Thanks guys!

I agree with Dan; I'd love to see a vintage style Jawa. They should do a pick-up wave of characters they left out of the DX waves, ie that Wampa from the DX2 background card and the Gonk droid from this one (it's sweet, his legs are just regular human kubrick legs, haha.)

Got my Mos Eisley display set up. A little bit jumbled but it's a work in progress...

His Parco sandtroopers have dirt spots on their black pauldrons, whereas the DX3 trooper ones are clean. Interesting tidbit for variant fans...  :D

Is the Fett Series J-Slot the same as the carded J-Slot?  Ugh, if so I overspent on the J-Slop from Ebay at $67.   :P


I think they're probably the same. The carded one has his rocket removed and displayed in the bubble--not sure if the original one was removable or not. At least you got the official "vintage" J-Slop. ;D

Yay, BBTS filled my preorder for the carded "J-Slop" Fett! Didn't know if they were gonna come through with them. Hopefully the rocket fires.  ;)

True. I've kept Obi Wan out of the speeder after realizing that his cape would get dinged up if i tried to squeeze him in, and I don't want to take his cape off cuz of the waste of vinyl/saber issue you mentioned. Might be a convenient excuse to pick up the grey haired version.  >:D

You're going to need a better excuse with the prices that thing is commanding.  I  want the graybeard, but have yet to see one for anywhere close to $100.   :P

I don't think I'd even pay $100. Prices on it seem to be cooling a bit on Yahoo so if it ever falls to around $50-60 I'll get it. Would've been cool if they had done a cantina band member type thing and packed half the obi boxes with white hair and the other half grey.

I need to do the same for Obi-Wan. I have him sat in the landspeeder because it's the most obvious place to put him. However I also feel it's a waste of the vinyl and lightsaber features so an extra would be nice.

Nice! You should put together some kind of star wars kubrick coffee table book or something.

Luke is one of my faves from this wave as well. I need to pick up a spare so I can have one in the landspeeder, one wearing the poncho and use the extra poncho for b&w boba fett. I didn't realize you can hang the saber on his belt-- that's sweet.  :)

Did you actually see it sell or just see a new listing for it?

I just saw it listed as out of stock, but they had/have the regular set for sale as well as a background display (for an excessive $110.) So I figured  they must've opened up a master case or something, had Owen for a short time and then somebody snapped it up. But yeah maybe it's a place holder cuz that price does seem low compared to their usual gouging.

Congrats on the Hammerhead score, Justin!  :)

I saw that Brian's Toys at one point sold an Owen for $110, so maybe watch that site and other online retailers in case another one pops up.

I saw that this morning, and it was briefly at $330. Guess that's how quick Hammerhead's price is skyrocketing.  :) Congrats on snagging it.

I'm one of the ones who pounced on a full set from the bay. I thought I'd be kicking myself, but so far I'm definitely glad I took that gamble, and really pleased with the set.  Though I am kicking myself about not going for some of the first auctions I saw on yahoo when DX3 first dropped.  Kubricks are all about kicking yourself or worrying about eventually kicking yourself...

Originally I thought it was a different decal/sticker design for his body, but on closer inspection that doesn't seem to be the case. So the only difference I see are the brown coils on his feet, which on the early bird edition are yellow.

That's a bummer, and real shady if he knew it was a custom haircut (or was the barber himself.)  I'd say JediJman's suggestion sounds good. If the seller were to give you a partial refund and let you keep Luke, it would definitely be worth it to hang on to until you see another one. Might be worth it to keep even without the refund--it's a sweet kubrick.  If you resell it down the line and  mention the hairpiece in your auction you'd probably still get 20-30 bux for it.

Prices are high so far, so I'm gonna pass on this one like I have for the carded vintage anakin, han in carbonite etc. Too cool looking on the card and too expensive for me to open just for the small color variations. One day I'll track em all down loose though.   8)
