I bring good news and bad news. This is a direct quote from a post by todoroki at kubrickworld.com.
" Hot news from PArco...starwars 3 and more!
So today I went to the medicom parco exhibition in Shibuya. It`s open for a few weeks and I`d definitely reccomend anyone in Japan to go check it out but be warned it could be heavy on the wallet.
Unfortunately all photography was banned and I didn`t want to risk getting chucked out before I could buy the limited edition bearbricks but I'm tempted to go back again next week and take a few sneaky ones.
Man, there was so much cool stuff that I can hardly remeber half of it or know where to start...Anyhow first announcement is the STARWARS SERIES 3: (I`m not that up on the starwars names so forgive my ignorance)
C3PO, (a little bit stubby)
Lando Carrussian, (nicely done with a big cloak)
Ewok (I think its wicket but i`m not sure)
Tie fighter pilot from the original star wars
Some kind of mini sandpeople thing.
They also have another starwars boxset coming out which had:
Han solo frozen inside Jabba the huts wall,
A black r2d2
the other rebel robot that navigates the x-wing.
And some weird ephemeral blue colured Obi wan.
They also had a blister carded Boba Fett from the "droids" Tv series, and the blister carded sandtrooper.
Next was another lot of Batman figures, this time based on the movie series:
Batman (again!)
Joker (Wicked)
Catwoman (with whip)
Penguin
Catwoman in office wear
These all looked really cool, the penguin is a kubrick classic in my opinion.
Other Kubricks I saw were the Nikkuman series 2, A new Nike series which looked way cool and **** man I can`t remember a whole lot else. Im definitely gonna go back and take notes! sorry guys.
The exhibition was mostly for Bearbricks and some nice ones coming out I saw were the Kill Bill 2 (kill is love logo on a white bearbrick) but the best thing of all is the set of 10 bearbrick you can buy with the admission ticket,. They cost 8000 yen but everyone is an `Artist` and these are I think the kubrick collectors item of the year. Expect them to be going for big bucks on ebay soon. There was also this 1000 % furry bearbrick with Almost famous logo which was 19000 yen, ******* massive, I don`t know how anyone could find room to display it! Okay I gotta go now coz im frantically dashing this out in an internet cafe. Hopefully someone else can write a more detailed account over the weekend but if not I`ll post some news and hopefully some photos when I get home midweek."
C3PO
No mention of Vader or Yoda.

The ones I have extras of are the ones with the stand. So I guess those are the Japanese ones and the neck strap instrument are the Hong Kong ones? Anyway if anybody needs 3 or more of the ones with stand I would do $5.00 each plus shipping. I would sell one for $7.00 plus shipping. 
Sorry that you didn't get a Boba.
