Ah well, the good news is he should be caught up soon, freeing up the market a bit.  Unless he's a speculator that's stocking up.  Hope not for his sake, speculating is dangerous business and seldom pays off.

You got that right.  That's why I have two vinyl chase jawas. sigh.

I have learned my lesson though.

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.

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.   :)

"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!

Anything over 70 for those Fetts in "ungodly sum" to me  ;)
I would love to have them, but just can`t go that high. The 400% Fett is
still tempting me though.
I`ll have some extras to unload too.
Where did you get your cases from? I see you have the Han Trooper.
Didn`t open ours yet, kinda hoping for Luke, but I think it will be the Han case.

There is absolutely no merrit in the Hong Kong/Japan split. There are plenty of Luke's and Hans for sale here.

SteathTank. Thanks for joining in on the action. Actually I think that you paid the going rate for the set of 3 you bought recently. Recently the 2 chase figures have been going for $150+ in Japan, so it's not too bad. They have been out of circulation for 2 years, but demand for them is still high.

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?  :)

I'll find out whats happens when I get my Master Case from HLJ which is on the plane from Japan right now. Then it sits in customs for clearance so I'm hoping to have it before the end of the month... I hope. I'll only be opening 3 of the 4 boxes as 1 box will stay sealed for Matt B.
