Is there no Toy Exhibition this year? I thought there would be due to Medicom celebrating their 15th birthday. Does that just leave Wonderfest as our only chance to see new Kubs in the wild?
-
Not seen anything thus far...
-
so, update on the 21st? does Medicom still do that?

They're usually held at the end of June so I'm guessing unless there's a date change there won't be one this year. :'(

It's the 23rd of each month and yes they do still do that. The last few months haven't been kind to us in terms of Star Wars updates though.
-
It was about this time last year we learned what DX3-4 would be, just as DX1 was available and DX2 around the corner. So, hopefully the drought ends...
-
Looks like it's straight after the wonder fest show.

Yep, looks like the show runs from July 30th to August 22 (http://www.medicomtoy.co.jp/information/ex2011.php) this year.
I would guess that we will find out the various exclusives in the next week or two...
-
15th anniversary carded Boba Fett and a carded Stormtrooper will be available at the show. wow ::)
Looks like the carded Fett is the J-slot chase from the Boba Fett series.
-
crap... i want that... shoot- at least i only need one of the two.
-
BBTS had both of these up for pre-order, but the Boba Fett is now sold out (missed out on Boba and could only get the Stormtrooper). Not sure if they'll end up getting them or not, but for $43 I'm willing to take the risk on the Stormtrooper.
-
missed them... anyone have pictures of them?

BBTS has them both back up... Medicom Toy 15th Anniversary Exhibition Exclusive Kubrick Stormtrooper & Boba Fett (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1243&company=38)
-
Awesome, thanks Dale, I was able to get the Fett. Now BBTS just has to deliver on the pre-order!
-
I'm tempted to pre-order that R2 at $40. Anyone from MN ordering from BBTS in the near future?
-
and i changed my mind... cant wait for the chase price to drop. ;D
-
Just found this pic on yahoo auctions.

I guess the boba card is cool :-\
-
Just checking through the pictures on Instinctoy and spotted this
100% TC-14 with a vac metal finish.

Sadly the photographer's aim was more towards the RAH TC-14 so no details from the card in front. If he's by himself them he'll be on a card I guess.
-
Has anyone compared the carded Boba to the regular chase version? I don't remember the rocket being removable on the chase...also it looks like green paint on the chest is a lighter shade...although I may just be imagining that one...
-
TC-14 with vac-metal can only mean a 3PO soon- That would definately be spiffy, especially next to chrome-dome R2. I was thinking I wasn't going to get R2, but if C-3PO is likely, that makes it more tempting.
My carded Stormtrooper came today (ebay $40). I know I didn't need it, but I like it. ;D
-
Wasn't the removable limbs carded C3PO vac-metal? I don't have one yet, but I thought he was...
-
I just jumped to that thread, and you are correct! I had forgotten all about that figure-
-
So it looks like the vac metal TC-14 and the Real Steel sets are the only new unannounced kubs we're going to get from the show. I was hoping for DX5 and 6 and maybe some more non-SW releases. On the flip side it still hurts every time I think of those Ghostbusters kubs so maybe we're better off not knowing till an official update on the medicom website.
Another thought is we seem to be in for a drought till December and DX4 as I can't think of any kubrick releases (sw or otherwise) between now and then.
-
thats still good news, i need time to recover from from SDCC

Well five months is better than Hasbro's track record lately. ;)

Got my boba in the mail today. This is a sweet carded kubrick and well worth the price he is going for now at bbts.
-
Anyone have any idea what is the limited quantity of this edition like?
-
Received my 15th anniversary carded Fett a few days ago. I can confirm that it is the J-Slot version:

Bored in photoshop. The rocket doesn't actually fire, but it would be cool if it did.

Sweet! Does the rocket fire on the j-slot chase?

Hehe, just playin'. It doesn't really fire. Didn't think my photoshop FX looked convincing, but I guess I should've added in some flames and stuff. Too much free time today. :-[
(Edited my above post so that there's no confusion. :))
-
Color me gullable. ;) Looked convincing enough to me!
-
Very cool work for just playing around!
-
Thanks! I've got a grey haired Ben on its way, so you can expect a double telescoping lightsaber hoax from me sometime soon. ;D

Can I ask what you paid for it? Still hoping to get one of these, but the prices haven't come down much from what I've seen...
-
My winning bid was $80. The final price tag after fees and shipping is gonna be around $115. More than I wanted to pay for it, but not too bad I guess.
Keep watching yahoo auctions, I think you'd be able to find one for that price or less eventually.
