Title: 2007 Medicom Collectors Box Set
Post by: rdm5777 on March 5, 2007, 11:42 AM
This probably isn't the right place but I've lost track of where the discussion of the Kubrick box set with the Snowtrooper is.  When is this expected to hit & is e-bay going to be our best bet on this set?

Odd, I can't find the thread/posts either. I believe they are shipping in Japan either later this month or April. Ebay will most likely be the best bet as they were mail-order and limited to one per household in Japan only. BigBadToyStore, which is the only retailer i've seen offering these, may still be taking pre-orders for them...

They are all mixed in the other threads.  Things sort of got spread out when we split up the old thread to set up the new forum.  We can just use this thread going forward to talk about the set...

The set was supposed to ship in April to those who ordered from the Medicom Club.

Like Madcow said, the only place I've seen with a pre-order is BigBadToyStore.com (http://www.bbts.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MED10113&mode=retail) and they are also saying an April date, but I'd expect May is more likely.

It was supposedly due out some time this month, but it's obviously looking like it's going to probably be a May release at this point, unfortunately.

I am very tempted to track down an "opener" for both Droids Fett and Droids R2-D2 to go with 3PO.   ::)

Hopefully there is a Series 8 announcement next week so I can start obsessing over those and skip the opener Droids thoughts...

My friend in Japan told me Series 8 will be announced this month, also that Medicom cut back on the #s, at least that's what their shop said .

Title: Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
Post by: Morgbug on April 20, 2007, 06:13 PM
By #s do you mean production numbers of a given series or the total number of series in a year?  I'm guessing the latter, which I can live with.  I can live with the former too. 

If they are cutting the number of series, maybe they're not going to lean into PT stuff.  A resounding "yippee" if that's the case.
Title: Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
Post by: Crackbrick on April 20, 2007, 06:36 PM
This is what I was told:

"Medicom Toy reduced new Kubrick of Star Wars product numbers this time and
All of Wholesale stores of toys are troubling by it."

Things sometime get lost in translation, so I don't think to hard about it.
We just discuss stuff and to be honest we sometimes misunderstand each other.

We will get a better feel about what this might mean once Robby starts to take orders.
If he dishes out the same amount he always does or doesn't mention lower #s then what I was told won't mean much.

Unless we see a drop in what ebay and yahoo Japan have to offer, just have to wait and see.
I honestly don't think this will amount to much but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Good question.
I'd say it would not end up like the TRU sets because its Exclusive to memebrs of the Medicom club online, one per address...BUT...BBTS took pre orders, so I'd like to know how they got their hands on that many.
Maybe they intend it for another release?
Who knows with Medicom.

Title: Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
Post by: Morgbug on April 29, 2007, 03:38 PM
From what I know about it, it was a member exclusive, but there was no limit on production.  So I'm guessing they made exceptions for the regular overseas retailers like BBTS and if you had 8 friends living close by, you could get as many as you liked.  I don't think there's much of a requirement to join the club, so long as you pay and live in Japan/HK.

The only thing I can see preventing it from falling in price is the snowtrooper.  First box set with an Imperial army builder like that and a cool one too.  Me, I think series 8 is going to have a snowtrooper and they're delaying the announcement to ensure they sell as many of these as they can.

That's the best explanation I heard as far as BBTS and other retailers.
I figured out the other part though as far as people in Japan ordering them.
Tomo was seeing how many people he could get to order for him so he had a few sets to go to people over here.
Not sure how he made out yet though, have not heard from him just yet.
Makes sense.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was just basically wondering if I should go ahead and pre-order from BBTS or if I would end up being able to get it for half the price on Ebay. I'm torn, but think I'll have to order it since I really want this set. What is the actual retail price of the set from Medicom, shipping included, in US dollars?
Title: Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
Post by: DSJ™ on April 29, 2007, 08:37 PM
6090 Yen = about $50.95 US. Based on the auction I posted above, shipping on that one was $17. US.

6090 Yen = about $50.95 US. Based on the auction I posted above, shipping on that one was $17. US.

This is pretty much what I paid for mine from my friend in Japan.  I had to cover the retail cost, the shipping within Japan and then shipping over here.  Mine might be here by the end of this week 8)  Those auctions Jay posted are high, so if you can handle waiting, I think it wise.  

It's the usual early rush on ebay, so even waiting a month will probably save you $20 or more and it'll drop to around $60 in time maybe?  Ok, maybe not that low with the $51 retail price but you never know.  What I have no clue on (amongst other things) is whether Medicom takes orders and then makes a certain amount based on pre-orders or whether they have a set production run regardless of orders.  If they do the latter and it didn't sell that well, then prices will drop.  If it's the former, not so much price droppage.  

Just happy mines on the way and here's hoping the snowtrooper appears in series 8 as well ;)

My total cost was $85.80

That's retail
Shipping within Japan
Shipping to the USA
and any Paypal fees or bank transfer fees on the part of my friend.

Not as good as BBTS, but then again, no exclusive was ever up for presale by a major retailer before so I was leary when it came to ordering from them.

BUT still better than ebay, so I'm happy.

I'm still trying to figure the BBTS thing out.  I have so many questions about it...

If Japan retail was around $51 and then they have to pay to ship them to the USA from Japan, how are they making any money at $60? 

It doesn't make sense for them to sell them at basically their cost like that.  There is no way that they could have ordered them directly through Medicom any cheaper, that is something that has never happened before and it would be a huge violation of Medicom's agreement with LFL if Medicom sold to a USA merchant directly... 

I just don't get it I guess.   :-\

It still seems a bit strange to me.
If Medicom was going to make them available to some retailers, why not a wholesaler like Robby in Japan?
I didn't think they sold directly to retail anyhow.

I guess I'm just generally in the dark about the entire Medicom system.

Clicky for larger images!


First impressions -

Luke/Yoda - Fantastic!  Yoda is not removable at all (molded to the pack), but does have articulated head/arms.  What a great idea and perfect for a box set like this.  I was worried he'd be back-heavy, but I've had no problems getting him to stand.  :)

Droids C3PO - er, yeah.  I actually dislike this figure because it increases my desire to track down a loose Droids R2 and Droids Fett.   ::)

Snowtrooper - Another winner!  Great detail in his armor and back-pack.  Many army builders will be sore he's in the box set because he's definitely worth hoarding.  :)

B-Wing Pilot - could have easily tried to re-use Bossk parts, but he's all new.  Removable helmet means many customs pilots can be made.  :)

2-1B - originally the figure I was looking least forward to, but he turned out really, really good.  A bit wobbly thanks to his legs, but amazing detail in his head and torso.  He has a bit or wethering/wear to him that really makes him look like an abused medic droid.  :)

Boy I hope you are right about the snowtrooper. Having all but given up the Hasbro line, hoarding kubrick armybuilders is my new favorite hobby.

I traded Doc for his B wing pilot, so I have one to start modifying right away. Although I may have to wait for BBTS to confirm shipping my sets before disfiguring it.

Regarding the beer and ebay... You've probably heard about the idea of having to blow in to a breathalyzer before you can drive- well, apply it to computers and maybe you've got a product worth licensing to SW fan wives everywhere.

Also found this:

No toys were made for SR, only resin kits or papercraft models. I have a resin kit of Louie & the Valley Forge. Have a look in the link below:

I did not order from them... as stated previously, the whole BBTS pre-order seemed fishy to me because none of the other usual Kubrick sellers (Robby or Spanky) were taking pre-orders for the set.  To be safe, I went to a different source.   ;)

You guys will have to fill me in on your other sources.  The only places I have found to get Kubies (outside of our group of course) are BBTS and Ebay.   :-\

Spanky is a retailer in Japan, not sure of the link.

Robby is a wholesaler and you have to own a business to order from him.
(I order through a friend and we are at our limit as to how many he can order on his CC.  He orders for a few people)

Tomo is in Japan and runs a service, although he is going through some insane stuff right now and needs to get things in order before he can get back into the swing of things.
He is a great guy and is always fair with his fees.  You can see a link to his blog and website at www.imatoygeek.com

My one other source is just a friend in Japan that gets me stuff from time to time.
I don't ask, I wait for the offer to get things like the Box set because its exclusive.
I don't like to torture them and have them run around looking for toys all the time, I appreciate all the help I have gotten and the work they go through to send stuff to me and I don't like to push the issue.
There are a billion things in Japan that I would want that you cannot get here!
But I only ask if certain things other than Kubricks happen to easy to find etc.
I've had people ask me before to ask if they could get certain items, but again, its not practical for me to ask them to search for a billion people, they just could not do it and it would look as though I am taking advantage, I value the friendship to much, I honestly could care less about the toys, its just a bonus.

When it comes to Star Wars Kubricks, allot of them are just as hard to find (or just as expensive)when you live in Japan let alone trying to get them anywhere else in the world, I'm talking Limited Exclusives or even chase figures in some cases.

Whats mentioned above is a good example, Robby and Spanky not taking Pre Orders, the set was supposed to be only available on line through Medicom.
So someone still needs to explain BBTS...

Title: Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
Post by: Morgbug on May 11, 2007, 11:25 AM
I'm in the same boat largely.  I have a friend in Japan that helps me out.  I don't ask for too much, or try not too.  We started out trading figures, back near the end of Episode I because he had the HTF Hasbro figures and all he needed in return was Canadian carded figures, something he avidly collects from the modern line.  So we traded, but quite quickly I ended up having all the stuff I needed from him.  But he still wanted Canadian carded figures and since I was out anyway, I kept picking them up for him.  And I've been doing it now for 7 or so years.  I sell them at cost and shipping because I'm out there looking for myself anyway.  That paid off for me in recent years with help on GG and Medicom stuff.  And it's been great. 

I do have a membership at Robby.jp as well, so that's helpful but only when they get stuff which obviously doesn't always happen.

But much of my collection, outside of the chase figures and carded figures have come from ebay, same as most everyone else.  I just seem to usually be in less of a hurry than most people to get them or maybe having just a little more patience.  Maybe I'm drinking less. 

Either way, I'm as caught up as I intend to be on this line, outside of someone offering me a legitimate chase Ewok vile demon thing for a reasonable price and that ain't gonna happen.

Post by: nitro on May 11, 2007, 10:17 PM
There is always that chance with any kind of preorders because they are alloting a certain number of pieces for shipment. Their supplier could always back out and send less sets than expected due to shortages or other reasons.

They're sold out at BBTS. And I can't find any on eBay. :(

Totally bizarre...  I just wandered over to BBTS to take a quick gander at the status of this box set, and it was listed right at the top of their Kubrick section as "Pre-Order", so I went ahead and placed an order for one (Collector Grade), which was completely processed and verified through e-mail.  I was about to hop back in here and mention it to anyone still in need, but as soon as I went back to the main page and checked their Kubricks out again, it was listed as "Pre-Order - Sold Out".  So judging by the looks of it, this set went back up for sale (pre-order), and I somehow managed to buy the very last one...  Wow.  Very lucky timing, I guess.

Now, fingers crossed that they come through, 'cause their prices sure as hell beat the ones on eBay for this set!  I've had good luck with them before, dating all the way back to Series 2, when Scott and I lucked out on that entire wave of 9 (including the Indy chase) for a surprisingly affordable $130.  Boy, those were the days...

I noticed that too when I went there this morning to check on my pre-order's status. I then inquired customer service about the shipping status if it was still expected to ship this month after biening pushed back from April. Here's the response.

"We unfortunately do not have any more accurate arrival date information on this product, sorry. Manufacturers often do not tell us when items will be ready until the items are either in transit to us or about to ship to us. Manufacturers also often experience delays in the production or shipping of products so its hard to establish a specific release date. We will update our listings once more specific release & arrival information is known. "

This is exactly what happened to me with the cereal Kubricks (Frankenberry, etc.) a while back.  I wanted the complete set with hologram versions, but they were sold out.  One night while online and drinking (but not on ebay) I stumbled into BBTS while googling for the damn things.  They had a set, I ordered it, went back and it was gone.  I got the confirmation email and sure enough they came through with the set when it came into stock. 

This is a very cool set by the way.  I haven't opened mine, but it's been a nice little run over the last month, getting a big Fett, big and little BHS and this box.  Mmmm, kubricks.

This should be good news for everyone else as knowing my luck they will start showing up everywhere now and soon be going for a third of the price!

I'm glad I got one before they got too out of control, but I would much rather they show up through BBTS so I have even a remote chance of having multiple snowtroopers. Even if they do show up in a future wave, it looks like that would be 11 at the earliest, sometime late 2008 or early 2009.

Congrats $100 is a very good price at the moment...

This means one of two things:

1 - Seller didn't know how much he could get for it (the last 3 on ebay have gone for nearly $200!)

or

2 - They are about to start delivering on this (finally) and seller wanted a quick sale

I suppose time will tell...

Just received from BBTS:  :(

Hi - after repeatedly emailing our distributor in Japan about this set, we finally heard back from them via Medicom:

"The manufacturer (Medicom) has confirm that they could not deliver it to the wholesaler due to a licence problem with Tomy on this product only. "

Due to this licensing problem, our distributor in Japan was unable to receive any of these items. This situation has never happened to us before and it sounds like it was unusual on their end as well. I'm truly sorry for the problem on this item, but due to the licensing issue in Japan, we will not be able to get any product or fill any preorders. We will cancel all orders and remove this item from our website - sorry!

Thanks

Well, I'm bummed that I'm not getting them for the BBTS price, but I wouldn't have paid much more than that for the set anyway, so I don't feel too bad about this.  Sucks for the hard core Kubie buyers, but I already feel ripped off at $10 per figure.   :-\

Congrats on nabbing one Scotty.  Too bad on the price, but I really don't think we're going to see any more of these pop up anyplace...

So does anyone else have this pre-ordered at ToyWiz.com? Every time I check the product info, the ship date changes to the current month. I'm assuming their running into the same issue that BBTS did, but ToyWiz must think they'll get them eventually.

As long as you don't mind that the weapons are missing which seems to be what they are on eBay lately then yeah, might be best to buy them individually. Check the completed auctions to keep track of what they have been going for.

Well, so far I've been able to get everything except the Snowtrooper by buying them individually.  The 2-1B and B-Wing Pilot came with their original weapons too (or at least that's what the auction said ;)).  Granted, I've paid about $150, but I'm really hoping I can get the Snowtrooper I still need for less than $150 ;D

Everything else looks common to me except the 2-1B 'weapon'.  Heck, the Luke/Yoda comes with the exact same items as the Series 4 Bespin Luke.  Speaking of, anyone have an extra complete Series 4 Luke they are looking to part with ;)

The Snowtrooper is the bugger. $50 (bin), $60, $61, $77, $78, $89 all from appleheadbb, 6 loose Snowtroopers. Oy!

This loose box set was a good deal at $122.50 but again no weapons.  :-\

My bet is that they had the same distributor as BBTS. They never got them in, it just says sold out on the site. I finally canceled my order yesterday. When I called them on the phone Jan 3rd the rep told me that the distributor keeps pushing the date back on them, i.e. they're not getting them :( Luckily I got this set months ago for what I guess would be considered a steal at 178.00 compared to what they've been recently.

I can just hold out hope then I guess. If I see it on ebay I would try but $300 is way too much. And I would want ones that had weapons not the ones without like someone has been selling on there.

Don't know anything about the sellers, but a couple of heavy overseas sellers appear to get factory rejects/extras.  I assume they either work there or know someone who does.  Not a big stretch to find something similar happening at the Mediacom production facility.
Title: Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
Post by: BrentS on January 7, 2008, 10:10 AM
I bought a couple of these without their weapons on eBay.  I'd subscribe to the theory of "rejects".  The Blackhole Stormtrooper I got had stray silver ink on the backside.  When I first saw it, I thought maybe its a reject.  However, for a display purpose it looks fine and I can get extra blasters from other figures.

Yeah, so far for the four figures I have, I've spent $160.  That's also without the Snowtrooper.  So once you factor in that those have been going for about $70, I'm in for at least $230 for this set...

Glad to see someone making money off of these in the secondary market.  Too bad they didn't just make 4x as much though and let peopleadd to their collections for something less than the price of a TV.  Honestly, this set is party the reason I'm letting my kubie collection go.  Its one thing to not be able to get the variants, but making a box set of five pretty commmon characters this difficult to get is ridiculous.   :(

No, I don't know.  I'm sure its a lot harder to collect in a foreign country because there is a ton of stuff that they don't have access to versus a few exclusives.  A lot of people in other countries probably don't have as big of an income to support their collection or as big of a house to display it in or clean drinking water for that matter.  Of course, I also don't know of too many SW toys that I could buy locally then sell overseas for 400% their original cost.

My comments are geared more towards exclusives of any kind.  Is it cool for you to have something in your collection than 99% of other collectors can't get?  Sure, but how does that make the other 99% of collectors feel?
Title: Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
Post by: Scott on January 28, 2008, 10:54 PM
To me that's the nature of collecting...not everyone can have every thing. 

And, Kubricks aren't mass produced Hasbro figures where every town in America with a Wal Mart can get you the same crap for months at a time, this is a very limited release item that was even less distributed than was originally thought to be, hence the high price.  But, its still cheaper than most chase figures on a price per figure cost, to me that's still reasonable, but to me, I'll pay $100+ for one chase Kubrick no problem, let alone 5 glaring wholes in my collection.  Those high prices have always been with this line and I don't even bat an eye any more...but maybe I should :-\

But if anyone wants to drop $100 per figure for that box set, I can probably live with those glaring holes in my collection. 

I still think the snowtrooper will come out, but now it looks like it'll be at least two years down the road once we get past another prequel movie.  Then it will show.

Post by: skyward72 on January 29, 2008, 08:44 AM
I'm with you Scott.  If you bought the 5 pack at 369.00 that works out at to 74.50 per figure.  Thats probably better then any five chase figures you would buy.  Its still steep to say the least, but these items are not readily available to the general pubic.  That fact alone creates some novelty to these products.  Plus they are kinda neat.

I'll still do Bricks N Beer, but most of what I get I'll sell.
I don't even think there is one Brick in the 8th Series I'll keep.
9 has a few I'll want though, like Doku, Jango and the Clone.

My completest days are over.

I'm into the Koto Magnets now, much cheaper and easier to find...well some of the chases are becoming a bitch!
But such is Japanese stuff.
At least they aren't $100 a pop.

Late to the party again. I guess it's my lack of interest in the prequel figures.

Although I actually just had a friend in Japan and told him to look for series 8 for me, even though I wasn't originally interested. Thought if he could get it for a great price that I'd pick it up.

One set just sold with BIN for $99.00.  Hope one of you guys got it.

I hope so too. Damn lucky person whoever it is though. I look on ebay several times a day on my off days and never luck into something that good.

Is this the auciton you were talking about?

Clicky eBay Auction (http://"http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-STAR-WARS-Kubrick-Figure-BOX-Snow-Trooper-AFA_W0QQitemZ190216223266QQihZ009QQcategoryZ751QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem")

If you look at the description it is for a 2006 boxed set (Luke Skywalker, Imperial R5 Unit, K-3PO, Ten Numb, Wicket Ewoks)  I am Sith and I are debating and this the picture is probably wrong.

Yeah, strange that in the title, the seller mentions STAR WARS Kubrick Figure BOX Snow Trooper (http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-STAR-WARS-Kubrick-Figure-BOX-Snow-Trooper-AFA_W0QQitemZ190216223266QQihZ009QQcategoryZ751QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) & yet the description is for the STAR WARS Kubrick Figure BOX Luke Skywalker  (http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-STAR-WARS-Kubrick-Figure-BOX-Luke-Skywalker-AFA_W0QQitemZ190216222334QQihZ009QQcategoryZ751QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) which he has for a bin of $49.99.

Title, description & bin boo boo.

Holy crap on a stick Batman, this has to be a record for a loose Snowtrooper! (http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-WARS-Kubrick-SNOWTROOPER-JP-exclusive-Rare_W0QQitemZ370052062986QQihZ024QQcategoryZ48972QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)  :o

Why not just spend the extra $150 and get the set?

The winning bidders bidding is just nuts, he upped his bid after being outbid at $125  ???

I completely agree with you on this one & to make matters even stranger this bidder won 2 others from that box set within seconds.  ???

Kubrick C-3PO JP exclusive  (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370052062998)

Kubrick 2-1B JP exclusive (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370052063005)

Plus to top it off, both the Snowtrooper & 2-1B do not have the weapons included! 

So $211.51 for 3 loose Kuby's. Oy!

Just an FYI that I spun off all the "Tomy Superdeformed" talk into the existing thread (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14696.0) over in the Other Collectibles area. 

Feel free to continue the discussion over there...  ;)

Any of you openers still have the box/tray that these figures came in and is willing to part with it?  I bought mine piece by piece and I'm running out of room in my display so I'm looking to box these guys up.  Please shoot me a PM if you'd like to sell your empty box/tray.  Thanks.

Bump

Damn, why didn't I see this (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Medicom-Kubrick-Star-Wars-2007-Ver-Snowtrooper-/220972414578?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3372fb7672) before the auction ended. I mean I did, but didn't pay much attention to it because there's so many of the newer Snowtroopers on ebay.

I'm not actively looking to buy it but at that price I'd definitely get such a hard to find kub.
