Kubricks / Series 2
« on: February 14, 2004, 06:11 PM »
All the Endor Set are accounted for now guys.  I think this is the list. 9 in total.

Me
JediMac
BigDumbWookie
OCB
DSJ
Morbug
Padwan
and 2 guys I can't remember because I had a big computer crash. Those guy know who they are, so can they mail me again.

 Sorry I can't do anymore at this stage.

Thought I might chime in at this stage with a comment on the Japanese second-hand market, as I think this is a big impacts on the price of the older Star Wars Kubricks.

About 2 weeks ago, all sellers who sold a certain number of Kubricks in Japan (and perhaps in Hong Kong), were sent 2 free Kubrick Boba Fetts each. I read this in a letter that I recieved along with some Carded Boba Fetts that I bought. This is why you have seen an increase in the number of them for sale and the slight decrease in price. It probably won't last for long though as there weren't many sent out. A few weeks ago I found 10 for sale in Japan. This week there is only 1.

Also as for the Earlybird Sets, after Series 2 was released, there was a surge in popularity for the line, as is happing around the world, and there was a rush to get at the few Earlybird Sets that were on the market and the prices doubled. That could account for some if not most of the dramatic price rise.

I don't think the weakening of the dollar helps either.

Just my thoughts.

That 500 pieces mentioned refers to 500 being given out at a show next weekend in Tokyo. The other 1504 are mail order only. Unfortunately I can't get to the show due to my real job, so I'm banking on getting one mail order. Hopefully a couple more if I'm lucky.

Also the virtual mail box wouldn't work because everthing Medicom ships is COD.  

Maybe one of these days, Medicom will generate enough interest to release their stuff OS.

What was the ratio of variation Kubrick Boba Fetts for Series 1? 1:96 or 1:48?

I sent 8 cases to a guy in Hawaii once. The cases cost $17 and the shipping was over $20 from Japan. They are packed with alot of heavy cardboard to prevent breakage, as they are pretty fragile.

Can you believe the price of this auction?

Kubrick Series 1 Box of 12

I think Padwan got an extremely good deal for $89 for a set of 6.

Oh and by the way, welcome to Matt and Padwan.

Finding a thrashed one would be near impossible I think, seeings as they are bought by adult collectors like myself who are slightly neurotic about condition. I did see a loose Luke and Leia from the Early Bird Set a while back though. Funny thing was he wasn't selling Chewie or R2.

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.

I reckon it'll be

Vader (1:12)
Emporer (1:12)
Jedi Luke (1:12)
C-3PO (2:12)
Ewoks (3:12)(different Ewoks in Hong Kong and Japan)
Biker Scout (3:12)

Chase Figures
Emperors Royal Guard (1:24) and:
C$%$ Knocker (1:96)aka Mark Hamill with giant fist from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Going out on a limb with this one but it's fun to speculate. Also it would open the way for a great Kevin Smith line of Kubricks. Medicom have suprised us with Spider-Ham and Indy in the last couple of  series.

And the phrase on the counter box will be

"Don't f@#% with a Jedi Master, son" along with a picture of Jedi Luke Kubrick. ;D

(PS Maybe this debate doesn't belong here, but Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back is the best of the Kevin Smith movies 'cause it had the most references to SW)

Hey guys. I don't need prepayment for the Endor Sets. That's cool.

I reckon this R2 is going to be tough to get, if it's going to be 2004 pieces only. I'd like to help you all out but, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get one for myself.

Episode 1 / Bonus Battle Droid Packs
« on: January 14, 2004, 05:26 AM »
Does anyone here collect the bonus Battle Droid 2 packs? I have 16 of them so far. For any collectors out there, what was the hardest one to get if any? Which one did you have to pay the most for? Was it hard to put an entire collection together? How long did it take? :)

Here's the scoop on the Endor Sets. 3 per house hold this time. I've got 3 households lined up. I'll let you do the math. Adam and Matt, I got your mail. Anybody else who's interested, please mail me.

Bring on Series 3.  :D
