Very hard to tell as it's in there pretty darn good but from what I can see there is a very tiny gap between the face plate and the neck brace. I can see a bit of silver in there which looks to be the breathing apparatus.

There are no other differences that I can see, looks like a normal Vader to me.

A nice little surprise waiting for me when I got home.

Wow Dale, nice score. He'll look great with the rest of the carded figures!

I just saw luke storm (3 of them) listed for 33 BIN, if you still need
that one, its a good price. Just search for Star Wars Kubrick and they should
come up.

cheers Adam! just sent a mail to him regarding postage to japan. How daft does it seem getting these things impoted into Japan!!

Cool, hope he can ship to you.
I`ve seen him around for a long time on eBay, I wouldn`t worry about them
being fakes. He`s got 3 of them, looks like he got a case w/ the Luke Storm
in it.

Nice. That's getting a lot closer to what I'd prefer to drop on one of those...

Damn. One of those was a $32.95 BIN with FREE shipping as well! ****. I would've jumped on that one had I seen it...

Just received word from Robby.jp that Star Wars Kubricks Series 5 has been postponed til the end of November. Not too surprised as this seems to be about par for the course for them of late. I personally feel its their way of trying to increase demand and exposure. On my calendar, when they say end of October, I plan on on end of November to begin with. However, it troubles me a bit that there does not seem to be as many releases planned for the Kubrick line as is per usual.

How so Scott? We received two regular series this year and there's a box TRU set on the way. Isn't that about par for the course? The Rebo band was an extra to be sure, but otherwise it seems fairly normal to me.

I've not been too anxious, waiting for the magic day each month (24th?) to see if anything is announced. I wasn't expecting anything until probably next spring with series 6. Maybe another box after the TRU set, like the Rebo bands timing, but that's about it.

End of November? That sucks! Well, we ARE getting 14 new figures by the end of the year so we can't complain (that's if there are 3 Chases of course). I feel a Jabba boxed set coming soon. Is Robby shipping in late November or is the line being released in November? What a bummout. $:-\$

evenflow · « **Reply #1316 on:** October 14, 2005, 11:01 PM »

I just want a Jabba box set. I dont mind the push back, gives me time to save some more money.

Sorry, I was actually referring to the Kubrick World in general. You're absolutley correct in that we are being spoiled with the Star Wars line; I just hope that it continues and does not taper off like other lines have.

Sithbaker · « **Reply #1318 on:** October 15, 2005, 12:00 PM »

Well, this is good news & bad news.
I wanted the figures soon! But having the extra time to save up is nice.
I have a few RAH Stormies on order as well, so the more time to save the
better

But yeah, we have seen an overall slow down of Kubricks this year I think..
I hope that isn`t a bad sign

I just watch a loose early bird R2-D2 go for $51 on Ebay!!! That is insane. You can buy the whole set of four for $100 with the box and everything. I do not understand people sometimes. I bid $25 and I though i would get it for sure. So if anyone has any loose early bird figs they want to get rid of let me know.

I picked up a ghost obi-wan for $13, that was a nice score.

Keep on kubin'
