Title: Pepsi Bottle Caps / Toppers / Figures
Post by: Morgbug on May 8, 2003, 11:34 AM
OK, do you have any clue what I am talking about?  The pepsi caps from Japan with either the figures or head busts on top?  

Just wondering if anyone collects these and whether anyone has any spares.  I have maybe 30 or so and I think there are 52(?) in the AOTC set.  I wouldn't mind completing my set at some point and the prices seem to have come down.  

I received a Royal Guard and a Plo Kloon today.  They were a throw in with a trade from a friend and it sort of rekindled my interest in them.  I gathered a bunch last summer, put them away and pretty much forgot about them.  

My guess is Adam has a complete set, Cory has some (2 ;D), but who else?

I don't have any of these at all, but if you have a list of what you need you should post it in the classifieds.  I'm sure someone here can help you out.  Good luck completing your collection of them.

There are also 2 special edition caps included.
Anakin/Vader
Jango/Clone Trooper

They are very rare and hard to complete set.I have a friend of mine that opened 200 bags.
Don't get a set but got 2 specials.I have seen the set sold for about US$150 and US$30 for
2 specials.There are also have 10 mail-in sets.
Also sell for US$150 for the set.

Cory has some (2 ;D),

3 Bucko! Jango bust cap, Jango figure cap, and Jango/CloneTrooper chase cap.  ;)

The accompanying cards are pretty nice too. Just thought i'd mention.

Due apologies Cory, 3.  I had forgotten what the chase caps were.  I knew you had the two Jango caps, bust and full.  

A quick perusal of ebay shows these have come down considerably since last summer.  The boxed sets are available with BINs of around 89-99, making them about $2 a piece.  I had paid $3 last year and several individual caps are available for around $1.50 each.  

I need to find mine (stored in a bin ::)) and inventory them.  I think I have nearly 30 or so, but if it's less, getting the boxed set might be the better option to complete the set.

What really bothers me is that I have never seen the windowed box for the collectible cap arena itself on line. And you all know who's on that box, I presume?

Someday..

Title: Star Wars Pepsi Caps
Post by: JoshEEE on August 25, 2003, 12:20 PM
From JediMAC:  Merging this thread with the rest of the Pepsi cap discussion!   ;)

So, I got a set of the Episode 2 caps, but I'm missing the rest of these. Does anyone else here collect them, and if so...where did you go about obtaining them?

I'd sure like to complete my collection with the arena, the EP1 set and all the OT boxed sets....but it seems Ebay is the only avenue for these babies.

Just curious if anyone else is into these.
Title: Re: Star Wars Pepsi Caps
Post by: Morgbug on September 1, 2003, 11:29 PM
Yep, I am, but I think I'm in worse shape than you.  I've never seen these from shops up here but there are a few rumoured places in the US.  Unfortunately, nowhere near you.  

There are Ep II and Ep I caps apparently, round about 80-85 caps in total.  I have maybe 30.  

Ebay does indeed seem to be the only place and in retrospect, I wish I'd just gone ahead and purchased the whole set with arena on ebay rather than doing it piecemeal.  Oh well, maybe with the first set.  

If you have any spares ;)

I can get them all over the place here in Japan, including the areanas and the boxed sets. I actually in the process of gettinging enire collections myself, so mail me if you need some help. Im actually trying to finish off a Planet of the Apes one too.
Title: Re: Star Wars Pepsi Caps
Post by: Morgbug on September 9, 2003, 11:52 AM
Mail you????

OK ;D  I have to inventory to see what I have but you'll be getting some contact from me pretty soon.  I know I need the two 7-11 exclusive caps for sure, but so many others.  It might be prudent for me to just see what sets are worth.
Title: Re: Star Wars Pepsi Caps
Post by: BigDumbWookiee on September 9, 2003, 01:02 PM
I never got into the caps, but wanted to. I'm still trying to work on my set of international Star Wars TPM Pepsi cans. Only about 18 countries to go! lol
Title: Re: Star Wars Pepsi Caps
Post by: Hes No Good to Me Dead on September 9, 2003, 07:48 PM
The average price is about $12-15 each for the exclusives,  but I don't want to pay that much, so I'm holding out for some cheaper ones to come up. The rest of them are pretty cheap. I bought 51 random Episode 1 and 2 caps for $20 the other day.

I've got both Jango Fett caps, as well as the Jango/Clonetrooper chase cap.

Why did we not get any of those.  These are pretty cool! Very good detail I think too!

Do you guys think we will get any promotion stuff, like Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, Pepsi stuff like we did for Episode 1?

We didn't get them because the US can't get all of the good stuff for Star Wars all the time.  ;)  I actually wish we did get those as well as other non-US exclusives but I find it fun trying to add this type of stuff to my collection since it is something most collectors don't have.

Those caps always intrigues me.  Are they just on regular bottles of Pepsi at the local Store?
Title: Re: New Pepsi Bottle Caps
Post by: Morgbug on June 28, 2004, 10:36 PM
I believe they are packaged in a blind bag (i.e. you can't see through it) and attached to the neck of the bottle.  There is a regular cap on the bottle that can be replaced with the fancy version.  

Is everything in Japan blind packaged?  Tomy, Kubrick, Pepsi caps....

Can anyone help a guy out? :)

Afraid that the cans might sit on the shelves way past the movie's departure from the theater?

Are those the same type of bottle toppers or whatever they are called from the previous releases?  I would love to get some of those.  I never will but it would be nice.

Here is a pic of the line up for the next installment of the Pepsi bottle caps due next month. Check out the Death Star stand. That's way cool. I've got the AOTC stand but never got the TPM one 'cause it's way too expensive. Also it looks like those very top 12 figures above the Death Star are the exclusive mail aways.

Uh oh.  Now I want these too.   :-[

Those caps are incredible - I can't believe the detailing they put into the figures.

That Death Star would be a very impressive display.  It must be huge to fit all 60 of those caps in there.   8)

This may seem a stupid question, but do the bottles really come with the figures attached to the caps?  I can't imagine how they could ship the bottles without damaging the attached figures.

Never mind.  It's amazing what you can find out when you actually read a thread.   ;)

I believe they are packaged in a blind bag (i.e. you can't see through it) and attached to the neck of the bottle.  There is a regular cap on the bottle that can be replaced with the fancy version.

Odd I found myself mentioned in this old thread as I never paid any attention to these before today.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone who owns any of the full body version of these could tell me how many milimeters they are.  A photo for scale would be great.
