I'm still trying to figure out if this is a box set or essentially Series 11? ???

The link says 1344Yen, which would seem to indicate they will be sold separately as a series and not in a box set...

I wonder that would do for chase figures then?

I think we have to leave open the possibility these will come in blisters.
Although the price is somewhat lower then recent blister releases (e.g. Shadow Guard JPY1575)

Holy crap, that one came out of the blue.  I think those are pretty cool.  Can any of your die-hards figure out what difference (if any) there are in the "vintage toy" version and the Series 1 version(s)?
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on December 23, 2008, 11:47 AM
The Series 1 "vintage" fett was just the standard fett with vintage colors on the gauntlets.  This new Vintage Fett is exactly that - sculpted/painted to look like the vintage kenner Fett.

This new one has a weapon that looks like a classic kenner Fett weapon and the colors are much truer to the Kenner fett.  Also, it looks like his helmet sculpt more closely resembles the kenner fett - he doesn't have a separate range finder on his helmet, it's sculpted right onto the front of the helmet.

I sent off a request for information from someone that can read Japanese.  Those are a must have (and a harbinger of a Droids box set? ;) :P)

Yepper, that is definatelly a vintage Fett modeled after the figure. Also the placement of I guess the shoulder pads are different from the series 1 & chase Fett's. Zoinks! Now with that range finder sculpted to the helmet, what are the chances of seeing a Rocket Fett?  :D

The Droids Fett is different from the carded version too.

Sweet mother  :o!  This is definitely a must have for me.  I wish we had more details on this collection of awesomeness!   The McQuarrie Fetts look fantastic and will go well next to last year's Hasbro figures.

I really want this set!  Hell, I would even like a second to display with my Fett stuff.  Hope these aren't real hard to get.

I am surprised they didnt go witht he prototype boba fett instead of a third white version. Still love this set but it would have been cool to get a prototype version.

Their on pre-order at Medicom's online stores:

http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/project1-6/kubno246.html

JPY16128 for a case of 12. Thats JPY64512 for a MC.
This confrms this will not be a box set release
I wonder what the assortments will be...there may be some chases to watch out for




Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: SITHSPAWN on December 24, 2008, 09:14 AM
Anybody know anyone who is ordering?  I'd like at least a sealed box of 12 if not a master case.  I'm just wondering about chase figs.  With my luck I'll just end up with a bunch of Bobas. :)
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: I Am Sith on December 24, 2008, 09:33 AM
I'd really like to get at a minimum a case of 12.  I'd be ecstatic with a Master Case of these, but a case of 12 will work.  Can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves for chase figures with this release!
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection

16,128 yen = $178.31 US per 12.

Oy!  :-\
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on December 24, 2008, 10:35 AM
blister.jp also have these up for preorder.

Kubrick - Star Wars/Boba Fett: Set of 6 (http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blister.jp%2Fitem10710.html&lp=ja_en&btnTrUrl=Translate)

Reservation price: 6,400 yen for 12 or $70. US.
Selling price: 8,064 yen for 12 or $90. US.

That's s big ******' difference in price from the Medicom store.

Wish the hell they would ship here.  :-\
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: I Am Sith on December 24, 2008, 10:42 AM
That's a huge difference.  I really wish we had a way of getting these at a reasonable price.  I have a feeling that these are going to go for a heafty price on the secondary market.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on December 24, 2008, 10:44 AM
Dale, the Blister pre-order is for a set of 6, not a box of 12...  that's why it looks so much cheaper.

On the Medicom site it lists retail price for the Fetts as 1344 each and 6 x 1344 = 8064.   Also, if you double that 8064 for a set of 6, you get exactly what Medicom is charging for 12 = 16128.  Sorry to burst your bubble... :-\
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on December 24, 2008, 10:50 AM
Ah well crap on a stick! I wondered why the huge price difference, not good at all.  :'(

Well I just hope HLJ posts something on the site in the new year, I may have to go with them like series 10 thus far. But at those prices for a MC, it may be to far to reach like a dream to go to the moon back in the day.   :-\

These prices of Kubys are going to kill us I'm afraid.   :'(

I have said it before & I'll say it again... I miss Robby. 
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on December 24, 2008, 11:01 AM
Yeah, once again it's very obvious how spoiled we were with Robby.  :(

I still haven't decided what to do with Series 10 and I'm not sure what I will do here...  I really, really want to buy a MC to keep the tradition alive, but I just don't know if it's worth it anymore.  I guess I have to hope for a HUGE US$ rebound in 2009 - as the dollar grows stronger, the price gets better...  but if the economy keeps tanking, a weaker dollar could add even MORE cost by the time June gets here.   :'(
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: BrentS on December 24, 2008, 11:41 AM
I defintiely want a set of 6 of these.  I'm not sure I'd be all that interested in the Master Case (or even box of 12).  I like the concept of these but I don't want to sit on a ton of extra Fetts.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Dan on December 24, 2008, 01:15 PM
Skip the boards for a couple of days, and all Fett hits the fan! That Han's hideout site is pretty cool, first time I ran across it- sweet pics!

I wouldn't mind getting a box of 12, or splitting a MC with someone. But I also have no need for 20+ extra Fetts sitting around whining "I'm the last mandalorian!" "No, I am!"
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: SITHSPAWN on December 25, 2008, 12:29 AM

I have heard of toys-chameleon before, never delt with them tho.

Box of 12: 12,200 yen or $135. US.
MC: 48,800 yen or $538. US.

$43.31 less per 12 & $175.30 for a MC. Quit the jump down in cost with them.

They don't take CC payments thus far but do take Paypal payments plus a 5% fee. Looks like you have to pay when the item is instock & they send you a Paypal invoice.

Even with what english is on the site, I still get nowhere looking.  :-\

I was able to submit a pre-order by hitting the pink box right under the pre-order button.

Did you guys get it to add 4 boxes?
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on December 27, 2008, 09:48 AM
Yeah, no problem doing that. The little arrow box for the quantities, I select 4 then hit the preorder button just below that box then it take you to a page to what looks like a review of the order & to add your information but it's all Japanese. I just removed the 4 boxes by clicking "削除" next to the amount of 48800 or it holds what's in your cart.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Outkast34 on December 27, 2008, 04:42 PM
Well, if anyone figures out how to order it and get the English form up let me know. I still get the Japanese form coming up.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on December 27, 2008, 05:23 PM
Ok, me thinks I got the english order form but I cannot add 4 boxes to the order. It only brings up the 1 box which I think is what Dan is asking in his post.

As I mentioned earlier, the little arrow box for the quantities you can select 4 then hit the preorder button just below that box then it take you to a page to what looks like a review of the order & to add your information but it's all Japanese. Don't go there, if you do remove the amount of boxes by clicking "削除" next to the amount of 48800 or it holds what's in your cart.

Click the box that mentions "Please click here for order & preorder this item. You can find the international shipping cost too".

It takes you to another page "Overseas Shipping Policy". Scroll to the bottom of the page & click the "Agree" button.

It's take you to an english order page & gives you the total for the order but for only 1 box of 12. 12810 yen [Paypal Fee 5% Included].

So now this is the brick wall, how in the hell like Dan mentioned do you make the order for 4 boxes. Do you just submit the one order & in the message box ask them to change the order to a sealed MC of 4 boxes?
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: SITHSPAWN on December 27, 2008, 09:39 PM
Well, I have a set of 12 on pre-order now too.  Thanks for the help.  At least I have a chance of getting the regular set.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Outkast34 on December 27, 2008, 10:51 PM

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on December 27, 2008, 11:08 PM
You should get an e-mail on the preorder, I did & only for the box of 12 which is good enough for me.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: SITHSPAWN on December 28, 2008, 01:24 AM
Yeah, I got an email too.  I'm happy with the 12 myself.  I'll worry if there is a chase later.

Sweet mother of all that is holy!  That set is really great.  I'm surprised to see them doing a whole set of Fett like that, but, he does seem to be an ever-popular figure.  I don't think I'm going to try and order a box but I'd love to pick up the McQuarrie, Holiday Special and Kenner versions of the figures to go with the 3.75" counterparts.

Very, very cool.

I got a paypal invoice from them already. I thought I read it as they wouldn't send out an invoice until it was about ready to ship. With the extra fee and shipping it pushed it to over $200  :o
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on December 29, 2008, 09:59 AM

I was debating ordering a box from them too, but if it's going to be $200+ with shipping for a box of 12, then forget it.  :(

Guess I continue to scour the 'net for good deals...  :-\

I received a Paypal invoice too after I received an e-mail mentioning that they are ready to take your pre-order & will send a Paypal invoice soon. I rechecked the 1st e-mail after the order was placed & the e-mail mentioned that "Please check it & pre-pay your pre-orders amount through Paypal. Your pre-order will comfirm when your money transefer is complete".

As per the site:

Quote
If your ordered [in stock] item, we will send you a Paypal invoice in 1 or 2 days. Please check it. We will ship the merchandise to you A.S.A.P after we confirm your payment through our Paypalaccount. We will inform you the EMS tracking number after we ship it.

The site sure as hell did not mention anything about a pre-payment on the pre-order. Sounding for like ActionHQ all over again.  ::)

The subtotal with the 5% fee was 12,810 yen or $142. US.
Shipping is 5,600 yen or $62. US  :o   :o   :o   :o
Total is 18,410 yen or $204. US.

Are they ******' kidding me, $62. US to ship that box EMS! I can get a box of 12 (Series 9) shipped from HLJ for $23. US EMS.

They can go **** themselves, I'm ignoring them!  >:(

Well I guess I'll just hold out & hope that HLJ gets this collection, going to be pricey regardless but the shipping will be better & like I mentioned before I can cancel before they get it instock & I don't have to pay till it is instock.

This set is going to be pricey anyway but not $62. shipping pricey.  ::)

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on December 29, 2008, 04:51 PM
Here's an example that I got in another collecting field I do from HLJ, I ordered this Space 1999 V.I.P. Eagle Transporter (http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS09114) which is a 12" diecast vehicle shipped to me for 2,800 yen or about $30.-$35. US EMS. The box it came in is almost the same size as a Kuby MC, about 1" shorter & the weight would be a tad lighter.

Shipping for a MC when I delt with HLJ bofore Robby came around was close to $45. US not like the $62. US for a box of 12.

I'm not even sure HLJ will carry this set but I can't see why not as it's not a exclusive to anyone, hopefully in the new year HLJ will have them on the site when they do an update whenever that is.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: icruise on December 30, 2008, 07:39 PM
Wow, this kind of took me by surprise. I'm even more surprised that it's essentially another "series" release and not a boxed set or something. I'll have to figure out a way to get these. You'd think that having in-laws in Japan would be a big advantage, but there are still a lot of issues that have to be worked out for them to be able to help me get releases like this. One problem is that they don't like to use their credit card online and most places won't accept a foreign card. And I don't like to burden them by asking them to do a bank transfer or something.

HLJ has the Boba Fett Collection (http://www.hlj.com/product/MEDKUB-246) up for preorder for 14,592 yen for a box of 12pcs. So that's about $160.32 US or for a MC, $649.28 US showing a June release date.

Preorder this item by Mar. 3 to get it for 5% off the regular price of 15,360 yen!

I think I will just get a box of 12, the prices are just way too high for anything more.  :-\

I heard from my friend in Japan today and he indicated that Medicom/Blister informed him that a box of 12 does not guarantee two full sets  :o  Now, I don't know what that exactly means.  It could mean they're simply going with a mixed ratio to assure a certain Fett version is more abundant or it could mean there will be chase figures.  I cannot promise it is absolutely true, just relaying the message I was given.

Not good at all, $160. is a lot if you may not get 2 full sets. Hate like hell to get stuck with any at these prices the Kuby's are going. Might be best just to wait till the sets released & go the bay route & if there is any chase figs then track them down.  :-\

I'm not surprised, I guess.  When was the last time you got 2x full sets of 6 in a box of 12?  Whenever Medicom does anything lately, it's almost always (95% of the time) a "mixed ratio" deal.  I can see the "regular" Fett packed at 3x-4x per box while stuff like the B&W Fett ends up at 1x per box, just like all they've done for all the other SW Series (1:12 figures).

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on February 22, 2009, 05:25 AM
Ok, this is what we have coming out for the basic set:

1: Fett (McQuarrie)
2: Fett (Holiday Special)
3: Fett (Black & White)
4: Fett (Droids)
5: Fett (Vintage Toy)
6: Fett (McQuarrie alternate)

Fett's that have been released:

1: Series 1, Boba Fett - 2 green gauntlets (ESB)
2: Series 1 chase #1, Boba Fett - 2 red gauntlets (ROTJ)
3: Series 1 chase #2, Boba Fett - 1 yellow & 1 red (Vintage)
4: Carded, "Bape" Boba Fett - Series 1 (Vintage Version)
5: Carded, Boba Fett - (Droids Version)

Not including the 400% as they are the same as 1-3, same with the Bounty Hunters carded set fett (ROTJ).

If there is to be any chase figures in this set, what would they be? Some earlier guesses below.

Now with that range finder sculpted to the helmet, what are the chances of seeing a Rocket Fett?  :D

I am surprised they didnt go witht he prototype boba fett instead of a third white version. Still love this set but it would have been cool to get a prototype version.

You think they would do a Jeremy Bulloch Kubrick or a Ralph McQuarrie Kubrick as chase figures?

Or a Tri Logo Fett with unpainted knee  :P

Polish, Mexican, Hungarian, Full Circle, Half Circle...

Thoughts?

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: AndyG on February 22, 2009, 08:47 AM
Maybe Medicom will just surprise us with no chase figures for this particular one character themed set?

If they do put in chases, a rocket Fett in non-production colours (yellow) would be my top choice.

As it stands I'll only be after the vintage Fett so the relatively higher price is one that will be okay to absorb.

Don't forget # 6, the carded Fett from the series 1 carded re-release- both red gauntlets.

I can't even guess what a mandalorian chase would be. I hope they come out with something else for the chases, like leia bespin or luke hoth.

StarWars.com (http://www.starwars.com/vault/collecting/20090325.html) has a featurette on this six pack and it sounds like it's indeed a 6-piece boxed set versus it being a 12 box case with possible chases.

Bah, I'm only after the vintage Kenner production Fett so hope that the reference to box set is something that has been lost in translation.

If it is a box set though, some of those pre-order prices are looking cheap..........
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on March 26, 2009, 11:04 AM
Huh?  ???

If it's a box set of 6, then why does Medicom list an individual figure price (1344Y) on their site?  Usually, if it's a set of some kind, it says "5pc set" or "2pack" right in the listing.  If you look at the Medicom site, the other SW box sets all have "Xpc set" right in the title. 

- Special No.318 STAR WARS KUBRICK 5pcs SET
- Special No.317 STAR WARS KUBRICK JANGO FETT & BOBA FETT 2PACK
- Special No.298 STAR WARS KUBRICK SERIES 2 SET OF 6pcs. COLLECTORS EDITION
- No.246 STAR WARS BOBA FETT COLLECTION
- No.244 STAR WARS SERIES 10
- No.237 KUBRICK STAR WARS SERIES 9


Notice the Fett listing is just "No." and not "Special No." listed. The Fett listing has been assigned a regular Kubrick Serial number (246)?  Why do that if it's a box set?

Strange...  all the evidence points to "series", not "box set".  You would think the Official Site would know what they are talking about, but... do they this time?  :-\
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Morgbug on March 26, 2009, 11:55 AM
I'm leaning to "no" they don't know.  I say this because my buddy initially ordered me six pieces direct from Blister.  He later emailed me to say that 12 pieces, or one box, was the minimum order.  Time will tell, but I'm guessing someone isn't paying close attention.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: I Am Sith on March 26, 2009, 11:56 AM
I'm hoping that based off of the Medicom info and the pre-order info from both HLJ and BBTS that these are indeed a regular series release and there will be chases as well.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on March 26, 2009, 02:20 PM
WTF... over?  ???

I sure would like to know who wrote that article up? Everyplace I see , this collection is sold in a box of 12 & a MC of 48 which puts it in the same boat as a regular series release. Like Jeff mentioned, Medicom lists the individual price for the Kuby's. 

Something I did find interesting tho on this site which I just happened opon, the National Console Support, Inc (http://www.shopncsx.com/starwarskubrickbobafettcollection.aspx), this site is listing the ratios as well as in the blog (http://ncsx.blogspot.com/2009/02/star-wars-boba-fett-collection-import.html).

Quote
According to the product solicitation from Medicom, the ratio of the figures in each factory case of 4 boxes (48 pieces total) will be as follows:

(1) Boba Fett (Mcquarrie) Ratio: 4/48
(2) Boba Fett (Holiday Special) Ratio: 8/48
(3) Boba Fett (Black & White) Ratio: 12/48
(4) Boba Fett (Droids) Ratio: 8/48
(5) Boba Fett (Vintage Toy) Ratio: 12/48
(6) Boba Fett (Mcquarrie Alternate) Ratio: 4/48

The ratio allocation means that every box of 12 Bobas will only contain one each of the Boba Fett (Mcquarrie) versions, two each of the Holiday and Droids variants, and so on. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2009 at JPY15360 per factory box of 12 figures or US$165.90 from NCS.

It's a US based (New York) site that supplies customers around the world with the latest in Japanese video game software, hardware, and toys.

Clicky the About US (http://www.shopncsx.com/about-us.aspx) linky for more info on the site. Jeff or anyone else, have you ever heard/delt with this place? 
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: I Am Sith on March 26, 2009, 04:01 PM
I looked up a couple feedback links I could find on them and they appear legit.  It would be nice to have another cheaper option for these figures (boxes of 12 and MC's) other than BBTS in the US.  I've never seen Toy Tokyo or Ningyoushi stock these in anything larger than sets of 6.  I took a chance and pre-ordered boxes of 12 of both Series 10 and the BF Collection.  Fingers crossed...
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on March 26, 2009, 04:39 PM
Hopefully NCSX comes through. Like you mentioned another place in the US that can distribute for a bit cheaper would be nice. $166.00 for the BF & $126.00 for Series 10 is not bad from the other prices we have seen. Keep us posted.  :)
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: JediJman on March 26, 2009, 11:08 PM
Here's hoping it really is a box set of 6 or evenly packed 2x per box.  It would be nice to track down a full set and not worry about exclusives for a change.  Here's some more food for thought - if this were being released as a standard box of 12 individual packs with chaces, why wouldn't they just assign it a series #?

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on March 27, 2009, 03:08 PM
Oscar and Elmo are good examples.  Like Scott said, they were not Sesame Street Series 3 or 4 , they were just "Sesame Street Oscar" or "Sesame Street Elmo", but they were handled just like the previously two SS lines.

I think it's the same thing for Fett.  It got a standard Kubrick Series number (No.246), but it isn't called "Star Wars Series 11" because it's not technically SW Series 11 - it's just "Boba Fett Collection".

It may have been less confusing for folks if they had called it SW Series 11, but for whatever reason they chose to keep it separate as it's own thing.

Good deal, thanks for the info.  As far as the price goes, Series 10 is only $127, so that's only a $3 increase over Series 9, which is actually not that bad.  For the BF Collection, I thought the initial price from Medicom was significantly higher than the Series 10 price, so I can understand why that's ringing up $30 more than Series 10.  Either way it's still significantly less than what BBTS is charging for their pre-order.

From an e-mail interaction I had with Medicom back in April:

Me:  "Will the Boba Fett Collection have secret/chase figures like the regular Star Wars KUBRICK series have had?"

Medicom:  "We can not answer to the question as it will no longer be "secret".  It will be another exciting assort. Please look forward to it."


Based on that answer, I am expecting to see chases...  maybe not 3, but at least 1-2 of them.  There are plenty of ways they could stick with the Fett motif for chase figures...

- Jodo Kast
- Silver Fett
- "Shadow" Fett
- removable helmet Fett
etc etc

Yep, thats the one I'm hoping for.  ;D

That's exactly one of the versions of Fett I thought of when the possibility of chase figures for this series came up.

I'm expecting there will be chases even though it's not a standard series.  I'm hoping for only one or two although I doubt I'll get one in the box I ordered.  I'm also crossing my figures that, as cool as the regular six figures are, the chase isn't cooler than any of them!   :P

It would also be great if the set was even packed in the box (not counting chase figures) but I'm also guessing that we'll see a weighted distribution like normal series boxes have.  I've been talking with Joe Kersavage (who some of you guys know) about splitting a box with him.  He's definitely first on my list for extras, but I told him if he wants to make sure he gets the set of 6 he may want to put in a pre-order somewhere.

I saw on the NCS site (and maybe it was "confirmed" elsewhere) but the McQuarries are both planned to be packed 1:12.  If I had to guess, unfortunately, the chases would be in the 1:12 boxes as well meaning that even if you get a box of 12 with a chase in it, you might still be missing a regular figure too.

This ratio has been making the rounds on many of the Japanese sites and NCSX (http://ncsx.blogspot.com/2009/02/star-wars-boba-fett-collection-import.html) as well, so I'm guessing it is probably pretty close:

Boba Fett (Vintage) = 3/12
Boba Fett (Black & White) = 3/12
Boba Fett (Holiday Special) = 2/12
Boba Fett (Droids) = 2/12
Boba Fett (Mcquarrie) = 1/12
Boba Fett (Mcquarrie/Johnston) = 1/12
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: efranks on June 10, 2009, 04:09 PM
If that breakdown was posted earlier in this thread I missed it, I'd have to go back and look.  That's not a terrible mix assuming you don't get a chase in your box.  But, on the other hand, I'd rather have to hunt down one of the 1:12 figures rather than a chase figure so that might be an acceptable tradeoff.

Of course, 2 of the coolest figures are 1:12 which I guess isn't a surprise.  The Black & While and Droids versions are less important to me but I really like the McQuarrie designs.

Obviously late commenting on this, but as soon as the indication came that there weren't two complete sets of six in a box of twelve I was pretty sure chase figures would be present.  Jeff's conversations all but confirm that obviously, but I can't see any reason for the odd ratios other than standard operating procedures including chase figs.  I'd think there'd be one HK, one Japan at 1/96 each and a common like the other series'.  I love the speculations on what they might be and it'll be pretty cool when we know.

Chases do sound inevitable, question is will there be more Fett/Mandalorian type characters, more McQuarrie type figures like a McVader or McSnowtrooper or something from Droids like Vlix? What ever they are it should be good.  :)

I'm 50% disappointed with this set.  :P

Well, I had decided not to, but I just ordered a case.  I don't want to take the chance of there being chase figs and not even have a chance of a full set or the chase.  Just hope I can get rid of all the extras.

Dunno. 

McLuke would be boring and much more difficult in this form than Hasbro's.  McVader, if it was a McQuarrie figure, would be the easiest for them with a new helmet and cape. 


Jodo of course fits well.

Coleman Trebor?  Blech. 

Medicom does love their oddities though.

Medicom website still lists 6/30 as the date...  which is the day after the Parco show is over (6/22 -2/29).

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: BrentS on June 18, 2009, 10:07 AM
I've been doing a lot of pondering on the Boba Fett Collection, the price rise from Medicom and poor exchange rates, and the "lack" of standard chase assortments.  It has led me to the conclusion that I'm not all that interested in trying to buy a Master Case for this collection.  I don't think I want to take a 1/4 (or perhaps its more like 1/6 or 1/8) chance at pulling a rare chase out of a box of 12.  I think I'm going to stick to eBay for this assortment.  I'll be happy with a basic set of 6 and perhaps a common chase if they settle into the $35-45 range.  The rare chases would have to blow me away for me to spend the kind of scratch I'm thinking it will cost me to go after them.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Morgbug on June 18, 2009, 10:48 AM
I'll continue buying a single box of a series that I like, but the math just doesn't work out anymore.  $250 for two rare chase, $25 for the common chase (after prices settle out) and being generous $50 for a set of six and dropping $500 doesn't make any sense.  I still have commons from Series 7 and 8 that I've never unloaded so why bother?  If I were in an area say like Minnesota where I could more easily move singles, then yeah, maybe  ;)

I think the Fett collection might be one where you could sell (spare) stuff off fairly easily, but even at that, I'll stick to my one box just for the fun and excitement of having a shot at a chase figure.  But those odds are low for sure.  I've ordered 5 single boxes I think and didn't get a chase until series 9 with the two yellow clones.  I know others that have had better luck though, but it is still a crap shoot. 

I do still hope for some chase in the Fett collection, even though they'll be pricey if they aren't in my box of 12.  They could be quite cool.  I believe they'll be there and I'm getting fired up about this especially since I didn't order anything from Series 10.

Man, those chases are sort of boring...  rocket fett is OK  I guess, but another chase is the vintage colors on the B&W sculpt?  Not that exciting since like Dale pointed out they've already done that one, AND there is a better vintage Kenner paint homage already in the set.  Weird...

2 down... 1 to go?  Or do you guys think it will be just 2 chases this time?

I wonder if the vintage colors Fett isn't the common chase?  Kind of a bummer if it is and identical to a previous chase but maybe something else is different enough to make it special (or less special).  I'm stilll expecting one more.  Hoping maybe is the better word.

I was just getting a better look at the differences on the 2nd chase Fett with the green blaster. From what I can see, the gloves are a light brown instead of the red & white finger tips plus the edging & bottom on the boots are light brown compaired with the black on the vintage Fett. It also looks like the pockects that are painted above the knees are different plus no red line under the belt.

Not sure what differences are on the back till we see more pics.

Ahh the fun of collecting Kuby's, this focus will be the death of me.  ;D

I like the rocket Fett but don't care for the other one that much, it's too subtle.  I'd rather have seen them do that vintage proto paint app version from the case insert or even a different Mando character like Jodo Kast or someone (not Jango). 

It would have even been cool to see a Bounty Hunter that wasn't in armor, although they've already done some of the obvious ones like Aurra or Zam.

After waffling back and forth on how I was going to handle this series (1x box, 1x MC, or in pieces via eBay), I finally decided to try my luck with a box of 12 at NCSX.  Since some of you lucked into chases with S10, it seems like a pretty honest place, so we'll see what happens...   :)

The boring (in my opinion) chases have sealed it for me.  I'm just going with buying the set individually on eBay (well hopefully a whole set of 6).  I hope to get these all for less than $100.

I see you have both the chases Fett's. That Fett with the green blaster, can you post a pic of the backside so I can see what the difference is from the other Fett's besides seeing the green cape on the right side. I really like to see what the backpack & missle looks like & any other parts.

OK, so let's see... the current info we have says:

Boba Fett (Vintage Toy) = 3:12
Boba Fett (Black & White) = 3:12
Boba Fett (Holiday Special) = 2:12
Boba Fett (Droids) = 2:12
Boba Fett (Mcquarrie) = 1:12
Boba Fett (Mcquarrie/Johnston) = 1:12
Boba Fett (J-Slot Rocket Fett) = ?:96  {found in the Vintage Toy Fett box}
Boba Fett (L-Slot Rocket Prototype) = ?:96  {found in the Vintage Toy Fett box}
Boba Fett (Vintage Colors) = ?:96  {found in the Black & White Fett box}

So, if the case ratios that have been reported are accurate, it looks the three chases are being found in boxes for 3:12 ratio figures.  That should mean that none of the figures end up short-shipped in a Master Case (ie no chases in a 1:12 box).


Now we just have to wait for the mega-sellers to start grinding out listings so we can confirm which are the 1:96 chases and which are the "easy" chases.

That's great news for those that want to get a box of 12.  

These chases are the easiest passes for me yet.  (Edit:  Oops, didn't click the link above to realize the chase was all one color like the prototype.  That's kind of cool but likely still a pass for me).

Out of curiousity, for those that will track them down, how are you going to display them?  The only difference in the L and J rockets are the backs of the figures.  Are you going to display them backwards??
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection

I still think that these chases are kind of boring, but I like the L-Slot Fett better than the others.  Seriously considering cancelling my box of 12 order from NCS and just getting the basic set.  But there's always the possibility of pulling a chase...  I guess I still have a few days to decide...
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection

Post by: Dan on June 24, 2009, 02:03 PM
The cost per box of 12 helped make up my mind. I hit a buy it now of $133 for the carded set, and with shipping it should be about the same price or a little less than a box. I miss the chance at the chases, but I think I'm ok with that (for now....).

Actually the L-slot chase has no coloration (solid blue) so I'll be displaying mine normally (if I get on) as for the J-slot version, I'll be showing the back.

I'm in for the new chase as well.  The only chase I'm iffy on is the vintage colors version.  I gotta think that's the 3/48 version, so if it drops to the usual price range for those, I'll still pick it up given the gun is different.  I'll be ecstatic if I score one of the rare chase figures in my box  :o

Yeah, likewise.  I'll apply my usual patience though - nothing until I see what I get in my box (crosses fingers and toes) and then I'll wait longer for prices to drop.  1/96 chase pieces mean $100-110 to me before shipping, so that's what I'll have to deal with.  I'm happy I didn't chase the prequel 1/96 stuff though. 

Oh yeah.  I'll trade Yak Face for the L or J slot Fett, providing they are the 1/96 chase pieces (man I'd be happy if one of them was the 3/48).

(man I'd be happy if one of them was the 3/48). 

Since the J-Slot and L-Slot figures come from the same box, I'm hoping the ratio turns out to be something similar to what the Stormtrooper Han/Luke chase figures were, where they actually ended up being closer to 1:48 by the time it was all said and done.   :)

Ooh, I really like that suggestion.  I really very much enjoy Medicom's attention to vintage detail as much as anything else. 

I'm probably looking at not seeing my box of figures for about two weeks though.  It should go out today in Japan and then when it arrives there it will be re-routed to me.  The wait is killing me especially after seeing the chase figures.

This is what I'm hoping for also, hopefully they will end up at 1:48 prices + "Boba Fett" tax  ;)

I might take you up on this if I end up with one of them.  The L slot Fett is more appealing to me only because it looks different than the J slot version, but neither one is a must have for me.  Yak on the other hand would definitely be in my wheelhouse for a trade.  I'll keep you posted.

The paint scheme on the B&W repaint is actually kind of nice.  Honestly, I'd be happy to pull any of the three chases out of the box that I bought but I may actually go after the two Rocket Fetts if the prices aren't completely outrageous.

I was just checking ebay and the individual boxed figures and sets of 6 are starting to hit.  Seems like the prices are way up, but this may be only due to the fact that this is the first seller that I've seen list them ($100-$110 + shipping for sets of 6 and $30 BIN + shipping for individuals)...  No chases that I've seen yet
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on June 26, 2009, 05:14 PM
Ratios from Instinctoy:

11:48 "Vintage Toy" Fett
10:48 "Black & White" Fett
08:48 "Droids" Fett
08:48 "Holiday Special" Fett
04:48 "McQuarrie/Johnston" Fett
04:48 "McQuarrie" Fett
02:48 "Prototype/Vintage Color" Fett {found in the "Black & White Toy" Fett box}
01:96 "L=Slot Prototype" Fett {found in the "Vintage Toy" Fett box}

He doesn't say anything on the J-Slot chase, but based on the fact that the L-Slot is 1:96 and the regular Vintage Toy version is 11:48, it stands to reason that J-Slot is also 1:96:

01:96 "J-Slot Rocket" Fett {found in the "Vintage Toy" Fett box}


So yeah...  both Rocket Fetts appear to be 1:96 ratio it looks like.  Poop.  :(
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: efranks on June 26, 2009, 05:41 PM
Well, it was too much to hope that the better of the chases would be anything less than 1:96.  I still would love to get one or the other of the Rocket Fetts.

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Morgbug on June 26, 2009, 05:45 PM
Thanks for the ratios Jeff.  I can't remember why I keep thinking the "common" chase should be 3/48.  I looked over the checklist and that number comes up only once, with 2/48 being the more common.  

Is there a HK/Japan split again with the 1/96 stuff?  

Man, I'm looking forward to seeing these in person.  Skipping series 10 has lengthened the drought considerably.

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: StealthTank on June 27, 2009, 07:03 AM
I just finished completing one full set of 9 figures by winning an unpainted rocket Fett on YJA for 19,500 Yen- which by the way I think is a steal for a 1/96 chase in this set.  I cannot believe how expensive this series was to complete.  These definitely aren't your father's Star Wars kubricks.  I would not be surprised to see prices for sets, unopened boxes, and chases to settle at over twice the cost of prices we've seen in the past.  Seriously, what a pain in the ass.

I was talking with another boardmember whom I hooked up with a basic set of 6 plus one chase yesterday and thought I'd relay my impressions of this whole fiasco here:

1.) First, for some reason Medicom more than doubled the wholesale price per box of 12 on this release.

2.) Second, Robby. jp (the wholesale company that most non-Japanese collectors used in the past) has gone out of business.  

3.) Next, though the Project 1/6 store (the Medicom flagship) still has scores of every figure from series 10 for sale, two of the six figures from the Fett collection were sold out in two days (Both Mcquarries 1/12 ratio).  The release seems to be very popular in Japan and overall feels really small compared to others in the past!  (Though the chases seem to be packed completely randomly in the Master Cases this time which is a nice change of pace.)

4.) And finally, the Yen is so strong versus the dollar right now- 95Y:1$ versus 114Y:1$ on the previous OT set releases (series1-7).

I paid over 15 US bucks per figure at the Parco show in Tokyo, and over 500 US bucks total to secure just 2 total regular sets, and 4 total chases (2 Vintage and 2 J-slot rockets).  And this was after I found out which character boxes had the chases!  For a complete set in the past, I could purchase two master cases (equal to 8 boxes of 12 figures) for around 500 bucks total (or 62 bucks per box of 12 after shipping) from Robby and have a complete set (including 2 of the 1/96 chases) with extra basic sets to spare to help recoup most of my cash.  Now it would cost me over 1200 bucks to do the same thing.


Unbelievable!

Just quoting posts from the Recent Acquisitions thread so everyone can see this.

kenji over at RS posted this pic. The backpack is different, I am guessing that this is the rear of the "Prototype/Vintage Color" Fett with the green gun as we have seen the backs of the other Fett's.

(http://threads.rebelscum.com/photogallery/watermark.php?file=111457)

Quite an interesting color scheme.

Weird. Where did this color scheme come from? I think for a little more variety, they should have had a chase use the Vintage 12" Fett color scheme.

I just took a pic of the backpack on my 12" vinty Fett.

Got an email from my buddy in Japan that he has my box of 12 in hand now.  So I'll see them in a while, but for the sake of everyone else here, the price he paid for a delivered box of 12 is $144 USD after conversion.  He'll ship them fairly, so I'm probably looking at $160-165 total cost for my box of 12 making the NCSX price pretty palatable.  I'm getting my box as cheaply and directly as possible.  

As Scott mentioned above this series is quite a bit more expensive, as had been noted much earlier in the thread as well.  

EDIT: EMS shipping for the box is $21 so my total cost on this box will be $165.  Aside from living in Japan and picking up a box at a store, that's about as low as it gets, so the NCSX price looks pretty good.

For the two variants with rockets and slots, do we know yet if they are actually working firing rockets; i.e., do they have internal springs, separate rocket parts, and the tabs work to launch the rocket, or, are they all one solid piece and are just sculpted to look like that?
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jayson on June 29, 2009, 02:02 PM
Judging by this photo, I'd say they're both non-working and there is not an actual channel or spring:

Did everyone else think/know these were sculpts only, or thought they were actual working rockets?  I sure thought they were functional when I first saw the pics.  But if they aren't, that's probably better, since there won't be a separate rocket part to lose.

Like you, I thought/hoped that these were actual working projectiles.  That would have been a cool feature that we haven't seen on a Kubrick yet.  However, I agree that a piece that small would have been easily lost...

Post by: efranks on June 29, 2009, 04:00 PM
In one of the earlier photos that popped up I noticed that it didn't look like there was an actual slot in the back of the pack but was hoping maybe the release would just be a push button and not actually slide up and down the slot.

Whether you can launch the rocket or not, I still think it's cool that they're paying homage to those protos.

It looks like NCSX may be the new, best option for Kubs.  Price differential from Medicom direct after all the shipping costs was only $10 less than NCSX and arrival time appears to be approximately the same. 

I didn't get a series 10 box from my buddy in Japan, so can't compare that way, but for the Fetts, the difference was pretty minimal.

I've seen more of that all gray/blue variant than I have of the colored one with the rocket.  I think the colored/rocket one may be harder to get, although to me it's the less desirable of the two, since it looks identical to the regular version from the front.

thanks  ;D    1 down, 2 to go


yeah ur probably right. they both have the same ration so I guess either one could be considered . I am glad I got this one instead because , like you said, the other is identical other than the back. If anyone needs a common Fett, let me know.

Just got my case and no chases.   :(

My case looked like the following:

HolidayHolidayMcQ/Johnston
B&WB&WB&W
DroidsDroidsMcQ
KennerKennerKenner

So, looking back at the earlier ratios, I think I got an extra B&W and short one Kenner version my box was right on for no chases.  When I opened the box I was hoping for the B&W chase since there was an extra but no dice.  I still wanted a chase!  :P  

So, I'll have some extras for sale/trade later on.  Also, if anyone has the all blue L-slot Rocket Fett for sale LMK, I may be in the market.

I went with a set of 6 on these.  The chase figures pretty much look similar to the chases I already have with the exception of the blue proto.  I think I bought from the same guy you have been buying from BrentS, seems pretty reasonable.

Bummer on the no chases guys, it's a crap shoot on a single case let alone a MC. Really sad the prices have gone up on Kuby's, a MC on these was way too much & having those extra Fett's if you did, oy! I think this is one of the hardest series to complete & the secondary market is making it real tuff on chases now. Sigh!  :-\

Congrats to those on chases so far.  :)

Yep, still a good deal. Like mentioned above a basic set is $90 & the prototype/vintage costume color chase is around $55., that gives you the blue chase a cost of $159.

This (http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-Star-Wars-Boba-Fett-Kubrick-Full-Set-8pcs-NEW_W0QQitemZ280365082104QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item41470fa5f8&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A13%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A50) 8 piece set went awhile back for $200.

The blue Fett's average from $209.99 to $237.03 to $313.58 that have been sold. The $299.99, $400. (changed to $320.) & $450. Fett's are sitting.

Prices on Yahoo Japan Auctions are not much better.  The most recent J-Slot Chase sold for 37500 Yen, which is over 400 bucks US.

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d94833620

My thoughts are that most of the J-slot Chase Master Cases were those released at the Parco Event (where I snagged 2 of them), hence the fewer numbers in shipped cases.

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Morgbug on July 4, 2009, 10:02 PM
I refuse to get overly excited by those prices.  These have, for the most part, only hit within the last week.  So it's the early crazy folk that are dropping huge coin on these (I think the $299 for 8 is a fair deal) chase pieces.  DO I think they'll settle out at higher prices, based on ratio, than the usual series'?  Absolutely, because it's Fett and because they are vintage nods; that pulls in non-Kubrick collectors as well.  But I think the J- and L-slot will settle out around $150 or so and the common around $50.  Those prices are higher than the general prices for the 1/96 and 2/48 prices generally level off at. 

Don't get me wrong, I darn near pulled the trigger on common last night at $54 before talking myself down.  I want all of these but patience must be applied.  $400 for a chase Fett?  Bite me.   ;)

Well, here's a fun story for Kubie fans...

For anyone not following along, I ordered 2x Series 10 boxes and 2x Fett Series Boxes from NCS for about $600 (one box of each for me and one box of each for Jay).  I've called numerous times to figure out when they will ship and all signs pointed to last week.  Of course, I went on vacation at a cabin up North with no internet access all week.

Anyway, I'm driving home on Saturday and go to pay for gas, only to find my Citibank card won't work.  I immediately thought about my Kubie order, so I called citibank to see what was up.  Sure enough, because the order was over $500 for an internet order, Citibank refused payment to NCS AND put a hold on the card.  ARGH!

On the bright side, I was able to authorize future payments with NCS.  I also resubmitted payment info to NCS on Saturday and got an email on Sunday that it was approved, so hopefully my order shipped out today.  I thought for sure this was going to end up with my order being cancelled.

grats on the 2 chases. I certainly dont want to tell anyone on how to sell their Kubs, but you may want to consider selling them a little cheaper. Those 3 listed are all over Ebay and are barely selling for 9.00 each. Just an opinion.

There were 2 to my box. Right now I am sitting on the 2nd chase as I would ideally like to just trade it up with somone that got "J" hook that doesn't want it. I am not holding my breath on that, but one can hope!

Not liking my chances for a rare chase this time around, but I'd be psyched to get two commons...

Well, I opened my box when I got home and ended up with no chases.  Can't complain though since I was lucky enough to get the 4-Arm Grievous from Series 10.

So based on what some people reported today, here's the latest:
evenflow - no chases
bigj22 - L-Slot chase
efranks - no chases
I Am Sith - no chases
Jeff - ?
Dan - ?
Outkast34 - no chases
chap - L-Slot chase
knashdx - common chases
Jayson - ?
JediJman - ?

I think that there is still a box with a rare chase floating around as well as two more boxes with common chases.

Jayson and JediJman, if you guys end up getting two boxes with common chases and have extras, I'll definitely take one off your hands if I haven't gone the ebay route by then...

Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on July 7, 2009, 12:34 AM
My boxes (yes, plural - boxes  ::)) arrived today from NCSX.  

Even after I placed my order with NCSX, I kept waffling back and forth on what to do with this series.  Last week, my Kubrick gene forced me to play the odds and add a second box to my NCSX order before they shipped.  After all, 50% chance at chases is better than 25% chance, right?   :P


Anyway, we cracked the two boxes open tonight and...

First box = Prototype Blue L-Slot Rocket Fett!  Yay me!  8)

(http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/kubricks/tn_bfc_lslot.jpg)

Second box = 2x "Prototype Costume" Fett chase!

(http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/kubricks/tn_bfc_prototype.jpg)


Buying two boxes turned out to be a very good move.  :D

Now that I'm 8/9th of the way done, I've got no excuse not to try to track down a J-Slot Fett to go with them...  ;)

Jeff that is an awesome score and just goes to show how buying a single case or 2 can still reap rewards ;)






I'm having to let much of my mighty collection go this week to help fund the venture, so those looking for some crazy scores know where to look.

If it's you who has just listed a load of loose kubs I'd just like to say you made me cry :( I want loads of them but won't get them due to other pesky buyers :( :P

Awesome score Jeff.  That definitely makes up for your chaseless boxes in S10.  Glad NCSX worked out for you Jeff.

Want to trade a proto costume fett for a S10 clone trooper  ;D ?

Jeff - nice score on the "L" hook. Are you buying a lottery ticket?


I decided that I am going to keep one of my extra Vintage Fett's and bring it to work. That leaves me with 3 extras to do something with.

1x Vintavge
1x Droids
1x Holiday

Post by: Sir Real on July 8, 2009, 03:34 PM
No, unfortunately, they appear to be sold out everywhere still.  I think Medicom manufactures these in waves, though.  Last time I needed some, they were also not available, then later, stores started getting them again, so I bought big at the time, though I'm running out again.  Feast or famine, it seems.  But I have hope they'll become available again in the future.  I sure hope so, since I keep buying kubs.   :)

Hello to you all. I will introduce myself formally another day but I need to ask a question . I have the carded set of these & have just recently received 8 of the 9  'boxed' versions (ebay). Whilst photographing them I was comparing 'loose' with 'carded' because they are exactly the same ...right?
Wrong!  My 'loose' version of 'Johnson & McQuarrie' has a 'patch pocket' on each of his front thighs whilst the carded has just one on his left thigh. The picture on the box & the card shows only one pocket.  This figure is still sealed in its kubrick cellophane & my question is..........."Is mine the only one,have I gone nuts or am I missing some info ? " ::)  If I could suss out how to post the picture I 'll do so later if there is any interest. Thanks bhm.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jayson on July 9, 2009, 12:12 PM
Maybe double check what you're looking at.

The Johnston/McQuarrie (http://blog-imgs-41.fc2.com/i/n/s/instinctoy/boba-colle-kub-22.jpg) Fett shouldn't have pockets at all.

The McQuarrie Fett (http://blog-imgs-41.fc2.com/i/n/s/instinctoy/boba-colle-kub-27.jpg) should have 1 pocket on the left thigh.

And the Prototype "B&W" Fett (http://blog-imgs-41.fc2.com/i/n/s/instinctoy/boba-colle-kub-07.jpg) has 2 pockets.

EDIT: You might be on to something. Looking at Dale's Carded Set (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=19241.msg432770#msg432770), it looks like the Johnston/McQuarrie, uses the legs from the McQuarrie version, making the carded Johnston/McQuarrie a unique version. I wonder if there are other deco difference with the others for indentification purposes?  ???
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: DSJ™ on July 9, 2009, 12:45 PM
OK, WTF... over! I didn't even notice that!

That pic of the McQuarrie/Johnston has no leg pockets as shown on Instinctoy (http://instinctoy.blog73.fc2.com/blog-entry-666.html#more) & even in a baggie!

(http://blog-imgs-41.fc2.com/i/n/s/instinctoy/boba-colle-kub-22.jpg)(http://blog-imgs-41.fc2.com/i/n/s/instinctoy/boba-colle-kub-21.jpg)

As Jayson mentioned, my carded set does have the 1 pocket on the McQuarrie/Johnston as well as my loose one.

Sir Real's has the same 1 pocket as my loose & carded one.

(http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x41/TheRealSirReal/fetts.jpg)

Can everyone that has the McQuarrie/Johnston Fett check the pocket/s on the legs & let us know what you have? Does anyone have one without the pockets or any other variation?

Late edit: As posted by StealthTank awhile back, he got a McQuarrie packed in with a vintage blaster that I think was a factory error in the packing. So remembering that, I think that the pocket variation on the legs maybe a factory assembly error. Pick a part & away it goes.

Still scratching my head on why one of my McQuarries has the vintage gun?!?

CB

That's a pretty tough question, since they're all from such different source material.  I guess I go would withthis:

1.) McQ Fett concept silly mask
2.) McQ Fett concept T-visor

These were the first two versions of the character's development.

3.) Holiday Special (aired 1978)
4.) Black and White prototype armor (screen tested for ESB)
5.) Vintage Toy (based on the color scheme decided upon for the movies, which sould have followed the prototype)
6.) Droids version

Droids technically takes place before ANH I believe, so you could argue for this one to move up the list based on chronology of events.  That said, the show wasn't created until the mid 80's, so that design for Fett was really the last of them.

For the chases, I guess I would put the J and L slot versions right before the Vintage Toy version and the more common chase right after him.

3.) Holiday Special (aired 1978)
4.) Black and White prototype armor (screen tested for ESB)

I'd switch the list a bit...  According to info from SW.com:

1.  McQuarrie concept - original concept for Fett
2.  McQ/Johnston Concept Fett - refined concept drawing to add the final helmet and armor

3.  Black & White Prototype Fett (from a screen test shot on June 28, 1978 (http://www.starwars.com/episode-v/bts/article/f20061019/index.html?page=2)).

4.  "Color Prototype" Fett Chase (Fett first appeared at a California parade on September 24, 1978 (http://www.starwars.com/episode-v/bts/article/f20061019/index.html) and made mall appearances the rest of that Fall '78)

5.  "Holiday Special" Fett (aired on November 17, 1978)

6. "L-Slot" Rocket Fett (1979)
7. "J-Slot Rocket Fett (1979)
8. "Vintage Toy" Rocket Fett (1979)

9. "Droids" Boba Fett (1985)

And what do we do with the different droid's versions- Did one come sooner than the other? What about two red gauntlets? And how long will it be before we get a 1/2 circle fett from Medicom?  ;)

I just lined mine up in the order I opened them, then added the loose droids fett that had been carded, and the 2 red gauntlet fett on either end.

Just an FYI, I used a clear display case from a model car and it holds my 9 Fetts perfectly. I love how they look together, and it highlights them from the rest of the bricks.

The question about order brings up, again, the fact that 3 white Fett figures in this series was maybe one too many.  I can see doing the two McQuarrie versions because the helmets are so radically different, but the B&W figure seems like a wasted opportunity to me.

They could have done the kit-bashed Fett (http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48893) which, while similar to the Kenner figure, is still just enough different that it would have stood out better than the B&W figure.  The final concept kit-bash (http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48894) does have a rather different paint scheme on the helmet and gauntlets from the Kenner figure.

Still, over all, I'm happy with this set for the most part.  Still wish I could have scored tht L-Slot chase, though.

Those are good suggestions, but I like the White Prototype Fett better than these.  The three whiteys do seem excessive - ideally we could have had one McQuarrie Fett and they could have just included two heads since the rest of the body is the same.  Oh well, pretty nice series regardless.

Just an FYI, I used a clear display case from a model car and it holds my 9 Fetts perfectly. I love how they look together, and it highlights them from the rest of the bricks.

Two way to do it:

First I'd go with Jeff's list then throw in all the previous Kubricks last(being that they would be the "Kubrick" mold of Fett 'even the Droids Carded is based on that mold'):

1.  McQuarrie concept - original concept for Fett
2.  McQ/Johnston Concept Fett - refined concept drawing to add the final helmet and armor
3.  Black & White Prototype Fett (from a screen test shot on June 28, 1978).
4.  "Color Prototype" Fett Chase (Fett first appeared at a California parade on September 24, 1978 and made mall appearances the rest of that Fall '78)
5.  "Holiday Special" Fett (aired on November 17, 1978)
6. "L-Slot" Rocket Fett (1979)
7. "J-Slot Rocket Fett (1979)
8. "Vintage Toy" Rocket Fett (1979)
9. "Droids" Boba Fett (1985)
10. Jango (just for kicks)
11. Series one ESB
12. Series one ROTJ
13. Series one Vintage colors
14. Droids Carded (open him!)

OR Second:

1.  McQuarrie concept - original concept for Fett
2.  McQ/Johnston Concept Fett - refined concept drawing to add the final helmet and armor
3.  Black & White Prototype Fett (from a screen test shot on June 28, 1978).
4.  "Color Prototype" Fett Chase (Fett first appeared at a California parade on September 24, 1978 and made mall appearances the rest of that Fall '78)
5.  "Holiday Special" Fett (aired on November 17, 1978)
6. "L-Slot" Rocket Fett (1979)
7. "J-Slot Rocket Fett (1979)
8. "Vintage Toy" Rocket Fett (1979)
9.  Series one Vintage colors
10. Series one ESB
11. Series one ROTJ
12. "Droids" Boba Fett (1985)
13. Droids Carded (open him!)
14. Jango for Kicks

Now I want ALL the chases.

Just looking at the J-slot chase Fett and I'm not sure that a different slot on the back is worth $150+ to me.  That's what my post was in the scam thread, I mistook a real J slot for the regular.  While that's embarassing, I pretty much convinced myself on that basis alone I don't need the J-slot.  So probably only going after the proto and the L-slot.  If these ever settle down in price to more normal pricing I'd go for the J. 
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Jeff on July 14, 2009, 11:12 PM
Yeah, the J-Slot really isn't all that different so I'm willing to be a bit more patient.  I've got the L-Slot and the Color Prototype chases, that will tide me over until I can rebuild the war chest and try to chase a few other things down...

Of course that is absolutely what I have ......no more than a factory error of the McQ/Johnston Boba Fett ::)   You'll hopefully excuse my question asked in the previous post but I was pretty confused there for a minute. The McQ/J Boba Fett seems to be a rarity (singly & loose) on ebay & it is pretty ironic that I now have to search for a normal 'normal' when I've secured all the chases :-[

So, does anyone have all 14 Boba Fett figures yet?  I don't have the J-slot but my all-gray chase is coming in about a week and I'll snap a pic of the 13 then.

I think there ar 13 total:(9 from the Boba Fett Series, 3 from Series 1 and the first carded Droids version.

What about the Carded Series 1 Collection Fett (from the 6-pack)?  If you count carded Bape Fett, you have to count that one too.  

And what about AotC Boba Fett from the box set?  Does he count?    ;D

If you're not obsessed about keeping them prisoner, then the numbers are considerably less.  I have a hard time parting with additional hundreds of $$$ for a figure I already own.  I just wish I'd known the eventual carded Fett from the bounty hunter set was one of the original chase versions; could have saved some moolah there too. 

That's just a really frightening number to get 'all' of them  :o
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: I Am Sith on July 15, 2009, 12:09 PM
Yeah, with 8 of them being repeats, the unique number of Fetts drops down to 17.  That's still a lot of Fetts though...
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Sir Real on July 15, 2009, 01:28 PM
Yeah, I wasn't counting 400%s, carded repeats, or Jangos.

My count:
- series 1: 3
- Fett series: 9
- carded droids: 1
- young Boba from the 2-pack: 1  I thought I'd fool some folks with sneaking that one into the count unnamed, but apparently not.   :)

= 14

Are there other unique 100% Boba Fett figures not in the above list?  I thought all the carded ones except for the Droids version, were repeats/repacks.  No?

You're right, without repeats and 400% figures, there are 14 unique figures.

I just had a momentary panic episode as I was thinking about the carded Droids Fett and now a regular release of the Droids Fett.  Rushed downstairs to see if I had left the carded version on the card - nope :o  Figured I'd screwed myself but it turns out there are lots of differences in the two versions, so all was good.  Whew.

I am Sith and I have a raging argument over the carded Kubricks.  I have not yet succumbed to opening the two carded figures that I have.  However, since I don't have any plans to collect/display the carded figures I really think its only a matter time.  No chasing carded figures saves me a lot of $$ right now.
Title: Re: Boba Fett Collection
Post by: Sir Real on July 15, 2009, 03:15 PM
Which two are those?  

For me, I had a ton of carded figures I was saving/not opening, including the Batman movie series, All the SW stuff, Kinnikuman, and several odd ones like a Japanese soccer player and singer.  I had all my others in cases, and every time I looked at my case display, I missed seeing the others, since they were some of my favorites.  I didn't want to maintain two different types of displays and so I opened all my carded figures.  The first one was a bit difficult but once I cased them all, I was happy I did it.

Having said that, I do still retain one figure on card: the Indiana Jones that came with the watch from last year.  I just like the card that much.

And I'm still trying to convince him to keep at least one of them carded in case he ever decides to reduce his collection and sell it to a certain friend of his...

Yep, I got the Carded Luke at a reasonable market price via eBay back when my collecting habits hit overdrive.  The Blue Stars Snowtrooper was acquired via a neighbor who has a brother living in Japan (sort of like Dark Helmet's brothers-fathers-sisters-uncles-newphews's former roommate type thing).  So in either case, I haven't really spent a lot of these carded figures so I'm not stressed out over the opening of them.  I just haven't gotten around to it (just in case!).  I do have one "loose" figure in the Black Hole Stormtrooper that I got off ebay as well.

Anyway, sorry for derailing the question at hand on the Boba Fett Collection... please resume all BF discussions now  ;)

Yikes!

Not counting Jango there are 13 100% Fetts.
(there are 3 Jangos:Series 9, 2 Pack and Box set version)

The only Unique Carded Fett is the Droids version that is different than the new Series one.
The carded Bape Fett is the same as the Vintage Secret from Series 1.
The carded Bounty Hunter version is the ROTJ Secret from Series 1.

Pretty sure all the 400% are just the 3 versions of the 100% ones from Series 1.

Didn't count Young Boba, would not mind getting that one though.
Anyone know what those run?

Sorry if I just repeated everything someone else may have posted.

I opened mine this weekend - just couldn't wait for the meeting.  So I had a few brews, headed to the bat-cave (my basement) and popped open the Fett box first.  I opened a Kenner Fett box first and inside was a sweet little L-Slot Fett.  I didn't even open any more for about an hour I was so pschyed.  Jay and I decided to split if either got the common chase, so his win with the common yesterday, was a big win for me too.  No chases with my series 10, but we had three chase boxes out of four, so can't complain about that.  Both of us also ordered Gree ahead of time, so S10 and the Fetts worked out pretty nicely.  ;D

I'm not sure if others ordered more than one box, but that looks like 10 chase boxes out of 16 or so from NCS.  WOW.  I will definitely order from them again and thanks to whomever found that site in the first place!

if you were going to put the Boba Kubes in chronological order what would they be?

3.) Holiday Special (aired 1978)
4.) Black and White prototype armor (screen tested for ESB)

I'd switch the list a bit...  According to info from SW.com:

1.  McQuarrie concept - original concept for Fett
2.  McQ/Johnston Concept Fett - refined concept drawing to add the final helmet and armor

3.  Black & White Prototype Fett (from a screen test shot on June 28, 1978 (http://www.starwars.com/episode-v/bts/article/f20061019/index.html?page=2)).

4.  "Color Prototype" Fett Chase (Fett first appeared at a California parade on September 24, 1978 (http://www.starwars.com/episode-v/bts/article/f20061019/index.html) and made mall appearances the rest of that Fall '78)

5.  "Holiday Special" Fett (aired on November 17, 1978)

6. "L-Slot" Rocket Fett (1979)
7. "J-Slot Rocket Fett (1979)
8. "Vintage Toy" Rocket Fett (1979)

9. "Droids" Boba Fett (1985)

Grabbed the blue L-slot off ebay for $169.  I didn't wait until my prediction of $150 hit, but for $19 difference, I'll take it and then wait patiently to see if the J-slot drops down to that mark.  I do want to finish off the chase, but the J-slot I can wait a long time for given the relatively minor difference.  That L-slot was just too nice to pass on.

I refuse to get overly excited by those prices.  These have, for the most part, only hit within the last week.  So it's the early crazy folk that are dropping huge coin on these (I think the $299 for 8 is a fair deal) chase pieces.  DO I think they'll settle out at higher prices, based on ratio, than the usual series'?  Absolutely, because it's Fett and because they are vintage nods; that pulls in non-Kubrick collectors as well.  But I think the J- and L-slot will settle out around $150 or so and the common around $50.  Those prices are higher than the general prices for the 1/96 and 2/48 prices generally level off at. 


In my defense, here's what I wrote some time ago above. 

$169 for the L-slot proto.
$159 for the J-slot
$45 (?) for the 2/48 chase.

So I overpaid just a little compared to what I wrote above but the chase have been posted to Ebay less of late, so I thought I'd finish it out.  I actually lost the auction on the J-Slot but was given a second chance offer so I took it. 

I am actually now thinking that these will drop to normal chase prices, so around $125-150 for the 1:96 and $25-35 for the 2:48 chase.  But it is nice being done.

Wow, that's cheap!  Is it a temporary sale or just a marked down price? 

It's a marked down price, but realisticly they've taken their previous inventory (boxes of 12 and Master cases of 48), cut them in half (boxes of six and Master Cases of 24) and adjusted the price to half of what they were charging in the past.  So I think that they are trying a new tactic to move what they have in such a way that it appears as though you're getting a deal...

I remember this ebay seller sold an exact one a few months back. I was the only bidder then last few seconds I was out bidded. Looked at the history of the other buyer and no record/interest in kubrick figures. After a few hours I was offered a second chance offer to buy the figure. I reported this to eaby of shill bidding and have kept a close eye on this seller

Did you buy the second chance offer?  Will be interesting to see if that happens again...

Hi Guys

First post Ive wrote on the boards
been collecting these great things now since they came out, use to be on Kubrick World as Worldwalker, seems like a long time ago
great to see they still have a good following, great boards as well, have always followed them.
Anywaty question. Got the last of the Fetts today, and on opening it up (it was the J slot) the head fell off.
on closer inspection, its made like the normal Kubricks, not like the Star Wars Kubs, Heads come off, Arms come off, Legs as well
now you can mix and match all the fetts into what ever colour you want, what do you think, loads of variations

Hmn...I'll have to look closer at that this weekend.  I've never looked that closely at which ones have interchangeable parts.  I know making my custom CW Kenobi took a lot of boiling and popping.   :P  Welcome to the boards!

Seriously, did you hit the lottery?!  I think the last time I added it up, you were at about $1000 over the last month!

Yeah, I need to reign in the spending a bit.   :-[   I'm at $910 for the month...with another week to go.  Yikes!  I had a little extra saved up from lack of Hasbro purchases the last 6 months, but have definitely gone over the budget.  Luckily I still have some money coming in from a few sales...

My "J-Slop" Fett  :D is on the way from HK.  It doesn't include the gun - anyone who has one able to tell me if this is any different from the regular vintage Kenner Fett's gun?  Thanks!

bid on the second j-slop he had up... someone out bid me last second. I immediately received a second chance offer  ::),  I passed. Hate sellers that use shill bidders.

anyone have all the chase Fetts pictured? was wondering if the color changes where even noticeable?

I have both series 1 chases and will at some point pick up the J and L slot chases but was on the fence about the DX 1 Fett.

I'm still missing the series 1 chase fetts as well as the L-Slop, the color prototype and the DX1. Out of those I'd most like to get a hold of the DX1 Fett--I like the ROTJ-style tan costume, plus that's the only DX chase I'm missing.
