Good lord, 470 for a full set?  Crazy...Based on the ratios, I can't believe anyone is going over $320 for a set ($60 for the 6, $60 for JarJar, $100 for Saesee, $100 for Aurra).

I guess everyone is going nuts because it's been so long since we had new series or something... ???

$470. shipped is a steal compared to the auction I posted yesterday at $522.99 shipped.

Star Wars Kubrick Series 8 COMPLETE CHASE 9pcs

Also I noticed that this Kubrick Series 8 Secret Jar Jar Binks was bin'd at $89.95.

As for my MC, it was in Vancouver, BC customs on April 26 & is now being processed at Richmond,BC. Should be here by the end of the week.

Maul - As seen in the pic above, his saber is actually in two pieces so you can have a fully lit double-saber or just one side lit.  Very cool and not something I was expecting to see.


That's a great feature to have for Darth Maul -- he looks to be the best of the bunch.

A fair deal for full chase at $470 in consider the rareness so far observe from the internet. Now i wonder what price will end-up with the next release of S9......

$300-$320 for a set of 9 was the going rate for almost all of the series before this one, I think people are over reacting and thinking there will be a shortage of these (like the box set)

So this is the answer i got back from robby..

"Chase" means a secret figure?
If so, whether you can get it or not depends on the carton.
If you purchase it by carton(4boxes), you can not always get a secret
character.


There was more to it about the Halo kubricks and chases were not in all the cartons, not sure if this is true or not. I guess i am just out of luck.  ::)

Wow, that gives me all the confidence in the world that my money was well spent :P.  The main reason I decided to get a MC was to guarantee a common and rare chase.  I'm not sure what to do if there is no longer that guarantee.  I really want to see what happens with the remaining 7 MC's that Jeff got from Robby...  Right now we have an n=2 with one person getting a chase and one person not...  We need a bigger results population...

Now this totally sucks for evenflow and I feel horrible for him.  However, it has gotten me to wonder... if the overall case ratios are to be believed (1:96) and there are master cases without any rare chase, does that mean that there are master cases out there with 2 rare chases?
