Just want to mention what a great job Tony did on some custom carded Kubs I recently ordered (esb fett/sandtrooper/vader).  The removal helmet vader is awesome and I especially liked the custom painted black pauldron sandtrooper.  I think I like them better than the Bape and Parcos I've married them with; thanks again Tony!!!

M worst experience on eBay involved good ole Andy, as well.  Tried to save ten bucks on my 400% Fett by choosing him and ended up having to file with Paypal, eBay, and Suretrade before a 2nd "replacement" was sent out.  It was 2 days before the 45th day when I made my claims; good thing because I do not believe I would have recvd. item otherwise.  Used Suretrade; as was mentioned a while back on this thread.  Also, they locked down his paypal account and he bascially ended up pleading with me to end the claim, once the "replacement" had arrived.  I was a bit busy that week!  ... : )

You know, while I'm feeling talky, I have to admit that I own a madsontoys Logray as well.  And I have to say that if mine is a fake, it looks awfully similiar to one that I purchased from another source a while back.  I am just intrigued as to how he or someone would be able to pull off such a replica.  I mean the right arm sways out the same as my other one, though neither are very shiny like the one pic posted here recently.  I just think that someone must have got ahold of the original molds or they are in fact original.  Perhaps I just own two fakes I don't know; they both look identical.  Maybe he sent me an original since I paid 110.

I honestly do not remember which one I got from him...

I certainly agree wholeheartedly.

Also, I just realized that perhaps they had pulled my two master cases, 8 boxes; re shrinkwrapped them at random into two new boxes; then when I canceled.  They sent me one that was unevely balanced.  I bet that was exactly what happened now that I think about it.

Yes it did; very similar if not exactly the same.  But I would like to neither confirm or deny the store.  : ) Its been over a week now that I got it, but I figured noone would believe me, and frankly I didn't want to scare everyone off of them.  I actually had two master cases pre-ordered and was able to have them change my order to one at the last minute even though the automated shipping mesage was preventing me from canceling online; so they were very helpful and hey I got the master case with 5 chases.  You know, the 12 vaders I have left over are also still sealed and up for auction on eBay right now, but PLEASE assume they are all normal, as I've already pulled one chase.  I have not read of anyone else pulling more than the standard three chases per master, so I assumed a goof.  Could have just been luck, though too.  I don't know, and until someone pulls less than the standard from a case from them, I would just chock it up as just that.

My baad!  You know; the way it is shot and posed; it looks a heck of a lot like the Chase.  I don't know, I still would not go anywhere near a loose stormie chase, but to each his own I guess.

I'm selling two extra luke stormies, but I'm also selling a dozen sealed vaders I had left over. 

********************************************************************************* Please Note: I've decided to trade the luke stormies to Tony for some carded figs and have ended the auctions.

By the way, interesting tidbit.  In my last master case I had from a popular retailer here, I pulled one vader/luke chase, two stormie lukes, and low and behold.............. two stormie Hans!  I could not believe my eyes when my girlfriend pulled the first one.  They were in the 11th and 12th slots.  I have a sneaking suspicion; someone at hlj goofed.  Please don't flame me... I just thought you all would like to know.  My master cases from other dealers were standard sealed medicom, but this one was shrinkwrapped together.  I've got two coming from robby next time and that's it.  Too much trouble selling the extras off.

Guys, take a good look at that guy's Vaders.  Something seem funny about the face under the "broken" mask?  Or is it just me?

Anyhow, I've got a Bape Fett and two Luke stormies "sealed" on the bay right now, if anyone is interested.  Only three day auction, and on a weekend at that. Hmmmmm... ; )

Hey Guys.  My two cases were from Robby, and I have another nearly here from BBTS.  My master cases came in the standard medicom boxes, and both had identical chase placement, and were identical to the first layout posted here.

To tell you truth, I had only to open four boxes to pull all of the chases out (2 miraculously full sets), leaving me with 6 sealed chase-less boxes left.  I thought about it for less than a second and opened them all up to be sold and distributed individually and in sets on eBay.  I can't imagine screwing people over the way that seller did to Jeff.  I promise you, having been in the same position, that he made a conscious decision to do wrong.  Sickening.

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.  

Also, I have a few of the Johnny lightning display cases coming and I hope to have pictures of my complete set up for everyone to oggle soon.  Curently out of the US on business right now in London (was actually a few blocks away from one of the bomb sites when it happened), but as soon as I return this weekend, and get about 300 ebay items in the mail, I will post something.  

Sorry again to hear of your misfortune, Jeff, and alternatively, Dale, congratulations on your chase luke/vader!

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!
