And what would be the builder??
Not only SWKUBDX Series 3, 4 And they were even on display series! !
Desert planet Tatooine, Series 3, Series 4 in the Death Star, ☆ display was exhibited
The black spheres DX4?
Purinsesureia = Princess Leia
Also, I believe 反乱軍兵士 = Rebel Fleet Trooper
So, that would make it -
Darth Vader (vinyl)
Princess Leia (vinyl)
R2-D2
Rebel Fleet Trooper
TIE Fighter Pilot (gray gloves and boots)
Imperial Dignitary
with Parts to the Arakyd Viper Probe Droid
I'm hoping Leia is a "hood up" version and I'm guessing R2-D2 will have some sort of holo-leia with him.
I'm going to guess chases now for this series:
Princess Leia Yavin Ceremony (in Leia box)
Captain Antilles (in RFT box)
Space Trooper (in TIE Pilot box)
:P
I'm not surprised by the choices, but am a little dissapointed in them. Between the S1 Chases and S3/S4 figures, we're getting a lot more "adjusted" figures versus new figures. I get making a couple of the figures repaints to save on tooling costs, but there are a ton of "new" figures that I would rather see in place of yet another R2, Rebel Trooper, Leia, Luke, Ben, etc.
Probe droid is such a bizarre choice.
Is there anything different about that R2 from the early bird version?
Boy there are going to be a lot of Imp Dignitaries on eBay.
This is an odd set with the probot as the chase. I wonder if one of them will be from outside the DS. I'd like to go easy and suggest an alternate dignitary, but I'm going to go big on these:
Vintage Death Squad Commander in the Vader box
Dutch Vander (Gold Leader) in TIE Pilot box
Pretty sure there was a Hasbro wave that included TIE Pilot, Antilles, and Dutch...seems like they've partly copied earlier Hasbro waves for some of these releases. I would love to see what they can do with the old DS Commander - that would instantly be one of my all time favorite Kubes.
How 'bout this guy as a chase?

I think there is zero chance of a deleted scene figure. Never say never I guess, but I don't see it happening.
How about making the chases worth more than $500 this time around...

preorder is up on big bad toy store: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=dx+04
do you know if you ordered 4 boxes from NCSX, do they give you a master case? or just 4 random boxes.
Tempting. I was happy with HLJ this last time around, so probably going to go with them or NCSX.
have you ever ordered a master case from them?
Funny I just checked HLJ website and they have stopped preorders. Wonder whats that about ???
Funny I just checked HLJ website and they have stopped preorders. Wonder whats that about ???
Did they sell out that fast? I think the S3 boxes sold out pretty quickly last time around. Did you get an order in?
So, I have 6 basics sets of 7 available for anyone who wants to lock in now. I'm asking $85 plus $5 to ship.
So, I have 6 basics sets of 7 available for anyone who wants to lock in now. I'm asking $85 plus $5 to ship.
I'm in for a DX4 basic set of six for $85 if you stick with the MC order someplace. But can I get local pick-up instead of $5 delivery charge? ;D
Any word on when these are due to hit?
put me down for a basic set of 6. 85.00 shipped. not even going to try to get a chase
I wish they would have given Leia a sporting blaster...
Even though I already ordered from HLJ, I'm planning to cancel my order and go with NCS for S4. I ordered the master case from them earlier today. I can't stomach that HLJ won't send you the actual master case, so not only do you miss out on the display, but you might get 4 boxes and no chase. You might also get more than one chase, but who wants to take the chance when you're spending $800? Not me. Big Bad would have saved me $20, but I have two issues with them. #1 - I don't know that they'll get the cases. They've taken pre-orders for items in the past that haven't come in, so I don't want to risk having to scramble for a case if something falls through. #2 - I don't trust them. Sorry for any BBTS guys reading this, but I don't have a history with them and haven't seen many chases coming out of BBTS. I've used NCS for S10, Fett Series, Dx1 and Dx2 now and they've always come through. I also like that they sent out extra displays to those that ordered 2 or more boxes. I'll pay an extra 2% for great customer service. I'll have 6 extra basic sets of 7 and still selling them for $85 each plus $5 shipping if you're not local. Send me a PM if you're interested - 2 have been claimed, so 4 left at this point. I'm also offering up the display for $40 if anyone wants it. |

Someone please explain to me what the deluxe series 4 death star is?
Big Bad Toy Store sold out of Master Cases already. :o
Any word on when this series is due to land?
December release!

Woohoo!
Nah, don't be concerned. It's been that way for months.
HLJ has a set number of pre-orders and once that allocation is sold out they put up that order stop. Pretty standard for them, it's just that SW stuff attracts more demand.
I checked in on my preorder on hlj.com and the status of my box of 12 says "Order Stop." Anybody else preorder from them seeing this same message, or something different? Can't tell from the fine print if it means that my preorder got bumped or if that's just the standard status for items they haven't received yet.
it's an imperial commander!!!
Instinctoy has a group shot up. There is only one chase in the photo and it's an imperial commander!!!
I'd like to go easy and suggest an alternate dignitary, but I'm going to go big on these:
Vintage Death Squad Commander in the Vader box
Dutch Vander (Gold Leader) in TIE Pilot box
Technically...it is not quite the Vintage Commander...more of the Jumpsuited guys Symposium posted
Technically...it is not quite the Vintage Commander...more of the Jumpsuited guys Symposium posted
The ONLY difference is missing badges on his chest. ::) I'll be calling him "Imperial Commander" instead of "Jumpsuited Guy."
Yeah I know it's not a skirt but the fact that they have it coloured grey while the torso is just a plain black piece makes it look like a skirt ;)
I believe they are Imperial Technicians and can be seen in the first few scenes of ROTJ where Vader's ship is arriving in the control room...also note the Imperial Logos on the shoulders
Hasbro made this figure back in POTJ
I think they are saying that they opened a case and found this chase. They listed it as 1:48 because they opened 4 boxes. There's likely another case with a different chase in one of the 4 boxes, just like all the other deluxe releases.
I think it is just mislabed as 1:48 when it technically should be 1:96.I believe they are Imperial Technicians and can be seen in the first few scenes of ROTJ where Vader's ship is arriving in the control room...also note the Imperial Logos on the shoulders
Hasbro made this figure back in POTJ
Hasbro called this figure "Imperial Officer" not Imperial Technician. Officer is a generic term for any number of ranks, including a commander. I'm sticking with IMPERIAL COMMANDER.
If he's a Commander, where's his rank insignia? ;)Right...I know it is geeky minutia but he's not a commander. There was also a geeky uproar POTJ era over calling that figure Imperial Officer...technically what they put out was not an Officer
If he's a Commander, where's his rank insignia? ;)There was also a geeky uproar ...
I'll decide whether or not he is an officers after I find out how much I have to pay. Maybe it will be easier to take the beating if I can claim he is at least ranked, badges be damned!
Enlisted Crewman? (unclassified)
Black overalls, single-breasted top.
Black cap.
Silver Imperial Emblem on the sleeve at each shoulder.
Black belt with silver buckle and holster, no utility boxes.
Long-sleeved black gloves.
No rank badge or code cylinders.
No as these are "in hand" photos from instinctoy and the only way that horrible torso piece could be wrong is if it's a production error. What I dislike about isnt so much the lack of detail but the different colour of the torso compared with the arms or the skirt.

How do you know these are "in hand" photos? Seems like the same generic photo that has shown up all over. Maybe they originated and everyone else has copied, but how do you know?
There's a rumour over on Kubricknation that the second chase is a black astromech droid...I really hope it's something more interesting than that!
Someone did...it's sold already!!!
I'm putting in my vote for the two worst SW chase releases to date. We already got a black astromech in one of the TRU boxed sets. Very disappointed by this
If I was smart, I'd cancel my Bo12 pre-order and just scarf up a set of 6 on the cheap.

Bespin and Endor next. Where and where do they usually release the new updates for the next 2 series?
So if indeed this is misinformation how is this corrected? Does any individual get master cases anymore let alone multiples?

Uninspired before the chases were known, IMO. And yes, I'm still sour about the AT-ST driver.

Jesse is the uniform guru around here...I'll ask him to weigh in
Getting every figure I want from a kubrick wave for less than $100 is actually looking pretty good!
Good thing I'm on my meds or all this talk of this being a commander or Max. Veers or Grand Molson Tarkin would send me right over the f'ing cliff. Next thing we'll be calling the Imperial R2 unit, "Shadow R2", "Bizarro R2" or some ****. ::)
As poor as the chases seem to be, I am still pretty jazzed by the basic 6. And I agree with the comment made earlier that if Antilles had been a chase, we would all be dropping $300 to get him. The TIE pilot is such a good throwback to the vintage figure. Leia is a big improvement over the toilet paper dress version from the early bird set. Vader looks supremely retro and will be great with the dx3 Ben. And antilles is a great addition, sort of the Garindan of this wave. The Dignitary is pretty cool too, and again, I'm glad he didn't end up being the chase- he would have gone for insane prices as well.

Maybe it's my nature, but I just have to disagree. I'm glad you guys are fired up and looking at this stuff as positive. To me however I'm seeing Hasbro deja vu all over again.
Leia is better, but I think the early bird set is fine and while yeah, an improvement is welcome, it's not really necessary.
Another Vader? Really? Cuz we were all hoping for it? I'm sort of ok with it if it's a more vintage-y version but I still don't find it necessary.
Another Tie Pilot? ****, I still have five from the previous release I never moved. We complain about $10-11 Hasbro figures for rehashes but because it's from Japan $14 is ok? Not for me.
R2? Yawn should cover it because we only have how many of him/it?
I'm good with Antilles (though not a figure I could personally care about owning) and the Dignitary though but I can wait for a $60 set some time down the road. The chases? They suck. 'Nuff said.
Crustily yours...
My first reaction to the vinyl/vintage re-does was an eye roll. But Ben is great, and I look forward to a vader to match. Honestly, the line can't survive on characters only seen for .7 seconds or that made it on to a CCG card. At least they have found a way to bring the main characters back in to the fold with some creativity (retro), rather than repacks (R2 has no business here though)
when you bastards were cracking open $200 master cases like there was no tomorrow.

Man, do I miss Robby.jp. :'(
Instinctoy finally got the other chase in their cases. They are now referring to the R2-Q5 as a 1/96 figure. Hopefully this one doesn't end up at 20,000 yen like the other chase did...

Some good points, but I still say the pemican and AT-ST driver are making you focus on the bitter tastes.

The Imperial Commander on Ebay sold today for $255. Anyone here get him?
Black Uniform Imperial Officer
DX4 Chase guesses...Black Uniform Imperial Officer
Well done, Jay! 8)
My guesses if it's ANH based:
Dirty Luke in Stormtrooper Disguise with wet hair and dianoga tentacle wrapped around his neck
Death Star Duel Obi-Wan Kenobi w/hood up
Luke and/or Han with Stormtrooper utility belts
Black Uniform Imperial Officer
Leia with ITO-Droid
Porkins
BAD: Death Star Trench Gun or Turbo Laser :P
I'm going to guess chases now for this series:
Princess Leia Yavin Ceremony (in Leia box)
Captain Antilles (in RFT box)
Space Trooper (in TIE Pilot box)
:P
My guesses:
Motti or Janus Greejatus in Dignitary box
Porkins or Biggs in TIE Fighter Pilot box
Got the email from BigBad that my case is in... :) just waiting to ship.

Did you order a master case from them? Still nothing new from NCSX... :P
After my vegas trip and reading the forums about the chase figures, I have been told my master case order is on the way
I would like to point out I did not order this from HLJ, NCX or bigbadtoyd
Here's hoping I bag both secret figures
Got my shipping notice from NCS at long last today.
Got mine too. My box should arrive on Thursday.
I guess if I don't hear from him I may still have a basic set of 6 plus Probot available...
I really only needed one piece of that puzzle, and that particular card wasn't damaged. But man, some people simply just don't care.
Was this a lower production run this time, did shops get shorted? He made it seem like they weren't nearly as plentiful as the last series. Not just the chases, but cases overall (although fewer cases also means fewer chases.)

If he falls through, keep me in mind.
here's hoping that DX5 raises the bar!!!
MC arrived today. Just sitting there staring at me to get my work done....
I struck out again with my box from NCS (0-3 for the last three Deluxe releases). Good luck to the rest of you who ordered from them!
I opened my Master Case this morning. NCS is such a pro. They included a note to let me know they had opened the master case just to include the invoice, but left everything else the way they received it. The display was nicely backed against a large cardboard piece to protect it and is mint off the press.
Figures you'd get the chase in the Dignitary. >:(

He's got an extra set of 6 available- :)
Congratulations on bagging the commander, sir. :D
Wanted to know and find out if this had any bearing on the chase you get. Even number Droid and Odd Imperial Lackey
I'd probably be interested if not for that stinking R2.

JediJman out curiosity did you have a number written on your MC? Something like " C/NO...... "
Mine was C/NO. 168 on the outside of the box. Wanted to know and find out if this had any bearing on the chase you get. Even number Droid and Odd Imperial Lackey
Anyone have an R2 they are selling cheap?
Got my box of 12 from HLJ today and.....
No chase. :'(
If anyone still needs, I have a set of 6+ probot available for $85 plus shipping. :)

Bummer. I just don't trust HLJ. I'm sure people have found chases from them before, but per the discussion above, you can easily tell where the chase boxes are after opening a few. They refuse to send out a Master Case and seems like their ratio on delivering chases here is the lowest - just seems shady to me.

Lost here, ya telling me HLJ is shady weeding out the boxes after they get the chases... ???
You still have the spare set of 6, right, Justin? I might have to bite...

I have a spare Dignitary I'm holding for you, but ended up breaking up that last set. All I have left of it is Vader, Antiles, and the Probe Droid. Kinda funny - I thought I would be stuck with 1-2 extra R2s and they were the first the get scooped up.
Cool, nice detail on the TIE pilot...didn't notice those differences. What is that Death Star display from? Is that vintage?
Yep. That is the Death Star Space Station with the trash compactor pulled out. I'd know it anywhere, I have three (at one time I was trying to make a complete pie of them :P). It's great for displays.
Well this will teach me for losing these boxes! Does any know which parts come with which figures?!

Darth Vader = head
Imp. Digntary = body
TIE Pilot = bottom "hub" with arm
R2 = arms "A" & "B"
Leia = arms "C" &"D"
Captain Antilles = greeblie "E", arm "G" and display stand
If anyone is still looking for the Imperial Officer chase, send me a DM. I ended up picking up an extra thinking I wouldn't win the auction :P
