KUBRICK SERIES 4 FULL SETS 9 PCS

Quote
  FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS : PLEASE ADD USD 28.00 FOR BUBBLE ENVELOP + REGISTERED AIRMAIL + HANDLING CHARGES

Ya ******* nuts! $28. for shipping in a bubble envelope! Thats a big junk of change to spend to have it shipped like that and have them damaged! Moron!  >:(

Was seriously thinking about purchasing it until I came to that part.  If I'm paying $300+ with shipping, they better come in a ******* box with a **** load of peanuts.

Yep, I've been eyeing up the complete sets as well.  I'd can my box order at HLJ but I'll be out of time to do that soon enough.  My target price had been $300 including shipping and insurance.

Just checked my tracking, my packages are in the US!
In NY, so only a few more days! I hope by Saturday, hate to wait the whole
weekend with no kubbies!

Mine just came in too.  It's sitting up in SF.  Hopefully it'll get here by tomorrow.  Fingers crossed.  EMS does come in on Saturday AND Sunday by the way.

Sunday? How does that work. I`ve never seen Sunday mail around here  ???
I think during Xmas, maybe if they are back logged.
I just hope they don`t come while I`m out & I end up having to wait till Monday
anyway.

How far from SF are you?
I`m in PA, maybe 2 1/2 - 3 hrs away from JFK. I figure it has to go from the airport,
to the sorting facility, then to the local one the to my PO then to me, 2-3 days I`m guessing, but I hope I`m wrong  ;D

Feeling a little smug at seeing this auction

I paid less than $75 for both.  Granted one was loose, one was on a "damaged" card but still.  Now I need to find me a loose or damaged card R2.  Thanks Andy Tong >:(

Interesting to note that the Vader/Han/Luke chase are not being snapped up at the $90-100 price range.

I noticed that too, and am very happy about it.  The less people that are impatient to get it, and pay the high price, the lower the price will drop in the long run hopefully.

If anyone happens to get two Luke Trooper's please keep me in mind for a trade.  I have a Han for you.  yujun, I would love to trade with you, but due to the United States and Singapore thing I would rather trade with someone closer by.  Hope you understand.

I'm sure hoping my box has the stormtrooper chase in it (either).  It would be nice to trade for just one figure and buy only one rather than having to but two or all three :'(

I guess it's all greed really.  Sometimes I wonder why these arses don't offer free shipping, after they've already charged 500% more than what they paid for.  Grrrr.

Great stuff, nice way to end the week.  ;)

Keep a tab on those placements of the Kuby's gang, so far I think we have 2 different placements.  :-\

I will try, but with 3 of us opening, it might get tricky. I`ll have my camera
at the ready and will ask them to open slow so I can keep track. I might even
wait to open my case till they are done.
Although, there will be alchohol involved, so I better write stuff down as we go  ;)
