Well, thanks to DSJ I got my box of 12 series 3 figures.  No chase figures unfortunately.   :(  No big deal though.  But I do have the extras from the box available if anyone needs any Jawas, Han Carb blocks or Wickets.

Here's my most wanted list for series 4:

Darth Vader
Yoda
Luke Jedi
Emporer
Emporer's Royal Guard
Biker Scout

Glad the box arrived Matt, had me starting to think if it was going to get there.

I should have an extra Hybernation Sickness Han for ya when my Logray arrives if you want him.  ;)  Should be here within a couple of weeks.

And the bubble too!  :P  Don't forget, Sandy was a very limited run like Boba so he can command some good $$$.

Just curious? Is the black pauldron the only physical difference between this piece and the standard set 2 chase Sandtrooper?

Yes, the chase White Pauldron Sandtrooper is the same as the carded Sandtrooper. Both have the long rifle & the same backpack from what I can see.

The Orange Pauldron Sandtrooper has the small blaster & an ammo pouch on the left shoulder plus the backpack is different from the other Sandtroopers.

Cheers DSJ, thanks for the confirmation! Might just make do with a custom for display purposes  :)

Why they haven't release a  standard Stormtrooper yet is beyond me . . . the moldings all done . Medicom should just bang 'em out and skip the orange distressing!

I'm sure as the series moves forward, we should will see Stormtrooper's & maybe Snowtroopers. Theres alot of figures they can produce that have not been done thus far. Just hope they stay away from rehashing more Han's, Leia's & R2's etc for the time being & get some new stuff out that will make the collectors buyer friendly.  ;)

I think that's gonna be the route that I take as well, since I'd like to do "carded" and "loose" of all unique figures.  I can handle that with the $75 Droids figures probably, but at $300+, there's no way I'm buying an extra black Sandtrooper to open...

I just pray that they don't make any other rare carded figures that are more unique than the two they've already done (same Fett, easily customized Sandtrooper).

Happy New Kubrick Day to you all.  ;D

My mission tonight is to hunt down enough 5 packs to keep everyone happy. I just want to apologise in advance if  I am not able to get the packs as I will probably have to battle other Kubrick enthusiasts. to get them.  I just organised my ride for a trip around town tonight and I should be able to let you all know tonight. If I can't get any, a new hunt will be on tomorrow.

Wish me luck.

Good luck Simon!  Thanks for all the effort, even if you don't manage to come up with enough for everyone...

You kick ass, mate.   8)
