Nice!

I still have to do comparison shots between the troopers, but they look pretty cool with each other.

My Series 7 cases are sitting in customs in Chicago.... 

Still sitting in Chicago customs...  :'(

Still sitting in Chicago customs...   :'(

It must be the fallout/backup from the big snowstorm they got last week that is keeping them in Chicago.  :'(

At the moment me too, though I expect the price to settle out similar to the Droids R2.

This one is just above the Holo Leia for me. Not very interested unless I can get it cheapie cheap cheap.
I`d rather splurge and get me a Jorge.

Without much delay, the Kubricks (Series 7) have landed.  I think they were here last week, but I haven't been in to the office for almost a week :o  Didn't expect it, but the big box was sitting on my desk waiting for me 8) along with a note indicating I owed the secretary some $$ for customs fees ::)

Opened the master case and all the boxes are lined up, nothing turned around, so we'll see what happens...

Sorry about that Jeff.

I don't have a camera with me, but following Simon's pattern box 1 looks like this:

Scout   Royal G  Royal G
Scout   Leia       Royal G (blue)
Anakin Scout     Royal G (blue)
Anakin Gam. G   Lando

Wacky stuff.

Box 4:

Scout    Scout    Scout
Leia      Anakin   Lando
Royal G Royal G Royal G
Gam G  Royal G  Anakin

That little Gam Guard sure do look funny 8)  Yakface in my case.  Hunting for Anakin now.  BTW, my case number (C/NO) is 204.  

Might be I reversed boxes 1 and 4 but the chases are in those boxes for sure and the middles seem to be blanks perhaps.

Just discussing with drewlam by email that the Yakface being in the Gammorean Guard box is really quite annoying.  I had a guy back out on a set on me and I was thinking no worries as I can just sell the sealed case on ebay but now I can't because I need that third Gam. guard to finish off my own set :-\  So lots of extras out there of other figures because you can't complete four sets out of a master case that has Yakface in it.  Looking like the cases with the chase Anakin would be the better balanced of the options :-\

Yay should have mine soon.
I got a bunch of the army builders coming in it, about 20 of the series 7 ones coming. Cant wait woohoo.
The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

Same thing happened with blue/red snags, all part of the game  ;D
Really, Gam should have been at least 2 per box of 12 if you asked me (and even if you didn`t! ).

Of the 5 cases I had, 3 had Anakin, 1 had Yak and the last one still hasn`t been cracked open yet. Usually all of the cases we get have the same chase fig...




PS. my case was #23 or 24 (too lazy to go back a few pages and look).
The cases were all over with the numbers this time though, no consecutive numbers this time around.

PPS: Over 1000 posts, woohoo!
