Got my case of Series 4 Kubricks from Jeff a couple days ago, but unfortunately, no chase Vader. So that means the other two guys that he's giving the other two cases to now have a 50/50 shot at it. Who were those 2 lucky fellas again, Jeff?
I don't know if I've mentioned it in here yet, but yes I bought a
second Master Case of Series 4 off eBay a week or so ago. (I'm a glutton for punishment I guess
). I snagged the box with the Stormie Twins from the case for myself (2x Stormtrooper Luke), and I then shuffled up the other three boxes.
The first box went to Matt - no Chase Vader
The second box is still sitting here, waiting to be delivered to a local guy.
The third box was earmarked for
JesseVader08 but when he passed on it, I offered it up to my brother instead who pulled the
Chase Vader (I just got off the phone with him).
So, that brings my total Kubrick Series 4 expenditure so far to:
$70 - Set of 8 (basic 6 plus 1x extra Vader and Chase Vader)
$65 - Stormtrooper Luke
$57 - Stormtrooper Han #1
$70 - Stormtrooper Han #2 (accidental duplicate order
)
$103 - Box of 12 (4x Vader; 2x Stormtrooper & Stormtrooper Luke; 1x Hoth Han, Bespin Luke, Emperor, & Nien Nunb)
$365 Total, which looks something like this:
6x Darth Vader
3x Stormtrooper
2x Emperor Palpatine
2x Han Solo (Hoth Gear)
2x Luke Skywalker (Bespin Gear)
2x Nien Numb
1x Darth Vader (Dagobah) - CHASE
3x Stormtrooper Luke - CHASE
2x Stormtrooper Han - CHASE
From the above total, I’ve got 12 extras that I'm selling:
1x Set of 6 - $60 (sold to local MN collector)3x Darth Vader - $21 ($7 each)
1x Stormtrooper Luke - $65 (which is the price I paid for Luke on eBay)
1x Stormtrooper Luke - $57 (which is the price I paid for Han #1) (sold)1x Stormtrooper Han - $70 (which is the price I paid for Han #2)
If my plan works (and they rarely ever work as well as I envision them working), the final cost for my full set of Series 4 (plus 1 extra Vader and 1 extra Stormtrooper) will be reduced from the
$192 it was last week down to
$92... and that is much more palatable for 11 little plastic men.
Of course, I've had to put in a bunch of work and cash to get to this point - over $850 on 8 boxes of 12 (the first "screwed up" master case and the second "real" master case) - but I hope it will all pay off in the end.
