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

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

Sounds fishy to me if he says he will send you another one.

Here we go gang. The first regular Darth Vader Kuby opened on the auction block. So I guess that may confirm that the Luke/Vader is the chase.

Well that's pretty cool then.  I like that there's a difference with the mask as well.  It's a very neat chase piece.  Kudos to Medicom for it. 

Interesting too in that you would neat a lot of Vaders to display all the options:
Vader helmet and mask on
Vader helmet off, mask on
Vader helmet and mask off, Anakin head
Vader helmet off, broken mask on Luke
Vader helmet and mask off, Luke head
 :P

I think I'll be ok with just three, helmet on, Vader and Luke.

Me too! Would like Helmet on, Helmet off and the Luke/Vader chase.
These really do look great from the pics were seeing, some of the best yet!

According to that auction the release date is June 5th so me thinks he made a mistake or like thats July... 5th now:o

Just got word from Hong Kong.  Here 's the breakdown per case of 12.

* DARTH VADER with Lightsaber ratio : 4/12
* STORMTROOPER with Blaster Rifle ratio : 3/12
* EMPEROR PALPATINE with Emperor's cane ratio : 2/12
* LUKE SKYWALKER  in Bespin outfit with blaster ratio : 1/12
* HAN SOLO in Hoth gear with Blaster ratio : 1/12
* NIEN NUNB with Blaster ratio : 1/12

Taking a look at this auction for the Stormtrooper, the ratio is 4/12.

So do we have?

DARTH VADER with Lightsaber ratio : 4/12
STORMTROOPER with Blaster Rifle ratio : 4/12 EMPEROR PALPATINE with Emperor's cane ratio : 1/12
LUKE SKYWALKER  in Bespin outfit with blaster ratio : 1/12
HAN SOLO in Hoth gear with Blaster ratio : 1/12
NIEN NUNB with Blaster ratio : 1/1

I noticed that too.
Maybe there are 2 different case break downs, I think it was mentioned here or
over at KW a few days ago.
Maybe the one with 3 Stormies and 2 Emps has 3 Han Stormie?
I hate not knowing!

Sweet.  You know, Hasbro sure could learn a lot from Medicom - we get both Stormtrooper disguises in the same wave.   Now THAT's how you generate happy collectors.  8)

Until you have to pay 100 bucks for them or something  ;)
Could you imagine the beating Hasbro would take from collectors if
they had hidden chase figures in their assortments? lol
