Kubricks / Series 5

Forget it, people.  I was the one who pounced on one of the Darth Lukes.  I was super-excited and then when I got back from lunch to pay him, I had an e-mail from him saying that he made a mistake and that he had to cancel them.  (But I had already won it, and it still shows that I won it for $23.88.)  He offered to sell me the full basic set of 6 for 59.99.  I told him to forget it, as I already have someone who's got them for me...for cheaper.  So I told him I only wanted the chases.  He said he may be able to get me a better price for the 3.  Hmmm.  Let's see.  J-off!.

Hey, now all we need is a Chewie in chains (as 'prisoner') and we can play out the 'Death Star Escape'...

I don't know.  My guess is that the Stormtrooper Luke is in the Luke box (as a Luke chase figure).  The other Luke chase (the Darth Luke) would be the Darth Vader chase, and the Stormtrooper Han would be the Stormtrooper chase.

But those are just guesses.

Hey, it looks like the third chase figure DID turn out to be Luke in Stormtrooper disguise.  Yess!!!!

No, not yet.  But I know I will be getting it.  He seemed so eager to keep me satisfied.  You know, I started to get suspicious because of that.  What happened was that I ‘won’ the auction at the beginning of June.  But when I still hadn’t received it last week, I e-mailed him.  He said “oh, no, no, I promise that I sent it that same day. . . here’s the tracking number.”  Sure enough, he had sent it.  But due to ‘incomplete address’ it was being sent back to him.  And here’s where it I started to panic: He tells me “oh, don’t worry. . . I’m sending you another one – just give an alternate address, just in case. I promise I'll send you another one”.  ANOTHER ONE???  Jeez, I thought they were so friggin’ rare…

Anyway, I figure I’ll give it till week’s end.

one more thing, notice the seller, madsontoys... they keep listing lograys.. ever wondered why they have so many of them??

AWE, FRACK!!  That's the eff-ing dude who I bought it from!  (Grumble, grumble.)  Does he refund payments?

Who cares.  He'd better refund my cash.

Hey there, juaan.  It's so cool how we've all sorta gravitated to this place.  It's great to find a common ground for us nuts who seem to dig the heck out of Star Wars AND Kubricks.
:)

PS.  How much longer do you guys think it'll be before we've all got a hot little Darth Vader Kubrick in our hands?  Mine're gettin' itchy.  LOL

Yeah, I saw those posts from a few pages back (thanks, DSJ).  There really didn't seem to be anything to make it easier other than seeing if the baggie is tampered with or not authentic.  I'll wait until this week when it comes in.  Thanks, Kub-buds.  :)

Now, about those series 4 'bricks, there haven't been any popping up on eBay yet.  So far, it's the same guy posting 3 sets without any chases.  I can't wait for them to finally be here.  And this time, I'm not waiting so long to get all the chases.  Not giving them a chance for the Fakers to be made.

Man, Medicom sure knows about designing awesome boxes, don't they?

I will be passing on it, though.  Kubricks and RAH figures will have to do for me.  Can't wait to get my RAH Darth Vader this month.  It is coming out this month, right?

Like I said, I haven't got mine yet.  But just to be ready, do you guys know any surefire ways to know if it's a Faker?  Any photo comparisons?

Hey, those were some fine guesses for series 5 chases.  Boushh Leia's almost certainly gonna be one.  Blue Snaggletooth too (with silver boots - hee hee).

My guesses:
- Yoda with a cloth robe and a snake
- Imperial Gunner's chase could end up being Grand Moff Tarkin (there was 2-pack 12" figure set in '97 - oh! and it also came with an interrogator droid, that could be Tarkin's accessesory..that would be awesome!)

By the way, has a thread been started with predictions for series 5 yet?

Thanks for the welcome, guys.  :)

My collection?  Well, not counting series 4, I got pretty much 90% of all the Star Wars Kubricks.  This means all three series, the Early Bird set, the Biker Scout Luke and Leia set, the Toys R Us set, and the Max Rebo set.  I also practically starved for a month to get my never-to-regret 400% Boba Fett.  :)  Now I'm just working on getting all the chase figures.  So far I got Indiana Jones, the 6 Cantina Band Members, Sandtrooper with the white thingy, vinyl Jawa, squinty-eyes Han, and (on it's way, I just won an auction) Logray.  (Fingers crossed.  Hope it's not a fake.)  I have decided to stay away from the carded figures and the any of the Boba Fett chases.  At least for now.  Although, I do have Hologram Leia.

Hey there, Sithb!  Good to see someone I know over here.  :)

Hee hee.  I think they probably plan to put out all the cool Han figures (from the old line) as Kubricks.  And there are a lot of variants from all the main characters for them to choose from.  So I don't worry about there only being a few Lukes, when there are so many Hans.  As a matter of fact, I'm hoping Bespin Luke will have a chase figure here.  Maybe he'll be Dagobah Luke.  Same pants, but with a tank-top.  Or maybe even a Stormtrooper Luke.  There was that Death Star Escape 3-pack from Kenner that included Luke and Han in Stormtrooper gear, with Chewie as prisoner.  (This one wouldn't be considered the Stormtrooper's chase, but the Luke chase.  Hmmm.)

But, yeah.  There'll be more Hans, people.  We have to accept that.  LOL
