I'm quick like that.  Like a fox, I am!   ;)

But thanks for pointing that out Adam.  Now please go find me an even cheaper Holographic Leia.   :P

He just put one up! lol
check it out quick. 66 BIN I think.

Yep, already saw it, and BIN'ed it!  Pretty funny...

I was hoping to get a Holo Leia a little cheaper, but since there shouldn't be any added shipping costs since he can just combine the two, I decided to go for it.  Can't beat $137 for both of those carded figures!  So now I'm back with the rest of the gang in just needing those uber-expensive carded Sandtrooper and Boba Fett figures.   :'(

Man, I'm sitting here at work seriously tempting to buy the EB set.  I do have a birthday coming up and should get some money there but then I think $130 is a lot of money for 4 little figures.  Decisions, decisions.

That is the main reason I have to stay away from the carded bricks. Plus, I want to open them... considering the cost of Logray/Indy it shouldn`t bother me, but...
Damn crackbricks

Yeah, it's a lot for just the four of 'em Mikey, and not to twist your arm at all but you probably won't find them any cheaper than that (shipped).  So if you're going "completist" on these, this is a pretty reasonable and "cheap" price to get that set at...   :-\

As for the Holo Leia, I'm sure once the rest get released soon, I'll regret adding that one just now, as I'm sure they'll dip down into the $50 range at that point.  Oh well...

So close but yet so far.  :-\

Very nice score on the double whammy.  8)

They might get cheaper (leia), but how many will be from US Sellers?
Probably not too many. You saved 10-15 bucks on shipping alone I`d guess.
On the EB set, won`t find it much cheaper than that, and the savings on shipping
helps out a lot. I have seen shipping on those from overseas range from 15-22 bucks!

Sold.   :( 

And I was this close to buying.

Will probably pick up one of his 5 packs though, pretty good price and hope another cheap EB set comes up.

Was just going to post it was sold  :(
It did go to a collector though, the winner is a member over at Kubrick World.

I just realized that this seller is the same guy I "accidentally" won one of my Series 3 sets off of (with Han chase).  I bid so low on that one that I never expected to win.  Good guy to deal with, so I'm glad we're going another round here...

I also just remembered that DBK kicked my ass by $5 on the best Holo Leia deal, getting his for just $57 ($61 shipped).  So he still holds "the record" on that one!   ;)

I literally called the wife to get the ok and in the couple of minutes I waited for her to get back to me, the EB set was sold.  I was going to buy both it and the TRU 5 pack for $185 combined.  I did buy a 5 pack from him for a pretty good price ($61 shipped), so it wasn't a total waste.  Be nice to see if he sells any speederbike sets for a good price.

Between Scott's SS package (thanks again for the addiction, pal :P), what Brent's sending me, the BH set I bought off James D, the aforementioned 5 pack and a Lando I won on ebay, I've come a long way in a short period of time.  Just need a 3PO and ATAT driver to complete the basic figs.  I'll work on the chases a bit later.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36553&item=5949752655&rd=1

The picture in this auction is from another seller, I am 99.9% sure. I recognize the
leather sofa/chair background. Maybe he bought it from that seller and is just using the pic, but I don`t see that seller in his feed back (I know it was amidal_anakin or something like that).

Not saying this is a scam, just keep your eyes open on this one.




Ok, here is the seller I was thinking of. Notice the background of his/her pics...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5948886343&rd=1

Again, not saying that is a scam, but something to watch for.

Umm, damn. I hate to reply to my own post, but here is the same item from Amidala-Anakin. Looks like the other seller might have taken these pics from him/her.
