SAL for
sure, I can wait the extra time.
They also have the TRU set (http://www.toytokyo.com/shopping/index.php/page/product/product_id/4396) for $74.99 (I have no idea if this is a good price or not).
Dale, check your PMs.
And if this works out - thanks Tony :-*
I received my e-mail registration membership for RoBBy.jp and pre-ordered Series 5. 8)And if this works out - thanks Tony :-*
Damn straight! Thanks Tony. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a020.gif)
Well I managed to register myself and my "company" at Robby.jp, but it looks like Series 4 is already sold out. At least I assume so, because the shopping cart simply says CLOSED for this Series.

Spanky's is sold out, HLJstill doesn't show it listed anymoreshows it as discontinued (http://www.hlj.com/product/MEDKUB-208A) and no sign of it at BBTS.com.
The search for Series 4 continues... :-\
edit... I did find a set of Series 4 (not a case of 12) for $59.99 at Toy Tokyo (http://www.toytokyo.com/shopping/index.php/page/product/product_id/4857). They also have the TRU set (http://www.toytokyo.com/shopping/index.php/page/product/product_id/4396) for $74.99 (I have no idea if this is a good price or not).
Are we certain that if you order 4 boxes from Robby.jp that we will get a master case?
This message it to let you know that the following merchandise has been shipped to you from HobbyLink Japan.
So Brent, did you go for a box of 12 or a Master Case?
I'm going to open it now.
Master Case is on the way!

Mine just came in too. It's sitting up in SF. Hopefully it'll get here by tomorrow. Fingers crossed. EMS does come in on Saturday AND Sunday by the way.
Interesting to note that the Vader/Han/Luke chase are not being snapped up at the $90-100 price range.
If anyone happens to get two Luke Trooper's please keep me in mind for a trade. I have a Han for you. yujun, I would love to trade with you, but due to the United States and Singapore thing I would rather trade with someone closer by. Hope you understand.

And Tony, did you get BOTH Luke and Han Stormie chases there, as it sounds?! I thought it was either/or, but not both... ???
What happened with that other Fett auction with both chases in it? Did it go this crazy too, since it's got the vinty one in it as well?
Brent, complete set of 9 for just over $300 with shipping.

not some guy.. its UNDISPUTED!! haha
speculating is dangerous business and seldom pays off.
Thanks for the info, Tony. I`m guessing I will get Han also, as we both got
from RoBby.
I see someone listed an assload of kubs today, and I think he was the one that
won the 2 boba chase figs recently for some ungodly sum.

"Ungodly" is a relative description. Yes, I admit, I had to take out Undsputed to get those chases, however the Vintage Fett was the one I needed to complete my collection. In fact, I was getting close to just opening one of my BAPE's and putting it in a baggie. Noone seemed to have any Vintys available.
And, yes I have recently put up a butt load of s4 bricks as I am trying to recoup my 3 case investment. Also, am hawking my perfectly new 400% Fett to help ease the pain of my recent expenditures. Not made of money, though a nice case of Kub Fever may portray me as such.
Anyhow, long, long time lurker. Love all the posts; this is a great gang here!
There is absolutely no merrit in the Hong Kong/Japan split. There are plenty of Luke's and Hans for sale here.Thanks for the info, Tony. I`m guessing I will get Han also, as we both got
from RoBby.
I honestly think that the Luke/Han Stormtrooper thing has nothing to do with Hong Kong and Japan assortments. I got Han in my case from Spanky and yet they have a Luke available on their site. Also many ebay sellers had both right from the get go. Just a thought is all. Maybe there is a chance you will be surprised. :)
Okay so here are my beautiful diagrams again. Please note I had to flip the boxes over in the master case to get them like that.

Just wanted to drag this back to the front (after it sunk to 7-8 pages back)...
Am I correct in hearing that Padawan found the Chases in Box 1 and 4, but Simon found the Chase in Box 3 and 4 - correct?
And, it sounds like Tony found the Luke/Vader chase in a middle box as well.
Sounds like the Stormie Twins are definately in "Box 4" and Vader/Luke Chase is in box 3 (or possibly Box 1).
Anyone care to test that theory with their Master Case? :)
Jeff
This order has just shipped. You should receive a shipping notice shortly.
Indy.......Indy.......Indy........Indy.........Indy.........Indy....................
Oh Indy goes back to Series 2 when they had the Indiana Jones chase figure. Brent was waiting on his box from HLJ and was hoping to get the Indy chase and he got excited and kept posting Indy.......Indy..... ;D
Sadly Brent did not score an Indy out of the box. :'(
with the japan shipment, i found the chases in box 3 and 4.
however with the hk side, i found the chases in box 1 and 4..
I love that Bespin Luke has a lightsaber hilt as well as an ignited saber. ;D Just awesome!
Indy.......Indy.......Indy........Indy.........Indy.........Indy....................Don't start that again. Remember how disapointed you got last time.
nilito, I got your stuff out today if you didn't read your message at KW yet. :)
I also agree that Darth Vader is the best Kubrick ever.
Ok, had our kub opening party tnonight (bricsk and beer!)

The beer part is fairly obvious :P
Apparently, you guys should have ordered some pizza too. ;)
Thanks to my good bud Dale, my Wicket army-building empire has begun! He threw one in the last package that I bought off of him. What a guy. ;)
But my daughter loves Kubricks too. As soon as I brought these out, she was all over them. Apparently the "Ages 14 and up" warning on the box doesn't apply.
Wicket and Wicket were visiting Tatooine and got lost, but luckily a Jawa was kind enough to pick them up. If you look close, the bumper sticker says "my other vehicle is a Sandcrawler."
Anywho, our layout was the same as the first one show here, so I played
pyschic when I tossed him the vader chase Box :o

So, you found your chases in Boxes 1 and 4 like Padawan did?
Just to clarify, was it a HK box or a Japan box?
Jeff
Thanks for the coupon Adam, Looks like it will come in handy (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5987673175&category=751&rd=1) :-X
1. Is "old Anakin" part of the normal Vader figure or is it a chase as well?
2. Is it possible to get Luke and Han variants in the same box or is one limited to HK?
Thanks Jeff! Now... where to order? Got any suggestions for that? Who has the lowest prices on a box of 12. That's always what I go with. A box. Then I buy the figures I didn't get.
How much did you pay for your box? Or if you got a case, how much per each box?

Kubrick secret "boba fett"set of 3 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5987860690&fromMakeTrack=true)
So,
My Kubricks were delivered today via EMS (yes, they were delivered on a Sunday afternoon - weird!).
I ordered a Master Case (at a reasonable price) from one of my asian trading pals but instead of a master case, I recieved four boxes of 12... all of which were OPENED. (http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/mad.gif)
He apologized and offered "Sorry I must have mis-understood what you wanted. That's all I had to send you". ::)
Serves me right for not getting my pre-order into RoBBy.jp or HLJ in time. Anyway, I don't think we'll get any chases, because each of the boxes is laid out like Simon's non-chase box description:
BOX:
1. Vader
2. Vader
3. Vader
4. Stormtrooper
5. Stormtrooper
6. Vader
7. Stormtrooper
8. Stormtrooper
9. Emperor
10. Nien Nunb
11. Hoth Han
12. Bespin Luke
I was left with 2 choices - just keep them OR send them back and eat like $80-90 on the shipping cost (since I'd have to pay to ship them back and then he'd ony refund the price of the Kubrick boxes, but not the shipping too). :-\
Since I didn't want to waste the cash, I decided to keep them. At least he did send me back a bit of my money to kind of apologize, so that was something at least.
So, my Kubys are here, but I've only got 6/9 of a set. Guess I will have to go the eBay route and chase those last 3... :'(

Jeff, sorry to hear this, it`s one of my nightmares.

Or maybe, based on the highly successful MN Club and the relatively new SoCAL Club, he's planning on starting up the Saskatchewan JediDefender.com Star Wars Collector Club?
There's what, four other people in Saskatchewan? :P Maybe the dip**** is starting his own store for real. Enough with pharmacy, small town Saskatchewan demands toys!
Well, as a follow up to my story:
The Dude and his two friends (in Japan) opened up 3 Master Cases between them. I thought I was getting one of the Master Cases they ordered and they were spiltting the other two, but that was not the case (obviously).
It sounds like what I got was 3 non-chase boxes (they opened the boxes to see which had the chase by the order of the individual boxes in the box of 12) and then one box that was re-assembled after the chases were pulled out. He feels bad about the situation and he still claims that it really was just a language barrier misunderstanding that led to me getting what I got.
Looking back through the e-mails, I did notice that the word "sealed" disappeared after the first few exchanges and his final message did say "factory master case". I guess I just assumed "factory master case" still meant "sealed master case" like it did earlier in the e-mails and not 4 searched boxes put back into the "factory master case" for shipping. Yeah, it's hard to believe but he claims that what he thought I really wanted was the Kubrick Cardboard Master Carton (like someone buys a master case from Asia just for the cardboard box ::)).
Regardless of whether I believe him or not, he isn't selling any of the chases on eBay and hasn't in the past for that matter. I've had a couple of other deals with him in the past for stuff (he got me an Eopie during Episode 1 and a few other HTF things for cost on two other occasions) and I have always been treated fairly by him on shipping costs and things like that in the past.
I'll just chalk it up to a bad case of buyer beware and I guess I avoid dealing with him in the future. :(
I'm taking some pictures as I go. :)
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Kubricks/Open%20Parcel.jpg)
why is ur master case different??!?
mm.. u better start opening and check..
Oh ****! It's not packed the same as the last time and like the others posted, looks like a repack! :'(
Matt, I stand by my word that you will get a sealed box, I will only touch the boxes that the glue has come undone.
I'll be back in a bit, taking a break.
Did the seller replace the chase figures with other non chase figures? I mean did you get the full 48 figures with no chases?
My Master Case is a ******* Repack! >:(

Thats cool Dale, but don't fill my end of the deal, and screw yourself. I think we should contact the seller, and demand some answers before doing anything.
I don't think theres much we can do Matt, HLJ is sold out so an exchange would be out of the question.
The box it was shipped in is larger then the last one I got. The 3 boxes that opened on the bottom maybe from shipping as there is a lot of room for them to move around.
I'm think it would be best to stay with what we have.
It came from HLJ yujun, Japan. There a distributor.

Matt, your box is sealed. There is a good chance right now that you have 2 Han or 2 Luke chase figures. This maybe a Master Case just repacked in another box to ship, then again... :-\
So far it has followed Jon's and by like looks of it, Simon's placement of only the 2 outer boxes. Mine has followed Jon's to the "T".
Matt, I will send this to you within the next 2 days. We will work out the total cost after I get my CC statement.
When you receive the box and open the little bastards up and if you do get ethier of the 2 chases, all I ask that one of them be mine. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. :)
Your box has been carefully wrapped with large bubble wrap. Now I gotta find a different box. ;D
I'll send you a PM shortly Matt.

forget to add,, the placements were the same as mentioned as the others..
Did anyone get a Master case from Robby yet? Was it a repack or a sealed master case. I am getting worried about series 5.
IMO what happened to you was a scam. Have you recieved any money back? I mean, if you get a Master case, you need those chases to make it worth while. I'd be asking for at least $120 for the fact that there were no chases. That is unless you got the Master Case at a discounted rate.

That's what I already told him too, Simon. I'd say he needs to be compensated close to the current market value of the 3 chase figures that were excluded (less the price of the 3 regular versions in their place). Considering the 3 chases collectively, and conservatively, go for about $240, I'd be asking for at least $200 back. >:(
Thanks. Need my box to arrive first though. Must have patience on the stormtrooper twins, I think the price will come down yet.

It seems that the price for the chases are dropping...Luke/Vader Chase (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5988159585&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEDW%3AIT&rd=1) went for $53
and Chase Han (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5988160091&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEDW%3AIT&rd=1) went for $57.99.
Anyhow, now I am being murdered on eBay for mislabeling my auctions as "Series4" instead of "Series 4." But hey, I can sleep at night.OOOOOO! :o *proceeds to army-build on the lovely 2 Trooper auctions* Thumbs up! Thanks - I almost missed those. :)

Well, I did get a refund of $60 from the guy on Sunday (which I passed along to those who bought from me, it worked out to $15 off each box) and according to an e-mail I got today, the guy is going to send me his chase Luke Vader tomorrow.
Production numbers up so chase value is down?
Production numbers up so chase value is down?
I don't think so. Personally I think that no one messed around with getting this series. Meaning what product there was to go around was all bought up at once. Because of this the market is kind of flooded right now. With series 3 for example, you could still get a case of 12 many weeks after the release date. Not so with series 4. I think in a months time chases will start drying up considerably on ebay.
Actually, I think production numbers might be way up on this series. Demand has been growing for the Star Wars line and since production is based on pre-orders by retails it stands to reason that there was ordered and therefore produced than for past Series. For that reason there might be alot more chases around, as Brent suggested. That is unless Medicom capped the prodution numbers, which would not be beyond then.I saw quite a few websites that cut off ordering after awhile, so maybe
Can someone post an updated version in the other collectibles thread, lock the thread, and make it a sticky as a reference point?
I am trying to find images of the new chase Vader and an image of the 1st and 2nd Vinyl Fetts. Time consuming to say the least.
Unfortunately, Dale beat me to Dan's loose Holo Leia, even though he doesn't even open his stinkin' figures! Bastard. >:(

Good looking out, again. I just ordered me one. Tracking ebaY is to much of a headache for me to save a few bucks.

Yeah, its getting scary! Too many coming for my wallet to handle.
Yeah, its getting scary! Too many coming for my wallet to handle.
Seriously. I would much rather have them release better and more imaginative figures more slowly, rather than pumping out sets that include some repaints.

I think it's awesome that they're putting out another Toys R Us set. Let's face it. Last year's sold like hot-cakes. And seeing another l'il set to add on to the collection, I'm getting excited again. These little SW figures'll do that, I guess.Disagree. They sold like hotcakes in Japan in anticipation of big $$ in the secondary market. But currently they sell for less than Dale and I initially paid, unless it's a high BIN or the reserve is high. This is the same as the Target exclusive Hasbro figures. Patience will be rewarded here.
I think we're going to see more Ewok's Brent. Chirpa, Teebo, Lumat and Warok are left. Paploo, Wicket, Logray and Romba are now done.
:) It was funny reading those first few posts back in 2002. I don't hear many "cute" and "gorgeous" references any more. Just sighs and groans about the current prices. $85 for and Earlybird Set!! :o I remember selling quite a few for a $95 but you'd be lucky to get one for $120 now. Matt, you are the original Kubrick King, for your foresight, rather than the size or your collection. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Hey Matt, what are you missing thus far in your Kuby collection besides the new series?
Let's not forget they're making TWO series (4 & 5) this year. The previous series were all done once a year, were they not?
Hey Matt, what are you missing thus far in your Kuby collection besides the new series?
Missing the 3 obvious ones: Carded Fett, Sandtrooper & Vader
Missing openers of Droids Fett, Holo Leia, Rebo boxset (have carded/boxed sets though)
Missing Chase Logray and Vinyl Jawa
Missing Series 4
So I'm kinda lagging right now. Really need to get those Series 3 chases, so I can focus on finding on a nice deal on Series 4. Glad I waited on the new ones though, since they're really starting to drop a lot over the past week...
Ten Numb actually does have a new sculpt torso. I'm sure they'll look nice all displayed with the others, though.
:)
I'm not hyped at all about the new TRU set. :-\
Has anyone considered that it is possible that Medicom's Star Wars license may be up soon? It could be the reason we are getting so many rehashes and so much product in such little time. Probably not the case, just a thought.
Nataku has gotten me a little bit into these but I refuse to be a completist. So far I only got: Fett, Sandtrooper, Han Carbonite, Stormtrooper and Vader.
I'd love to get one of those 400% Fetts or the Medicom Vader, Fett or Stormtrooper.
Are my only options eBay on these?
Just don't let those few I got you hooked on drag you all the way down like so many others before you... ;)
Jeff
>:( ;)
Thanks to OlBenKenobi, I completed my series 4 set today. ;D
I have all three full sets of the Tomy mini-dioramas. I really like those things and they're pretty cheap too. Boxes contain two full sets. Just waiting to see the next series (4) and expecting it to be an ROTS series, though I much prefer the OT stuff.
:'(
My luck continues to suck the big one.
after getting the package, i opened immediately and compared to my 'original' logray..
first, the baggie was different and i noticed it was was re-sealed.. the bag was very new and clear.. whiich is unlike medicom.. then i realised there was no box but that was already mentioned in the auction..
then i look at the weapon.. it was different from the original one.. this one,, the handle was slightly thicker than the normal one.. plus the 'feather' colors were different..
then.. i compared the colors.. this one was paint'brushed.. but i must say it looks exactly the same..
u wont notice unless u see it..
the white cap on the head is paint brushed.. the color is differnt from the original one.. and its still rough.. and the kubrick is slightly larger than the normal one.. i guess because it was mould from the original piece..
the colors of the feather on the weapon are different.. hard to tell from the pics but if i can point out to u the differences face to face, u'll be convinced..
i dun think a casual collector will know.. its quite well done.. u wont know unless u're very experienced..
i realised it was a fake cause of the legs.. normal ones has ball joints while the fake ones dun.. so when u move one side, the other will move too...
and the paint job.. its quite hard to tell though unless u compare the real and the fake one..
Hey... hey. Big congrats on the Luke/Vader and on a single box too. :o 8)Thanks DSJ!
So is the 2rd or 3rd different placement of the Luke/Vader? Plus Simon had a different placement with the 2 regular boxes. Strange.
I don`t know what series this is, 3 maybe? I never got any before, but HLJ had an ok deal on a box of 10 of them. There is 7 in this series, so I guess we won`t get 2 full sets. It has Yoda, Falcon, AT AT, Xwing a few others.
What are the other series?
Hey, congrats on that :D
I'm a little annoyed and suspicious now that I see your box wrapped in plastic. Dagnabbit, mine wasn't. :-\I don`t know what series this is, 3 maybe?

Nope, series 1 had only five pieces in it: AT-AT, X-wing, Falcon, Vader + two stormies, Droids. You can see it at this guy's collection underneath the matrix figures and in front of the SW stuff (http://www.oohyeahzone.com/collection/cb/cb2d-wall-right.html)
Series 2 was mostly OT I think, but a bit of a mix: Boba with carbonite, Maul/Qui-Gon, Han/Chewie, Yoda (OT), Luke skiff. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5988659153&category=2476&rd=1)
Series 3 was AOTC: Slave I, Yoda (PT), Obi's starfighter, Anakin speeder, AT-TE+. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5989122490&category=19009&rd=1)
The set of seven (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5988774396&category=50269&rd=1) you speak of is a re-release of some of the earlier stuff. For me that's terribly disappointing that they did this series before putting out new ones. It explains why there's not a new series out at this time though, as they were about due.
Intersting point on the market being flooded with customs especially the Han. Are we certain that there is absolutely no difference in the Han and the Han stormtrooper head?
As yujun says, it's difficult to find a Luke head to spare though. Only one per box with this assortment so maybe there won't be Luke fakes in abundance since people have to break up complete sets to get that head. I can't see people using heads from an early bird set :P But those darn Han heads are a dime a dozen :-\
So I finally got my Logray today from that muthaf**ker Madsontoys-or-whatever. And upon super close inspection (comparing with the one at kubism.net), I'm pretty sure it's a fake. But man, thank god for you guys. I don't think I'd ever have figured it out.
You guys know if this guy really gives money back? I'm gonna start hounding him...

Hi Matt,all the kubrick we are selling are 100% authentic and new.I know we will have many questions about why we have many Logray kubrick.
Actually,my friend work in a toy shop in Japan.So he can get many kubrick from the dealer
if we buy a lot.So we bought like 50 of the Logray Kubrick.We have another star wars Kubrick.But we only sell for Local market in Hong Kong.We will have many Kubrick like Special Force,Disney,Marvel Kubrick etc.But now we only want to sold all the Logray first.And when we get those kubrick from the seller.They only gave us like 30 boxes.So sometimes we have box and sometimes we dont have.Thats why we said you can email us to find any rare kubrick.Cause we have many stock but most of them sell for Hong Kong and Taiwan.Only some of them sell on ebay.According to the Lucasfilm policy.The Star Wars Kubrick cant import from the authorized dealer to the states.So you can find all of the Star wars Kubrick are imported from Japan or Hong Kong by the seller directly.So we sell those on ebay.I hope you can understand because our poor english.Also if we are making the fake one.Why we only make the Logray?Why dont we just make the other such
as Boba Fett,Darth Vader or some crazy price Kubrick or be@rbrick?I'm a Kubrick collector also.So we just want to share all the product we can easy to find over here to get some extra money to buy some kubrick from anywhere they can easy to find.We spend all the money to buy Kubrick from ebay or Japan Yahoo.We never took money from Paypal.So what we have earned?Also nowaday I really have seen some fake be@rbrick in Taiwan.But not Kubrick.Especially unbreakable
Star Wars Kubrick.I only saw some kubrick from Medicom look like fake.Cause they sold to the market without inspection.They are chaper but they still authentic.If you need.I can send you some photo for our store.Thanks for your questions and I hope we can share some experience about collect kubrick.
Speaking of madsontoys, I dropped him a line on eBay the other day to inquire about his plethora of Lograys, and mentioned that I was interested in buying one (not really), but had seen his name pop up a couple time around the net regarding possible customs/fakes that he was selling. Just curious as to what he'd have to say in his defense... This was his response:QuoteHi Matt,all the kubrick we are selling are 100% authentic and new.I know we will have many questions about why we have many Logray kubrick.

I think the colors of the Stormie Luke and Bespin Luke are slightly different shades. What do you guys think?
Also I think the hair is different between the Earlybird/Cared Luke and Bespin/Stormie Luke.
My box of Series 4 Kubricks arrived today! I'm just about to tear into them... :D

nilito / yujon,
I may have missed this earlier. Did you pieces come saled with in the plastic bag and box? If so, can you or did you look closely to see how the bags were sealed and if they are different at all?
IDBK
It's a damn good fake if it is one. I don't think it is the whole truth, but they could be real. Possibly a friend of his works at the factory and he nabbed some for him. Or he got hold of a stole mold and then produced his own. Or maybe it is the truth. Who knows? I wouldn't buy one from him though.
Have at them boy, don't get high on the Kuby fumes. :D
wow.. very nice pics.. ;D
maybe i wil go find 4 vaders too!
I bit the bullet and picked up a Stormtrooper Luke off eBay. :-\
With that purchase and the make-up Vader Chase that is in the mail, I just need to track down a good deal on a Stormtrooper Han Figure.
Anyone have an extra? ;)
I have to admit, I'm a bit puzzled on the price. I can't decide if I should be happy that I beat the "eBay price" for the complete set of 9 or if I should be concerned that I just spent $192 on 10 little plastic men. :-\
Just a question, even if people are able to make a good custom of the Han and Luke Stormie where will they get the helmet from.
If you pop a head of the stormtrooper is it hollow and does it come off with no damage?
DBK
I did a search on some of these, but can anybody give me any information about these bootleg Kubrick figures:
(http://i3.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/46/73/b0_1_b.JPG)
There's also a clone 5-pack and ANH, ESB, and ROTJ sets that I've found on eBay. Are these worth getting? I'm not that hardcore into collecting Kubricks, but I have some of the "cooler" ones (Fett, Stormie, Vader, etc) and I would definitely like to add a Scout Trooper to my list. Any thoughts on these bootlegs?
Also, I was thinking about carding all of my Kubricks (like vintage cards), does anybody have any idea what I could use for a bubble? I've heard matchbox bubbles are about the right size, but I checked at my Target and they didn't look right.... :-\
This whole damned custom/fake issue is really starting to make me nervous, especially since I usually play it patient and get those things later on, and not when they first hit (which unfortunately gives these crackpots more time to fake their wares). I really wish Medicom would start adding a slight detail to the chase figures that makes them unique from any others figures (like for the Luke/Han Stormies), so the fakes aren't so damned easy to create. :-\

Well, my Chase Vader/Luke arrived on Wednesday and my Stormtrooper Luke arrived in the mail yesterday, so now I'm 8/9 done with Series 4 and just waiting on Stormtrooper Han... :)Its like crack though >:(
Yeah, definitely. I still can't believe I dropped $200 on 10 little plastic men, but eh - I would have just spent the money on something else stupid like a vacation or fancy dinner or a vacuum steam cleaner or something. ;)

Very nice score Brent... a great price even with shipping!
On another note, I was a bit anxious in ordering Stormtrooper Han...
I now actually have TWO orders placed for him. I thought the first order I placed (from Mopiku Toys) didn't go through as I got an out-of-stock notice, so I ordered from Ningyoushi. Today though, I got ship notices from both places. :-[
I guess I might have a set of both Stormtrooper Han and Luke to sell when all is said and done... :-X

Time for round two with a linky to eBay rules & regulations on photo theft. ;)
Wow, had no idea that was considered illegal. I tried changing the picture with a generic photo I found online of the set but it doesn't seem to allow the change. Thanks for filling me in, very good to now for future auctions.
we have the normal series, the TRU sets, the exclusive cards, the 2005 cards, 400%.. wat else are we missing??

So collective survey time:
Han chase - Ningyoushi or ebay?
Ok folks, here is the big opening:
YAY!!! :) :) :)
I don't know if anyone else tried it, but I strongly recommend NOT trying to put Luke's Stormtrooper helmet on him.
I was checking out the figures this morning with my daughter, and thought it would be cool. So I popped off his hair, and put on the helmet. The freakin thing stuck! Really stuck too...when I tried to pull it off, Luke's head came off his neck, so deep in the helmet that I couldn't get it out.
My wife had the bright idea of soaking it in hot water (I should have remembered the trick from my vintage collecting days), and once it was a tiny bit soft, I was able to pull the head out with tweezers.
Either way, don't do it! :)
And, as an FYI, this is the best picture I could get of all my Han's lined up:
(http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/kubricks/tn_hancompare.jpg) (http://www.jedidefender.com/image.pl?http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/kubricks/hancompare.jpg)
(clicky for bigger photo)
You can kinda see in the picture that Han's head is definately a paler shade and actually, the hair-peice is slightly different color brown on all three of mine.
Congrats, Matt! That's sad about the helmet, though... I liked the idea of them being in active disguise. :-\A full list of ALL kubricks would be a monumental task, to be sure.
The idea of vehicles is pretty great. I really like my lightcycles, the "Great Escape" motorcycle and the various bikes are great. I think I'd buy any good "riding" vehicle or anything that showed them off. The Special Forces van is kind of cool, but ... it wouldn't be nearly as cool as a landspeeder (where you could seem them hanging out) or even (fond wish) one of the basic ships like the A or X Wings.
There's several Indy's (and Master Chiefs and 3 Beakers...?) on eBay right now, FWIW. I might try to pick up one of these at last.
Has anybody compiled a full list of *all* the Kubricks out there? I've actually made a fairly complete list of what I've seen to date, but I'm curious as to whether there's any other public lists that I should check out and try to merge with before putting this on the web. (No pictures at this point, mind you.)

there'll be plently of master chiefs.. there was a game fair in HK recently and i heard halo2 kubricks were on sale at the microsoft booth... n i thought they were limited! :-\
but no more $40BINs.. hee.. i got 2 myself btw.. one for my friend, one for myself.. maybe i will try to sell on ebay to try to get some seller ratings.. or maybe paint chief red..
Got my case of Series 4 Kubricks from Jeff a couple days ago, but unfortunately, no chase Vader. So that means the other two guys that he's giving the other two cases to now have a 50/50 shot at it. Who were those 2 lucky fellas again, Jeff?
I don't know if I've mentioned it in here yet, but yes I bought a second Master Case of Series 4 off eBay a week or so ago. (I'm a glutton for punishment I guess ::)).
The third box was earmarked for JesseVader08 but when he passed on it, I offered it up to my brother instead who pulled the Chase Vader (I just got off the phone with him).

Oh man, that box with the Luke/Vader chase was going to Jesse2. Oh well, the chances you take. Could have been a hit and miss.
Just testing out my new avatar ;D.
Thanks Dale.

Ah, ****! Did you send that to me last week Matt, and I brainfarted on it? That sounds about right, I think. Sorry. My bad! :-[
I've got a couple of questions, does anyone know of a site with a detailed list of the SW Kubricks that have been released? It would be nice if it had the series & exclusives, because I'm confused by the carded figures (what's the deal with them?)
I'm a newbie to SW Kubricks. I have 4 of them right now, and I don't know if I want to go for these because some of the chases look cool & I don't want to go paying crazy money for those and the exclusives.

my 2nd question is, where do you order your master cases from? To those that do, do you go through and open every box until you find the chases and then sell off the opened extra figures?
Thanks in advance
Why would you take it out of the plastic to sell it?
Jesse (and whoever else lent a hand) - nice work on the checklist.

Yeah, that would be a tough call. As mentioned it's going to be tough with customs and not getting a good look inhand.
and heck, with a heat sealer it wouldn't be too hard to get them back in the baggie either. :-\
Jeff
My master cases from robby and bbts were standard sealed medicom, but the hlj was shrinkwrapped together.
Scott
And comparing it with my other real SW Kubricks, I find that the hands are the biggest tip-off. The fake hands are just so hard and more plastic-y. In real 'bricks, you can grab one with your fingernail (I guess) and try to widen it slightly to tell that it's softer - and real. The other's like hard plastic.
:)
I'll bet he just got hold of some test run Lograys or prototypes from Hong Kong. They have to make several before they finally get the one they release and he probably knew someone at the factory or "knew the guy who knew the guy". There's no way someone would go through all that trouble for $100. It's just not worth it. Especially when you have all the suspicion. Did you notice how shiny those Toys R Us 2 figs looked? They were prototypes too probably. They had the same sheen as the boot Lograys. Just a thought.
PM coming on Han.
And series four is done ;D
Anyone have any extra acrylic cases for a Droids Fett or a Holographic Leia or know where I can possibly get them? I contacted Oscar a while back and they never returned my email.
Shipping costs depended on the total value of the order. For order below $50 CDN, shipping charge will be $12 CDN. For order above $50 CDN, shipping charge will be $15 CDN. This standard shipping rate applies to both Canada and the United States customers where the total weight of the order do not exceed 3lbs. If the total weight of the order exceed 3 lbs., a special invocie will be sent to customer
Oscar is a great person to deal with, I have to get a hold of him for some cases.
Not too bad for the Luke/Vader chase, Canadian company. I checked out his shipping and a little high, maybe I'm reading it wrong.QuoteShipping costs depended on the total value of the order. For order below $50 CDN, shipping charge will be $12 CDN. For order above $50 CDN, shipping charge will be $15 CDN. This standard shipping rate applies to both Canada and the United States customers where the total weight of the order do not exceed 3lbs. If the total weight of the order exceed 3 lbs., a special invocie will be sent to customer

Gregorbian, your looking for a Fett aren't you?
Series 1 Boba Fett Regular (http://cgi.ebay.com/Kubrick-Star-Wars-Series-1-Boba-Fett-from-US_W0QQitemZ5991992665QQcategoryZ48972QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) BIN... $17.00.
Just a quick note on madsonstoys. I just noticed the seller is now No longer a registered user (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=madsonstoys).
He also has Holo Leia and Luke carded up for decent prices. A little high for me on the Luke since I'm planning on opening it.

Han Stormie custom.
Like to see how high this would go.
I do believe that I just won a Han Stormie (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5990655699&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) for $47 shipped. Huh. First time I've ever nabbed a specific chase for more than $10 or so. I feel rather dirty now... :-\
It looks OK though, right? Nothing fishy as far as I can tell...
P.S Bad link there, Brent. Fix the opening bracket, eh.
P.S Bad link there, Brent. Fix the opening bracket, eh.
I have to do everything myself, eh. ;D
My Luke chase has arrived from Matt B, very nice. Now all I need is the Han to arrive and I'll be all set. 8)
After I won mine for $43 ($47 shipped), I browsed through all the other Han Stormie completed auctions, and it looks like I got the only cheap one. I didn't see anything else that ended under $55, and a lot of them were up in the $60's and $70's as well. That's why I was asking if anything looked fishy with the one that I won...
Just one of those lucky grabs, I guess.
Of course, if I knew about this place, I would have just tried to trade it to fill some holes in my collection.
Ebay is funny, I am betting if I showed the picture of the box as well, it would have fetched more. Also, I ended that auction on Sunday. Should have ended it on Saturday evening which is what I normally do. That is when all the snipers prowl. The last few weeks I have been giving Sunday a try.
I can guarantee that the Han you won is on the up and up and you have nothing to worry about.

robby's case of 12 ard 62us.. excluding shipping..
Oh please release me, let me go... :-*

Maybe later, when it gets unpacked, but not now. I'm not going to see him for a while, so he might as well suffocate.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank DSJ again for the head's up on that Boba Fett 8)
Is anyone taking preorders for series 5 yet?
I just placed my pre-order yesterday at HLJ for 2 boxes of 12 for series 5.
Where can I preorder series 5?

Do you guys realize that a master case from Robby.Jp is only about $230 if you pre-order it? You can't beat that.

Thanks

I know this is old hat to you hardcore Kubrickaholics ;)
I received these in the mail today:
<<SNIP>>
Nice grabs though! Is that the Fett from rupinthe3?
He`s a great seller, super fast shipping and product is always top notch.
I'll also add my praise for rupinthe3. I bought a TRU box set and an Early Bird set (two separate purchases) from him and both arrived in absolutely fantastic condition. His prices are outstanding and he doesn't gouge you on shipping.
Has anyone invited him here? I know Matt's bought a few things off of him too.
I like the speeder and clone set quite a bit! I passed on the boxed sets though,
My buddy had them and the only figure I would have wanted was the Vader, but
Medicoms is WAY better. If I can get them cheap I`ll grab them.
...
I got the red clone with pack, I see you got the yellow, I wonder what other colors
they did? I think these might be the only 2 colors though.

Well I don't want a case a HLJ is too expensive. Where do you guys get these for $70?
On a side note, 100 pages on the thread, thats awesome!
Well then, I guess you are screwed unless you quickly learn Japanese....
OR, you could click the (http://robby.jp/images/button_en.gif) button like it says to do on the site.

:P
Dang, that was fast. All gone.
Great, and I just bought 20. Just curious how much these cost when they were out before? Mine ended up being around $4.50 a piece and I'm expecting at least a little refund in return. I don't really need them either. One of those "just in case' things.

The shipping was high. I tried selling some a couple of years back but they were really heavy. 8 was about $25 to the States from Japan.
I'd never buy one of those Venom-Punishers that weren't seled in the bag. Alot of fake ones around. I come across them quite often, but they are pretty expensie over here.
Anyone have Vaders and Stormtroopers they're trying to get rid of? Let me know. I'm looking to buy a bunch. Thanks!!!
Thanks to artooa6 I now have my Holy Grail of my SW Kubrick collection!
I got my Early Bird Set !! yippeee ! ;D

Congrats! Good price too, if I recall.
Just to let everyone know, the guy I bought those Kubrick cases from IS refunding almost $20 in shipping. He seems alright.Very cool, good to see some honesty on eBay.
Nice score on the Rebo Band though. Bet you wished you got that opener Droids R2 that I snatched up though, eh?! :-*
That would all be moot if Andy Tong wasn't such an ******* >:(
You mean you guys didn't even get your money back?I paid immediately on a BIN...never saw the money again...bastard >:(
I wouldn't want to be in his shoes if I bumped into one of you guys. :o
But he was back on under another name shortly after. Dale's probably been cyber-stalking him since then.
(These are the last 20 cases i got!!).
Hmmm, I wonder who bought those last 20? (http://www.puppstheories.com/forum/html/emoticons/whistlingNEW2.gif)

Looks like it was some dude named Kimberly... that's a pretty lame name for a dude if you ask me. :P

So back to the actual topic of Kubricks for a moment here, you bunch'a assclowns... ::)
How long did it take for you guys to get approved for you Robby.jp membership? I think I'm going on almost a couple weeks now without hearing anything. Should I be worried?
Also, when was the ETA on the TRU boxset #2 that's coming out? Is it supposed to come before, or after, Series 5? I can't recall, and the thought of backtracking through this ominous thread makes me a little nervous...

I can resist no longer, a man can only lurk for so long.Hey Mono. Another Japanese based collector? Cool. Welcome. Make sure you get there 3am. I will never go to a Japanese Toy Show as long as I live. As some of you may recall, I ended up watching a procession of professional toy-show-goers walk out with 500 Medicom Vinyl Fetts before I had even advanced 1 step in the line. I heard it's not that much difference at any mjaor toy show in the world though.
some may know me from kubrickworld, I'll be posting here as well now.
"Sorry for being out of the loop, but 500 of the 1505 of what?"
Thats the ESB boba I think. Im lucky enough to be going to the wonder festival, and if I get there early enough I'll be picking myself up one. sounds like it may be only one per customer though, so cant take orders.

You and me both.
So what's your story with being out there in Japan? Business, travel, school, teaching English...? Where do you originally hail from? Judging by your spelling of "favourites", I might guess England.
So do you collect any other Star Wars stuff, or are you mostly just a Kubrick nut?

EDIT: Well, duh. We know that seller! 8) Were those yours, or did you recently purchase someone's collection, or just come across an extra of them for a good price? Hopefully one of the latter choices there...
Be careful Jesse, new seller with a 0 feedback raises a bit of a red flag with me. I'm sure there will be more on eBay.
Yeah, the Wicket is cool but too pricey. :-\
Wicket rocks. 8)
Check out the current bidder on those pieces of ****. ;)
Cool little suckers there!They were both damaged to some degree. The Sandtrooper I knew was damaged when I bought it about a year ago, but I recenly bought another one that is in better condition, so I sold it. The Vader got damaged in transit after I bought and paid for it. The seller refunded me a fair bit of it to me so it worked out well.
On another note, it looks like we've finally managed to nail down the current market value on some of the high-end carded stuff, since a seller actually had the balls enough to list the Vader and the Sandtrooper without a BIN on them. Check it out:

Oh, so those pieces of **** are cool but this isn't?
So either you guys seriously lied your asses off in your applications, or the dude is catching on to our little scheme here. Based on that response there, I'd guess most/all of you are going to get your memberships suspended after you order Series 5... :-\
I basically told him I dealt in Star Wars collectibles as a side business (totally untrue, mind you), and planned on ordering a couple Master Cases of the Kubricks for each new series that came out. That was about the jist of it.

Oh my God! These Kubricks go for that much? Damn! I guess I won't try to go after these things afterall. Wow! Those are on par with the vintage Kenner line. Yikes!

The Vader got damaged in transit after I bought and paid for it. The seller refunded me a fair bit of it to me so it worked out well.
FYI, I had a reseve and a BIN on it. Does that make me balless??? ;)
But I'm going to have to think a while longer.
Ya' know, I'm starting to think that I don't really need to display that "transition" Vader in the middle there. I think maybe I really only need two of them, one with helmet, and one without.
What's everyone else doing on that piece?
Nah, Emperor needs to be posed with two red guards. Just ask drewlam ;)
btw - Dale, I got my box on monday. Since I'm in somewhat cramped quarters at the moment, only Vader has made it out on display so far. Looking forward to putting the rest of them out.
someone pls do it with the rah vader and the upcoming rah stormies and we compare! ;D
does anyone find YODA's eyes werid? :-\
I wish they made him come with a snake.Snake would have been cool (hell, still might be a chase or something).
Here's my Kubrick "Most Wanted" list for the next few waves:

2. Yoda (3:12) w/Spirit Yoda Chase (1:96)
3. Slave Leia (3:12) w/ Boushh Chase (3:48)
4. The Emperor (1:12)
5. Jedi Luke (1:12)
6. Stormtrooper (1:12)
Wave 5: A New Hope
7. Snaggletooth (3:12) w/Blue Snag Chase (1:96)
8. Luke X-Wing Pilot (3:12) w/Wedge Antilles Chase (1:96)
9. TIE Pilot (3:12) w/DS Trooper Chase (3:48)
10. Walrusman (1:12)
11. Hammerhead (1:12)
12. Grand Moff Tarkin (1:12)
I love these guys, but I hope it doesn't go on for too many more series. One big question mark I have is if they will ever do new versions of any of the more exclusive stuff. Particularly, the early bird set. I would love to get a chewie, and a leia in white robes, but don't want to try hunting down/spending cash on the early bird set.
There is still a lot that they can do, but as mentioned, most of the core characters have already been done.
I'm going to guess that the next TRU box set will be a Droids series. C-3PO can be done easily with only changes in paint/plastic colour. What else would be included is a bit tough to pick. I'd like to see the R2 in here, but for the same reasons I listed for Drew above, I don't think it will happen. Jord Dusat, Kea Moll, Kez Iban and maybe Tig Fromm? I don't think we'll see Sise Fromm as it may be too hard to make a Kubrick that wide? Uncle Gundy?
I do believe that this is all Dales fault!!! >:(
As for Sise Fromm, they did do the Penguin from the Batman Movies and he is pretty wide compared to a normal Kuby...

How easy do you think that one could be faked?
I`ve only seen pics, but I think some of the more talented customizers here
could probably do it. Is there a hologram sticker on it somewhere? Not sure
if that could be faked very easily.
I think I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for a nice deal on a Vader/Stormtrooper combo next, and go from there. Little by little... :)

Well, after weeks of hunting them on eBay, I finally broke down and went for a Han Stormie from ningyoushi.com. $65 plus shipping, not so bad.
Plus my wife is getting me a nice case from Ikea. I am going to use foam core to make steps in the display sections, and have rows of Kubricks. I got pretty good instructions on how to do it from Founder over on Kubrickworld. Should be pretty sweet when its all done. It will take me a while though.

Jeff sent me a cool little gift package containing a Kubrick Vader w/ removable helmet. WOW!! These things are awesome!!! (AND a great big THANK YOU to Jeff, that made my day. :) )
No wonder you guys go crazy over these. Maybe I will buy a couple more that I like...

Kubrick Star Wars Sandtrooper Card with Case PARCO (http://cgi.ebay.com/Kubrick-Star-Wars-Sandtrooper-Card-with-Case-PARCO-PR_W0QQitemZ5999317192QQcategoryZ48972QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
He even had a Boba chase that went too.
Kubrick Star Wars 1:96 1:48 Boba Fett Darth Vader (http://cgi.ebay.com/Kubrick-Star-Wars-1-96-1-48-Boba-Fett-Darth-Vader-400_W0QQitemZ5999205240QQcategoryZ48972QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
Surely he couldn't be reselling them at a profit. Perhaps he is getting rid of his collection.
He posted over on the KW forum a few days back . . . he's just selling off all his Kubricks to concentrate on collecting some kinda Manga busts or statues!
His entire collection was still in sealed packaging, a lot of it was still box fresh ::)
Do you guys know a good place to buy single kubs?? I have snaged a few on ebay, but its kind of slow. Not many choices, even in the eBay stores.
Also is there a place to preorder the next wave with yoda?
a bit quiet nowadays.. any news when the TRU set will be released?? or any star wars kubrick gonna be released next? ::)
This being my first official order received from RoBBy.jp, I did get dinged with customs on the full amount which was expected so I will get dinged with Series 5.
This was mentioned before that you get dinged with customs so just another heads up. ;)
Hi all,Hi Kevbrick. Welcome.
Have been lurking for ages and thought i should show my face, as it were!
Great listening to all you other brickheads and your addiction!! I am not alone!!
Just seen a few things go on ebay and wondered if the bubble has finally burst?

Not great news (paying customs), but I'm not really surprised. I always end up paying customs when I bring stuff across the border from etailers.
On another note, I'm looking for Ewoks and Stormtroopers to create a Kubrick-style diorama, which I put in the Classifieds here (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=9524.0). Thanks to Jeff, Dale and Brent, I've got 3 Ewoks, but will need more for them to defeat a platoon of Stormtroopers (which I need more of too)!
... and single S1 Fetts for $40.
Simon,You were quick on the trigger there Scott. Yeah I ordered a couple for myself and got them in this week. I now have a wall of Kubricks when I compine the Star Wars, Marvel, Alien, Matrix, etc together. Looks cool man. You'll love 'em.
You are the bomb!

I would be all over that auction, 'cept his shipping is outragously high.

Who's auction?
Actually EMS is quite cheap when shipping the light stuff. Actaually, it sometimes costs more to send stuff to far North Japan using a domestic shipping service than it does to the US. Go figure.
And if you reckon that is high, check out the EMS on this auction.

Well it's not like shipping within the US, that's for sure.
BTW, did I mention I can ship stuff to the US cheaper than I can WITHIN Canada ::) At least for small packages. Talk about your ****** up postal system.
It's absolutely huge and heavy. It weighs about 7kg (25lbs), hence the $120 shipping.Actually EMS is quite cheap when shipping the light stuff. Actaually, it sometimes costs more to send stuff to far North Japan using a domestic shipping service than it does to the US. Go figure.

HOLY!
120 shipping? Is that way overpriced or is the death star thing really
that big/heavy?
On another note, WOW! Never seen that before, very cool.
Rupinthe3 has s4 up for sale. Its a semi-decent deal on all 9. Other stuff too.

anyway been reading kozumi wanting postal reforms.. how will it affect the postage rates in japan?Ha ha. He couldn't reform a Star Wars Transformer.
looks cool! do those cases have foot pegs? Im living in japan so the earthquakes knock over my toys (much to my wifes amusement!).

my intentions with thekubricks is to eventually frame them in a deep frame, then stick the frame on the wall. Im going to wait for the series to finish first, and until I have all the chases I feel neccessary.
earthquakes? do they happen often?

Hi Guys,
Well doomsday has hit me. Just when I finally complete the entire Star Wars Kubrick set, a family emergency arises. So I have just put up for auction every kubrick Star Wars set, Chase, box set, Carded, Parco's, dual 400% Fetts, and a crap load of Johnny lightning display cases. Not to mention my complete set of carded vintage fetts, etc. Kind of sick about it, but right now it is certainly for the best. I'm going to try and keep my non SW kubricks for as long as I can and hopefully I can begin buying these back some day. Spouse factor will decide, though! What kind of stinks is that I was going to spend this weekend setting up a display and taking pictures of the whole thing. I guess the good thing is that I failed to open anything, yet. Would have sucked if I opened everything and had to sell a day later. Oh well, I will still be around lurking from time to time...just a bit teary-eyed is all.

These are my guesses for the chases on Series 5...
Dagobah/Dirty R2-D2 Chase (from the Yoda Box)
Blue Snag (from the Red Snag Box)
Boushh (from the Slave Leia Box)
I don't really mind when they throw out a brand new figure as the chase - it kinda makes it more fun for me. I'd rather pay the cash for a new figure than a variant I guess.
I'd like to definitley see Boushh and a Blue Snag; however I wonder if a Blue Snag is a distinct poosibilty or not. Seeing as the chase or variant normally replaces one of the 4 out of 12 characters, will they really produce a ton of Red Snags to accomodate this. I can see army building with sandtroopers, ewoks, and jawas, but Red Snags?
Anyone seeing anything interesting on robby.jp? I'm looking occasionally to buy something else to maintain my "store" status, but it's not working very well. Last time I looked there was lots I wanted but it was past the order date :-\

The big thing I'm contemplating is the RAH Vader (removable helmet version). I want it, but haven't managed to justify it yet. I'd better make up my mind soon though, because the pre-order cutoff is Oct 17th. :-\
Just want to thank everyone who bid on my recent auctions; it certainly was an unbelievable gesture. I was really worried with about 12 hours to go, but was very satisfied with the outcome. I've taken today and tommorrow off from work in order to pack and ship everything, and the spouse has just run out to Sam's club to get some more bubble wrap. I'm trying to do my best Simon (ebay ID: Knunt) impersonation and personally reply to each bidder and get the stuff out the door as quickly and safely as possible. Thanks again guys for all of the support.

seems like a long wait for the new series... maybe I should be using the time to chase chases. ;D
I just saw luke storm (3 of them) listed for 33 BIN, if you still need
that one, its a good price. Just search for Star Wars Kubrick and they should
come up.
Ooh pretty. That was an eBay win, wasn't it?
DSJ, can you see if the helmet is removable? are there any other differences between it and the boxed version?
A nice little surprise waiting for me when I got home. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f060.gif)

However, it troubles me a bit that there does not seem to be as many releases planned for the Kubrick line as is per usual.

How so Scott? We received two regular series this year and there's a box TRU set on the way. Isn't that about par for the course? The Rebo band was an extra to be sure, but otherwise it seems fairly normal to me.
I've not been too anxious, waiting for the magic day each month (24th?) to see if anything is announced. I wasn't expecting anything until probably next spring with series 6. Maybe another box after the TRU set, like the Rebo bands timing, but that's about it.
Sorry, I was actually referring to the Kubrick World in general. You're absolutley correct in that we are being spoiled with the Star Wars line; I just hope that it continues and does not taper off like other lines have.
I just watch a loose early bird R2-D2 go for $51 on Ebay!!! That is insane. You can buy the whole set of four for $100 with the box and everything. I do not understand people sometimes. I bid $25 and I though i would get it for sure. So if anyone has any loose early bird figs they want to get rid of let me know.
I picked up a ghost obi-wan for $13, that was a nice score.
Keep on kubin'
Josh
noticed 5 days without a post..
no news of any SW kub release from medicom?
or any interesting sighting on ebay??

Nothing new that I`ve seen.
Medicom should update this weekend, maybe something cool will be on there.
You can get those boxes once in a while on ebay, but they are way to expensive IMO. I think they were around $40 dollars for 12 and then shipping was over $10. A much cheaper way and just as good is to go to ToysRus and get the Jonny Lightning car display holders. They hold 6 Kubs and they are only like $6.

Thanks but what a word I owes tapper to find, because I seek on ebay and nothing! thanks ;)
Have you got a naome of sealler ?
Were you planning for this to be an opener?
Well the great Droids R2-D2/Morgbug saga is finally over.
I dunno, a 400% Fett wouldn't be all bad :P

I noticed that influx of auctions as well. Some pretty unrealistic prices in that mix too. :o Making money is fine though, I know the feeling. ;)
Yeah, there were a butt load of auctions all over the place with that 10 cent fixed price insertion fee sale, the vinty section was getting spammed with auctions and nothing in them. Lots of sellers take advantage of the low listings and flood eBay then update there auctions during the course of the auction.

You mean like all the damn repro vehicle stickers populating vintage right now? >:( >:( >:( A waste of time looking through a general search right now thanks to that assclown ::)
Indiana too, they were well over $100 and one just went for $55. Glad I am waiting.
Indiana too, they were well over $100 and one just went for $55. Glad I am waiting.
Well, I checked into the completed auctions and that looked like a good price, so I went ahead and bought it. Plus I had a 10% coupon through paypal so I paid $29.65 including shipping for it... I guess that's pretty good.
Thanks Brent :D
I did see an Indy up recently with no idol, I wonder if that was the $55 one?
Sorry about that, I guess I didn't read the whole auction. I was just doing a completed auction search and saw it in passing. Still $55 is not bad.Agreed. If I didn`t have one, I`d pay 55 for that one. Hard to think that little
Maybe you guys can explain something to me. Someone just put the early bird set loose on ebay. Seperate auctions for each one, give or take $45 dollars apiece w/ shipping. Somebody bid on them ???. And the same dude no less. So I do a search, and you can get an unopened sealed set for bin $160. And if you watch alot cheaper than that. Is it just me or is that really insane? I wish I had that kind of money to blow. ::)
Some people just have to much money on their hands. There is an R5-D4 I was bidding on, and I put like $18.00, which is way to much, and someone still outbid me. >:(
So I just looked for a cheap bin Toys R Us set and bought all five for about $13 apiece shipped. I'll beat ebay stupidity one way or another.

(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Kubricks/Boba%20Fett%20Gun%20Auction.jpg)
It's the standard gun, it almost looks as if the stock of the gun is missing (broken off). The light brown area where the stock should be looks like the cape that is on the cover of the box. Also notice the color of the handle, the gun in the auction is brown and the ROTJ Version is black plus the difference in the barrels and the placement of the scope. There's no doubt in my mind that is a standard gun.
Here are some pics from Kubism for reference on the gun.

Simon has an opener Rebo set up that's a big bargain (http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Kubrick-MAX-REBO-Box-Set-Medicom_W0QQitemZ6013583493QQcategoryZ751QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) Ok, it's still over $100 but it's a great deal if you're less concerned with the packaging.
I received an e-mail a short time ago, maybe the same as yours. Nothing really big in it as it was "New Items Information", nothing SW related. The only thing I'm waiting on from RoBBy this year is on Series 5.
Might be best to e-mail Ryo with a copy of that to clarify what that is. 16,800 yen = $141. US and 10,920 = $91.62 there abouts. I get nothing trying to translate it. :-\
Actually, it might be for the stormies....
I think the RoBby price on them was 10,920 yen and retail was 16,800 or something.
Maybe they are in stock! Woo Hoo!
They retail at HLJ for 7,619 yen or $64. US each so 15,238 yen or around $128. US. for both so those figures could be in the ball park.

Wait... are you talking about 400% Stormie Han/Luke or RAH Stormtroopers? ???
I think Adam is talking about RAH Stormies, and at HLJ, the RAH Stormtrooper (http://www.hlj.com/product/MEDRAH-242) is listed at 16,800 yen retail.
I lost Ryo's e-maila ddress does anyone have it.
Thanks!
Series 5 is scheduled for release on Nov 30/05 according to RoBBy's site and HLJ is showing a Nov release.
We just have too wait, also keep watching eBay as we get closer. ;)
That Boba.jp site (something like that) will probably have the first pictures again, so I`ll
put them back into my rotation if I can find the link..
Very nice set up Matt, looks great. 8)
Yep, I just checked my e-mail. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f060.gif)
Just got an invoice from RoBby!
Just got an invoice from RoBby!
Me too! ;D
Being my first robby.jp transaction, do I need to respond to the e-mail or not? (it's kinda hard to tell) ???
The transactions I`ve had with RoBby, they email and ask you to OK the charge.
Check out the invoice and if it is ok, just email back and say it is ok to charge it.
I think its time for a new thread! This one is getting pretty long now.
Return of the Kubricks maybe?
Because I'm still not a fan of this box set....
Why and Imperial R5? Huh, where'd that come from?
K-3PO? Ok, all our vintage leanings, they're out the window.
Ten-numb, uh, yeah, sure. ::)
Wicket - Ewok cartoon. Sure thing there fella. Never mind that I need to keep reminding people that Ewoks spawned Jar Jar Binks and anyone that loves Ewoks should be forced to re-watch Ep I ad nauseum until they revoke Ewoks fully and completely, but that thing doesn't even look like the cartoon version. It's damn near as tall as Luke.
Speaking of Luke, that figure is acceptable but I don't recall it from the vintage line either. Can prequel Kubrick's be that far off? :-\ At least it's OT.
:-*
So it's safe to say you won't be pursuing this set? :-*
I'm having a hard time translating the page on Medicom, but I think it says 3499 pieces. :-\
I LOVE Ebay bidders. Check out those Early Birds that just went today. Some dude just won 3 of the 4 for a total of 136.00 w/ shipping. ;D That makes me laugh. No logic at all.
I am still waiting for somebody to bid on those ridiculously priced Rebo Band figs. Just you wait, believe me someone will do it. ::)
Just got a message from Ryo. He didn't receive my reply regarding shipping, so he emailed again. He indicated they will be on the way as soon as he gets a reply from me. As I understand it, they have them in hand. Woot! 8)

How far ahead is Japan in terms of time? I know it's the other side of the dateline, but I can't remember where it runs against Australia. I remember Australia being around 16-18 hours ahead of us...
According to my e-mails from Ryo, he's in Yanagibashi, Taito-ku, Tokyo so Tokyo would put them about Thursday @ 12:40 pm. 17 hrs. I think.
Those are ratios for the series by the looks of it. I can't get any translation on bablefish. :-\
Yoda 2/12
Luke 4/12
Leia 1/12
Admiral Ackbar 1/12
Imperial Gunner 3/12
Snaggletooth 1/12
I reckon the chases will come from the Gunner, Yoda and luke boxes, if this is correct.
If there is one, could the chase from the Imperial Gunner box be an Imperial Tie Pilot? That'd be cool. Maybe an Imperial Officer.
I think there will be a Blue Snag but it's going to be some absurd ratio like 1/96 or 1/192 . Let's hope not but Medicom has to make a Blue Snag and the ratios aren't looking good.
I'm amazed nothing has leaked out yet though. I can't believe we'll have these en route before something shows on ebay, or even be close.
Your payment for this shipment is completed.
We will let you know again when we ship out the items.
Thank you very much.
Shipping is 4,935 yen: $41.40 US or $48.53 CDN.
There was a 3% credit card payment charge of 971 yen: $8.15 US or $9.55 CDN
Order total: 33,362 yen: $280.00 US or $328.00 CDN. based on todays rate.
For those who asked about the shipping cost, bear in mind this is to Canada:
5400 Yen = $48.25 US or $58.15 CDN. Total cost is 40968 Yen for $365.48 US or $441.20 CDN at todays rate.
Ryo just told me they're shipping out. Can they have them in hand? Weird that we havn't seen pics yet. Must be a matter of hours.
Hmmm, $85.00 CDN saved in total, not too shabby. 8)
Guess I should wait for the final bill eh! ;)
Show us more, show us more!Hell, just tell us more for right now! ;D
I'd say this big bad blue boy completes the chase trio.

We have shipped out the items today.
Please let us know when you receive the package(s)
Han is a big disappointment, why another Han!
Sith, your right-just found a comparison shot! different guns too.
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b327/b-bunting/snag.jpg)
on yahoo there are currently 3 walrusmen, 4 hans and 1 snaggletooth.
think blue snags gonna be rare!
the auction description said the legs were different lengths. but no mention of the ratios.
A few posts back I pasted a post from Slave1.jp forums that looked like they could
be the ratios.
Yoda-2
Leia-2
Luke-2
Snag-1
Gunner-3
Akbar-1
Characterwise, this would be a good breakdown, but being that there is a blue snag,
I`m not sure if they would do that with a 1:12 figures
I am truly impressed we had to wait until the day of release to find out for sure what the chase figures were.
Doesn't make me nervous, it's the Medicom way and to be expected splitting up 2 chase figures unless someday in the future they surprise us.
Thing is tho do we get 1 or 2 Walrusman or Endor Han ala Han/Luke Stormtrooper.
Just for interest's sake, I'm splitting off the posts about the 400% Kubricks into a new thread. It should help keep the conversation from overlapping that way. :)

This is how I track my stuff from RoBby.

the number I have now doesn`t seem to be working, but Ryo emailed
me and said my stuff did go out EMS, so maybe the Japanese PO is just
running slow or something today.

That link is no good when the item arrives in Canada, it's not updated so I switch over to Canada Post. I get better results.
I had the same problem with my tracking number, there are spaces between the numbers, just adjust them and you should be fine. ;)
Took the spaces out (I`ve used the site to track all my stuff from RoBby so far).
Didn`t know that once it hits Canada you couldn`t track it from there.
How much customs are you going to have to pay?
I wonder how much you have to spend before US customs stops something...
This one is close to a grand...
Now I have to wait on the customs fees, I'm guessing around $28.00 CDN.
I'm going to say that the Endor Han is like the White Pauldron Sandtrooper. There are just too many of them out there. So since Luke is 4 per case, I think one box of 12 is nothing but Endor Han.
Blue Snaggy (http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-Star-Wars-Kubrick-S5-Secret-Blue-Snaggletooth_W0QQitemZ6017196699QQcategoryZ48972QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
"One carton (48 pieces) has only 1 piece of this item and not every carton has it since it would be a Walrus Man, very rare and hard to get!"
And for Han Trench:
One carton (48 pieces) has only 2 pieces of this item, very rare!"
Full Set (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-RARE-STAR-WARS-KUBRICK-5-FULLSET9-3-CHASE_W0QQitemZ6017173922QQcategoryZ48972QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Box 1......Eureka!!!
Warusman (in DS Gunner Box) :D
Interesting. The 2nd MC was configured exactly the same as the 1st one. The ist box was also turned around in this one. But, no Blue Snag. :'(
Box 1
Luke Luke Luke
DS Gunner DS Gunner Luke
Leia Yoda Yoda
Ackbar Red Snag Warusman (in DS Gunner Box)
Box 2
Leia Luke Luke
DS Gunner DS Gunner DS Gunner
Ackbar Yoda Yoda
Red Snag Endor Han Endor Han
Box 3
Luke Luke Luke
DS Gunner DS Gunner Luke
Yoda Yoda DS Gunner
Leia Ackbar Red Snag
Box 4
Luke Luke Luke
DS Gunner DS Gunner Luke
Yoda Yoda DS Gunner
Leia Ackbar Red Snag
So that doesn't really confirm the ratios for Warus Man and the Bue Snag.
So Warus man is either 1:48 or 1:96 and Blue Snag is 1:96 or 1:192.
Personally I think that they might be both 1:96. There seems to be even amount of both for sale over here.

Did your tracking # through Canada Post tell you that? All mine says so far is "International item has left the origin country".
It look slike my case landed in NY today, here's hoping i get them on Tuesday or Wednesday!
I am still upset i am going to have to track down a second chase. I bought the master case hopeing to save money, i dont think its going to work out that way :-[
Bah! On the contrary, Han is hands down my favorite. He will go GREAT with Endor Leia and Luke!
I LOVE that Medicom keeps giving me Han!
opened 6 master cases of SW5 today..
didnt get a single blue snaggle tooth..
all same as simon's layout..
tried all cases.. even/odd number carton, big/small number..
sigh.. ???
but i must add this basic set rocks... the extra lukes kinda suck though..

Where are you at?
I`m in PA, and usually only takes a day for mine to get here once it hits JFK.
If you bought a master case just for yourself, you should be able to sell off sets
and a Han chase and make enough to more than pay for a snag/wally.
I`m in the same boat, but me and 2 others split the case, so I will have to track
down 2 chases (most likely wally and snag)
WOOOOOOOOO! I just opened my first box and pulled out a Blue Snaggletooth!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ;D

well i am kinda leary about bying a sealed box myself now. it seems like everyone that got a MC got there chases in the same spot. i would be worried that someone would send one of the two boxes that had nothing. what do you guys think??
I still think the Blue Sangs are 1:96. Instinctoy had 5 of them for sale last night in Japan and only 1 Walrusman. I think it is just luck of the draw with the boxes.
CRAP!!! I was too slow on the white sandtrooper it says they are out. I suck. :'(
Buying a box on eBay might be from a seller that has already opened a Master Case and has gotten the chases.
Great pic's Adam, looks like Ackbar is trying to dip into the beer! ;D
Well my MC has arrived in the city, just a matter of when it gets delivered. 8)

Now, I have to go back to the Post Office after work and hope that the mail carrier made it back and uloaded his truck already. If he isn't back to the station before they close at 5pm, I'l have to wait until 8am tomorrow to get my Kubricks... :'(

Yeah, I got that e-mail Brent just before I headed to the PO. If your worried then check your tracking. ::)
You didn't get a shipping detail e-mail from Ryo that they shipped on the 25th? ??? :-\
Looking back, no, it doesn't appear so unless I deleted it with all the damn new product emails. They charged my card, why the hell wouldn't they ship. I got the email saying the charge went through :-\ Guess it's next week for me. :'(

Yeah, that's the same e-mail I got Jeff.
Brent, I went onto Ryo's site and took a boo and not sure if this is what you did to check your order.
I clicked on "Member's menu" then "Checking of the Status of Your Order", I checked off under "payment & shippment" all.
It brought up all my past and current orders and it mentions that for my MC, "payment received date" and "release" on 05/11/25. It does not mention anything for a "shipment date". May not be updated yet.
On the bright side (c'mon snaggy) Ryo did respond with my tracking number. It's en route from Richmond to Carman, so it should be here by week's end as well. ;D
I think we were pretty close calling between $100 and $110 DsJ. Only $2.50 off
Barada also came with that force pike, so maybe a ROTJ assortment with

How many MC's did you have Tony? What was the different layout that you had for the figures?
See, I told myself not to visit this thread again because it just makes me yearn (yes, yearn) for these things. After getting the regulars from series 1 and 2 and a couple of series 3, I just couldn't afford 'em anymore. And now I've gone and seen that Blue Snag. This stuff is like crack. At this point, I think my craving might be only subdued by a Stormie (which was my going to be my coup de grâce for my Kubrick collecting, but I never got one). But only subdued, because I'll inevitably visit this thread again.
Congrats on all those chases, guys!
Well...
I had two eBay coupons burning a hole in my pocket - a $15 off paypal coupon (that expires TODAY) and a $25 eBay rewards certificate which gives me total $40 off a purchase if it's over $100.
Want to guess what I just did? ::)
damn my lack of patience (http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-WARS-SERIES-5-KUBRICK-SECRET-BLUE-SNAGGLETOOTH_W0QQitemZ6018277243QQcategoryZ751QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
$85 shipped and I'm done with series 5.
I just didn't feel like waiting to see where he will end up ...
$30 like the series 4 Stormie Twins (1:48)?
$50 like the series 3 Vinyl Cape Jawa (1:96)?
$100 like the series 3 Logray (1:96)?
$150 like the series 1 Boba Fetts?
I figured, what the hell - I'll just split the difference and be done. :)
Heheh, yeah, 3 are for buddies, 2 for me....with
5 RAH stormies in it...
Holy ****, Adam! What do you need FIVE of those Stormies for?! You selling three of them, or something?
Thanks for the pricing reminder though.

There are still plenty for sale. Instinctoy is selling them for $76 each.
This is wierd. Instinctoy is now up to 20 Blue Snags and 2 Walrusmen. Man he must buy alot of MC's. I remember he sold about 30 or more of each chase figure from Series 4 as well.
I'm not sure if I've even seen an error with Kubricks before. Has anyone else?
I saw a weird Red Fett Chase figure from Series 1 with one of the Red Gaunlents missing. You'd fell ripped if you had pulled that from the box.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/swcgphotos/cc5441e5.jpg)Very cool, congrats!
That's what I got from my case. Still need Walrusman now. :)
Hey, blue snaggletooth can breathe, that's great. It's also a great shot to illustrate the height difference that is pretty minimal, but it's there.
I'm getting closer to biting the bullet on those damned Series 3 ones now, both of which I'm still lacking. Patience was NOT a virtue with those... >:(

Watch out for those fake Lograys! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. :-\
I read at KubrickWorld that the most notorious "fake Logray" seller, madsontoys, is now selling under a new name on eBay, anyone remember what it is so J-MAC can beware with his purchase?
There is a Logray up now, but no real pics...
One is the same pic from the checklist here and then a teeny tiny smaller pic.
Buyer beware!

Pardon me for being dense on the Logray thing (don't care for ewoks either), but why is it that the are faked so easy?? The wicket and paploo I have don't really look like him. Can anyone explain?? Do they make them from their own molds?

Ohhhh, a toy show. What's this one called? Series 6 no I don't think we will hear anything till early next year but I do think we will have a box set and Jabba's Throne would just kick ass! ;)
Maybe at the show this weekend we will get to buy the set below?
http://www.kubrickworld.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/tru_starwars.jpg
Or maybe they will show off a new set. I think a Jaba palace set would be awesome.
Also does anyone know where to get the new toysrus set from apart from the obivious toysrus japan?
Sounds like fun! Wish stores here carried them, but not much interest
in kubricks here. The comic shop got in the last marvel and the boxsets, and
I don`t think anyone bought any.
I did manage to get Wally. Spanky had them up on the site the other day,
so I emailed about getting one. I was prepared to pay between 85-100 for
Snaggy and Wally on eBay, and Wally from Spanky came to a little over 80
shipped. Now to track down a Snaggy!
Spanky has Han Trench is stock, 4800 Yen.

No problem, long as Snaggy is getting a good home.
Hmmm, so far, only 1 person getting MC from RoBby got a blue snag, I think

I don`t think Tan got his case yet.
Did you check your tracking Jesse?
i should be opening my case this friday b4 my hk trip..Good luck with your case! Hoping you get a blue snaggy.
hope for a blue snag.. its damn rare here in singapore!

YES! Thanks man!
There is a Logray up now, but no real pics...
One is the same pic from the checklist here and then a teeny tiny smaller pic.
Buyer beware!
WTF? Someone ripped JD's Logray picture for their eBay auction?

What do you mean? Are those fakes or you're just shocked at the amount he got?At the amount.
You wait to see how many VCD Stormtroopers he has!! I think he tried to buy all 500 that were released from the WCC festival. ::)
Nice set up! I like the use of that vinty Dagobah playset. ;)You wait to see how many VCD Stormtroopers he has!! I think he tried to buy all 500 that were released from the WCC festival. ::)
I'm glad someone at the WCC was smart enough to realize that would be a tad unfair. ::)
My Blue Snaggletooth arrived today from ActionHQ, so I am officially done with Series 5. ;D
Now I just have to rearrange the Kuby-shelf and get them put in place... :)
I have those same stands, but some of my kubs don`t like to stand on them.
Somebody scored a vinyl jawa for a good price last night.

I don't think that's a very good price on a VC Jawa. They haven't gotten that high that I've seen lately...
This one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6010174594&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEDW%3AIT&rd=1) that I was bidding on last month went for only $57.50 (reserve met and only 3 bidders, including Tony and I), and it was still sealed in bag, unlike the one above which has already been opened.
I'm still holding out for one at $55 or less. Some day...
Is it possible that someone will nab it for more than the average carded version have been going for lately?

More than anything Medicom needs to make a Droids version of C-3PO
thanks for the welcome wagon.I think he could do a great job on a droids 3P0, his stuff is super nice.
Maybe that fella that did those nice Kustom Kubricks a few threads back can make a Droids C-3PO in cartoon colors... that'd be pretty rad.
But I assure you all this is not going to be the start of anything crazy, so nobody get any ideas about your new convert. :P *waves stick to ward off hordes of Kuby-mad Canadians*

Any of you guys have the 400% Batman?? I thought Boba and the Luke/Han needed a guy in tights to beat on so....... for $20 I thought it was a steal.The 400% Batman is great, had to get one!

that Blue Snaggie is neat.. are his legs longer than the regular one like the vintage ones were?
Dang, it's amazing that there are 68 different Star Wars Kubrick (counting the carded/chase variations - 69 if you count Dr. Jones as "Star Wars").

I believe the 100% Star Wars Kubricks are currently at 71 different figures. Counting the Cantina Member with different instruments and the Vintage Fett on the Card.

There was a company called Glasslite from Brazil that released Droids figures, and every single figure had the same card front. Just as an FYI.

The Glasslite Droids C-3PO has the same exact cardfront as all the other Glasslite Droids figures.

To tell the truth, the carded R2 I have already has a bad backercard. It's warped and I should've sent it back to the seller but I didn't want to hassle with it. It's been bugging me ever since. I pretty much have collected most of the carded figures as carded and uncarded with the exception of the Bape Fett, Vader, and Parco Sandtrooper which are just way too expensive. R2 was the last on my list. I don't think $66 was that great a deal either. Anyway, the Droids 3PO was just an excuse to bite the bullet and get another one so I had something to scan. I would much rather do a Droids C-3PO that looks like the Kenner one but I'm not sure how the Kubricks would translate into those positions. I'll look into it though. Thanks for those Brazilian Droids pics. Really cool... By the way, did anyone else get an e-mail from Ryo at Robby? I just ordered another master case.

sorry amigo. what I meant was although the Glasslite's share the same card fronts the art that comes on the R2 that Bikeridetony bought is different from the art that comes on the Kenner C-3PO.

will go fast. Didn`t order one though.
Sorry but I've been away. Ryo had 20 cases of what?

Pretty sure there are a few others here who give me some competition
for one though 8) :-*

ya i can, but i have no clue how to post it. if someone can give my a run through i will do it.
if any of you are having trouble finding a nice case to put your kubs in, i was at IKEA in san francisco this last weekend and ran across a HUGE CHEAP selection. most of them are on line.

i picked up the one for $19.99 and it works and looks awsome!! the glass cabinet on that page that is on the right was really sweet and only $60.00! if i had room i would have bought one of those. you'll have a hard time finding something better than this for the price.

Can you take a picture? I'm interested in that.
ya i can, but i have no clue how to post it. if someone can give my a run through i will do it.
i was really happy with it when i got it home. i was worried it would be to deep, but if you have the toy 'r' us packs or the speederbike pack it takes up the room behind them. also, IKEA makes lights that fit in the cabinets, just look in the light section. if you don't have an IKEA, i think thier shipping is very reasonable. trust me, had i known you could get them online i would have. i kid you not the store is like 4 costcos. it takes forever to go through it, find what you want, and the to check out. they have like 30 something cash registers at the one in san francisco, and its still not enough. i think the thing will liik sweet when i get the new toysrus set and the speederbike set in there.

Questions for anyone who has ordered from Hobby Link Japan:
1) If I order 4 boxes of Star Wars Kubricks, will they send me a master case sealed? I want to get a blue Snaggletooth or Walrusman
2) What will the shipping costs be for 4 boxes of Kubricks to the U.S. via either surface or express mail?
3) Will I have to pay any customs or import fees to receive the package?
I ordered a box of series 4 from toynk in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. The box bottom was loose (like the glue had been broken) and I figured I had a repacked box on my hands. I hit two Luke Stormies! I had bought the box to get more stormtroopers for myself and a set of the basics for my brother in law- Needless to say I was jazzed! I guess you never know what you are going to get once you get down to single boxes-

For those who have not seen this aution, the seller is using the picture from our archive without permission so I would be careful on bidding it. eBay has been informed but like the last one (loose Logray), it had to go through eBay in Europe and they did squat! ********! >:(

I just got my 3 boxes of series 3 tonight and what did I find, but a Logray in the first box. The second box had 3 hibernation sickness Han Solos. I was so glad to find a Logray and not the Vinyl Cape Jawa. I took a chance getting 3 boxes, but it was the last 3 they had at BigBadToystore.com and the best part is that they were 20%. $80 per box isn't too shabby ;)
Awesome news, about the only way I'd own a Logray. Congrats.
Many congrats! I'm really quite surprised you found so many chases from the last few boxes from an e-tailer.

Figures. Guess I jumped the gun on Walrus Man a little.
Any deals on Blue Snags like that anywhere?
I was eyeing them, but had my sights on a couple of other things. Just won an Indy for $99 and a blug Snag for $107, both from the same seller in the US so shipping is only $5. Spent almost $400 in the last week on Kubricks, but I will soon have all of series 5 plus the one chase I really wanted more than the others I'm missing, so I'm happy.
freakin ebay bidders ::)

Care to elaborate?
Noticed same seller had quite a few things up.
Rebo band closed at 160+
Han Trooper 90+
Walrus Man 120
Luke/Leia Speeder set 107
Rebo Band seems to be going up and not sure why that Han Trooper went
that high, I think he had a Luke that ended in the 40s.
Can't wait to get my Series 5 set from Jeff on Wednesday and I can fill them up!

Honorius auction:
All of the carded kubs, 918 BIN.
Yeah, that's tempting, Adam! I haven't pursued any of the high-end carded Kuby's (Fett, Sandtrooper, Vader), and I still need an opener of the Droids Fett, Holo Leia, and Blonde Luke, so that auction would fill almost every last hole of mine. Of course, it would likely mean getting divorced, so I think I better pass... :P
Damn that's impressive. Why are Boba, Han and Obi Wan facing sideways?
I see it now. Really nice set up.
Thanks! It was quite a labor of love, not to mention a severe pocket book drain.
Thanks! It was quite a labor of love, not to mention a severe pocket book drain.
Well, let's see: I see about 10 rows of 14 cases = 140 cases @ a couple bucks each...
Yeah, I'd say it must have been a heck of a pocket book drain. :o
Looks pretty impressive to see all those Kubricks together like that though!

Thanks for the quick reply. So is it $5.99 for the box that holds 6?
Great deal on an opener!
I find myself sinking deeper into the Kubrick vortex...
Within the last few days I received 8/9th (would had them all if my dumb ass didn't forget to sign the money order for Walrusman ::)) of series 5 and the Indy chase I won off of ebay recently. Luckily, I found some more JL cases, as I think I only had room for this series with my current display. Need to do some reorganizing, but I'll have updated pics shortly.
That's funny, you have a habit of not signing them. You sent me an unsigned one about halfway through last year :P The bank cashed it anyway.
Guess so. I guess it never dawned on me to sign them. They're not like a check where who knows if the money is there or not. A MO is already paid for, so the money's "real". Wonder how many others I didn't sign. No worries though, the seller was understanding. He tried to cash it without my sig and the bank told him no. Guess every bank's different.
After one of our monthly meetings here in MN I got an itch for collecting some Kubrick figures (Thanks a lot Jeff & JediJaybird). I am looking to get the follow. They do not need to be in package, or on a card. This is strickly a loose collection.
Emperor Palpatine
Obi-Wan Kenobi (non ghost)
Darth Vader
Boba Fett
Thanks
