Kubricks / Re: Recent Acquisitions

I got the Aliens Power Loader set yesterday. As far as Kubricks go, this isn't a bad value IMO. Man I would kill for some Colonial Marines. . .

I can see these being in pretty high demand when they come out and I'd rather not try to get one on the bay.Seems like the DVD might be coming out around that time. . .
Nothing like being a completest Kuby collector.Maybe when I win the Lotto jackpot. . .
I got a series 2 Indiana Jones chase for $55/£27.50Great find!
I'm hoping you mean 'Spirit of Yoda' and not Obi-Wan... While I like the Spirit of Obi-Wan figure, I wouldn't classify it as awesome myselfNo, I meant Obi Wan (I can't afford Yoda!). And I do think that it is awesome, with his awesome translucent blue skin and white outlines of spirit-ness.
They weren't going to honor the price from January and now you can get it for cheaper on ebay than the prices they have listed now anyway.This is the thing that bothers me the most about this whole situation. Pre-ordering from anyone can be somewhat of a crap shoot (even with the typically reliable BBTS, as has been noted here). However, if you are going to allow people to pre-order something for a certain price, then in my opinion, if you eventually can get that item, you should honor the price that you initially listed it at for those who pre-ordered it for that price, even if you don't make much of a profit on it. That part of it puts a bad taste in my mouth regarding this company. It was their mistake listing something they either couldn't get a hold of, or couldn't sell for their listed price, and they should eat some of the cost in order to do right by their customers.
It makes no sense- even at Ebay prices the buyer would be wayyy better off picking up a master case and the (assuming old patterns come back with this series) the one chase they need. And all of these sets of 9 from series 8 and 9 going for sky high prices hasn't altered the price of what a set of 6 goes for. So assuming a set of 6 would have run about $50, that's $470 spent on just the chases.How might one go about obtaining these "master" cases? Is there a website that offers them?
But he is is always the highest for quite a while, and he appears to enjoy gloating with the pictures of piles of Yodas, Han Carbonites, etc.I didn't realize that was him posting the auctions with pics of piles o' Yodas
