Well...there are small display cases for these



Not sure if I've read if anyone has had much success getting a bunch of them however.  I have mine in a wall mounted display case all loose (all of my stuff is loose)



Also, we have a thread over in the Other Toys Section for Misc Kubricks if you want to come on over and check it out FEL!

I have almost a complete set of Matrix Kubricks on the way as well!  I still need Twin 1 & 2 and Morpheous.  Anyone know where I can pick up these other then ebaY?  BBTS, sells random individual figures, seems like an unusual concept.

And the answer to this question is to think of some Kubricks Series like Baseball cards...you buy a pack and you don't know what is inside, there are certain odds as to which figure you'll get (3 out of 12 or 3 out of 24 up to 1 out of 96)  So there are commons found in every sealed case, some rares found in every sealed case and figures called chase that are found in 1 in every two or four cases.  Other Kubricks are sold (like SW) where you know what the figure is inside of the box but there are again Variants (rare paint changes 3 different Boba Fetts) and chases (like the Indiana Jones Figure)

That looks like an acrylic display case, very nice collection.   Thanks for the info and link to that other thread.

O.K. - O.K., but how about those completist among us...chime in at any time.  Are you really getting one boxed and one loose?  Can you really resist not opening a Han to see if you have an Indy inside?

Brent's not talking about opening the individual figure boxes Matt - we all do that.  He's referring to the clear, sealed plastic bags inside the individual boxes that the figures come in, and with the sole exception of Mr. Death by Suffocation Dale  :P, we ALL open ours up to display loose.  There's of course the obvious exceptions of the carded Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker figures though, which no one in their right mind would ever open.

But as for where you can find these, eBay's probably going to be your best bet if you've already searched through the various classifieds and trading boards around the various forums, as well as this thread - where you'll find most of the top Star Wars Kubrick collectors online.  I'll fill you in on the rest of the juicy details on this line Thursday night when we get together though Matt...

And exactly how are you going to fit those clear plastic bags in them D?   ???   :P

Or do you only keep the VHTF Chase figures in their plastic prisons, and you release the rest?

I really need to order some of those little plastic boxes as well. Although I will probably have to put that off, pending a possible upcoming purchase ;)

Poor Indy... He's fallen from planes only to be saved by a life raft, dodged bullets, outsmarted the most cunning boobie traps, and has solved ancient riddles. Yet, for all his wit and intelligence, he's yet to escape the plastic bag of death.

My question is, since he drank from the Holy Grail and has been granted life everlasting, is he still alive in that little bag? He's gotta be going crazy in there...

I haven't seen those plastic display cases on sale in Japan for a long time now. I'm not even sure if they are planning to release them again. I bought about 32 of them and still have a few spare for some upcoming purchases. But I wish I had bought more of them now.
