It looks like the Spirit Obi-Wan, Bespin Han, etc. are indeed going to be a box set. C3PO and the others will be series 3. I wonder what the price tag will be on the box set? I would also assume it will be a collector's club only item just like the Early Bird and the Speederbike set.
There was a price on it I think Jon. 4800yen if I remember rightly. Could be wrong though.
And DaBigKahuna, I think that that's a good price for the Speeder Set. Those things are really hard to come by on the second hand market in Japan. I've been trying to get one for a friend for a month now with no luck.
-
How are they going to fit the carbonite casing in a box?
-
October? We have to wait that long! :-\

I wouldn't be surprised if the box set comes out earlier though.
-
I hope so, we need a Kubrick fix in the meantime. ;)
Yeah, that carbonite block is big. If it comes in the same size box that we have been getting, it's going to be a tight squeeze. It may have to be put in corner to corner.

Simon, thanks I will keep that in mind, JediMac knows me = I'm frugal so I will probably try to hold out a bit longer.
Brent good memory. Guess what movie my signature is from...anyone. My 12 year old son just shared it with me.

As soon as anyone finds these for preorder, let us know :) Hopefully HLJ will have them soon

one of my all time favorite, funniest flicks - kung pow: enter the fist.

I think Spirit of Obi Wan will definitley be a chase figure. Maybe Paploo too. The Droids may be the Boxed set by themselves. What do yo think? Han?

Hmm I still think Spirit Obi and Paploo (and Bespin Han) are part of the box set. Japanese companies dont usually reveal chase figures, not even for public relations. We'll only know what the chases are when they've released them... Can't wait!!
-
How are they going to fit the carbonite casing in a box?
Good question, I'm wondering that myself ???. Maybe they'll use a bigger box? Or maybe it'll come unassembled? Or maybe its just the optical illusion playing on us! :D

Confirmed as Series 3 and Mos-Quito is correct, we won't know who the chase is until they release them...and it won't be one of the ones previously shown
Simon...put me down if you've started a list for wanting a Box Set
-
Put me down for a box set as well, and naturally, Droids Fett if you're able to get those when they're released :)
-
I am very curious to what the chase figures will be.
And Simon, although we have spoken already, doesnt hurt to say again put me down for the box set and the Droids Boba Fett.
-
Also wanting to please get my name in for a box set. I suspect chuckles will as well (Jim). 8)
-
I better add my name to the list. Although Simon has already done more than enough good deeds for me already. ;)
-
Yeah, box set for me too please. 8)
Just a quick note, Andy has till 12:00 noon MST to produce those R2's at my door step tomorrow. It's neg day. >:(
-
Also wanting to please get my name in for a box set. I suspect chuckles will as well (Jim). 8)
Yes, I'll take one too, please. :)
-
Glad to see I got in first :P Hopefully these sets will be plentiful...I'm wondering how they will be packaged

1 box set for me too.
-
Hey sorry everyone. Don't jump the gun on the box sets. ;D They maybe just released as a regular release in which case it would be best to order them through HLJ. If it is a limited release, I'm not sure how many I could order so it's not much point in making promises at this stage. ;) After we find out how it will be released, we'll work on it from there.
-
Got my cases...they're great but I now see Adam's problem. No Footpegs or stands to go along with them >:( I only screwed around with them for 5 minutes last night but they are the perfect size for most Kubricks. Some of the Fatter ones (which we don't have a problem with in SW) don't really fit.
So...now the quest for stands...I've thought about 2 sided 3M Tape but not sure if I want to put something sticky on them
REAL Stands might be a possibility, see if they can make us all up a batch...anyone know of some of anyone else that works in plastics and could make a few 100

Got an email from Founder at Kubrickworld...seems like he got a Berryesque cease and desist from Medicom over the Parco images :o

I can understand Medicom getting upset about the Parco images. I just hope they don't make Founder take anything else away from kubrickworld.
Just ordered three acrylic cases for my carded Kubs from Oscar's cases. Anyone else order from them yet?
-
Yeah I have two cases and they are slick...unfortunately I only have one Carded kubrick to put in there
And an update on the Johhny Lightning Cases...I figured out if I nail them to the wall I wouldn't need stands...they should be able to stand on their own in there. Its gonna look sweet! I promise you that

I get all of my cases from him, he's a great guy. I should be getting another carded Kubrick case and an Endor box set case from him pretty soon...

Did that Sandtrooper trade come through for you Jon?

Medicom Kubrick Star Wars Carded Boba Fett BAPE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5905539347&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)
Thats one hell of a deal even with that defect!
-
I just think the market is finally settling down a little as Supply is catching up with demand...less people want a Fett right now
-
Did that Sandtrooper trade come through for you Jon?
It should be here Wednesday or Thursday. Only bad thing is Frank sent it UPS. If they crush the box there will be hell to pay. >:( Needless to say I have had plenty of bad experiences with UPS. The postal service is the only way to fly. ;)
-
Hope it gets to you in one piece. :)
I will have a display case coming sometime this month, a very nice acrylic case from Oscar for my Endor set. 8)
If you need a display case or 10, just send Oscar an email. ;)

Thats a pretty wierd defect and looks pretty nasty. Wonder how it happened.

Our investigation has determined that the seller is at fault, and as a result we have attempted to recover your funds.
$216.17 USD has been credited to your account. This is the maximum amount we were able to recover. Please allow up to 5 days for this adjustment to
be reflected in your account.
Well, a small loss then, but certainly one hell of a lot better than dumping $200 plus. Dale, you and I need to chat.
-
I think I'm personally screwed out of the $100+ I dropped...its been almost 4 months and I can't leave feedback anymore >:(
-
Yeah, I can't leave feedback ethier! >:(
$216.17? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Son of a, I will kill him!
On one good note as per the aholes profile:
No longer a registered user (http://contact.ebay.com/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?ReturnUserIdHistory&requested=popsalute) (http://www-rocq.inria.fr/icons/arrow_left.gif) Please Click.
Take that & the horse you road on!
Gotta go to the bank & TRU so I will be back soon to chat Brent.
-
Yep, no longer a registered user. Can't be terribly long until scum like this shows up again. We'll find him.
Sorry you're out Scott :'(
-
Live and learn I guess...shouldn't have paid right away either. Although he did send me the invoice
-
Damned expensive lesson. I'm working on a collection to get you airfare to Hong Kong. :-\
-
I think I'm personally screwed out of the $100+ I dropped...its been almost 4 months and I can't leave feedback anymore >:(
Scott, what happened to the SquareTrade thingy you sent in? Any response from them? If not, cancel it & complain through PayPal, thats if you payed through them & I think you did. You may get your $$$ back. Doesn't hurt to try. ;)

Here is the display case that Adam received from Oscar. 8)

This case just rocks! I am looking forward to receiving my case too. :)
If you guys need this case & other cases, drop Oscar an email. ;)
Oscar's Cases (http://www.kennertoys.com/cases/cases.htm)

That looks awesome Dale.
-
BBTS has cases and Master cases up for preorder...$100 for a case...$370 for a Master
So tempting :-\
-
I saw that too Scott. I had to find my costs that I paid on the last series to see if BBTS or HLJ has the better price.
BBTS: Case of 12- $99.99.
Master case- $369.99.
Shipping + Total- ?
My last order from HLJ:
Case of 12- $86.52.
Master case- $346.08.
Shipping- $62.87.
Total- $495.60.
I'll wait till HLJ puts series 3 up then I'll make up my mind. Long way to go yet till October. ;)
-
They have a flat shipping rate of $5 so it looks about the same but you would probably get them faster from HLJ
-
That shipping rate is for the US. For us:
Canadian Orders are shipped using the following methods:
CANADA AIR MAIL: Starts at $6 - Postal Air Mail delivery to Canada: 1 to 2 week typical delivery time - Guaranteed to arrive
International Orders are shipped using the following methods:
INTERNATIONAL AIR MAIL: Starts at $10 - Postal Air Mail delivery: 1 to 3 week typical delivery time - Buyer Assumes Risk of Lost Box.
INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS MAIL: Starts at $29 - Postal Express delivery: 3 to 14 day typical delivery time(sometimes longer) - Guaranteed to arrive.
Hey Scott, remember what happened from the last series, my cases from HLJ had the Cantina member figure with the stand instrument. BBTS had there orders with the Cantina member with that flat instrument. Mine being from Japan & it looks like BBTS got theres from Hong Kong.
So depending on what the chase figures are... would it be feasible to have someone order from BBTS & I would order from HLJ as I have had very good luck & service from them & maybe with luck we can have a sortment of the Japan/Hong Kong figures? That also depends on if they do what they did with the last series. :-\
I'll be ordering a Master Case.
-
I'm torn on this. I wouldn't mind a master case, though I may just wait it out and see if BBTS does the complete series again, with all chase. A lot cheaper than a master case and no hassles of selling them off later.
-
That's my thought as well, I'd rather do a whole set then be stuck with 15 C-3PO's
-
DSJ,
If you order an HLJ master case, I may be able to order a BBTS master case.
Between the two of us, we can probably hook up most of the folks here ;)
edit: Ok, I've preordered a master case, but the problem is, my card expires in August. As soon as my new card arrives, I'll update the card on file; assuming they dont cancel the order before then.
-
Well put me down for a full set plus the variants then Adam. I guess I'll pick the chase up from eBay ;)
-
Sounds great Adam, any variants like last time we should be OK. As soon as HLJ updates there site with them, I'll order a MC.
I'm sure Scott with LMK incase I miss it. ;)
-
I've been checking every day...nada so far
-
I really want to order the master case, but I just can't afford it. I'd rather wait for a full set if they do it again.
I wish we had an idea of what the chases would be and how rare. If I get a regular case I would most likely get a set and a chase(like the white colored shoulder pad Sandtrooper). Thats not bad, and I could pick up the harder chase figure on ebay.
I dont know what to do, I think I am just trying to convince myself.

Ok,one mytsry is solved :D This is the picture from one Japanese magazine.5 Kubricks at the top are the Japan Toysrus exlcusives box set >:( And the 6 kubricks at the bottom will be released in October.819 Yen each :)
-
Does is say how the carded Droids Fett will be released?
Naturally, anyone willing to pick up the TRU boxset, I'd love the help! :)
-
5 Kubricks at the top are the Japan Toysrus exlcusives box set
Well since this is a Japan TRU exlcusive, I'll take one with some help. :)
I'm curious on that Droids Boba Fett too! :-\
-
Oh look, I'm begging too for the box set. Interesting that's the way they are going to go with it.
It still makes no damn sense to me at all. :-\
Looking for loose droids Fett and loose droids R2 at reasonable costs too, but I'm done with carded stuff.
-
Sorry,no any word about the release date & price of Carded Droid Fett :-\
-
Im glad this stuff doesnt come out real often, as it's becoming a big pain in the ass to collect lol
-
It may suck that the box set is exclusive, but isnt it good that its for a large retail store? I mean I know toys r us exclusives are easy to get here?
-
Im glad this stuff doesnt come out real often, as it's becoming a big pain in the ass to collect lol
Thats the fun of collecting, the hunt, the agony, the... ;)

So who so far now has a carded Sandtrooper? I still need to get my mits on one...

What's the going rate of Sandy and Droids R2?
-
R2 is going for around $54. to $87. now.
Sandtroopers can range from $280. to $300.
-
I think Jon got a steal for a R2 for a Sandy then :D
Sooo...I wonder if the Box Set will be sold through etailers like HLJ or are we back to begging SImon ;)

Wow. And to think, everyone thought I got a steal on my R2 for "only" $82 last month... :-\ Damn, just a little more patience and I would've been in even better shape!
Oh well, that just means I'll be able to get a relatively cheap loose one soon as well. 8)
-
R2 is going for around $54. to $87. now.
Good Lord. Just looked around, and you weren't kidding Dale! $54 Droids R2 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5905288391&rd=1) :o
Where the hell were all you guys on that one?!? :-\
Wonder what the Sandtrooper will finally settle in at in another month or two. I'm gonna hold out for a while to see how things look down the line just a bit...
Updated the ol' Official Unofficial Kubrick checklist (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=12;action=display;threadid=4623&start=0#msg63544) here too. ;) Do we know what's coming out first yet - Series 3 or the TRU boxset?

Hey everyone, haven't been able to get on jedidefender lately for some odd reason. I can get to every other site I want to go to with ease, but I haven't been able to get in here since the last time I posted. Wow, great news for the pre-order from BBTS. I love dealing with them. They have hooked me up pretty good in the past with some Matrix, Marvel, & Star Wars series 2 Kubrick's. I think I'm going for a master case as well. Cheaper in the long run to buy a complete set with chases, but it's just so much fun to open a few cases of Kubrick's. So here are some updates on my collection.
I received my carded Sandtrooper from Kozik about a week ago. ;D
I would like to thank Simon for making that awesome trade possible.
(http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/brooks55/IM000001.jpg)
I also received three acrylic cases from Oscar's cases for my carded Kub's.
(http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/brooks55/IM000002.jpg)
Bad news is they sent me three cases for a Luke. So the others won't fit. The good news is they are making me new ones for no extra cost, and they are letting me keep the others as an apology for sending me the wrong ones. So if you need a case for a Luke let me know. As soon as I get the replacements in hand I will hook anyone up with the Luke cases for the cost of shipping only.
In other news I just ordered a Medicom vinyl Fett from Spanky. I have wanted that thing so bad since I first laid eyes on it. I got it for approx. $125 plus shipping. For those who still need an Early Bird set, Spanky has them back in stock for 10,000 yen. That's a steal IMO. I guarantee once series 3 comes out the Kubrick hype will be stronger than ever and the prices will go back up. So it's good to be back, as I have missed talking Star Wars Kub's with everyone here. Can't wait for series 3 and the TRU Japan boxed set. :)
-
Very nice. 8) Thoses cases from Oscar are awesome, glad there replacing the mix-up.
Might be awhile before HLJ puts there pre-order online for series 3. Hope they do soon or I may has to go the BBTS way.
Incase any cares, Andy Thong aka dip**** (Popsalute) is back in business on eBay. Looks like the suspension is lifted. >:( Like what, a whole 2 bloody weeks! (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/smilies/boese/45.gif)

Are the Oscar cases different for Luke than for R2? I did not know this :-\
-
Are the Oscar cases different for Luke than for R2? I did not know this :-\
The R2 & the Sandtrooper are identical in bubble size, a good 3/8" more in depth than Luke. Luke only has about 1/8" to spare in depth when inside the case. Hope this helps. :)
-
So if you need a case for a Luke let me know. As soon as I get the replacements in hand I will hook anyone up with the Luke cases for the cost of shipping only.
Sent you a PM a little while ago Jon. I'd be happy to relieve you of one of those, if you still have extras.
Nice score on the Sandie. Did you really nab that for just a Droids R2? If so, excellent deal man!
BTW, if you've got any details (like error messages) on why you can't get onto JD, let us know and we'll see if we can get it fixed for you. Can you access the site, or forums, at all? Is it just a matter of not being able to login to your forum account here to be able to post? Might have a couple ideas if that's the case. We were down for a little while this morning, but that's about it. Hopefully we can fix your problem though, so we can keep hangin' with you here in ye olde Kubrickville! 8)
-

Sooo...I wonder if the Box Set will be sold through etailers like HLJ or are we back to begging SImon ;)
If it is a TRU exclusive then it probably won't available through HLJ. If that is the case, fortunately there is a TRU so I should be able to just go and pick them up. For those of you who I sent Speeder Sets to, it'll be the same deal as last time. PM me at Jedi Defender and I'll start putting together a list.

Yep the deal was a carded Sandie for a carded Droids R2. I'm pretty sure that Kozik got them for free, so that is why he was willing to make some really good trades on them. As for what has been going on with me and the site I don't know what the problem has been. I'll type in the address and I will just wait and wait and it never comes up. The problem seems to be fixed now, so no biggie. I actually thought the site was down until I did a google search and saw from the results that the site was still being updated daily, so I knew it wasn't down then. Also you are the first to ask for a case, so if you need one or both of them we can complete the deal as soon as I get the new cases. It might be a week or two, but shouldn't be too long. :)
-
It'd be nice if Series 3 will be like this.
(http://images.andale.com/f2/105/128/8192012/1088982682618_BatmanAniSet8.jpg)
-
I don't know if I mentioned that here or not (I know I did at Kubrickworld)...but I noticed all recent non-Blind (smurfs, Batman, the Kinnikuman) Kubricks have been carded like that. I'm guessing they may be....in fact I may put money on it ;D
-
Are those pegholes at the tops of the cards? If so, why are they off center?
So do carded Kubricks not have chase figures then?
I wouldnt mind seeing this happen, but it'd suck to not have the first two series carded...
-
There would still be chase figures...they wouldn't be packed in every case. It would make getting them easier I don't know if they would do that or not. The Muppets were packed blind* and were in boxes. It would be more like Marvel Legends or Twilight Frodo are that they are only in 1 out of every 4 to 8 cases
* Blind meaning on the outside of the box there is just a Generic picture (Disney Kubricks are all like this) and so its like Sports Cards when buying a box
Non-Blind is like Star Wars where on the outside of the box is the character inside and so you know who your getting inside except for chases and variants
-
So do carded Kubricks not have chase figures then?
Apparently, the bottom 2 are chase figures in this Series.
Any idea how they were shipped to the retailers, Scott? I mean were the "Master Cartons" packed in lots of 48? 24? 12?
-
Not really, you may want to check some of the early auctions, I believe they had case assortments I think they were 1:24 though. I don't think either was 1:48
-
The Star Wars series will remain in cases of 12 and master cases of 48. Reason being is the carded Kubrick's come in cases of 40 and master cases of 120 pieces. They would never do that to the Star Wars series, and I am glad. I like a few carded Kubrick's, but it is getting out of hand. I much prefer opening blind boxes out of a case. For those interested here is the case assortment per 40 pieces of Batman Animated:
Animated Batman X 9
Batgirl X 6
Harley Quinn X 5
Mr. Freeze X 5
Manbat X 5
Killer Croc X 5
Blight X 3
Terry McGinnis X 2
-
I'm praying they don't go completely carded. That'd be the death of me, since I'd then have to collect both carded and loose (as I still plan to with the Droids R2 and carded Sandie). Please keep 'em in the boxes. Plus, I'm all for consistency in the packaging, so I don't want to see them switching things up now... :-\
-
I'm with Matt here, if anything bugs me more, it's inconsistency in the design of a line. To suddenly go to carded would suck, unless they offered carding kits for all the other loose figures lol
Good ol OCD at its best! :)

I just contacted BBTS to see if Joel would give us a discount for multiple master case pre-order's. So if you were interested in a master case, or even a single case we may be able to save a decent amount of money if we go in together.

I've already preordered a master case, but still have not received my new credit card (the one I used expires in August). Im hoping the new one arrives soon so I can change it. I'd be happy to say that I'm placing my order with you guys so he can maybe give you a discount, but I dont want to do anything until my new card arrives. I'd hate to seem like Im jerking the guy around and potentially screw up a group deal for everyone.

Dawg :o Have you displaced Dale as the king of the Kubrick's yet? Most impressive.

My case from Oscar has arrived! :o 8)
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Oscars%20Endor%20Kubrick%20Case.JPG)

Just got the reply from Joel. $345.00 per master case of series 3 if we bought three to four of them. So who would be interested?
-
Just got the reply from Joel. $345.00 per master case of series 3 if we bought three to four of them. So who would be interested?
Would he count mine towards the total? No worries if I dont get a discount, but if it helps you guys, Im all for it. Just keep note of the credit card issue I posted about...
-
Lets see, this was from my last order of the master case not including the extra 5th case I got.
48 piece(s) @ 780 yen each = 37440 yen. 37440 yen = $344.512 US as per today's currency.
BBTS: $345.00 US.
HLJ: $344.512 US. Same!
Now taking this into mind like I mentioned before, BBTS looks like they got there cases from Hong Kong as mine came from Japan. I'd like to see what happens with any variants/chase that comes out of these cases.
-
Dale, how much was shipping? Shipping from BBTS would be $5.00, and I'm pretty sure I could get a master case delivered to Canada for less than $20.00.
-
Shipping from Japan would be around the $40. range & then customs on top.
If I order a master case from BBTS, I would rather have the Kubricks shipped from you as you seem to have great luck in getting a proper & cheaper cost to us.
So would the master case be shipped from BBTS to you, then I have to pay that shipping cost then shipped to me, pay on top again or would it shipped from BBTS with there shipping cost. :-\
-
The cost for 3 to 4 master cases would be $5.00 total for shipping to me. So this split 3 or more ways would be peanuts. However, I would be allowed to mark the items as a gift, so customs hopefully would not be much of a factor. All in all if you wanted in on the group buy I think you would save at least $20.00. Also, HLJ could always charge a little more for series 3 as the SRP has gone up slightly on Kubrick's. BDW, I don't know how we could get your case in on the discount, but if you have any ideas let me know. You could always email Joel and let him know the situation and say you need to cancel the order. Then when the group buy goes in we could re-order your case. The only bad thing about this idea is how we could get Joel the money in one payment. I do have paypal, but paypal charges fees on payments received, and on a total of $345.00 the fee would be significant. So basically if you would need to use a credit card for this purchase I don't know how we could go about it. If anyone has any ideas please share them. Personally I was just hoping to save a little bit and help everyone else here do the same. Maybe it will be more trouble than it's worth. I don't know. If at least 4 people here wanted a case of 12 we could get a master case for them too, that way one of the four people would be guaranteed the chase piece.
-
I may go that route Padawan, and just pay cash/money order/cashier's check. I wont cancel my order just yet though.
The bitch of the matter is, my employer hasn't paid me, or my four other fellow workers, regularly for about 3 months. I'm owed just over $5,000. So it all depends on how much of that I get, and how quickly. We're currently looking into other means to get our money. If anyone has ideas, please let me know! I'm considering the state attorney general, especially give the fact that, at least here in Indiana, we are entitled to 3 times our back pay in this situation.
-
However, I would be allowed to mark the items as a gift, so customs hopefully would not be much of a factor.
Oh that this were true :( Sadly, Dale, myself and quite a few others are all too well known to customs and we get nailed quite regularly. Marking it as a gift is often helpful, and always appreciated, but seldom noticed by ye olde customs staffe. Ooh, looky, DSJ is getting another box, oh, it's a big one, better nail his ass on this one is pretty much how it goes. Granted, you could knock the value down substantially and still be believed, providing there is no receipt/bill/other proof of cost and that could indeed save Dale a ton of money. Even marking it at half it's value would save him at least $14 Cdn. I'm guessing air parcel post on that would run around $14 US to Dale. The only snag is insurance coupled with declaring a lower value. Worth the risk Dale?
FWIW I'm pretty much waiting for BBTS to have sets again. Hopefully not much more than last time, though depending on the chase, I may or may not be too keen on them. Indy was a special case.
-
Brent kinda sums it up pretty good. You can mark it a gift & lower the value & you may or may not get hit with duty. It's a crap shoot.
I have had parcels that should have been nailed with customs as the actual cost or higher was marked on them. Sometimes they slip through, sometimes they don't but then theres the parcels with a lower value that do get hit with customs. WFT? I as well as Brent have had our share of customs. Bastages!
I will go with HLJ when they come on there site. I do as well as others appreciate all the help we can get. I'm also curious as to the varian/chasset thingy.
-
I find it weird that of all of the different packages I get from Canuckia and Asia that I have never ever even been asked one thing about Customs. I wonder if the US even charges for that sort of thing
-
Hey guys. I haven't been here in a long time, but news of series 3 drew me back. I am excited for series 3. I scanned the last few pages, and can't find info on the chase figures. Are they known yet?
Matt
-
No news of chases or variants. Medicom likes to surprise people with them so we won't know until they are released what they actually are
-
Here's a linky from Canada Post that explains the customs crap up here:
Customs Requirements (http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/b06-e.asp#c002)
Another one with the above mention but also with Broker Fees! >:(
Canadian Taxes and Customs Brokers Fees (http://canadaonline.about.com/cs/customs/a/shopshipcanada_2.htm)
I only get hit with the $5. processing fee for a stupid piece of paper & the 7% GST tax. Brent on the other hand... :-\
Items sent to us that are declared more than $20 Canadian get taxed, no more than $14. US.
It sucks! :'(
Nice to see you back Matt B. 8)
-
Thanks for the info. Good to see you too Dale. :)
Matt
-
Anyone have information on when the TRU boxed sets are going to hit? What are the chances that I'll get one out here in Vermont?
Matt
-
Well, its a Japanese TRU exclusive so the chances of a set showing up a TRU in Vermont are too high.
However, if you ask Simon (He's No Good to Me Dead) he may be able to pick you one up. I think he's taking names still and if not I apologize.

Welcome back, stranger! ;) Not sure if Dale already PM'd you up to speed on things, but you can check out my official unofficial Kubrick checklist right here (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=12;threadid=4623;start=0#msg63544) (no Greg(g) checklist jokes please!). We started this new thread when Jon hooked us up with the first pix of Series 3 and the boxset, so most of the important news is back on page one, or the end of the prior thread (which is linked in the first post in this thread). That confusing enough for ya' Matt?! :P
And don't listen to OCB at all - he's been hitting the pipe again lately. The chances of the TRU boxset hitting Vermont are not "too high" at all, but rather very, very, very slim. ;)
-
I went ahead and cancelled my order for the master case. Depending on whether or not I can come up with the cash, I may go in on the group deal for master cases
-
I find it weird that of all of the different packages I get from Canuckia and Asia that I have never ever even been asked one thing about Customs. I wonder if the US even charges for that sort of thing
Bluntly put, the US doesn't bother trying to derive tax dollars from things as trivial as toys. Actually, it doesn't bother with much in terms of tax, but there are exceptions and those usually are not in accordance with US environmental law. We still have easy access to full flush (not low volume flush) toilets and those are a big no-no in the US. Weird, eh?
FWIW, I pay 7% more than Dale does. Customs is just a fancy way of saying paying tax. Because Dale is in Alberta, he pays 7% Goods and Services Tax - GST (federal tax). I pay that, plus our provincial sales tax - PST = 7%. We both pay the handling fee = $5 regardless of whether they open and actually inspect the box or not. Sadly, it can be worse, folks out east pay a harmonized sales tax = 15% :o.
I've been nailed on every box HLJ has sent to me. I lucked out entirely with BBTS, they wrote the value ($125) so small, I think the customs folks mistook it for $12.50 :D Lucky sometimes.
Hi Matt, I recognize the name, the I don't think we've met. Yippee, another Matt. That will help things around here :-*
-
Nice to make your acquantaince as well, Morgbug. I've seen your name here and there too, and have "heard a few things". Anyway, thanks for introducing yourself. How 'bout a pic to put with the name, now that we're good pals?

-
Yeah I was surprised at that one too Dale. The last one he sold was $385 I think.
-
Not a bad price, but his auctions probably suffer alot because of the high starting price. If they started low they would probbaly sell for higher.
-
I don't think he wants the risk. $299 is already under what he originally paid for it. I remember when he sold one for $600 last year, so he might be still living that dream. I bet he still has 2 or 3 more of these and must be a little worried about his investments. Maybe he'll drop it to $250 next round.

They're usually still ending between $100 and $125, Hemish. That's one of the sets that's really held strong since it's initial release...
That Droids Fett looks pretty cool. Hopefully he drops down to the same range of the Droids R2, and isn't insanely crazy in price.
I don't want to see them keep up with the Droids (or Ewoks) cartoon lines, with the exception of a 3PO to go with the R2, and of course a Vlix! Now that would be way cool, and INSANELY popular - going far beyond the realm of the average SW Kubrick collector. The vintage guys would be all over that one!
So has anyone figured out what's coming first - the TRU boxset, or Series 3? (and when?)
-
Series 3 is October...no word on any details on the boxset, there was no update of the details on the Medicom site this month

Well, I've got an announcement I never thought I was going to make...
Somewhat due to financial problems, somewhat due to changing interests, somewhat due to not being blown away by Series 3 (the Ewoks just upset me), I am resigning from the throne of king of lower Kubricktopia (DSJ is, of course, king of upper Kubricktopia).
In other words, I'm retiring from collecting SW Kubricks. After I conclude my final Kubrick transaction with Simon, I will be taking a permanent leave of absence from the Kubrick hobby. I guess the exclusives/chase figures/etc finally had their toll on me, and my lack of a proper display for my loose figures finally pushed me away.
I'm hoping I can find someone that wanted to get into the hobby, but felt like it was too late to get started, so I can sell everything off in one fell swoop.
-
Wow, that's sad to see one of our original crew throw in the towel. Agreed that Series 3 isn't all its cracked up to be but there is a lot of life left to live here with this line
If you need a home for any Fetts I may be interested...I could understand thinking of selling them as a lot though too

Check this out (http://www.npt.com/section.php?sid=4&session=4bc04cdb9821a76481fbfdf0733da0f8)

I was reading a thread over at Kubrickworld saying that nobody has ever been to Medicom HQ and its just basically a group of guys sitting around saying what can we make next. But everything is very top secret hush hush...which is both cool, strange and weird all in one

Yes Adam! Very sad as you were one of the first onto this fantasic line of Star Wars stuff. But as a said to you in a private mail, your problems are well documented in this thread and we will all understand your need to refocus. I wish you well in future, but be sure to hang around JD and give us you opinions on up and coming Kubricks!!
-
AAAHHH!!! Don't say it's so Adam... :'(
Crap. Really sorry to see you go bud. One of our original Kubrick crew here... :-\ If selling your loot as a lot doesn't work out, LMK, as I'd still be interested in a cheap extra Droids R2, like we'd talked about before.
So are you just going to stick with the MR prop replicas from now on, or do you have any other SW collecting focuses left?
Damn. This stinks.

I think that this seller is being a premature.

So are you just going to stick with the MR prop replicas from now on, or do you have any other SW collecting focuses left?
Dont worry, I'll still hang out here and at JD in general :)
I'm sticking with Star Wars, I just brought on way too much way too quick. My interest has shifted more to movie props, somewhat at the expense of Star Wars, but not entirely. There are still items Im going to pick up, like the new VOTC line (just found Han, Leia and Obi yesterday. These things ROCK), silver figures, holiday figures, convention figures, animated figures, or otherwise special figures. That doesnt really accumulate to much though, which is good. Gentle Giant and Master Replicas will be my big focuses for Star Wars. Other than that, it will just be miscellaney for Star Wars. But I'm definitely not giving up entirely! :)
"Don't cry for me Kubritopia! The truth is, I never left you."
With the different prop replicas coming out, I need to start saving all the cash I can, until I get my pay problem resolved. I'm hoping to get a new job here in a couple of weeks. Wont say what, cuz I dont want to jinx myself, but it could be a lot of fun. Not giving up on all the backpay I'm owed though.
In short, things wont be too much different :) I really just wasn't blown away by Series 3 anyway. I find the Ewoks pretty upsetting lol If I had been blown away by Series 3, I probably would have stuck with them. Such is life I suppose!
On a good note, the Gizmo and Stripe mogwai I ordered last month showed up yesterday! :) Very cool!
-
By the way Hemish, I really like your InAction collection! Very cool stuff!
-
Some of those Kubricks look familiar Hemish! ;) Great stuff. 8)
So they should ;), they were dying to get out of their packets and breath freedom.
Poor little fellas you had em locked up for a 7 day trip round the world.
As for the Clerks stuff them and stikfas are my "other" habit other than starwars stuff, trying to keep the different lines to a minimum as clerks are only upto series 3 with 4 on the way and stikfas only have 20 or so kits available not counting exclusives.

Simon,
Where exactly are Kubricks sold in Japan? Are they at Toy Stores exclusively or are they sold more widespread than that. I picture a display by the cash register where you can pick a few boxes up for a few Yen and hope to get a Variant Boba Fett :P

To be honest I was always curious as well. I wouldn't mind hearing this.

They are sold in "Hobby Shops" rater than places like TRU. Actually I was really surprised that the Box Set is a TRU exclusive, becase they have never sold Kubricks there before. What I mean by "Hobby Shops" are places that you would expect to find models and RC Cars. As they are designed for the adult collectible market, they are rarely found in Kids toy stores. Most of the good stuff ends up on Yahoo! Japan pretty quickly though.

Hey fellas:
Almost settled in from my relocation to AZ, so I'll be posting a bit more.
Brent, I am kinda kicking myself that I did not buy that piece from BBTS, oh well. I finally won an auction for an Early Bird Set today! $102.50 + $8.00 s/h from Japan, not too bad me thinks.
Are you guys going to go in on a Master Case of the next series together, if so I would like to get in.
-DBK-

Not bad at all Matt. Nice score, and congrats! So does that catch you all up now, aside from the Chase figures? I think I recall you saying you weren't going to go after those... Still the case? Or has the "psycho-completist" disease finally struck you?! :P
-
Thanks Colman. I have the Chase and carded figures on my trade list. No desire to get these other then if I get them in trade or for a heck of a bargain.
We discussed this before, after some purging, I am free from that disease!

Star Cases for carded Kubrick's now. 8)
-
Awesome, I need a couple of cases.
-
I don't know if the carded SW kubricks are the same size, but I tried putting one of the batman animated kubricks in a star case yesterday, and it's almost a perfect fit. I'm guessing the SW kubricks are the same.
-
Hi the drewlam. Welcom to JD! ;D
The Star Wars one's don't even come close to fitting the regular Star Cases. Are the Batman ones bigger?
-
Hey, thanks for the welcome. I just got my batman kubricks yesterday, and they're not a bad fit at all. if the card was even an extra quarter inch it would be perfect. So yeah, I guess they're bigger.
-
C'mon in Jeff! Nice and cozy in here... ;)
Welcome to drewlam too! 8)

Please don't tell me there are more of those... I assumed that it was one of those Kubrick knock offs like the other 3 4-packs that came out a while back.
:-\
Jeff
-
I kept telling myself "stay away from the Kubrick thread, don't even go read it or look at it, or you'll be tempted again". Sure enough, I couldn't stay away. I still haven't picked any of these up yet, but it sure is awfully tempting. I couldn't ever afford to get into the chases, carded figures, etc. right now, but maybe some of the basics. And now Jeff had to jump on board as well, and I'm getting in a bandwagony mood now. I've thought about starting off just getting a Han, to have my favorite character and see these in person, and then go from there. Anyone around here have an extra they want to get rid of, or recommendations on a good price to pay for one? From what I have seen on ebay and online stores, the Han figure seems to be pretty reasonable price wise. Should have stayed away...should have stayed away.....

You sir have a PM. ;)

Hey Brian...I may have one extra Han, I'll have to check and I think I have a Greedo and Sandtrooper too but I'm not totally remembering right now
Be@rbricks are also made by Medicom, they are all bear shaped and painted differently (sort of like the Peanuts on Parade statues, Jeff) Wicket is the only Star Wars one, I just found out there is a Winnie the Pooh one that I'll probably pick up some day

Huh, I was not aware of the whole be@rbrick movement. Interesting. I have been acting under the assumption that the Wicket was a knock-off like the 4-packs.
Speaking of which, do any of you have those Kubrick knock-off sets? I saw them on ebay last night, looks like a 4-pack from each OT movie and then a 4-pack of clones.
Anyone have them, or are you all Kubrick "purists"?
Jeff

I think Matt has those Bootlegs, I myself am a purist as far as SW Kubricks go

Loser. >:(
Don't listen to this clown Jeff, especially if you wanna be in the Kubrick "in-crowd" here... Scott's our little Kubrick Princess with his devout love for that lameass Bearbrick bull****, but he's the only one. So if you don't want to fall in with the wrong crowd here, I'd highly suggest you just ignore Scott's antics...
That said, welcome aboard! Good to have another Kubrick newbie in the house, especially since Adam just bailed on us... :'( Now we've just got to go about getting you and Brian all caught up here!
And yeah, I was buying those Kubrick knockoff sets several years before the official Kubrick line was ever announced. I've got the 3 movie sets, and Carbo Han, but I still need the Death Star Escape set, the Speeder Bike/Biker Scout, and the canned Fett to complete my (OT) collection. I've got a complete checklist on the first page of this thread, and somewhere in that post is a link to stormie's website, where he's got some good pix of all the knockoff sets. If you keep your eyes peeled, you should be able to get a pretty good deal on the regular 3 (ANH, ESB, ROTJ).
Another thing, it can be a little tricky, and probably more expensive, if you try to get things one by one, rather than in complete waves all at once. Unless you can get some good deals for some of the extras these guys around here still have. But I see the first and second waves go for about $45 - $60 sometimes on the 'Bay.
I better just shut up now, 'cause I can go on forever about these cool little guys. Anyway welcome to the coolest collecting club on the net! 8)

The only 1 I have is the Fett in a can (http://www.anzwers.org/free/transformers/Others/StarWar/BobaFett/). Neat little guy. 8)

This just in, HLJ now has Series 3 Kubrick's up for pre-order (http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?MEDKUB-170A).
Preorder this item by Aug. 24 to get it for 5% off the regular price of 9,360 yen!
I just ordered 4 cases. ;D
8,892 Yen = $80.49 USD or $105.51 CDN.
8,892 x 4 =35,568 yen or $325.29 USD or $422.75 CDN.
Finally the wait is over in ordering them, now the wait till there released. :-

If these are to scale, that Han Carbonite is frigging huge! :o
-
I just ordered 4 cases. ;D
:o
damn
well, dale, keep me in mind when you decide to sell off the extra sets. :D
-
Well 1 case is spoken for "Matt Brand", & 3 sets are spoken for so thats all 4 cases. Not sure what the ratio of the figures will be, have to wait till there on the market & there will be some figures left over for anyone that wants them. ;)
Update: when I said cases, I meant boxes so 4 boxes for 1 master case. :-[ There will be extras of some figures, just not sure which ones. :-\
-
Han in Carbonite it looking awesome. I wonder if a Han figures come with it or if perhaps a Han is a chase? ANyway I can't wait to find out what the chase figures are!
-
I'm really thinking now that these will be carded now, there is no way that Carbonite block will fit in the box. Plus all new non-blind Kubricks have been carded...sorry to all of you who are gonna have to shell out some more $$$ :-\
-
I still can't see the carbonite block being released in the box either. We will just have to wait & see when the series is released.
-
So...
Being the newbie, what's the best way to grab a full set (including chases if there are any)?
Ordering a full set? Ordering a full box of 12?
Where do most of you buy your set/box from? HJL? BBTS? ActionHQ?
Jeff
-
If you order a box of 12, you should get a full set & maybe a chase.
With series 2, BBTS had full sets available & at a good price. Not sure what they will do this time. Will have to wait till they have them in stock.
Both series 1 & 2 I ordered from HLJ & so far I have done good. I just had to run around & find the odd chase figure that I did not get. I like opening the boxes, just like looking for a prize. ;)
eBay will have them but they will cost big time.
-
So,
Do we have any inkling on Chase figures for series 3? Do we get that info early? Or is it just when ppl start ripping open the boxes and finding them?
(forgive my newbie-ness :()
I wouldn't mind a Chase Ewok or Chse General Lando...
Jeff
-
We won't find out what the chase figures are until the boxes are cracked open from the supplier. They will be on the market before they arrive here so we will have a good idea what they are.
We will hear word from people like Simon & others that live over in the orient. eBay will be a good source of information too.
As for a chase figure/s, a Tie Pilot would be nice, Darth Vader & Yoda too. A Royal Guard would kick ass!
Also take note that the mini boxes are sealed & the figures are also sealed in a silver foil bag to hide what they are. I think this would be to prevent people at the stores from opening them & figuring out the chase fig's are.
There is also the 1 major chase figure that is 1 in 48 of finding in a box of 12, that small box packed in a certain way.
When the time gets closer to the release of the figures, I'm going to be pumped with excitement! ;)

Jeff,
I have at least one of the series 2 figures that you are looking for, if you are interested. Email me:

In other news, I've got a lead on the following set:
Han Solo (MISB)
Sandtrooper orange shoulder pad (MISB)
Greedo (MISB)
Tusken Raider (MISB)
Ben Kenobi (MISB)
Chase Sandtrooper white shoulder pad (MIB)
Cantina Band Member H.K (MIB)
Cantina Band Member Jap (MIB)
plus free Boba Fett (MIB) from series 1
All for $90 shipped. Good Deal or no?
Includes 5 Mint in Sealed Box figures, including Han (which means a chance at Indy), as well as picking up 6 figures I don't have yet: Ben, Tusken, Greedo, HK Cantina, Fett, and chase White Pad Sandy.
:-\
Jeff
-
Well, if you didn't already have 3 of those figures Jeff, I'd say it's not too bad of a deal at $10 each. The Ben, Greedo, and Tusken were the "shortpacked" (1 per case) figures in that wave, so they're a little tougher to come by. The White Sandtrooper isn't really that tough of a chase compared to the others. He's packed at the same ratio as the Ben, Greedo, and Tusken (1/12). Cantina guys are a pretty even split between the Japan and Hong Kong versions, and again, not too tough. The sealed Han is a nice bonus though, with the slim chance at an Indy.
Bottom line, you're paying $90 for just SIX new figures, which is $15 per. You might not even be able to move those 3 extra/duplicate ones you get stuck with either. $15 per is probably too much for just 6 new ones IMO... If you keep an eye on eBay, there's some real good lots that pop up with this entire wave - which is why I suggested buying each wave all at once, if possible, rather than trying to put them together individually... Little cheaper that way.
So, does that help?! :P :-\

Hey JediMAC, I got my new cases today from Oscar, so if you still want a case for Luke I can get it to you for $5.00 shipped. LMK. :)

I think I'll just keep watching eBay until I find a good score...

I've got a full set of the second series if anyone wants.
Hell, Jeff, I'd have sold you mine for less than that. Oh well, someone else perhaps.
BTW, I'm chancing the BBTS route again. For series 1 and 2 I ordered with Dale from HLJ.com. Everything went along fine, great shipping, quick, good price. I just wanted Indy. Badly. So I relented and picked up the complete set from BBTS for $129, $10 more than Scott paid, because I ordered later. I'm expecting/hoping for the same price on the complete set again.
Have I said yet I hate ******* Ewoks ::)

Another Bounty Hunter set (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5915223957&rd=1) ending at only $53, with $11 shipping. Not bad.

AFA 85 Carded Luke (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5914226437&rd=1) for $300! ::)
Wow, this $40 BIN (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50264&item=5915527529&rd=1) was a helluva deal on the 3 main bootleg sets.
Yeah, I'm bored. But I think Jeff (and some of the other newer fellas) will see my point now. Some pretty good deals out there, if you're lookin' for them! Hope I didn't **** up Brent's offer though... :P

so i guess that means i lucked out when i picked up the bounty hunters for $40 shipped? sweet. now i need to find those chase figures cheap... ::)
-
Well :( I e-mailed BBTS and asked if they were going to be offer complete sets of the Kubricks with Chase figures again and he said they will not be doing it again. I was really hoping for that, but now i am thinking about taking my chances and ordering a case. :(
-
Son of a crap, they must of have caught their loop hole or they are banking on a big chase figure. Sometimes the Chase figure is crap though so it may not be that big of deal
-
OK, another newbie question.
Endor Speeder Bike sets.
I know most of you got them through Simon/HNGTMD, but what's a good price on them now? Most I see are offered at $65 for the set, which seems a bit steep to me.
:-\
Jeff
-
See the one I pointed out on the prior page Jeff? It ended at $46. I'd say the going rate has dipped significantly on this set, and is probably in the low $50ish range. Problem is, most of the eBay sellers are unwilling to start any of their Speeder Bike auctions that low. That's why you see a ****load of unsold, unbid on, Speeder Bike auctions in the $60s and $70s.
I'd say be patient on this one, and stick it in your eBay auction search notification list (for starting prices under $60), and I bet you could get a decent deal on one eventually, and save some money over what most of us spent on it... ;)

Endor Speeder Bike sets.
I know most of you got them through Simon/HNGTMD, but what's a good price on them now? Most I see are offered at $65 for the set, which seems a bit steep to me.
:-\
Jeff
I reckon you'll get one for $50-55 if your patient Jeff.
Watch for the Droids Boba Fett on eBay next week guys. The festival where they are selling them is on this weekend. Unfortunately, I can't have a crack at it as I am moving apartments this weekend (sigh!), but I'm going to put my name in the lottery a couple of times. I'm not sure I want to go after the last fiasco anyway.
-
Got my IG-88 and Bossk in the mail today...
Very cool little figures. Having these now makes me feel bad for resisting for so long. I love the detail on IG-88 and his weapons are very cool; nice that they included both guns unlike Hasbro cheaping out recently.
Bossk is really great too. Just gotta wait for my box from Dale to get here so I can get my little display up to five SW Kubrick figures... :-\

Oh goodie, Droids Boba Fett. (http://www.snowtroopers.ca/forum/YaBBImages/lipsrsealed.gif) The hunt continues! :-\
You should have the parcel soon Jeff. ;)

Anyone know what carded Sandies have been going for? The old Fett's too...$190 doesn't seem too bad.
-
There haven't been any carded Sandtroopers or old Boba's for awhile so not sure.
As for the Droids Boba, they just released 500 at the World Festival & there should be another 1504 released through a draw. Yeah, $190 not to bad but when more show up they should drop in pirce. I hope! :-\

Hey Scott!
Carded Boba Fett Droids (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5918002595&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT)
less than 2 hours!!
-
Congrats Dale, you impatient bastard! :P The price will likely drop immensely once the other 1,504 are released later on, but I'm sure you're already well aware of that... ;)
I'm guessing this one will probably settle into the range of the Droids R2 eventually, if not just a tiny bit higher due to Fett's greater collectible popularity.
Scott, I think the original carded Fett and the new carded Sandtrooper are the ones that are gonna stay high for a long time to come, being the Medicom convention exclusives, which seem to be made in numbers that are about half, if not less, than the two carded Droids figures.
What's worse, is the thought of going carded and loose here, if the figure's different than any prior releases. So I'm off the hook with the first Fett, but I'm screwed at the idea of nabbing a loose Droids R2 and Fett, and the Sandtrooper. Ugh.
If they go carded in subsequent waves, I may just shoot myself. :-\
-
Yeah, I'm an impatient old bastard! ;D
Someday, there will be a wall that will stop me from getting the Kubricks I want, if they go carded in subsequent waves like Matt said, I may have to shoot him myself! :-\
-
If they go carded in subsequent waves, I may just shoot myself. :-\
If I were a betting man, I'd go All In on carded SW Kubs for Series 3
-
Well I couldn't resist. I picked up the Droids Boba Fett on ebay with a buy it now for 109.00. Thats not bad at all for me. :) I just can't wait to get it.
-
Nice Score!
Congrats!
Jeff
-
Wah you spent how much???
Man i have enough troubles justifying that much on a vehicle or something large, noway i could spend that sort of money on a kubrick
-
Well I couldn't resist. I picked up the Droids Boba Fett on ebay with a buy it now for 109.00.
Damn. Great price at such an early date for this figure... :o
Didn't have to make Dale feel like **** like that though! :P He just dropped $185 on it a few days ago... :'( What'd I tell ya' about patience now Dale?! >:(
Anyway, congrats to both of you. Are you totally caught up too, evenflow? Get the other Fett and Sandtrooper carded too? I can't recall if you did right now...
Me, I'm gonna patiently sit back and wait... ;)
-
Very nice score evenflow, Congrats. 8)
Paying more didn't bother me, I have probably done worse with other collectibles! ;D

No i still need those 2, but working on it. :)
-
I just moved house guys and I'm a bit out of the loop.
Just had a quick scan of of what's going on in Japan and I think that by the time the other 1504 Droids Fetts come out, you should be able to pick one up for under $100, again, if you are patient. I have my name in the draw a couple of times, so fingers crossed again.
Well done Dale and Daniel. Hopefully I can pick one up soon too.
-
It's not much yet, but...
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/7-04/jeffkub.JPG)
Finally got all my guys in the mail and set them up on the shelf (I nabbed the Bat set on eBay for $8.99 :o).
Hopefully I'll be adding more soon...
:)

Still have some for you. Tempting, oh so tempting.

Been eyeing up an R2 again for $75 but feel bad I already burnt over a $100 on one that I never got, bastard
-
Did you pay via Paypal? They would or should have refunded you. :-\
-
Yes I did...dang, I wonder if I can still get my money?
-
You better get on it! Hope its not too late! :-\
-
Yeah its way too late, only a month afterward :-\
I still filed though, bastard
-
You should have done it when Brent did it over a month back. I had a email chat with GBU back then mentioned that there looks like its over there time limit & he said "I don't recall the 30 day rule from the two previous complaints I've filed and won. Both of them were close to 60 days if I remember correctly".
Never heard back if he got a refund but I'm sure he did. He won 2 of them.
Explain the situation with them & if you still have your emails from Andy, send them too. It will prove what a bastard he is. Maybe you will luck in & get your $$$ back or some of it.
-
Well I got my Droids Boba Fett in the mail today!!!! :o Very awesome. I really love the Droids figures and hope they continue, at least a Droids version of 3PO.
-
Congrats Daniel!
I really love the Droids figures and hope they continue, at least a Droids version of 3PO.
I guess since we've got the R2 and Fett now, they might as well do the 3PO too, but no more Droids releases after that! And if they even dream about delving into the Ewoks line/cartoon next, there'll be hell to pay!
Just wish they'd get some regular Kubricks back out to retail. I'm getting bored, and it's been so long now, that it's caused me to dive into the WOTC mini line, and the GG Bust-ups line soon as well, just to satisfy my cravings for blind packed and crazy Very Rare figures... :-\

Anyone wanna join Scott's club for $110?
:P
-
Well I would like to see the Droids 3PO and wouldn't mind if they ended there, but I would really love a Vlix. I will probably never own the vintage one so i think if they did one that would rock!
-
Actually... Yeah, I forgot about the Vlix. That'd certainly be a cool one as well. But then they have to stop! :P To be honest, considering some of Medicom's nod to and knowledge of the Vintage era, I really wouldn't be surprised if they eventually gave us a Vlix...
P.S. Sorry Jeff! :-*
-
If they gave us a Vlix, it would have to be carded. It's a very large figure & that sucker is not going to fit inside there boxes they come in, well maybe in the case box! ;D
A Droids C-3PO would be my next guess for a carded version. 8)

Well, I was hoping to score a cheap opener of this sucker, and still nab a more expensive one later on, but to no avail.
Looks like opener Fetts are still in the freakin' $70 range! Hell, it's actually already been opened, so this is practically a LOOSE Fett with it's original packaging...
Sitting at $69 and change with an hour left. I ended my bidding in the low $30's, or thereabouts. Bastards! >:(

Awesome picture. I am trying to catch up, but man is it tough. 2 more to go.

Can you give us a picture of the entire collection Dale? I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a complete (up to now anyway) collection before.
I'm off to Australia for 2 weeks lads, so hopefully those box sets won't come out between now and then. Doesn't look like it though.
-
Thanks for the congrats gang. :)
If I ever get these Kubrick's properly displayed, I'll take some pic's of the whole collection. I still have to work on the display cases for the singles & get me some cases from Oscar for the carded ones.
Have fun in Australia Simon & be safe! :)
-
Picked up my Fett/4-LOM/Zuckuss/Dengar package at the Post Office today on my way to work! ;D
I cracked open each of the boxes and they are all really cool! Now I just have to finish off my Mos Eisley set so I can get cracking on the early bird set and the speederbike set...
I'll have to update my picture of my "collection" when I get home from work. ;)
Jeff
ps.
I opened my boxed Fett... two green gauntlets. That's the regular version, yes? No chase for me :(
-

Yep, thats a regular ESB version so no chase for you. :'(
The chases are (ROTJ version w/ 2 red gauntlets) & (Vintage version w/ 1 yellow and 1 red gauntlet).
Nice to see you catching up abit on the Kubrick's! 8)
-
Won an auction for a full box of Series two for $99 shipped.
I'm going to split the case with two friends, so that way, I get the last four I need (Obi-Wan, Greedo, Tusken, White Pad Sandtrooper) and I'll only be stuck with 1 Sandtrooper and 1 Han (and I may have a lead on selling those two as well).
Plus, with a whole case, I'll end up with 3 chances at Indy... maybe I'll get lucky? :-\
Jeff
-
Um, how do you know the case has the white sandtrooper? Isn't the orange the regular? I know the cases were odd, Dale's boxes had all orange or all white, but I don't think I heard of any mixed boxes.
-
Brent's right. It's a hit & miss on the Sandtroopers. If it's a sealed box then theres no way you will now what you will have till you open them. :-*
Orange is regular & white is the chase. Out of 4 boxes (1 master case) 3 I opened & 1 box had the white. The other sealed one the Matt Brand received from me had white.
There have been no mixed boxes that I have heard about.
-
Um.... I should have been clearer. :-\
If my case is all orange Sandtroopers (as I assume it will be), then my plan is to trade a Orange Pad Trooper from the case to one of those guys I am splitting the case with for the White Pad Sandtrooper. He has the white pad sandtrooper (he bought at comics shop), but he doesn't really care which one he has, so he's willing to swap white for an orange if I need to find one!
Under this scenario, it'll look like this:
1x Greedo - for me
1x Tusken - for me
1x Obi-Wan - for me
2x Cantina Band Member - sell 1 to pal #1, sell the other to pal #2
3x Han - sell 1 to pal #1, sell 1 to pal #2, 1 extra/leftover
4x Sandtrooper (Orange Pad) - Trade 1 to pal #1 (for white Sandtrooper), sell two to pal #2, 1 extra/left over
BUT, if my case does indeed have white pad sandtroopers, well then, I'll just get one from the case and pal #1 won't care about trading since he has a white Pad Trooper.
Under this scenario, it'll look like this:
1x Greedo - for me
1x Tusken - for me
1x Obi-Wan - for me
2x Cantina Band Member - sell 1 to pal #1, sell the other to pal #2
3x Han - sell 1 to pal #1, sell 1 to pal #2, 1 extra/leftover
4x Sandtrooper (White Pad) - 1 for me, sell two to pal #2, 1 extra/left over
Either way, I end up with a White Pad Trooper :)
Sorry for the confusion, I was just trying to cut to the chase without all the messy details that I have now caused you to read! :-[
Jeff

By now you should no better with Dale around
I'm expecting news on the box set this Friday when Medicom updates, doesn't sound like it will be out until December/January at the best :-\

Damn, Jon sure got a steal for that carded R2 :D
-
Sharing the price, or the link would be nice. ::)
Guess I'll spend 5 minutes searching around eBay on my own to see what he got it for. Thanks for nuthin', Twink! >:(
Does Jon = Nutcavy? I see an R2 that went for $75 there, though that doesn't seem like that big a steal. Another one went for $66, but that's a brand new eBayer, so I doubt that's Jon... Or did you mean he sold one for a sweet price? I dunno. I give up. Please enlighten me someone.

Oh yeah, not that it matters in comparison to I GOT INDY, but the Sandtroopers were Orange Pad and the Cantina Band Dudes were Hong-Kong-Fu.
So, all together, I've got:
Batman (US version)
Robin (US version)
Batgirl (US version)
Mr. Freeze (US version)
The Scarecrow (US version)
Boba Fett (ESB)
Bossk
IG-88
Dengar
Zuckuss
4-LOM
Cantina Band Dude (Japan)
Cantina Band Dude (Hong Kong)
Greedo
Tusken Raider
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Han Solo
Sandtrooper (Orange Pad)
and finally, last but certainly not least - Indiana Jones
In the next few days, I should secure the White Pad Trooper from pal #1 (with a swap for the Orange Pad trooper) AND, on a non-SW note I am still trying to secure a Muppets Series 1 set from someone, I just have to get my lazy ass in gear and hook up for lunch one day when I/we/he are not swamped at work. :-\

Poor Indiana's all by himself there in the back :-\ - he's got no one to play with.
-
Sweet freedom! Unlike Dale's ::)
-
Oh my God! :o Dale, DON'T look!!! Close your eyes!!!
Nice job Jeff. Catching up pretty quickly there. And you've got a white Sandtrooper already lined up, right? So that wipes out wave 2, and just leaves you short the Early Bird set, 2 Fett variants, the Speeder set, and carded figures. Almost there! 8)
-
I saw an Early Bird today for over $150...eeks!
-
Too late, I looked! (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/Smileys/classic/shocked.gif) (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/Smileys/classic/tongue.gif)
I've seen the Early Bird with bin's of $120.
Very nice Jeff. (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/Smileys/classic/smiley.gif)
-
Well thank goodness something is staying above what I paid ::) :P
-
Yeah, I agonized over whether or not to open Indy and whether or not to sell him for quick cash.
I thought about selling him and using the cash to buy the Early Bird Set...
I thought about selling him and using the cash for vOTC...
But then, I decided that the universe wanted ME to have him, that's why he was given to me by the Kubrick Gods, so I opened him up. After all, it's probably my one shot at an awesome Kubrick variation, so I might as well keep him and enjoy him for his ultra-rareness. :)
After all, who am I to defy the Kubrick Gods? Too much bad karma involved if I sell him I think. :-\
Now he sits happily on my shelf where I oogle him and think, "Cool."
Jeff
-
Methinks we are very close to having another join our ranks...
Wonder if he'll step out of the shadows or enjoy his Kubrick in silence? :)
Jeff
-
Join us and all together we will rule the galaxy! And does he/she like the Muppets?
-
Methinks we are very close to having another join our ranks...
No more "Minnesotoans" please! There's three too many of you guys already... :P

No, he's not from Minnesota...

Ah, you sent Brian a Han Kubrick, eh?! Yeah, he's poked in his nose in here a few times in the past.
And Brent, who the hell here's from Seattle? I know you're not getting so senile to confuse L.A. with that, right? I mean, I know you're like 49, or something, but c'mon...
-
Simon's already holding some Legos for me to send with the Boxset, so he knows my ass is already signed up! (but consider this a reminder anyway...) ;)

And Brent, who the hell here's from Seattle? I know you're not getting so senile to confuse L.A. with that, right? I mean, I know you're like 49, or something, but c'mon...
Nope, not senile, it's an RS reference. When I first went on the boards over at RS, I introduced myself in the Minnesota forum, because it was the closest geographically. I was welcomed with open arms and had no problem getting help, at cost, from the guys in that forum. The Seattle forum was an entirely different story. I was heading down there and asked for some help on stores, etc. Not a peep. Three or four, similar polite requests were met with utter and complete silence.
Not everything is about you buddy :-*

Can I jump on board for one of those box sets too?? Please :)
-
Simon's already holding some Legos for me to send with the Boxset, so he knows my ass is already signed up! (but consider this a reminder anyway...) ;)
He's holding some Legos for me too to send with this boxset. But a friendly reminder never hurt anyone. :)
-
Must have the box set, down for 1 Simon. 8)

I'm still baffled by the choice of figures here but I'll take them all...
BTW, Series 3 is only a few weeks away!!!
-
Ah, you sent Brian a Han Kubrick, eh?! Yeah, he's poked in his nose in here a few times in the past.
Yeah, Jeff was nice enough to send an extra Han Kubrick he had laying around my way. I've always been interested in these things, and each time I came in here checking out your conversations on the line, I got tempted even more. I figured I'd start out with my favorite, Han, and see what the line was all about. I'm sure once I get my first one, I'll be hooked. Hopefully I can afford to go along for the ride with you guys here in "the club".
Nice news on the box set. The character choice is interesting, although I really like that Bespin Han. Excuse my newbie-ness, but how does this work when a set like this or something comes out overseas? Do you guys go via ebay, or place "your order" with Simon, or what is the best way to go? Since I'm new here, and not even sure if I can afford to go all out, I certainly don't expect to be able to have the same precedence as you guys...but I was just curious how you go about getting these since they aren't released in the US (and Canada). Anyways, if nothing else, its nice to be a very small part of the club here...with my first Kubrick arriving hopefully by the beginning of next week. :)
-

Not even the slightest bit of hint as to the Chase figure(s) yet? Does that kind of info leak out or is it really a wait and see what turns up on eBay kind of thing? :-\
I wouldn't mind seeing a TC-14 Chase off 3PO or maybe a Chief Chirpa Chase off Wicket. I also heard/saw someone mention TIE Pilot off the AT-AT Driver. That would be kind of neat too :)

Well, I played catch up via eBay, but I think most of the fellas here try to grab a box (or Master Case for a few of the crazies) from various e-tailers. I'm sure one of the Club Elders will be glad to post a few links for you... or US I guess since this is the first wave to hit retail for me too.

Chase figures are top secret until they show up on eBay, there was a thread over at Kubrickworld a few months ago about how Medicom HQ is like the Pentagon in their security I guess...and while those variants/chase figures are totally possible, they could quite possibly make the chase be Yoda or The Emperor or even Vader, they have and will do whatever the hell they please (Hey how about an E.T. Kubrick for some cross promotion again as long as they had the rights from Spielbergo)
Brian...there are tons of ways to get them
eBay ronnicshop (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZronnicshopQQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1) hk apestore (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZhkQ5fapestoreQQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1) vince carter15 (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZvinceQ2ecarter15QQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1) have all hooked me up in the past and can be a good source for both new and old
e-tail (both domestic and Asian)
http://www.kubrickworld.com/resources.php
Simon
If things are exclusive to Japan or to the Medicom Collector's Club he's been a huge help to getting us the goods. Plus he's hooked me up on some of the hard to find chases from other Kubrick lines and can probably score some of the older releases as well
There have been a few sets released at US retail, the Rocky Set and the Batman sets come to mind off the top of my head, SW can't be released here due to the license with Lego
-
I should add I have not bought a Master Case or regular case of SW Kubricks before, mainly because I want to buy a full set and not get the dupes that go with it...I usually buy off of eBay or etail...

Yep, won't know what the chase figures are until there released & as Scott mentioned, eBay is a great way to find out what they are.
Simon has been very helpful, those Japan exclusives are a bitch when bidding on eBay!

Excitement building for the box set and series 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D I can't wait.

OK Boys and Girls! As I said before, I will send out the TRU Sets at cost to JD members.
I know I asked you to do this before, but I'll get you to do it again. Please mail me Jedi Defender with your full name, as I get a bit confused who I'm dealing with (there seems to be more than enough Jims for me to handle ;D).
Please let me know by October 1st as I don't want to get an order of 100 or more over the next 2 months. I won't accept any orders after this. Also I will only accept orders from JD members who signed up before September 20 this year (I'm sure you can understand why this has to happen. I don't really want people reselling these, when I could do it just as easily. ;))
Right! I'm heading over to clear out my inbox now. Do your best to fill it!
-
Sounds good Simon, if you could, could you make a list of people who have contacted you too...if there are a lot of us, perhaps not everyone will get a set and back-up plans need to be made in case

I'm sorry, I've committed to C3, something a couple of folks have not yet done and they might, just might be from Minnesota.
But hell, if you're willing to wait until I drive down there for a Wolves game, sure, send them to me. Then they can pay me for my mileage and customs fees. :-*

Word on the Street is that a release date of Mid October for Series 3 is what was advertised, however, they have been running late for the last few months, might not be until November :-X

-

Well I am hoping that they are not carded.

Nope. They will come in boxes like the last 2 series!
-
So...anyone else besides me think these will be carded?
I'll guess they will stick with boxed...
One of my "secret sources" ;) are saying they will probably be boxed, but with the larger size box used in some of the other Kubrick lines.
8)
Jeff
-
The SW are the big boxes though, I've only ever seen two sizes, smaller ones like Marvel and Bigger ones like SW
I have also seen a trend that non-Blind assortments have all been carded lately
-
I can't see how that Carbonite block is going to fit in a box. It's pretty big compared to the other figures.

-
I hope it's not a prototype, that would just slay me! :-\
Taking a look at the pic below, click on pic for a larger view, it's not in 2 pieces so that throws that out the window. I say he maybe 1 per box of 12 & he will be packaged... :-\
I sure would like to know what it looks like from behind! :-\

-
The Raisin Bran Kubrick from Kellogg's 3 was boxed and I would say it is as wide as the carbonite Han. It will just be placed diagonally in the box is my guess.
-
Also the Tom Cruise character from the Minority Report series came with a large computer screen about that size so maybe....
-
So just a bigger box is all that's necessary? I mean the box that houses the 12 pieces and of course a bigger master case.
Just placed my order for a box with HLJ. No point messing around. Luck has been off for the first two series, so hopefully this one will pay off.
-
So your paying alittle more for your box Brent. Mine was 8,892 Yen & yours, 9,360 Yen. 468 Yen difference. Almost $5 more. Meh, not that bad.
-

Exactly what I was thinking.
-
I was thinking about the chase figures today. I came up with these possibilities.
TPM C-3PO
General Lando
Tie Fighter Pilot
Chewbacca - Hoth perhaps
All these have some relation to the other figures. Got any suggestions?
-
My guess is its going to be someone totally different. I think those variants are a possibility
Variant: TIE Pilot
Chase: Lobot
-
My guesses on the variant have been all over the map the last few weeks...
Carbonite Block --> Carbonite Han (unfrozen), Jedi Luke
AT-AT Driver --> TIE Pilot
Lando --> Skiff Lando, General Lando
Jawa --> Some Kind of Droid
Wicket --> Any # of other Ewoks
C-3PO --> Ep1 3PO, TC-14
But, I'll guess:
Variant - TIE Pilot
Chase - Boushh (pulled from Carbonite Han Box)
:)
-
Vader
Yoda
Who else could be made from Indiana Jones that would attract attention?
Something from THX1138?
-
Howard the Duck
A Different Indy (Tuxedo or Possessed Indy from Temple of Doom)
-
Who else could be made from Indiana Jones that would attract attention?

Toht

Or, like Scott said it could always be from a different Lucas Movie:
Howard the Duck
Willow

-
An Ugnaught from the Cabonite box.
Leia In Hoth Gown from the Lando Box.
Mabe the Ice Cream Maker Guy might make his action figure debut. What do you reckon Scott?
-
Oooh, that would be sweet!
I continue to hold out hope that a Indy Kubrick line will happen on its own
-
Are we expecting two again? Something common and something wacked?
How about a sandtrooper with a black or grey pauldron. There's a cost saving measure, a la Hasbro.
-
Some really good choices here. I'm leaning towards a Vader & Yoda.
Tie Fighter Pilot, Slave Leia, or Emperor's Royal Guard would be nice. Droopy McCool, Max Rebo & Sy Snootles from the Rebo band would be interesting. Heck, Amanaman, EV-9D9 & Yak Face...endless. 8)
-
Methinks we are very close to having another join our ranks...
Wonder if he'll step out of the shadows or enjoy his Kubrick in silence? :)
Jeff
*cough*

*cough* ;)
I thought you were talking about Brian/mosnab... No? He already chimed in a few pages ago. You pimpin' your extras to someone else as well. Like a total JD virgin?
Anyway, regarding the Chase figures, I think you guys are going totally bonkers here with some of your ideas! :-* Vader & Yoda? Those are way too MAIN of characters to be chase figures I think. Look at the chase figures we've gotten so far:
1 & 2) Two paint variants on the regular Boba
3) A paint variant on the regular Sandtrooper
4) An accessory variant on the Cantina Band Member
5) And a figure (Indy) from an entirely different movie franchise...
So I think a lot/all of the aforementioned ideas just ain't gonna happen, and that's a good thing since most of them are characters that should probably see a regular release. We went through the whole Chase figure guessing earlier on in this thread too. I'll have to see if I can go dig up which page that was, and see what my guesses were.
I think the best guesses based on what we've gotten before are:
C-3PO = K-3PO (and/or the silver version from ANH or ESB)
Lando Calrissian (ESB) = Scoundrel Lando (from end of ESB, but not General Lando since that's too main a character)
Wickett = other random Ewok (painted differently)
Carbonite block = silver version (since in some shots it looks brown, and in others it's more like silver/grey
AT-AT Driver = Tie Pilot (doubtful though, since it's an entirely different character)
There's no chance of a chase figure in the boxset though, right? That's gonna be window boxed like the Speederbike set, I'd imagine...
I don't keep an eye on any other Kubrick lines though, so maybe some of you can speak to the Chase figure selections in those... Are they usually just paint variants like in this line, or are there some bigger differences than that?
-
*cough* ;)
I thought you were talking about Brian/mosnab... No?
YES, I was...
he just got Han in the mail today and I was wondering if he'd share his thoughts now that he has him in hand. :)
Jeff
-
Medicom is really random with chase figures from line to line. Marvel is very similar to Star Wars in the chase figure department. You get variants of ones already produced. Other lines like the Matrix (Keymaker, Architect) had completely different characters included. I'm not even going to try and guess what the chase for Star Wars 3 will be. I just hope it rocks.

The final word one this is that I will try my very best to get these set for everyone. It appears that it will be pretty easy to get at TRU stores, however, if it is not the case, everyone will have to look them through alternate means. Those of you who have dealt with me in the past will know that I have the best intentions and will do the very best to make everyone happy. ;D I'm hoping that 15 sets will be easy to come by but then again, who knows.....

Thanks to Jeff, I officially own "a Kubrick" now. Perhaps the first step into a larger world.... Still not sure if I'll be able to afford to keep up/catch up with all of you, and dive into this all the way, but I'd sure like to. This is the first time I've seen a Kubrick in person, and they are really nice little figures. I could see where this could definitely become a disease....Kubrickholism is it? Hopefully I can continue on, but doing as I always do, and starting in late, it might be a little pricey for me right now to catch up. If I can't, I'm happy to at least have a Han Solo, too bad Chewie doesn't come single packed as well :). I definitely now see what all the "buzz" is about with these things :).

Hi All,
I am new here to this forum.
I currently obtained a spare CARDED DROIDS KUBRICK, I am willing to trade it for the bearbrick Wickett, its the only piece i need as of yet that i dont want to hunt down.
thanks,
Ciro :D
-
sorry, i didnt mention it was a droids boba fett.
unfortunately it has those little round impressions on the card.
3 of these have passed my hands and they all had these rings on them, all exactly the same.
does anyone know what thats about?
-Ciro
-
Hi there Ciro. Welcome to the boards. What do you mean by rings on the card? I have one here now but I can't see any markings. Are they near the punch?
-
Hi Ciro, welcome to JD. Well I have cards with these rings on them. Looking at my Droids Fett, I have a half circle next to the left punch & 3 very small half circles on the edges of the card. On the first Carded Fett, I have a very large round impression on the upper right & 2 small edge circles.
Carded Luke: 1 small circle mark like a paper ring reinforcement.
Carded R2: 2 small impressions on the bootm.
Carded Sandtrooper: nothing. 8)
We talked about these rings awhile back in the Return of the Kubricks (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=3677.765) thread. Mostly on the 1st carded Fett then I added the Luke & R2. I think these are done by the machines/press when the cards go through a conveyor belt or when the bubble is attached to the card or when the cards are cut.
As for a Be@rbrick Wickett, I don't think any here has one unless Scott has not told us! ::)

Hey everyone,
Not sure if this is old news but I just got an e-mail from HLJ and they said if you order a case of 48 Series 3 Kubs it doesn't guarantee a sealed case- could be 4 ad hoc boxes of 12. What's my best bet? BBTS? Any other ideas?

Tony (The Carded Kubrick Guy)
Thats what I was thinking when I ordered series 2, taking a gamble that the boxes of 12 would be sealed which I lucked in. Not sure whats going to happen this time around. Just have to wait & see.
-
I would guess this means that they open cases for the people who only order 1-2 and they need to combine opened boxes some times to get it back to 4
-
With series 1 & 2, HLJ sold them individually for 780 Yen, this time they are selling them by the box of 12 as far as I know.

Tony (The Carded Kubrick Guy)
Dale, didn't they have this caveat with series two as well? I remember talking to you about it. I can't imagine why they'd bother cracking a master case to send four separate boxes :-\ It wouldn't make much sense.
My guess is they'll be sending master cases but want to cover their butts on later orders, perhaps after they've opened some master cases???
-
I'm sure they open the master cases & pack them according to there orders, 1, 2 boxes & so forth. They may even do it to store them on there shelves in storage.
Not sure the last order I had was a master case as the 4 boxes were loose & no sign of the master case cardboard box. Makes no sense to me ethier repacking them.
-
I got a sealed master case of 48 of Series 2 from Toynk.com . I may go with them again even thogh they are a bit more expensive.
-
Like Brent said, it doesn't make any sense to open cases of 4 if you ordered four.
-
It will be interesting to see if HLJ sends a sealed master case or puts 4 boxes in loose in another box. That last order for series 2 was for 5 boxes so they may have just opened a master case & added 1 box & fit them in another box for shipping. This order for series 3 is for 4 boxes so we shall see.
-
I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to do...
1) Order a Full Box - Keep a set for me and then sell the other 6 figures to the local cronies.
2) Buy a set off eBay - maybe get a chase that way?
3) Buy a full set from a retail site - might pay more per figure than if I bought a case, but lesss than eBay full sets?
:-\
Jeff
-
Same decision I have to make every time too Jeff. It's a pain, especially with the prices being down, relatively speaking. I've still got that set of series 2 with the white Sandtrooper plus a Han ::) and an extra sandtrooper.
Basically I got lazy. I ordered the case from HLJ and it's done. My guess is with enough patience you can end up saving money by going ebay. Even with the chase, mostly because, in my experience, a case is a pretty limited shot at a chase piece. Frankly this stuff is a pain, but I've been able to be less worried about chase pieces simply because most don't matter. Indy was the exception for me. Vader would be too.
I'd have gone with BBTS if they'd had sets again, but since they decided not to, a case was easiest.
-
I'm going to buy a full set on eBay...sellers usually wait 3-4 days after the release and will sell them. Sure I will pay more than some but I know I'll have a complete set AND I won't risk not getting a chase and then having to pay more to get them
3 weeks and counting...hopefully :-\
-
With my order, 1 box is for me & 1 for Matt B & the other 2 I get to open & those 2 sets are spoken for so my odds are not to bad. Sure I'll have a few extras but I can get rid of them in time. Just fun opening them & looking for treasure! ;)

That will take a lot of the fun out of treasure hunting and opening up those blinded boxes... :-\

Yep that will. :-\ As Scott mentioned, hopefully we will find out in a few short weeks.
-
I'm pretty sure they won't be carded. Marvel Series 3 remained consistent woth the previous series. So I can't see why they would do it to Star Wars.

Thats a good point. I think they will still be boxed.

This missing a red armband, right?

-
Sure looks that way...did it fall off in the bag?
-
I'm not sure, but I have seen other regular Fetts missing armbands.
-
Yep, missing a red armband. Looks like a factory error that got by. I don't think it fell off in the bag, there on there pretty good.
-
Almost there (jumps up and down in giddy anticipation)
-
"Stand by for action! We are about to launch more SW Kubricks! Anything can happen in the next few days/weeks! ;D
-
Yeah, it's been a while. Anticipation is definitely building for series 3!!!
-
I cant wait, I am hoping for soemthing.

What do you folks think about the new carded
Holo Leia (http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=http://www.rebelscum.com/toys2004/kubrickhologram.jpg)?
Well, the Leia from the Early Bird Kit was the biggest dissapointment for me so I am not to thrilled about the choice. However, the card looks mighty nice and will add to the overall collectibility of the figure.
DBK
-
Holy ****! That sure came out of nowhere... I thought you were just messin' with us for a second there Matthew, 'cause I was just over at RS about 10 minutes ago and there was nothing about it! Anyway, looks like the same deal as a lot of the other carded figures - 500 at __ event, and the other 1,504 online later on. I wonder if the edition sizes of these are going to go up one with the new year in a few months...? :P
As for the Leia, I guess it looks pretty cool. Certainly not my first choice in figures on my want list obviously, but basically any new Kubrick is a cool Kubrick. Looks like they're definitely working the ol' Hasbro rehash strategy now though... :-\
-
Holy! :o 8) My heart just went racing! So another limited edition of 500 at the WCC19 & 1504 to be released later.

-
Meh. I'm not impressed.
-
No I will not be going to that convention! >:( I haven't been lucky in the lottery before, but maybe my luck will change this time.
It's cool and I definitely have to get it for the collection, but again it's just another variation of another figure. When are they going to do some new ones.
Va-der, Va-der, Va-der, Va-der!!
-
Well I want it. I am glad to see it will probably go for around the same as the Droids R2 and Boba Fett. As for the choice, well it's alright. I would have much prefered if they continued with the Droids line like a C-3PO or Vlix.
-
Where is my snowtrooper kubrick figure? :(
-
I'm sure it's coming eventually, incircles. Probably just a couple series away still... BTW, welcome to JD, and Kubrickville! 8)
What bums me out about the carded figures is that when they're different than any of the normal releases, I really feel like I want to get them both carded and loose, which is obviously rather insane considering their prices. Ugh!
But for the meantime, I'll just stick with the carded ones until I can find a nice cheap loose one of Droids R2, Droids Fett, Sandtrooper, and Holo Leia... :-\
-
Don't forget the first carded Boba Fett Matt! Ya gotta have it! ;)
-
Isn't the carded Boba the same as the one of the Series 1 chase Fetts? Looks the same to me. Matt's mission would be done in that case.
-
Yes it is but Matt must have a carded one. ;) ;)
-
I'm not sure if I've seen a picture of a complete collection on here or not, but here's mine. Well at least until Series 3 comes out any day now.

Adam might find a few of those familiar.

Very nice Simon. 8)
I wish I could find those small display cases, wonder why there not making them anymore? :-\
-
Beautiful Simon! Man I need to get my ass in gear on those carded Kubricks :-[
-
(http://www.ne.jp/asahi/getnood/now/Graphics/jpeg/Kubrick/Star-Wars/swkubcoll.jpg)
Ooooooh. Pretty. Maybe I should try to grab one of those Luke or R2 for my growing collection...
Wait. Too expensive. Other stuff I can buy with the $$$... or should I... no.
OK, Note to self:
I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not want to collect carded Kubricks, I do not...
I don't think it's working... :-\
Jeff
-
Try this Jeff:
Win a carded Kubrick on ebay at a decent price. Enter into months long discussions with buffoon that presold it and can't follow through. Find out friends too are having same difficulties. Send money to buffoon with expectation of something in return. File complaint with paypal and get 90% of your money back, knowing buffoon has remainder and still sells on ebay.
Works like a charm for curing the carded Kubrick lust. Trust me.
-
Man, that's a beautiful picture there Simon! I've been waiting for someone to post a shot of EVERYTHING all together like that. Nicely done... 8)
Isn't the carded Boba the same as the one of the Series 1 chase Fetts? Looks the same to me. Matt's mission would be done in that case.
Nope, I still need the carded Fett. Basically, I like to have all figures both carded and loose. So in the case of the first carded Fett, I already have it loose, since it was available as a Chase figure in Series 1. So the loose one's already taken care of, but then I need the carded one that came out afterwards.
Conversely, the Sandtrooper and Droids carded figures were never available "loose" before, and they're "new"/unique figures, so I'd like to pick them up twice - once to keep carded, and another one to open, so I can still have a "complete" loose collection. I'm contemplating going so far as to wanting to do the same with the Speeder Bike set and the upcoming TRU boxset too. Keep one in sealed in the pretty window box, and open one set of each up.
Of course, the obvious problem here is cost. Especially on those carded suckers! So for the meantime, my top priority is going for the carded versions (and boxed) to keep sealed, and if later on I find a good deal on another of any of them to open, then I'll go for that for my loose set.
Make sense? :P
-
Simon, what's behind the loose bounty hunters?
I can make out what appears to be the logo and saber from a card, but it looks like it has been trimmed.
-
I think that's just the cut off "lid" from one of the Bounty Hunter series cases...
-
Simon, what's behind the loose bounty hunters?
I can make out what appears to be the logo and saber from a card, but it looks like it has been trimmed.
Yeah its just the counter bob that I cut up. I keep them all from the boxes I open. They look pretty good behind the figures.
And those little plastic boxes for the individual Kubricks are are going to be a real curse. Because they've stopped making them, I might have to start transplanting some of the Marvel ones I have for the next Star Wars series. I only bought about 40 or so. i hope they release them again sometime down the track.
-
Awesome picture. Very Very nice.
-
The dollar value there is scary for some small bits a plastic!
But yeah great pic!

Keep an eye out on eBay, we will soon know what the chase figure/s are! 8)
I'm surprised it's taken this long and so close to the official release :o Because the releases are so far apart, I don't really recall what the timeline was between figuring out what the chase were and time of shipping. I swear we knew about Indy weeks before HLJ shipped out. Maybe it is still weeks before HLJ ships again, but it doesn't seem like it.
-
I think it was like a week or so and it took some time for them to ship them I believe...
I'm going the eBay route...hope to get them next week too if I can swing it so I can get some pics up
-
I see 2 auctions from the same seller on eBay from Malaysia stating he has them inhand.

Both auctions are the same, Items for Sale by haroball (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZharoballQQsorecordsperpageZ50QQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1) if he has them inhand, would you not think he would at least have a chase figure on auction?
hk_apestore auction states a release date of 27 OCT, 2003 NEW! MEDICOM STAR WARS KUBRICK 3 SETOF6 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5930053775&rd=1) guess hes got the year mixed up! ;D

Hey hey, they may be out then!

They maybe out there & out here next week, not sure but keep a close eye out on eBay & all other reports! ;)

So exciting. ;D
Still trying to decide: Box of 12 -or- Set of X on eBay. :-\
Jeff
ps
With the launch of Series 3 do we need a new thread? This one's getting pretty big with all us new guys in here :-*
-
On that note, I will be offering Series 3 custom carded Kubricks if anyone is interested. Han Carbonite will be offered in a replica 12" box with a custom Han Bespin figure. I will also be offering a custom carded Han in Stormtrooper disguise. I have pics of these on this link. I also have a few Darth Vaders left if anyone is jonesing for one since Medicom didn't make one again. Let me know. Here's the link-

I am going to try ebay as well. I want to get a set with all the chases. Here's watching closely.
-
If someone has a spare set from a case and they want to sell it gimme a holla and i'll take em off your hands.
-
...if anyone is jonesing for one...
Hell, I've been jonesin' for most of your stuff for quite a while Tony. I just can't afford them all (and yes, I would have to get them ALL if I even got just one). Great work, as always.
Now where the hell is the Series 3 Chase news?! Can't wait much longer here...
-
We should know the chases in a matter of hours. Keep a close eye on the bay. ;D
-
The sooner, the better. :)
-
HOURS!!!!!!! Sounds good to me i cant wait.

From JediMAC: Alright, since our prior Kubrick thread was getting too big, it's time to start all over again with yet another new one - so here we go with Star Wars Kubrick thread #5 - Revenge of the Kubricks! Good time to start over, with Simon's news on the first Series 3 Chase figure! So here's a quick recap of our Kubrick history here at JD, for anyone looking to catch up on things: Power of the Kubricks! (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=4623.0) (part 4), Return of the Kubricks! (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=12;action=display;threadid=3677) (part 3), The Kubricks Strike Back (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=12;action=display;threadid=2020) (part 2), and if you want to read all the way back to the original thread that started it all, New Star Wars Kubricks (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=12;action=display;threadid=231) (part 1). Now carry on, and enjoy our Kubrickmania, here at JD!

Looks like one of the chases is a Han with Carbonite Blindness

-
Awesome!
I would guess he comes in the Carbonite block box (obviously). I'd also guess that he is the easier chas (a la white pad sandtrooper)?
If so, I can't wait to see what the uber-Chase will be!
Jeff
-
Here's the set of 6. It looks like the Carbonite block is seperate.

That is soooo friggin cool. ;D
C-3PO
Lando (ESB)
Wicket
Jawa
AT-AT Driver
Carbonite Block
and
Hybernation Sickness Han (CHASE, pulled from Carbonite Han Box)
Just need to get the info on that last chase!
And info on the case pack so we know who is short packed!
Jeff
-
I think you get naming rights on that one Jeff. Hybernation Sickness Han. I like it. Nice one. There is the posibility that there is only 1 chase. The last Marvel Series had only 1.
-
BOOORING!!! :-\
-
Eh. Makes sense, of course, as we were all expecting to get a Han to go in the Carbonite slab at some point. Sure is a boring as hell figure though... As such, I don't think it'll get too outrageous in price, unlike the Fetts and Indy.
And Simon's right, there may just be one this time. Also, keep in mind, that the first series had 2 VHTF Chases (the Fetts), whereas Series 2 had one VHTF, one easy to find, and one that was basically just a 1:1 ratio (Indy, White Sandie, Alternate Cantina Band Member). So I don't think there's going to be any rhyme or reason to these as each new series comes out... Heck, it's a little comforting knowing there may just be one to chase down this time.
Thanks for the heads up though Simon. As always, you kick much ass, my friend. 8)

Not such a creative chase figure, but cool nonetheless.

Thats it! Looks like hes holding back a fart! He looks so plain. :-[
This is the 3rd Han sort of, 1 from series 2 then the Indy chase, this one then we get a 4th, Han Bespin in the TRU box set. God, looks like there following Hasbro with the Han's!
Oh well, part of the set so hes a must have, just hope theres more to go with this set! :-\
-
Eh, I'm glad!
As a collector of all things Han and Chewie, I for one am glad that Han is getting much Love! As long as they keep cranking out unique versions, I'll keep buying him. ;D
Han Solo (plus Indiana Jones CHASE)
Carbonite Block (plus Hibernation Sickness Han CHASE)
Bespin Han Solo
Hear that, Brian! You got some work to do now with your Kubricks!
(I know you're out there and I know you like Han and Chewie as much as me ;))
Jeff
-
I wish Luke got some love...two stinking figures and they are both the same with different hair
This chase is cool, I still think there will be a variant though too

From the Front page of JD.com!

-
Still not in stock at HLJ, should be soon. I wonder what the box asortment is without the chase/s? Hate to see 2 sets in a box of 12, if so then I'll have a lot of them. :-\
I don't expect to see my order till sometime in November.
-
Guessing but....
Carbonite x4
Lando x3
C3PO x2
AT-AT x1
Jawa x1
Ewok x1
Other potential chase: Different sized Jawa; different Ewok; AT-AT commander (Veers); different Lando.
Chase are usually the higher packed figures yes? So if that assortment is correct, then Lando variant would be leading the pack for another chase, if there is one.
-
There is a chase Ewok.
(http://img127.ac.yahoo.co.jp/users/9/8/8/2/h_kubrick-img480x524-1099060790wiket.jpeg)
-
Logray!
-
That chase Ewok is definitely Logray! 8)
-
Well that will save me some money right there ;D Adjust that case pack so you end up with more Ewoks in it.
This is a great series. If I get Han, fantastic, I'll be ecstatic. If not, no big, it doesn't mean that much to me. The Ewok? If I get it it's off to the bay with the vile little fuzzball.
-
The Ewok? If I get it it's off to the bay with the vile little fuzzball.
Ewok hater! :P
-
I'm sure there will be more than enough people here that will take him :-*
-
I could be wrong but I think Lograyt is 1/48.
-
Ewok hater!
Yes? :P
-
I could be wrong but I think Lograyt is 1/48.
Yeah I think he's the true chase figure and the Han is a variant...is there a chance he is actually packed behind the Carbonite Block?????
-
There is a chase Ewok.
(http://img127.ac.yahoo.co.jp/users/9/8/8/2/h_kubrick-img480x524-1099060790wiket.jpeg)
:o
Awesome! Once again, thanks Simon for the info!
I want the whole set of 8!
Jeff
-
Jackpot! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Cool stuff. Looks real nice, even went with some new body molding, so that's impressive...
But that should do it for the Ewoks now, thanks. 3's more than enough. Let's get back to the good stuff now! 8)
Thanks again Simon! Keep 'em comin'!
-
Here are a couple of pics

What do you reckon?
-
So...
Star Wars Kubrick Series 3
C-3PO
Lando (ESB)
Wicket
Jawa
AT-AT Driver
Carbonite Block
- and -
Hybernation Sickness Han (Variant, pulled from Carbonite Han Box)
Logray (CHASE, pulled from Wicket box)
Time to check paypal and make sure I got some moolah left in my account to go shopping...
-
I think Han & the Carbonite block are separate. Looking at that picture, the bag length is not right & the Han bag looks as if its over lapping the Carbonite bag, then I could be wrong. Just have to wait & see what starts showing up on the auction block.
Overall, a very nice set! 8)
-
Three Ewoks = overkill. I'll sell mine to Brad at a grossly inflated premium. I tell ya, Ewoks were the start of the downfall of the franchise that lead to the joy in Episodes I and II. Can't believe Colman isn't with me on this theory. :P
-
Beats the hell out of a Jar Jar Kubrick! :P
-
Bide your time, it's coming. Ewoks begat Jar Jar. :P
-
Can we get a Jar Jar Carbonite Block please! :-*
-
As I mentioned before, I think the carbonite block must be put in the box from corner to corner, looking at the picture of the boxes, there the same size. I sure would like to see a pic of an opened box with the way the block is packed.
-
Three Ewoks = overkill. I'll sell mine to Brad at a grossly inflated premium.
Just send me a PM. I might be willing to buy all of your Kubrick Ewoks (including that Logray, if you find one), and I'll get me an early Christmas.
Edit - Yes, I'm serious.
-
It has begun!
MEDICOM STAR WARS KUBRICK 3 CHASE 1:48 Logray (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5930750697&rd=1)
I put the Logray name in the link, the seller looks like he has no idea what this is & mentions a Wicket & like Simon mentioned, a ratio 1:48.
-
I like the Han variant. Logray as the main chase is kind of lame. At least he is completely different from the other two Ewoks. However, we now have three Ewoks and no Vader or Yoda. I'm going to get all of them, but I'm not going to like it. ;)
-
He's cute, but not $124 cute.
::)
-
That is the most rediculous price I have ever seen
I was thinking $120 for the whole set of 8...not for one damn figure >:(
-

Edit - Yes, I'm serious.
Hey Brad. No worries, you'll be first on the list. I'll certainly sell you the extra Ewok from my box, presuming there's more than one. In spite of all my whinging, I'll keep one each of the Ewoks I get, but I have no love for Logray, so if he appears, we'll work something out. You will have to chase out the Ewok in the box set on your own, as I'll probably keep it.
Still working on my diorama of scout troopers barbequeing Ewoks with the flames from speeder bikes. :-*
-
I agree its pricey but someone will buy it & it sure as hell won't be me!
Just noticed he changed the price to $119. now ::)
Whats with these sellers saying the series was released in 2003, ****! ;D
-
Hybernation Sickness Han now up on auction & included are the other 6. $82.99.
MEDICOM STAR WARS KUBRICK 3 SETOF7 CHASE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5930760698&rd=1)
Take note that Han looks to be by himself & not attached to the the carbonite block bag, seller lists HAN SOLO RATIO : 3/48.
So far 2 chase figures have shown up, maybe 1 more?
-
Well Han is a little weak, but Logray is cool. I hope that the price comes down a bit.
-
Is 3/48 a weird ratio? :-\ 1/48, 1/96? Third chase piece? Hmmm. Liking Han more, this bad. :-X
-
Full sets with Indy last time were what...$120-$150? Or was that just through BBTS?
I know Indy was $150 for a while so the original price may not by horrible in comparison, but its ludicrous compared to other Kubrick line chase figures...absolutely rediculous
-
I think it was $120 through BBTS. Just checked it out...
Woohoo!!!
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/toystan.asp?Queryid=af441
$125 shipped...includes Indy and Chase Sandtrooper
Oh man am I happy right now!
I think they put the price up shortly after.
-
Yup, but not that much. I paid $135 for the full set, IIRC. Then lucked out on customs because it ended up looking like $13 on the declaration ;D
-
Still overall not a bad price you guys got for them. Heck of a lot better than $201.99 for both these new auctions.
-
Oh yeah, I agree. I only ordered the case from HLJ because the indication was that BBTS wouldn't be doing the set thing again. Otherwise it would have been a no-brainer, IMO. A higher premium, but nothing to unload made it very appealing.
A little torn right now, especially if BBTS does make sets available despite earlier comments. I would like to remain complete with the loose figures, but my loathing of Ewoks tempers that quite a bit. The Han is neat enough and would look cool posed in front of the carbonite block. Who knows, maybe I'll be lucky with this box, I'm due. ;)
-
Alrighty folks, as per our previous 3 Kubrick threads, this one's grown to monumental proportions, so we're going to cut it off and move on to part 5 now, so click the following link, and enjoy!
Revenge of the Kubricks! (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=5606.0)
-
That's what I remember, I believe I got a set of 8 plus Indy for the price of what Indy was going for at the time which is why I was so giddy
-
I think Matt got in on the same deal at the time you got yours Scott except he got that so called
variant factory error white pauldron dude.
-
Pretty sure it was $119 for all 9 of them from the last Series, Scott, 'cause after you pointed out that deal you found at BBTS, I went over and jumped on it too! I'll see if I can dig up the old post on it.
I'm not an impatient nutjob like a few of you, so I'm just going to play this Series by ear, and see what happens in the way of good deals. This stuff always winds up dropping off immensely after the first several weeks or so. I can wait a little while to save some moolah, I suppose...
As for that Carbonite block, I've speculated all along that it would probably just barely fit into one of the boxes diagonally, as Dale just mentioned. Of course, any intelligent person would then therefore be able to deduce that if you've got any number of Carbonite Han boxes to choose from, you should easily be able to identify which ones have the block, and which ones have the Han, just by lightly squeezing them on two opposite edges...
Though I think Logray's pretty good looking (in a purely pleutonic platonic kinda way :P), like most folks I'm not a huge Ewok fan, so I would've preferred seeing the Chase figure being a "Scoundrel" Lando (from the end of ESB) or a Tie Pilot instead of yet another Ewok, but oh well.
-

Yeah, yeah, yeah... My first damned spelling error of the year. Not surprising that the old man called me on it. :P Thanks for the spelling lesson B! :-*

Realising that Matt made a mistake I say he should go back to shcool! ;D

to shcool! ;D
Indeed. ::)

Oh, I see. So that one was actually intentional, huh? ;)
Anyway, back to the Kubricks, you bunch of yappedy damned chitchatters!
Reminder for a senile old man again please, when is the TRU boxset due out? Was it December?

Reminder for a senile old man again please, when is the TRU boxset due out? Was it December?
This is the final list for the Kubrick TRU Set coming out in December.
Get with the program (http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Old.gif) man, first the eyes then the memory then his bladder! Bladder, thats another story! ;D :-*

There's a variation Jawa too. Check it out.

Good eye, Simon! Where the hell would we be without you?! 8)
Welp, that should finalize it then. Looks just like Series 2 now. HTF Chase (Logray), easy to find variation (Carbonite/Han), and accessory variant (Jawa).
Cool. At least I feel like I know where we stand now, and what I'm on the lookout for! Guess we should've seen that Jawa one coming, since he's holding the little commlink gadget on the box picture there. Cool little bonus. I like it, and fortunately it's on the Jawa, who I don't mind have a couple of.
As for the senility, bite me Dale! :-*
-
Super, I was wondering about a 3rd, cool. Now to find out the ratio on him. :-\
This is going to be fun, chase Han, Jawa & Logray with Logary being the tops. Bring it on! Come on HLJ. 8)
What a great year for SW Kubricks. ;)
Thanks Simon, sure does help. :)
You can bite me too Matt! :-*
-
Pretty sad that Hasbro couldn't think to offer the other cool little gadget as an accessory with any of it's prior Jawa figures, like Medicom already has on their first try... ::)
BTW, anyone got a name for that thing, other than "droid control comlink gadget thingee"?
-
BTW, anyone got a name for that thing, other than "droid control comlink gadget thingee"?
I quite like "Droid Watcha-ya-call-it Gadgety Control Thingy" myself.
-
Way too wordy Simon. C'mon man... Sheesh! ::) We'll just have to stick with mine for the time being then...
Guess I better update the "Official Unofficial Kubrick Checklist" now, eh? And move it over into the new thread here somewhere...
BTW Simon, have you got all of your Series 3 already, or are those pix from elsewhere? 'Cause if you've already got them all, then you better slap an updated group shot in here for us pronto! ;) If not, then ya' better hurry your butt up! We're waiting... 8)
-
Nah, I haven't got a set yet. Actually, I'm going to try and buy a complete set including chases and variations. I reckon thats the cheapest way to do it in the long run. I've still got Hans under my bed, behind the door and generally floating around my apartment from Series 2.
-
That looks like a Droid Caller Restraining Bolt thingamabob.
Just saw a chase Han on auction, $19.99:
SERIES 3 Kubrick Chase Secret - Han Solo (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5930797555&rd=1)
He also mentions that Han is a ratio of 3/48.
He has a picture of the top of the display box. 8)

The Logray auction has ended for $119.
STAR WARS KUBRICK 3 CHASE 1:48 Logray (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5930750697&rd=1)
One more pick of them together.
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Kubrick%20Series%203%206%20Set.jpg)
-
I love the Jawa variant, very nice touch. I need a set now!!!!!
-
Hey, if anybody wants to unload some Han Solos from Series 2 let me know. I can use em. Let me know. Tony- bikridtony@aol.com ;)
-
Why the **** would someone buy that damn Ewok at $120? Now they will all be sold at that...idiots ::)
-
So...
Star Wars Kubrick Series 3
C-3PO
Lando (ESB)
Wicket
*Logray (CHASE, pulled from Wicket box)
Jawa (w/Droid Caller)
Jawa (w/Ion Rifle)
AT-AT Driver
Carbonite Block
*Hybernation Sickness Han (Variant, pulled from Carbonite Han Box)
I see that "vince.carter15" from Kubrick World is charging:
$57 - set of 6
$74 - 6 plus Han
$160 - 6 plus Han and Logray
:o
-
$160 is getting close to what I'd pay, I'd pay probably around $130 for a set of 9
-
I would pay around that, a little less woul dbe better of course.
-
Why the **** would someone buy that damn Ewok at $120? Now they will all be sold at that...idiots ::)
I agree. Craziness. But he has probably flushed $50 down the toilet. Indy is up around $100 at the moment, but that's a way cool figure. Logray was by far my mosted figure as a kid, and I think unless alot of Ewok freaks come out of the closet, it'll settle around $75.
-
Has anyone posted the case ratio yet? If not I believe it is the following:
1 X C3PO
1 X AT-AT Driver
1 X Lando
3 X Wicket
3 X Jawa
3 X Carbonite Han
-
vince.carter15 up the price? Has the 6 + Han & Logray for $178.88. Yikes.
Noticed that hk_apestore has a variant Jawa listed & mentions that the ratio is 1/48.
STAR WARS KUBRICK 3 CHASE 1:48 JAWA (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5930861625&rd=1)
According to the auctons if they are correct, the chase ratio's are:
Han: 3/48.
Jawa: 1/48.
Logray: 1/48.
The case ratio I found on an auction is listed as:
C-3PO ratio : 1/12
HAN SOLO IN CARBONITE BLOCK ratio : 3/12
AT-AT DRIVER ratio : 1/12
JAWA ratio : 3/12
WICKET ratio : 3/12
LANDO CALRISSIAN ratio : 1/12
HAN SOLO ratio : 3/48
That puts it at what you mentioned Padawan. ;)
-
Yikes! This is a bin auction.
STAR WARS KUBRICK 3 CHASE 1:48 JAWA (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5930882709&rd=1)

If that goes for more than $10 in a month, I'll be surprised.
-
Another one for the chase Jawa.

-

LANDO CALRISSIAN ratio : 1/12
HAN SOLO ratio : 3/48
That puts it at what you mentioned Padawan. ;)
Wouldn't it make more sense if the chase Jawa was 2/48? I am just curious on how they normally do things.
-
I think you're spot on there Daniel. If it's 50/50 Japan/Hong Kong assortment rate for the Jawas, I think that's a good call.
-
All I have to say is wow! I am excited about these.
Mind you they are not perfect but all in all we should celebrate the choices and variant and secret figures.
So what does shipping run to the US for a box from HLJ? Any other place you guys would recommend picking these up?
DBK
-
It would make more sense if the Jawa was 2/48 but the 1/48 is what I'm seeing thus far as per the auctions.
The last order I had was for 5 boxes & that ran me...
Shipping Charge: 6800 yen. $62.87 Total. About $12.60 US per case. 8)
That was for up here so maybe someone elase can help with the cost to the US. BBTS still has the pre-order...

-
I just placed an order for a master case from Spanky. I should have them Tuesday or Wednesday. ;D
-
If the Jawa accessory variant ends up being a distribution thing like the Cantina Band Member let's hook each other up.
-
Good ol HLJ, sill says (http://www.hlj.com/graphics/justarr.gif) but now the release is November, just hope it this week.
That Jawa is still showing up as a 1/48 release so it may be hard to hook each other up. :-\
Just checked completed & this auction by ronnicshop has the Jawa & Logray listed at a ratio of 1/96.
Star Wars Kubrick Series 3 FULL SET 9 pcs (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5931020309&rd=1)
The auction is also a full complete set of 9 that went for a whopping $219.99!
-
I see he has another set up!
Little high for me. I have dealt with him before and it went great (got series 1 from him).
Going to take the plunge and order a case of these (me and 2 others), mostly for the fun of it.

Welcome to JD & the Kubrickmania Adam, nice to have you here. :)
Do you have more SW Kubricks in your collection besides the series 1 you mentioned?
I'm sure the other set he has will get bin'd in time.

Thanks for the welcome!
I have series 1 (no chase Fett), Series 2 (both Sandies and Indy) and Series 3 soon.
Early Bird set, Luke/Leia Biker set, and the knock off Kamiru Biker Scout set.
I haven`t gotten the carded figs, too much $$ for my taste, plus I like to open them all, heh.
This was before I got the Biker sets and Indy:
(http://essentialcomics.com/swkubs1.jpg)
I have a few other pics here: Mini Figs (http://essentialcomics.com/starwars/misc.htm)
I like the block figures, as you`ll probably see ;D
I have a box of stuff to set up yet, how you can you run out of room with block figures??!
-
Now I recognize you with that avatar. ;)
Very nice seeing the figures set up on the Early Bird stand. 8) Someday I'll have all mine set up & get a pic for Simon here since he posted his collection the other day. Yep, carded Kuby's are pricey boy do I know. ;D
Very nice collection you have Adam, Thanks for sharing. :)
-
I had to put them higher, so I moved a small DVD rack type thing into the SW room.
I was up there the other day and my monster cat found that he can take the kubs with him if he is quick enough :o
I`ll have new pics soon, just lazy this weekend.
I saw some nice acrylic cases on the bay awhile ago, table top ones, that would be perfect, but I don`t think the early bird set would fit in them.
-
An Early Bird case would be nice, may have to order a special Acrylic case through Oscar. Heres his site: Acrylic Cases (http://www.kennertoys.com/cases/)
Oscar made a case for the Speeder Bike set & its awesome.
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Oscars%20Endor%20Kubrick%20Case.JPG)
I still have to get off my butt & get my display cases done that I got from Michael's Craft store. Just have to drill foot holes & add pegs so they don't fall over, I like having the mirrored bottom.

The other plus they have is the cases can stack, just need a place to display them all. :-\
-
I am starting to think that the Jawa is not going to be like the Cantina Band Member. Its not just the weapon thats different, the cloak is different too. Its a totally different figure. Thats awesome, but it sucks in a way too.
-
I'm thinking more and more of just buying a master case from Spanky and selling the e :-\xtras
-
My god your bang on. There are different cloaks between the two.
Holy ****! Are my eyes seeing what they are seeing, the chase Jawa has what appears to be a Vinyl cape! (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f060.gif)

Well,
I bit the bullet. :-X
Master Case of 48 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5931055385&rd=1)
I used up all my spare spending cash for November, but maybe I'll luck out with a good chase (Logray)...
So, I should end up with:
12x - Wicket (or 11x Wicket & 1x Logray)
12x - Jawa (or 11x Droid Caller Jawa & 1x Ion Rifle Jawa)
9x - Carbonite Block
4x - ATAT Driver
4x - Lando
4x - C-3PO
3x - Hibernation Sickness Han Solo
Anyone need some Ewoks or Jawas? Carbonite Block? Maybe a set of 6 or 7 (with Chase Han)?
I'll have extras! :P

If you have extras, I'd probably be interested in a set of 7, with the Chase Han. Let me know and we'll work something out. :)
-
When you get that master case Jeff & with everyone one else that ordered one, keep tabs on the placement of the figures so can figure out where the chases are. ;)
You caught me off guard on that Jeff, you started slowly & moved up. Hope you get good chases. :)

Finally a back side pic of the carbonite block, there are 2 clips to hold Han. 8)

-
Hmm, very interesting news on the Jawa. Great catch gentlemen. That's a very appealing piece all of a sudden. :o I think the Han will work out to end up pretty inexpensive, like the white pauldron sandtrooper, yes?
BTW, I have a spare white pauldron sandtrooper to trade for a Hybernation sickness Han if anyone has interest in doing so down the road. Also have a spare set of Series 2 if any lurkers are interested.
-
Yep, it does indeed look like the chase Jawa is 1:48. So three chase figures this time around. Sucks for the wallet, but it makes it more exciting. Hey OCB, PM me if you would like to know what a master case from Spanky was shipped.
-
Should be getting my set of 6 from YesAsia soon. Not sure if they come sealed in the boxes or not. I like the Han and Logray chases, so fingers crossed I get my hands on them.

First of all, welcome to Kubrick Country Adam! Nice to have another Kubrick fanatic aboard. Our previous Adam recently retired, so it's good to have another one on board now... ;)
And nice eye, Daniel! To me, it looks like the commlink Jawa is sculpted in plastic, but the blaster Jawa has one of those cloth outfits like a few of the previous Kubricks. Doesn't look like sculpted plastic to me, like the regular one does...
Regardless, this Series is starting to look pretty gnarly if it really does have 3 "real" chase figures in it. Still no word yet on whether any of these are just the usual Japan/Hong Kong variant? I'm still just gonna wait patiently on the sideline to figure out exactly what the heck we're dealing with here. It'll be good to see what you guys get out of your cases too. That should help solve some of the ratio questions and such.
-
I am starting to think that the Jawa is not going to be like the Cantina Band Member. Its not just the weapon thats different, the cloak is different too. Its a totally different figure. Thats awesome, but it sucks in a way too.

Remark : You are looking at a STAR WARS KUBRICK [SERIES 3] full set of 9, one cargo of 48 only have either SECRET JAWA OR SECRET WICKET[/u]
If this is the case, and my mathematics is right, doesn't this make the Vinyl Cape Jawa and Logray 1:96 each? And therefore that would make them much rarer than Indy.

I think you are right!
Have to wait and see on this one, damn krackbricks!
-
Boy if that is right, its going to be a hunt for the Logray or Jawa. More rarer than Indy, crap, the price might go higher on ethier of them! :-\
-
I've got my fingers crossed that you get all chases in one master case. If not, I probably should have just bought a complete set of 9. :-\
-
Hard to say whats is going to happen, I read a short blurb about a guy who pulled 2 Indy's from a box of 12. :o
-
Well, after looking over the auctions, I decided to buy a set of 9 for $200...time will tell how stupid that is but most sellers are saying the Jawa is 1:96 which means its going to be a $100+ Kubrick by itself. The Logray will be around $40-$50 in the end if its truly 1:48...so I think I talked myself into that I didn't just overspend by $70 :-\
And BBTS better not have full sets for sale this time either, or I will be PO'd >:(
-
If it's true that they are both 1:96, $200 will be a really good price Scott.
-
If it's true that they are both 1:96, $200 will be a really good price Scott.
That's sort of what I'm thinking, every indication is that the Jawa is not in every case, I think Logray is though based on what the auctions have been showing all along. Even if there are two 1:48 per master case $200 is pretty close to the right price

If you only get the Jawa or the Logray in a master case I think you made the best decision Scott. Congrat's on your purchase. I can't wait for my case to get here. The anticipation is killing me. ;)
-
If it's true that they are both 1:96, $200 will be a really good price Scott.
I agree, Congrats Scott. At least the chase is over! ;)
Looking back at series 2, HLJ shipped on Dec 4th & they arrived on Dec 9th, very fast as it was a big box & came by courier, They were released on Nov 27th so HLJ shipped about a week later. Basing it on that, HLJ should ship series 3 by the end of this week making it by next week for the cases to arrive or the week after, I hope! :-\

Master Case of 48 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5931055385&rd=1)
I used up all my spare spending cash for November, but maybe I'll luck out with a good chase (Logray)...
So, I should end up with:

9x - Carbonite Block

4x - Lando
4x - C-3PO
3x - Hibernation Sickness Han Solo
Anyone need some Ewoks or Jawas? Carbonite Block? Maybe a set of 6 or 7 (with Chase Han)?
I'll have extras! :P

Jeff, I'll take an extra Jawa or two as well

I really considered buying one of those sets of 9 myself, but I decided to go the master case route for the "fun" of opening the boxes and being surprised.
Everything I'm reading indicates that it seems like 1out of every 4 Master Cases offers up a Jawa... that would be 1/192 on the Jawa if it's true!!! There are a lot more Logray out there compared to Jawa... :-\
If so, that $200 for all nine is a great deal now... those 1/192 Kubricks sell for that much alone!
Jeff
ps.
Scott, glad to sell ya an extra Jawa or two, we can work that out when my case gets here. ;)

It's part my own detective work and some of the stuff I've read at HongKong and Japanese sites where ppl have opened their Master Cases.
I've been keeping track of all of the Lograys and Ion Rifle Jawas I see on eBay, Japan eBay (bidders), and both of the yahoo auction sites for Japan & Hong Kong.
Almost all the auctions state that with the Master Cases you will always end up with either Logray or Jawa, meaning that they are 1:96 if evenly split, but I keep seeing Logray much more than the Jawa being pulled.
No hard evidence yet (too early), but lots of circumstantial evidence pointing to a 1:192 Jawa and 1:48 Logray instead of both of them being 1:96.

HLJ is now showing series 3 as low stock.
Item is in stock, but at the current sales pace we expect to run out within one week (if we don't get new supply).
And they just happen to be doing server maintenance when I checked my order. :-\
-
Woot!
Just got shipping confirmation. My master case should be here early next week! ;D
Jeff
-
And BBTS better not have full sets for sale this time either, or I will be PO'd >:(
Y'know, I'll be right there with you on that one. To the point where I may just sit on my box and not open it until they post what they are doing on the site itself. Rumours are one thing, but if they come back with a $150 complete set of 9, I'll be ordering it in the blink of an eye (like everyone else)
-
And nice eye, Daniel! To me, it looks like the commlink Jawa is sculpted in plastic, but the blaster Jawa has one of those cloth outfits like a few of the previous Kubricks. Doesn't look like sculpted plastic to me, like the regular one does...
So I was wondering the other day what the significance of this odd little difference between the Jawas was - one plastic sculpted version, and one "cloth" version... When it struck me: This is yet another nod to the Vintage era. Duh. The "vinyl" caped Jawa, and the "regular" Jawa. Cool! No wonder they're making the Vinyl caped version so rare - it's mimicking the Vintage one's scarcity!
Another very cool display of collecting knowledge from the folks over at Medicom... 8)

HA! Now Dale knows what it's like to have people not read HIS posts Some Karma feedback from that Knight thread... :P
Holy ****! Are my eyes seeing what they are seeing, the chase Jawa has what appears to be a Vinyl cape! This is awesome & a very nice nod to the vinty line. Kudo's Medicom.
Either that, or you old guys don't read so well...

Can I at least suggest that brilliant minds think alike...?!
:P
-
Well I have to agree with Jeff that there a hell of a lot more Lograys than Vinyl Cape Jawas right at the moment, so that might indicate that Jeff is correct about the ratio thing.

Sweet, so far so good. Looking forward to getting the Kuby's. :)

What is HLJ? Also, what were the prices for cases and sets?
Thanks!
-
HLJ = www.hlj.com HobbyLinkJapan
I believe they are based in Japan but have someone in the US running the business side, its sort of weird, but they are a major supplier of cases and sealed boxes of Kubricks
Not sure on what a cost of a case of 1 or 4 is shipped, Brent or Dale should be able to tell you
-
How would you like to have all of these hanging on your wall at home...
(http://i9.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/bb/97/6b_3.JPG)
:o Now that is one lucky dude!

I saw that pic on the bay was drooling over it!
-
I am not being greedy i just want a Boba Fett and a Sandtrooper from that pic, he can have the rest.
-
He maybe a lucky dude but he's selling them on evilbay! One 1st Boba Fett (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36553&item=5931098840) & a Sandtrooper (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36553&item=5931101779) has been sold to the same bidder.
On a special note:
Confirmation email from HLJ has been achieved!
This message it to let you know that the following merchandise has been shipped to you from HobbyLink Japan.
Brent should be getting the same email. ;)
As for the cost, 4 boxes of 12 each: $410.35 CDN or $334.50 US.
Shipping: $54.22 CDN or $44.20 US.
Total: $464.78 CDN or $378.71 US.
$83.62 US a box.
Don't forget, I got a special pre-order saving from them & it was for 4 boxes not cases! :-[
This just in, HLJ now has Series 3 Kubrick's up for pre-order (http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?MEDKUB-170A).
Preorder this item by Aug. 24 to get it for 5% off the regular price of 9,360 yen!
8,892 Yen was the price.
They gave me a tracking number this time. 8)
BBTS wanted $369.99 for a master case which is sold out according to there site.
-
Brent did receive the same email, so all is good. :D
-

I'd prefer just one of each, thanks.
Lucky? Maybe. Greedy, hoarding, speculating turd, more like. ;)
-
Super Brent, since we got our orders done today, keep tabs on how long it takes to get here. Just a little curious on how customs is doing, so far so good in my neck of the woods as for parcels go!
Yours may go through the PO, mines coming EMS.
-
Yeah, mine always comes through the post office. It shouldn't be overly long, I'm guessing around next Friday. Customs is pretty straight forward from retailers, they simply put the charges on and that's it. No guesswork. Which is good, since I have a few packages coming again. :P
-
BBTS wanted $369.99 for a master case which is sold out according to there site.
I put an order in a for a case from BBTS this morning, hope I made it in time. It was in stock when I did it of course.
I emailed Joel at BBTS the other day and he said they weren`t doing the sets this time around, just like others have reported from there.
Wish me luck at getting the chase! Me and 2 others are splitting the case.
-
Good luck. Thanks for reporting what Joel said. Too bad they're not doing the sets. I love the Indy and would love to have the Jawa as well. I've got a full case for myself, so have a shot. Here's hoping my luck I didn't have with Indy or Boba shows up in time for the Jawa.

Good luck to you too! I was planning selling off the extras (jawas, wicket, carb blocks) but might keep the Jawas, it would be neat to have a bunch, especially the chase one to go with them :-)

Hey all, I moved some stuff around in anticipation(sp?) of the new wave, here are some pics:

Very cool, thanks for the pic!
I just got into these a few months ago, so my focus has been mainly the SW ones, gotta have priorities :-)
I want the Marvel figs next for sure and finish up the Aliens sets. Also want the Tron sets but can`t spend the $$$ right now. 400% Batman isn`t too far off either!
Where did you get that display case? I have one empty wall in my SW room and that would free up some shelving nicely...
-
It was sold through a site affiliated with YoJoe.com a few years ago. http://www.375toys.com/ I think it was called, they are still in business but the cases are no longer for sale
-

Thanks! I`ll keep looking, bound to find something sooner or later. I saw some for hotwheels and such awhille back that might work for kubs.
-
Nice collection there Adam. I think that's the first time I've seen the bootleg Speeder Bike next to the officially licensed Medicom version. Man, you can really see the difference! Very nice work by Medicom. I remember how much I loved those bootleg versions when they first came out years ago, but I'm very glad there are some official versions available now. MUCH nicer! Still dig the cheesy knockoffs though. 8)
Scott, that'd be a decent pic there, if not for that totally STUPID Barry Bonds figure down there by the AT-AT. Dumbass. ::) I trust you'll be re-wallpapering during the remodel...? :-*

Oh, yeah, the kubs are way better. The bootleg speeder is funny though, buy his head keeps falling off if I have him out of the case. I like the clones, but they come with METAL guns that thier gimpy little hands don`t hold worth a crap >:(
I want the Escape From the Death Star set for the Han and Luke stormies too, even though the chewie scares me :o
-
The Biker Scout's noggin falls off? That's lame. Think it's just an isolated issue with yours, or do you think they're all like that? The Speeder, canned Fett, and Death Star Escape sets are the three that I still need to finish off my bootlegs. I've just got the standard 3 (ANH, ESB, ROTJ) and the Han Carbonite.
As much as I dug these when they first came out, I KNEW I was in big trouble when I first heard that Medicom was going to start making the "real" thing. Now, like many here at JD, it's one of my favorite lines to collect!
As for the clear display cases, another area to look into is the model railroading hobby. They've got a lot of nice display cases that are similar in size and shelf space to what Scott's go there. Don't recall any good links off the top of my head for those right now though...
-
Don't forget, I got a special pre-order saving from them & it was for 4 boxes not cases! :-[
That sucks, but you never know that may be awesome. You may end up with 2 boxes with chase figures. If you happen to get 2 Chase Jawas, remember me lol. ;)
-
Yeah, be an optimist Dale: first, they'll likely send a master case anyway, just easier. Second, if they don't and depending on how messy they are, you could end up with four Jawas with vinyl capes :D
-
Oooh, I want to play too...
Here's my slowly growing collection:
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/11-04/jlsKubrick.JPG)
* Batman DC Box Set
* 4 Back to the Future
* SW Series 1 (no chases)
* SW Series 2 (with Indy chase, I still need to pick up White Pad trooper from my pal)
* Muppets Series 1
-
I'm only opening 3 of the 4 boxes so if I have any luck like I did last time...(http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/Smileys/classic/cool.gif)
-
Nice Back to the Future Stuff Jeff :P
Love,
KubrickPusher
-
I'm surprised that the VC Jawa's are not up there in price right now...I see sets of 8 (minus Jawa) sell for $180, while an auction for a set of 9 is sitting there for $220. Not sure if its because the market is still shaking out the rarity of them or what, I would guess if they are 1:96 each that they would both eventually settle in the $50-$60 range each, but if its 1:48 and 1:192, then the Jawa is still going very cheaply
-
I bet the Vinyl Cape jawas are going to be really hot. Everyone likes jawas and will appreciate the nod to the vintage line.
The logray on the other will not be as popular. He is an ewok after all and not as popular as a jawa I would think. I expect him to be about $50-75 if he is 1/96.
I think the vinyl jawa has the potential to be a lot more lucrative.
-
Yeah I agree with that. I don't think everyone has clicked on to the idea that this is a Vinyl Cape Jawa. They are going for $60-70 now but give it a month or 2.....
-
Yeah I agree with that. I don't think everyone has clicked on to the idea that this is a Vinyl Cape Jawa. They are going for $60-70 now but give it a month or 2.....
Yep, he keeps showing up as a chase figure which he is but no mention thus far as a Vinyl Jawa. A few sellers are mentioning he's 1/96 then again, 1/48. I don't think anyone knows for sure yet.
On a good note, my parcel is on the plane right now.
-
I really want to buy a Jawa but am affraid to pay too much. What to do? ???
-
There's still much confusion whether the chase Jawa is 1:48 or 1:96 - Does HLJ ever release what the actual ratios are? It looks like we need some sort of official source.
1:48 (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5930887294&fromMakeTrack=true) BIN = $90
1:96 (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5931815242&rd=1) BIN = $79
Do you buy now while they're "cheap"?
-
No one knows what the ratio is until there released to the public. All the reports we get are from what we see from eBay, other sites & people that have opened these boxes.
HLJ is a distributor & they don't open any boxes. I have not seen Medicom release any info on ratio's & I don't think they ever will.
-
Question. Wouldn't the 2 Fett variants from Series 1 actually be 1:96, if we assume that there were equal shipments to both Japan and Hong Kong?
-
Question. Wouldn't the 2 Fett variants from Series 1 actually be 1:96, if we assume that there were equal shipments to both Japan and Hong Kong?
I think that would be correct. However I think the demand for the Japanese version of the chase Fett is higher so it inflates the price of that particular one. Maybe the increased demand is due to the nod to the vintage figure.
-
Actually I think it's just because of Yahoo Japan. Most of the Yellow variants just don't make it anywhere near eBay. So the red variant goes for a premium on Yahoo.
-
For those who ordered series 3 through HLJ & got there shipments out were lucky, as I expected from the past ordering through them, they sell out quickly & I mean quickly. If they get anymore in, that will be just plain luck, they never do.
Stock Status:(http://www.hlj.com/graphics/oop.gif) Discontinued
Item is out of stock and the manufacturer has discontinued it. We don't expect to get any additional stock for the forseeable future.
As we get closer to our shipments arriving, the people that ordered a box or more, best of luck in acquiring the figures/chases we all seek. :)

Thats looks nice, best of luck! ;)
Remember to post the position of the figures in there boxes. :)
-
Cool.
And, remember what Dale said, check the location of the chases in those cases! :)
Mine should be here soon as well... hopefully by the weekend,
Jeff
-
Ah, the excitement builds. Little old cheap me only bought a box, so it'll probably arrive around mid-November. What can I sell to justify buying a vinyl Jawa on ebay? Hmmm....
-
Hey there,
Congrats on those cases! Wish I could afford one. For those of you with extras I'll take them off your hands if you want to get rid of them. Trades are always welcome too. T
PS- Anyone know when the Holograph Leia comes out?

Thanks for the upate Jon!
So that should settle the Chase Han issue at least. Looks equivalent to the White Sandtrooper (EASY) Chase from the last series, which was a piece of cake to get, and eventually settled in at a paltry $10-$15 range. No sweat. 8)
So we're not looking at 3 HTF Chases after all.
So Logray's likely a 1:48.
I wonder what the deal is with the VC Jawa though... Could it be one of those HK/Japan things, where Logray's the Chase in the Japan cartons, and VC Jawas are in the HK ones? Dunno...
-
Also I don't want to steal anyone's thunder, but here is what I have to sell & what I am asking. Prices include Priority with delivery confirmation in the U.S. International will be more.
Set of 6 X 1: $55 shipped
Set of 7 with Chase Han: $70 shipped
Wicket, Jawa, Carb Han set: $20.00 shipped
-
Congrats Padawan, one more to go!
-
Nicely done, Congrats. 8) Thanks for the lay out of the placement of the Kuby's, this should help us out. :)
Logray, very sweet. 8)
Next person to get a box/case reports! ;)
-
So then the odds of getting a chase piece are actually 1 in 2, if you ordered a box alone? Half the boxes have one of Logray/Hybernation sickness Han/Jawa (presuming it's not Hong Kong/Japan). That's cool. 8)
-
Yeah its 1:96 that you get a Logray or Jawa, if Jeff's hunch is correct its more like 3:192 on Logray and 1:192 for the Jawa but we don't know for sure
-
Note to Self:
Open Box 4 first. ;D
It will be interesting to see what happens...
who's next?
Jeff

Padawan,
You wouldn't be interested in trading for some carded Kubricks by any chance?

Oh yeah, I understand that part completely and our sample size is waaaaaaaaay too small to really make the comment I made. I was just being an optimist and going for happy odds. Keep crapping on my day :-*
-
I should amend that, its 1:48 for a Jawa or a Logray, 1:96 for Jawa (maybe) and 1:96 for Logray

Quite so, but it's one in four for ANY chase piece, if you order a box of 12 (actually a little better given the Hybernation Han is three to a box, but whatever). Optimism lad, I know it's weird coming from me, but work with me here ;)

This may be helpful to those interested in a chase Jawa or Logray
www.action-hq.com has Logray for $79.95 & the chase Jawa for $49.95. I just ordered a Jawa. $60 shipped. ;D
-
So again, if they are both even 1:96, why is the Jawa so much cheaper...weird
-
Those prices are good compared to evilbay. Just have to wait till the parcel arrives & see whats happens with it, maybe the route to go to get the missing chase.
I agree Scott, very weird on the difference in price. I don't think anyone really knows what the exact ratio is on the Logray & Jawa. :-\
-
Hmmm...
I am not sure what to make of this Logray/Jawa mystery. :-\
I am tempted to buy 1x each chase from Actio-HQ, then sell the extra (what ever I don't get in my case), then again, I am tempted to not spend $50 on a single figure. :-\
Decisions, decisions, decisions...

$10 to ship a single Kubrick? That's weak. They have one of those shipping systems set up by total price of the item?

I was snooping around trying to decide if I should buy one and it looked like it was $5.45 for basic AirMail (7-10 days), $14 for Express (2-4 days), and then $5 more for Insurance/Registered mail.
The $10 was probably Basic shipping plus Insurance/Registered Mail perhaps? :-\

Precisely.

Hey thanks for the tip! I just ordered a chase Jawa. It was only $5.45 for shipping. I think the Hong Kong Kubricks have the Jawa, that's why it's a bit cheaper. Thanks again! Tony The Carded Kubrick Guy
-
Padawan,
Thanks for the tip! After much debate, about 15 min, I purchased both chases and used the $4 off coupon for getting on the mailing list. $133 and change for both, my wife happened to be right next to me as I am working from home and urged me to place the order as an early Christmas Present.
In addition seeing the Han Solo (Indy Chase) there for $49.99 out of stock, helped as I see where the price has gone on that!
Thanks again Padawan,
DBK
This may be helpful to those interested in a chase Jawa or Logray
www.action-hq.com has Logray for $79.95 & the chase Jawa for $49.95. I just ordered a Jawa. $60 shipped. ;D
-
...and used the $4 off coupon for getting on the mailing list.
I tried to do the same thing Matt (just the Jawa though), but they wouldn't send me the damned code! :-\ I figured it's 'cause I once ordered something from the quite a while ago, so I signed Patty up instead to see if that might work, but again, nothing. I was so annoyed, I didn't wind up ordering the Jawa from them. :(
-
I just tried to get the code thing too. No dice.
-
My parcel is in Vancouver pending Customs clearance, should be here sometime this week. 8)
-
Very strange, early in the mid morning today I got on the code thing & it said I would get an email withing 5 mins. Nada thus far! :-\

Not to change the subject of series 3, but today is my girlfriend's and mine 1 year anniversary and one of the presents she got me a a carded Luke Kubrick. ;D One more down, 2 to go.

Happy Anniversary to both of you evenflow, a very nice gift. 8)

BOO-YAA!
;D
So, the wife and I went on a little road trip yesterday to take in one last nice weekend in Minnesota (can't squander a 64deg F day in November in MN). We drove a few hours south along the river where we went on a bike ride and stopped for a Picnic, then later we went out to eat for dinner last night.
So, about an hour ago, I realized I never checked the mail yesterday (because we were out all day)! I walked down to the community mailboxes and I found the magic parcel bin key in my box and BAM! I quickly opened the parcel bin to discover that my Kubricks were here!
;D

Woot! Chase Vinyl Jawa! ;D
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/11-04/jlschasejawa.JPG)
I'll open mine up and post some nice loose shots later...
Oh, yeah, and I should have 1x set of seven (basic 6 plus chase Han) as well as some individual Blocks/Jawas/Ewoks to sell (please send a PM if you are interested in buying)!
Very Happy!
Jeff
ps.
FYI, my case came from a Hong Kong eBay seller and the layout was basically EXACTLY the same as Padawan's, with the only exception being my Chase Vinyl Cape Jawa where his Logray was located.
Also, it is VERY easy to tell a Carbonite Block from a Hibernation Sickness Han by simply squeezing the boxes. That Carbonite Block is a tight fit in the box!
-
Congrat's Nataku. ;D
-
Nataku,
Congrats and thanks for posting the info. You can change your signature now as series 3 is yours now.
Are you planning on aquiring Logray?
Man, the more and more I look at these things the more I appreciate the line. Kudos and more kudos to Medicom / Kubrick who are manufacturing such a great line.
DBK
-
Are you planning on aquiring Logray?
Yes, I'll add him to my list and try to track Logray down after the price settles a bit (along with the Chase Fetts from Series 1, still need to track those down... and then maybe I'll track down the Endor Bike set too).
;)

I just noticed that the Chase Han has no weapon which I can understand, but how about the AT-AT Driver? That surprises me.

No weapon on the AT-AT Driver. :(

Where is the VC Jawa? Don't tell me you are going to keep it boxed!
;)
DBK

Congrats on the Jawa Jeff, he sure looks sweet! 8)
So it looks like we have a Hong Kong/Japan release ala chase Boba Fett happening, looks like Logray will be the chase in my case assortment thus far. I'll be happy with either of them. :)
-
Very nice, I cant wait to get me some. Oh an thanks for the congrats :) she got a kick out of reading your comments. lol

Hey Nataku,
I need a chase Han Solo if you have any extras. Let me know. Thanks! Tony

If anyone else ordered one here after I posted the link and doesn't get their order cancelled please be sure to let me know.

Padawan,
That is a bummer, sorry to hear the news. By the way of information, I bought both the chase Jawa and Logray after you posted the link and I received an e-mail confirmation that my items have shipped ????

****, that sucks! So much for that! :'( Sorry to hear you got screwed on the Jawa & Logray for anyone else looking. :-\
Damn! Now I am getting worried about finding the chase that I have no idea what I will need yet! Wheres that parcel! :-\

I got screwed on the Jawa too. Bummer.

was fisheyedlouie the only one to get his order thru??
-
Nataku,
Where is the VC Jawa? Don't tell me you are going to keep it boxed! ;)

Didn't open him yet in case I decide that I want to try to trade for Logray... Don't worry, which ever chase I do end up with always end up opened (like my opened Indy! :)).
Hey Nataku,
I need a chase Han Solo if you have any extras. Let me know. Thanks! Tony
bikridtony@aol.com
Sorry, all gone! Kept one for myself and then sold off my other two Chase Hans as part of sets of 7 (to two lucky JD.com members ;)).

It appears so...
-
Well...
I decided to open up the little Vinyl Cape Jawa w/Ion Rifle.
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/11-04/Jawakubs.JPG)
DANG! He packs quite the smell with that vinyl cape sealed up in that little bag... you toy sniffers will get quite a high if you open one of these! ;)

They look awesome in front of the Sandcrawler, is that the new one just released from Diamond?

Wow, they do look great with that Sandcrawler!
That is the new one.
-
Just got my bill from BBTS and paid for my bricks. Hope to have them soon! Wish me luck ;D
-
Very nice Jeff, I was thinking about keeping a few Jawa's & putting them with my vinty Sandcrawler. They will make great army builders. ;D
-
Very nice Jeff, I was thinking about keeping a few Jawa's & putting them with my vinty Sandcrawler. They will make great army builders. ;D
Speaking of army building, I've been considering getting a few more Sandtrooper's. I should have just kept some leftovers when I had them.
-
Now I'm really not sure WTF I will get with the boxes. Read that GBU over at SCS got his master case from HLJ & well...2 boxes & no chases, 3rd had chase Han's & the last box had the chase Jawa.
My tracking on my parcel is still showing pending customs clearance, with Thursday being Remembrance Day, it may arrive next week! :-\
-
Hmm, I thought no chance of getting the Jawa, but this is exciting news about GBU's box. Here's crossing my fingers.
-
Just gotta play the waiting game & hope for the best, time will tell. I would sooner have the Jawa but Logray will be fine.
-
Its sad that the Hasbro Sandcrawler looks better with Kubricks rather than the Hasbro stuff...and even then its not even close to scale :P
-
Just gotta play the waiting game & hope for the best, time will tell. I would sooner have the Jawa but Logray will be fine.
I'll trade that damn Ewok in a second for the Jawa, price/rarity be damned.
As the arrival creeps closer, the negativity seeps in. One in two odds that I'll not get any chase :-\ Still preferring to think of it as one in two odds of some chase piece arriving. :)
-
Ewok hater! (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/h030.gif)
-
Yes, that is my new sandcrawler, and yes, it does look better with the Kubricks (still not to scale though). I think I will leave it near the Kubricks though for the time being...
And, if anyone decides that they don't want their Logray, I'm still looking for one! :)
Jeff
-
Wow, I LOVE these Kubricks! Just can't afford to start collecting them. All those chase figures would make me crazy. (not to mention the Japenese carded exclusives) :'(
-
Hey stranger! :-*
Just lose the plates, Sharon, and the Kubricks can be all yours!
All the cool kids are doing it! C'mon, you know you want to... :D
On a separate note, guess it wasn't such a big deal getting stiffed on my $4 coupon for AHQ and not ordering the Vinyl Jawa. Looks like everyone but Fish got screwed on that deal! That really sucks...
-
That sucks about the Jawa, glad I didnt both ordering it from them, I would be so annopyed right now.

Hello all,
I am new here, I just received my order from HLJ (i ordered one box) and would like to report that I got a chase in my box.
Using Padawan's scheme of describing placement of the Kubricks..
1 2 3 is the back of the box, 10 11 12 is the front.
1. Carbon Han
2. Carbon Han
3. Carbon Han
4. Wicket
5. Wicket
6. Wicket
7. Lando
8. Jawa
9. Jawa
10. At-At Driver
11. Vintage Jawa :)
12. C-3PO
I don't remember is Padawan also Ordered from HLJ, but is so then
it seems that Logray and the Vinly Jawa are 1:48 repectively and the Vintage Jawa isn't just a variant a la Cantina Band Member.

Welcome. Congrat's on getting the chase Jawa. I ordered mine from Spanky in Japan. It really does seem like the Jawa is in Hong Kong cases, and the Logray is in Japan cases. Once Dale gets his we will have another example to prove what's going on.
-
Welcome bomarr Monk. Thanks for the info.
VC Jawas are showing up all over the place in Japan. Looks like a 50/50 spread between VC and Logray from what I can tell.
-
Welcome to JD bomarr Monk, great info on the box you got & congrats on the Jawa, not bad for getting 1 box. 8)
We shall see what happens with my order if I ever get the bloody thing, it's still showing pending customs clearance dated Nov 5th! >:(
Looks like it's going to be next week before I see it or maybe the week after if customs doesn't get off there ass! Damn there slow! :-\
Just depressing waiting for it to arrive. :'( Kuby's, wherefore art thou...
-
Hey stranger! :-*
Just lose the plates, Sharon, and the Kubricks can be all yours!
All the cool kids are doing it! C'mon, you know you want to... :D
LOL!! Bad influence!!! :-*
Well, it didn't take me long to catch up with Gentle Giants stuff, so maybe I can tackle Kubricks sometime soon. I saw someone that was doing custom cards for them, that would definately interest me if I started collecting them.!
-
My set of 9 is sitting in the Maplewood Annex Post Office...lousy Veteran's Day :P

Maybe you can bring them along for Show and Tell when we get together in a few days. 8)
Then I'll show you how well a 34 year old can outrun a guy who's still in his 20's... :-*

Well about ******* time, my parcel has arrived from HLJ. It's a sealed master case! (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/f060.gif)
Very strange, it came via EMS (Purolator) but it was delivered by Canada Post! ???
Now to open it up & see whats inside, wish me luck! :)
-
Now to open it up & see whats inside, wish me luck! :)
Good luck, let us know :)
-
OK, using the template that Padawan provided, I opened the case and there in the same order, that’s a plus. I’m going for the end boxes starting with box #1.
Box #1:
1 Carb Han.
2 Carb Han.
3 Carb Han.
4 Wicket.
5 Wicket.
6 Wicket.
7 Jawa.
8 Jawa.
9 Jawa.
10 AT-AT Driver.
11 C-3PO.
12 Lando.
I will say that is a very sweet smell opening the foil bags, intoxicating! ;D
Going for box #4 now.
-
This is exciting :)
-
Hey everybody,
I can get a sealed case of 48 (Series 3) for $325 shipped. Anyone want to go in on it? You would be guaranteed a Han Chase. Let me know ASAP. This guy is waiting. Thanks! Tony
-
Well isn't that interesting, it's the same placement that Padawan has except that #11 is a Jawa box. Time to open these suckers up! Starting to shake. ;D
Box #4:
1 Carb Han.
2 Carb Han.
3 Carb Han.
4 Jawa.
5 Jawa.
6 Jawa.
7 Lando.
8 Wicket.
9 Wicket.
10 AT-AT Driver.
11 Jawa.
12 C-3PO.
-
Sounds like a VC Jawa! Congrats Dale! :)
-
Congrat's on getting your case Dale. ;D

Awesome. ;D
So it was in the same box as the one that I got Logray in?

Congrats, Dale!
Be sure to smell him once you open the bag... :P
Or are you keeping him bagged too? ::)
Jeff
-
Awesome. ;D
So it was in the same box as the one that I got Logray in?
Yes it was. 8) Set up in the master case is the same.
Went for box #3 looking for the Han. Bingo!
Box #3:
1 Hybernation Sickness Han.
2 Hybernation Sickness Han.
3 Hybernation Sickness Han.
4 Wicket.
5 Wicket.
6 Wicket.
7 Jawa.
8 Jawa.
9 Jawa.
10 AT-AT Driver.
11 C-3PO.
12 Lando.
Well that completes the 3 boxes to open & the other stays sealed for Matt Brand. That will be box #2 & should contain:
1 Carb Han.
2 Carb Han.
3 Carb Han.
4 Jawa.
5 Jawa.
6 Jawa.
7 Lando.
8 Wicket.
9 Wicket.
10 AT-AT Driver.
11 C-3PO
12 Lando.
Added as I forgot to mention, I'll send you an email Matt on your case. :)
-
Doh! Make a post when I'm posting Jeff! :P
For the time being, he will remain in his clear plastic bag of doom untill I get my ass in gear & get those display cases up & running.
Overall, I am very pleased on how it all worked out. Now the hunt begins for Logray at a good price to complete the set. ;)
-
Dale,
Thanks for the report and congrats on the Jawa and good luck on the Logray.
I have a package at home with my seven, thanks Padawan ;D! Still no sign of my package from AFHQ with Logray and VC Jawa. I will let you guys know if and when they arrive.

Now where's my Logray! ;D :-X
I totally see the Droids C-3PO which I can't wait for!!!! But why do you think the Vinyl Cape Jawa? Just curious. Here's still hoping for Vlix!!!!! I just hope they continue on with the Droids line.
-
I was thinking of this awhile back, Medicom has the molds & they seem to reuse them when it comes to carded figures, just a difference in the figures ala Sandtrooper, Luke, R2, Fett except the first carded Fett where they just used the chase figure.
Putting a Vinyl Jawa on a card would be a ultimate nod to the vinty line. Not sure if they would change anything to the figure, its fine where it is but do to the rarity on the vintage Vinyl Jawa, its possible seeing him carded like the 12 back. They could even put on the proper vinty bubble to give it that look.
Dunno, just a hunch.
-
They look great, can`t wait to get me some!
Your pics are awesome too, what do you use for a background? Really like that blue.
-
Nice pictures! I can't wait to pick mine up.

That is just way to expensive. It will be a while before I get that or the Sandtrooper.

We got our case of bricks today and opened them tonight.
Our case was marked China and had the Vinyl Jawa. I didn`t put them with the other SW kubs yet, I just snapped this pic. I also got a bootleg Kamiru Han Carb from my buddy and took a pic so you can see the difference.

Just need the Logray now!

Very nice, glad you got a Vinyl Cape Jawa. 8)
Quite the difference in size between the bootlegs & the Kuby's.

Thanks, was hoping for the Jawa over the Logray, not that I would have minded him either, but I like the Jawa much more.
The knock offs even feel cheaper. The worst I think is Yoda. I love the expression on the bootleg Han Carb block :o

Very nice to see the comparison shot. The kubricks look so much better next to them

I wish I could track down one of thsoe Speederbike sets at a reasonable price...
They seem to pop up on eBay for $70-75, then finish with no bids. If only they'd drop the price one of the times that they re-post them then I'd glady try to bid. $75 is a bit too much for my budget right now... patience.

I watched them for a long time too. I got mine from someone in the states, so shipping wasn`t bad. Price was 65$ and I think shipping was 6-7 bucks. I also lucked out and got the Early Bird set from someone in the US and didn`t have to pay overseas shipping.
-
My apathy has hit new heights. I'm so disappointed by not getting a chase piece (not a realistic expectation) that my figures are still here in my office, sitting in their boxes. No effort to get them home and display them. Pretty lame, eh? :-\ Guess I should start watching the chase Han and Jawa on ebay soon.

This weekend is the Princess Leia Holo correct?

That's all we know so far! So for you obsessive compulsive completists, you're currently technically looking at 41 different loose figures (including carded blonde Luke, Indy, and Band Member w/ alternate instruments, among others). I'll be nice and NOT include the Carded Fett, since the figure itself is identical to the regular Vintage Chase figure (and it runs $300+). ;) Also, there's been 9 different bootleg Kubrick sets that have popped up in the past, so if you'd like to take a gander at 8 of them (sans Clonetrooper set), check out stormie's site.

Is that supposed to be a hint that I'm a tad overdue in updating this list...? :P
So what's the final verdict on the Jawa and Logray Chases, since I haven't paid a ton of attention...? Are they 1/48 each, and doing the Hong Kong/Japan split again? If so, LMK which is from where so I can make the list accurate. Thanks! :-*

This weekend is the Princess Leia Holo correct?
Is it? I need to quickly save up for this and the box set.

I don't think anyone really knows for sure yet. There have been more Vinyl Jawas than Logray's showing up on eBay but not a hell of a lot.

Ah man, I just finished Series 3 & this is coming out this weekend. Yikes, gotta save some $$$ up again! ;D

I would say they are both 1:96.
I'm putting in my order for the Leia's this weekend. I never got the Droids R2's or Fett's so I don't expect to see any Leia's either.

Must fight buying...
Cant buy...Jawas...

I just gotta have this Holo Leia. The Kubrick collection would not be complete without her. :'(

Ya' don't say... Is that how it works? If a Kubrick comes out, and you don't yet own it, that your Kubrick collection is no longer complete? Interesting how that works... :P

Hey everyone,
Couple things. I just got my sealed case from Japan. I was told it was a Japanese assortment. The boxes of 12 were not situated in the case like the diagram a few pages back. Also, I got a Vinyl cape Jawa. The box the Jawa was in was turned the other way. I also have 2 sealed cases of 12 if anyone is interested. $105 each and you will get a Sealed Chase Han with it. Let me know before tomorrow because I am going to put them on E-Bay. Tony
-
Oh yeah. I need a Logray too. If anyone has an extra I'd be willing to buy it off you or trade for it. Let me know. Thanks! Tony
-
Well not the best picture I've taken, problems with the camera right now. :-\
This is my collection thus far and yes, the figures have been released from there clear plastic bags of doom! :P
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Dales%20SW%20Kubricks.jpg)
Each series is in a plastic display case, as soon as Logray arrives, he will be added! 8)
-
That Stormie looks cool.
Is it hard to find?
Kevin
-
If by HTF you mean does it run $100 - $200, Kev, then yes. ;)

Guess your talking about the carded Sandtrooper Kevin, around neighborhood of $300. It was only available at the Medicom Toy Exhibit back in June this yr.
Dale, I'm so proud of you right now that I could cry... :'( :)
I told you guys that someday they would be released! :-*
-
Guess your talking about the carded Sandtrooper Kevin, around neighborhood of $300.
Damn. Hadn't checked in quite a while. Didn't realize they'd gotten up that high. Ugh. Guess I should've jumped on that boat while they were still relatively reasonable.
Makes it even harder to collect "carded" and "loose" on this sucker... :P
-
Wow.
I think I'll stick to the not so expensive regular figures.
These toys are too rich for my tastes.

Brent, simple because I am a homeowner with two kids and a wife ;D! Although my wife is extremely supportive of my hobby, I have to be frugal and have not found that piece or the Indiana Jones, speederbike set or carded Luke for a justifiable price yet.

The first picture of a carded Leia. Not a good one though.

Hey Thanks Simon, yeah not a good picture but it will do for the time being. Oh man, I just gotta have that carded Leia! Sweet! 8)

Awesome! Another carded Kubrick I can't afford to get right now! >:(
Maybe I should sell that extra kidney I've got, then I could afford a few carded Kubs... :P
Thanks for the pic, Simon!

Holy ****! 3 have now showed up on eBay & man does the seller want $$$ for his 3! :o
STAR WARS JAPAN ONLY 500 PC LTD PRINCESS LEIA KUBRICK (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5936678500&rd=1)
Much better picture of her.
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Kubrick%20Princess%20Leia%20Holo.jpg)
-
What on earth makes them think they can get that much. Seeings as the Droids Fett is going for under $100 and is a way cooler figure. I pity the fool that pays that much.
-
Another one for big $$$!
WCC Exclusive Star Wars Kubrick -Princess Leia Hologram (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5936688438&fromMakeTrack=true)
Oh I agree Simon, those prices are insane. ::)
Gonna be a long wait for me.
-
Well she has now been popping up on auction with openers for $99. One was bin'd for $120.
That seller I posted that has 3 of them sure revised his auction price from an opening of $150. with a bin of $250. to $99.99 with a bin of $150. The other sellers with lower prices must have scared him! ::)
-
hi, i'm new to jdforums..
anyway i gotta say these guys are trying their luck too much..
must be trying to target pple who are new to kubricks/ebay and have a bit of cash to spend.. hoping they will worry that they're hard to find so they will buy it at their buy-now prices..
jst look at the metal gear snake eater.. the price is obscene man..
and they're all the same guy.. he must be like this now.. ;D
but its quite good business ah... fancy getting like 10000% profit.. enough to cover for his/her entire japan trip..
-
Welcome to JD yujun. :) Yes the prices are insane, always happens when a new exclusives comes out. Though the carded Kuby's are hard to get over here being limited to Japan & limited numbers made on some of them, someone I guess does have to pay for there rent.
All in time more will show up & hopefully the prices will come down alittle. $60 to $80 range I don't think is too bad. :-\
-
thanks!
ya i believe they will drop to the prices of r2d2 gradually.. i hope.. :)
i wonder who's next in line for the carded choices..
-
I posted my thoughs awhile back on one carded fig.
I was thinking of this awhile back, Medicom has the molds & they seem to reuse them when it comes to carded figures, just a difference in the figures ala Sandtrooper, Luke, R2, Fett except the first carded Fett where they just used the chase figure.
Putting a Vinyl Jawa on a card would be a ultimate nod to the vinty line. Not sure if they would change anything to the figure, its fine where it is but do to the rarity on the vintage Vinyl Jawa, its possible seeing him carded like the 12 back. They could even put on the proper vinty bubble to give it that look.
Dunno, just a hunch.
As for another, I'm still leaning towards a Droids C-3PO. Then again, ya never know what Medicom wil do. They sure must have someone in there design team with knowledge of Star Wars.

Hi Yujun.
It's Simon in Japan here. I think we were speaking a few weeks back. Welcome to JD. The friendliest boards in Star Wars collecting world. Enjoy the stay.
-
I'm not sure how the jawas and the logray are split, But i got a box from bbts and got the logray and i got a box from hlj and got the jawa. The boxes had a different lay out in my box from bbts the hans were in the front. The box from hlj had the hans in the back. First series i bought boxes for and came out pretty good. I would send a pic but not real sure how to do that.
-
Sounds like the Hong Kong/Japan ratio to me. BBTS may have got theres from Hong Kong, in the last series, BBTS had the Cantina Band member with the instrument that goes around his neck & the Japan version had the Cantina member with the stand.
If you want to post a pic, you need a hosting site to upload the pictures or you can send the pic to a staff member & we would be happy to host it for you. :)
-
OK, heres your picture. ;)
(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Logray%20%20Jawa%20Vinyl%20Cape.jpg)
Just a tad blurry, I get that too when I get close to the figs for a close up.
So you bought 1 box from BBTS & got Logary & one box from HLJ & got a Vinyl Jawa?
-
LEIA!!!! I need Leia
-
I too want Leia, I don't necessarily want a carded one either, I'd take a beat up one to have open

I got our case from BBTS and got the Vinyl Jawa. Is there any markings on the box to tell where it came from?
-
the leia pre-ordering ends today... still hoping my japanese friend can help me pre-order one...
wonder how medicom decides who gets the leia... only 1504 up for grabs but there're like thousands of pple trying for it...
certaintly hope they improve on c3po if they decided to make it into a carded.. his head looks werid in series 3..
-
I just ordered a box and not a case. They were the same on the outside. I got really lucky on the two boxes. Just picked up a han on ebay for seven dollars, so my set is complete.
-
I too want Leia, I don't necessarily want a carded one either, I'd take a beat up one to have open
I want all of these damn things loose. Never see them that way, so what to do? Buy them and cut them loose :o I'm having the same dilemma with the Droids regular 3PO and R2 :-\
-
An original carded Boba Fett has turned up on the auction block, AFA graded too. Whoopee!

hi, i'm new to jdforums..
Just wanted to say 'Welcome!'
;)
-
I think I bid on a beat up R2 a while back but didn't win, not getting a Sandy either, not worth the $300+, same goes for Fett, R2 and Leia Droids Fett though I will buy eventually
-
to those who say 'welcome'.. thanks ;D
still looking for logray to complete my series 3..
looking forward to my extra wickets and jawa which i bought..
any news when series 4 coming out?
-
Wow! I just had my first look the the exclusive TRU set on another site! Sweet! Nicely boxed just like the Speeder Bike set. It does have Toys R Us printed on the front bottom of the box though. The Star Wars logo is covering about the bottom half of Holo Ben & a almost the bottom half of Han. :-\
Overall, a very nice set. Guess I'll have to get Oscar to make me another display case! ;)
-
Here it is (I assume this is what Dale was talking about, thanks to Reesy for the pic)
-
Oh yeah, thats the puppy. Very nice, too bad the pic is a tad fuzzy. :-\
-
Awesome, i can't wait. What is the due date on this again?
-
Should be in a few weeks, December I believe :), although their stuff has been getting out really late as of late
-
Yeah, sometime in December maybe early Jan. Simon will give us the low down. ;)

My buddy got boned on this auction.
EVIL BAY AUCTION (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5928702286&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT)
The guy changed his feedback to private, and doesn`t return any emails or phone calls. He got a few people that haven`t heard from him since. To the tune of about 700 or so bucks. He is in LA. He confirmed he got payment, then never to be heard from again. It was also brought to my friends attention that the pictures were from an auction earlier this year from an overseas seller. It is not looking good at this point.
Thanks for reading!
Adam
-
Not much I can add Adam, that has been said on this seller on the other forum. Just hope everything works out getting the money back.
-
She will get lower, no sense jumping the gun.
What did you pay for Droids Fett :P :-*
I paid 100.00 I could wait for him to go lower.
-
Ask Dale what he paid
-
Someone used the buy it now for 105.00 for the Leia. I was watching it, undecided what to do. :( Oh well, hopefully i will get her for less later.
-
alright.. i guess i'll jst wait for ebay then.. :-[
btw, if someone can help, pls pm me.. thanks! :)

Those scans are really nice, better detail. I'm really looking forward to the TRU set, both Droids look great but R5-D4 tops them all. 8)

Very nice. I'm looking forward to both.

No new SW Kubricks at Medicom this month, it will probably be a few months before we hear about Series 4
-
Has anyone else heard the rumblings of a secret Jango Fett 'brick being handed out at a Medicom Party in Japan?
I heard it was limited to 50 pieces, no word on packaging yet. :-\
Or how about the early rumblings that SW Series 4 will be RotS related? :-\
Vader
Emperor
Obi-Wan
Alien
Clone Trooper
Padme
Anyone else heard this? I'm hoping this is just rumoring and such. Hopefully there will be a separate line if they decide to do RotS Kubricks so that Series 4 can be RotJ related!
Jeff
-
Nice goss. I haven't heard anything like that, but if Medicom want to cash in on the RotS hype, that would be the line up I would imagine they would have.
-
I have never heard a Medicom Rumor, not one, I say its B as in B, S as in S
-
I never heard about this secret Jango Fett. Limited to 50 pieces would make it over $1000. to get! ::)

I've long dreaded the day Medicom turns towards the Prequels, but I fully suspect it'll happen eventually. Pretty sure that when they finally do, I won't be taking part - unless they're figures like Vader, Chewie, or R2 that "go both ways"... :P
-
Yikes, the carded Sandtrooper is still commanding big $$$. This is the latest one that was on the auction block.
Black Sandtrooper (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5936688438&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT)
I woudn't be surprised if Medicom did a Prequel series. Oh yeah, Greivous would just rock! 8)
-
I wouldn't mind prequel stuff but I hope it doesnt come for a while. I'd rather see them keep the original stuff going as they have been doing and continue with the Droids for the carded figures.

Ugh....I really hope this is indeed a rumor. It would be really out of place to all of a sudden switch to the new trilogy. There are soooo many more cool figures to do in the OT, that I wouldn't think it would even be on the plate yet.

Hi artooa6, Welcome to JD. :)
I'm guessing the TRU set is the same size as the Speeder Bike set but like DBK mentioned, it maybe best to wait just incase. Better safe than sorry.

Nice work Scott.

Nice Feature Scott. You might have get Dale to do a Carded Kubrick feature sometime.
-
Yes, a very nice feature Scott, great work. 8)
A carded feature, hmm will have to wait till that little blue lady arrives. ;)
-
Nice work Scott.
I second that. An excellent re-cap of series 3. :)
-
We need some carded pics for the archive too, Dale get to work
And thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it :)

Then you've definitely come to the right place, Dan! Welcome to the funhouse here at JD. Hope you enjoy your stay, and feel free to give us a shout if you've got any questions or comments about anything. We're here to serve! ;)
I can't remember if I ever gave yujun a proper welcome as well, so if I brainfarted on that, then welcome to JD yujun!
So Dan, since I haven't heard of anyone getting an "Oscar case" for the Early Bird set before, how do you plan on doing that? Just encasing the figures in their white plastic tray, I presume? As for the TRU boxset, it looks to be right around the same size as the Speederbike set, but I agree with Dale - I'd wait to order a case for it 'til someone can officially confirm that first...
-

That's what I was planning on doing.
I think it will stand upright better in one of Oscars cases.
Does anyone have their carded figures in Oscars cases?
Curious to know what they look like.
I've got some from Cloud City & I'm really not to happy with them. They are really wide like an AFA graded case & I like the tighter fit.
-
Does anyone have their carded figures in Oscars cases?
We've definitely got a few of those floating around in here somewhere Dan, but I'm not sure I want to go looking through 5 threads and about 2,500+ Kubrick related posts to find them! :P
But I'm sure one of the fellas will chime in with a shot or two of theirs. I think Dale and Jon both have them, not sure who else though...

You "chase" Fett chasers might want to keep your eyes on this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5938291690&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT). The ROTJ (red guantlets) Boba Fett version is currently sitting at just $38 with a little over a day to go. I'm sure it'll get bumped up into the $70+ range by auction's end, but it sure looks pretty good right now...
-
I do not have any carded figures in Oscars cases yet, only the Speeder Bike set. Well worth it. ;)
That a good deal on the chase Boba Matt, any idea who this bidder is? "jedimc".
-

Ha. Yeah, I figured I'd toss a tiny little bid on it, just on the off chance I could land it for super cheap and pass it along to one of you clowns who's still in need of it... ;) Got mine long ago, for a lot less than that. 8)
Got outbid, and now that it's gone a bit higher it's no longer worth my generous efforts, hence I pass the auction link on to you guys... :P

Damn I was hoping it would go unnoticed.

Blame Matt! ::)

Whoops. Sorry Daniel! :P
Maybe we should just make a sign-up list in here for who still needs what, and I can just PM the several appropriate folks when their respective figures are up on the 'Bay for a good price... 8)

Here's my "who still needs what" list of things I still need...
Star Wars Boxed Kubrick Figures - Mint/Complete, Loose or Boxed:
1x Series 1 Boba Fett (Return of the Jedi) - CHASE
1x Series 1 Boba Fett (Vintage) - CHASE
1x Series 3 Logray the Ewok - CHASE
1x Series 2 Sandtrooper (White Shoulder Pad) - CHASE ** I thought I had this one locked up via a trade, but my so-called pal seems to have let me down by changing his mind on the trade... >:( ::)
Star Wars Box Set Kubrick Figures - Mint/Complete, Loose or Boxed:
1x ANH Early Bird set w/Luke, Leia, Chewie, and R2
1x RotJ Speeder Bike Set w/Luke, Leia, and Speederbike
And all of them dang carded Kubricks. :(
-

1x Series 1 Boba Fett (Return of the Jedi) - CHASE
OK, but lay off that one that I just pointed out, 'cause Daniel's got dibs on it! ;)
-
loose Fett - both
loose/cheap/beat up droids R2
loose vinyl Jawa
That'll cover it. I'll stay away from this Fett auction.
-
Scott,
Very well thought out and written article. I too like how you played off the positive of this great line and did not play critic on any shortcomings!
artooa6,
I contacted Oscar and he responds with exceptional customer service and quickly. I am planning on going with the Tru-View Kubrick Style which he will do.
Remember he is running a buy 10 get one free if you have a need for cases of other lines.
Regards,
DBK

Well if we are going to do lists:

Sandtrooper (black)
Carded Boba Fett

Just found out today that the shop I ordered my Logray chase from messed up so I'll have to wait and see if they get another one in. :'(

No, tripitaka toys.

So, today is December 1st... and no sign of the TRU box set on eBay yet.
It seems like the box set may have been delayed to December 11th based on some stuff I've read at other Kubrick sites. :-\
Can't wait to get that set and place R5-D4 next to my lil Jawas!
Jeff
-
I just can't wait for it too Jeff. It's going to be a great set for me when I add it next to my Speeder Bike set, in an Oscar case of course! ;D
-
It will be an awesome set, but the little extra time is alright to save up a little extra money.
-
Can someone remind me how much this boxset was going to cost please...? I think it was $35ish, but I may be completely wrong.
I'm seriously contemplating getting two of them, one to open, one to keep boxed - as is my plan with all of this line, where packaging "constraints" (and my OCD) deem that approach to be necessary.
-
I am collecting all the loose Kubricks, no variants. So I have no plans to get any of the carded ones, or to seek out any of the variants.
That being the case, right now I am only really missing the Early Bird figures, and the speeder bike set. I was waiting patiently for the EB figs to drop, but it seems like it won't ever happen...so someday I am just going to have to plunk down the $$$ to get it eventually. And I actually haven't been following prices on the speeder bike set, although it is an eventual goal of mine too.
-
10 min left to the Boba Fett chase auction, its gone too high for me so go after it if you are interested.
-
I read on a website today that the 12 pack will be released on December 12, Sunday week. So I'm making a list, checking it twice and I''m gonna find out who's naughty and nice.....

Hi guys, another Kubrickworld convert checkin' out your world!!! Awesome Series 3 Kubrick archive you put up recently (good work fella). Just curious . . . what 12 pack is 'Hes No Good to Me Dead' talking about? :D
-
Just curious . . . what 12 pack is 'Hes No Good to Me Dead' talking about? :D
Funny, but I've been reading this thread throughout, and I was wondering the exact same thing when Simon said that! So that ain't just a "newbie" question you've got there Andy. ;)
There's obviously no Star Wars Kubrick "12-pack". So he's either referring to our boxset sign up list (maybe there were 12 guys on it), or he meant to type 12-back (which still makes no sense), or he ordered a case of 12 of the new boxsets, or... our Aussie mate has just had one too many Sapparos this evening!
I dunno...
Care to elaborate, Simon?
BTW, welcome to JD Andy! Glad to have you stop on in for a visit. Hope you enjoy yourself. Lookin' forward to chattin' with you about all things Kubrick, or otherwise. 8)

I'm an idiot. 5 pack!! Of course. "12" is the 12th of the 12th. :-\

So any guesses as to what's gonna be in this mysterious new 12-pack?!
Let's see, I want:
1. Vader
2. Yoda
3. Royal Guard
4. ...
Am I on the right track Simon? God, this is just like Christmas...at...Christmas! A brand spankin' new 12-pack from Medicom just outta the blue! Gotta love those guys over there... :P

Get that carded/boxed Kubrick feature going now Dale.

Has anyone else heard the rumblings of a secret Jango Fett 'brick being handed out at a Medicom Party in Japan?
I heard it was limited to 50 pieces, no word on packaging yet. :-\
Jeff
Maybe this is the Secret Jango Fett you were talking about.
(http://img113.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/5/3/7/5/esty30eggs-img600x450-11023205072004_1206yaho40002.jpg)

-
Is that Jango for real? Looks like a painted Boba Kuby but a chase one or a Droids Boba by the looks of the belt. Looking at my Boba, that does look like a repainted Droids Boba, same Gauntlet on the left arm, modified backpack, you can even see where the Wookie scalps have been cut off.
I don't buy it!
-
Its looks good, but i would guess its a custom.

Yeah it's a custom. Something fun to do with a few spare Bobas lying around the house. I'm guessing the guns are from an AOTC's Jango.
-
****. Don't scare us like that Simon! >:( :P
But my prior post still stands, regardless of when it's finally going to need to take effect...
Nice custom though. But you didn't make that though, did you Simon? Looks more like Tony's handywork... ;)
-
I didn't make it. Some guy is selling it on Yahoo! Japan.
You won't collect prequels? I'd like to see ya try to resist. Imagine those great figures like Darth Maul, and....., um..... and um........Jar Jar? OK Medicom doesn't have a great deal to choose from. Gee, I reckon even a Clone Wars set would be more exciting. At leasty those characters have a bit of, well, character.
-
I will not collect Prequel Kubricks. I will not collect Prequel Kubricks. I will not collect Prequel Kubricks.

-
I have to say that I'd be pretty surprised if Medicom didn't try to capitalize on the ROTS madness with a ROTS wave of figures, just to test out how Prequel Kubricks would do. If Medicom gave us a promise in writing that there'd just be one wave for each prequel flick, and NO chases, then I'd probably bite on it.
But there's no way in bloody hell I'm gonna be dropping $75ish on Prequel chase figures. Screw that crap!
-
I Hope they do Prequel Kubricks, but not for a while...I'd rather have some of the OT heavy hitters done first
Darth Vader
Yoda
Emperor
Stormtrooper
Emperor's Royal Guard
Hammerhead
Warlusman
Snaggletoooth
Death Squad Commander
TIE Pilot
Snowtrooper
Lobot
Hoth Han
Hoth Luke
Hoth Leia
Jedi Luke
Slave Leia
Endor Han
Bespin Luke
Bespin Leia
etc
etc
etc
etc
-
Oooh... I wanna play too.
Here's my Kubrick "Most Wanted" list for the next few waves:
Wave 4: Return of the Jedi
1. Darth Vader (3:12) w/Spirit Anakin Chase (1:96)
2. Yoda (3:12) w/Spirit Yoda Chase (1:96)
3. Slave Leia (3:12) w/ Boushh Chase (3:48)
4. The Emperor (1:12)
5. Jedi Luke (1:12)
6. Stormtrooper (1:12)
Wave 5: A New Hope
7. Snaggletooth (3:12) w/Blue Snag Chase (1:96)
8. Luke X-Wing Pilot (3:12) w/Wedge Antilles Chase (1:96)
9. TIE Pilot (3:12) w/DS Trooper Chase (3:48)
10. Walrusman (1:12)
11. Hammerhead (1:12)
12. Grand Moff Tarkin (1:12)
Sweeeeet. ;)
Jeff
-
I want a Kubrick Jabba the Hutt Box Set and a Max Rebo Band Box Set.
-
3. Slave Leia (3:12) w/ Boushh Chase (3:48)
Nice list, I like your ideas for chase figures. If I worked for Medicom and wanted to really create mass hysteria, I'd make Leia Boushh the regular figure and Slave Leia the chase, but at 1:96. Can you imagine what some of us geeks would spend to get it? :P
-
Prequel Kubricks would be cool but lets get the other figures done first. Lets see, what would I like to see done...
Ackbar.
Amanaman.
Biker Scout w/Speeder Bike.
Barada.
Cloud Car Pilot.
EV-9D9.
FX-7.
Gamorrean Guard.
ICMG. ;)
Imperial Gunner.
Leia Boushh Disguise.
Leia Slave Outfit.
Royal Guard.
Snaggletooth Blue Version.
Snowtrooper.
Tie Pilot.
2-1B.
Ugnaught.
Vader.
Yak Face.
Yoda.
Then the Droids cartoon, yeah I know I mentioned them before but I like those figures. :P
Jann Tosh.
Jord Dusat.
Kea Moll.
Kez-Iban.
Sise Fromm .
Thall Joben.
Tig Fromm..
Uncle Gundy.
Vlix. This one would be awesome! 8)
I want a Kubrick Jabba the Hutt Box Set and a Max Rebo Band Box Set.

$350. is the average price I have seen them go for.
-
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.
-
Wow, that is a very nice offer Dale! That is actually the one chase I was really hoping to get. :)
-
Holy smokes, $350 for some black paint and a card :o
-
I'll will get back to ya as soon as the package arrives. :)
-
Holy smokes, $350 for some black paint and a card :o
And the bubble too! :P Don't forget, Sandy was a very limited run like Boba so he can command some good $$$.
-
Holy smokes, $350 for some black paint and a card :o
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. ;)
-
Might just make do with a custom for display purposes :)
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)

Thank you for the effort either way. Always nice to get new Kubricks, so thanks for taking your time to try and help everyone.
Good Luck

Oh my, I just read that one TRU was sold out in 30 mins & they had only 100 sets! :o Apparently there is no limit on how many you can pick up ethier. There starting showing up on eBay anywhere from $90. to $100. :-\
-
Good Luck Simon!
-
Here's the body count.
1 TRU: 0 K's
Gonna try again tomorrow, but the tail is a bit between the legs as there are a hell of alot on Yahoo Japan. I had to work today, but tomorrow I have half a day off, so I'll give it another crack.
Again, sorry in advance if I disappoint anyone.
-
No problem Simon, didn't expect it to be the way I have been reading about them. Makes it tuff. Best of luck trying again. :)
-
I've got 2 TRU's on the shopping list tomorrow, so all I can do is cross the old ticklers and hope for the best.

That is one great kub! I hope I can get one of these. No limit on how many you can sucks! They all end up on eBay and Yahoo Japan. There is quite a few of these I think, and the price on eBay should come down some.
Also, there is an auction up with Droids Boba, R2, and Luke and Holo Leia. BIN is 280 or so, puts them at 70 each. I thought that was pretty good. If I had the $$$ I`d do it I think.

Awesome! . . . I hope Medicom see 'em . . . it might kick 'em up a gear on the next series. A box set of Cantina aliens (or a complete series like the Bounty Hunters Series) would be cool! :)

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).
I thought I was the only one who opened his carded figures.
The only carded ones that interest me are the Boba Fett & Luke due to their obvious nod towards the vintage line.
I customized a White Pauldron Sandtrooper to look like the carded version since there is no way I'll pay more than $100 for a single figure. Carded or otherwise.
-
Was there ever a Production # given on the Box Set? Becuase I'm wondering if they'll keep shipping
Best of luck Simon, I appreciate the effort even if you do get skunked. Its a shame there isn't a limit and most of them are winding up on Yahoo Japan :-X I guess if there was a limit though, we would all be SOL too :-\
-
Yeah I reckon there's a big chance that they'll just keep shipping. I'm not panicing just yet. :-\

Looks like TRU Japan's Website is expecting the FIVE-pack on the 11th of December!
TRU Japan 5-pack listing (http://www.toysrus.co.jp/toys/cat_detail.sp?ITEM_ID=004442&SUB_ITEM_ID=000&TAB_ID=1&CAT_ID=8&TABLE_NAME=TAB_TOP_0105&x=46&y=41)
So judging by that, this boxset costs 3,499 Yen out there, correct? If I run that through Oanda's currency converter (http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic), I come up with a price of only $33.37.
Is that correct?! Seems awfully low to me, though I was expecting something in the $40 range, or thereabouts. I was going to be happy to buy a couple of these for that price (one to open, one to keep boxed), but if that's likely what it's gonna run for one of 'em on eBay (if Simon's luck doesn't get a whole lot better), then I'm cutting back to just one of these things...
Man, the Kubricks are really starting to give me a headache, I tells ya'! :-\
But don't sweat it Simon! I definitely know the feeling of trying to track down some HTF exclusives for friends here, and coming up short. Nuthin' you can do about it, so thanks for trying, buddy! Maybe you'll still get lucky though, who knows... 8)

Welcome to JD Illford_Brimley. Very nice pictures. 8)
I will still say that that R5-D4 is very impressive. R2-Q5 looks sweet too. Very nice to see them loose, Thanks for sharing. :)
-
Awesome pictures, I really enjoy R5 and Paploo
-
Illford_Brimley thanks for the great pictures.
Can you tell us if the package is the same size as the Speederbike set?
I'd like to get an acrylic case for mine from Oscar.
-
Artoo, not sure if they are the same size, as I don't have the Speeder Bike set. But judging from pics I've seen, I think they may be exactly the same size. It has the same design, and the same window... Size looks perfect for one bike, and two kubs.
Peace...
-
Well, I BIN'ed a Toys R Us 5-pack from honorius. I am paying $68 for it, and that is less than some are, so I am cool with it.
-
Very nice Matt, I did the same thing with the same seller on the weekend. Picked up 2 for $60. each. Seems to have alot of them, once the cheaper ones got Bin'd, he bumped the price up abit but still not to shabby. Hell of alot better than what I have seen them go for thus far.
-
Thought I'd get up another photo of the complete collection before Medicom anounces another exclusive or series.
(http://www.ne.jp/asahi/getnood/now/Graphics/jpeg/Kubrick/Star-Wars/swkubcoll.jpg)
And I'd just like to publicly apologise to all the people I was trying to get the set cheaply. I also had to get mine on the after market, and I'm still pretty PO'ed about TRU not limiting the sales. Even if it was just so I could get one at cost. Anyway, better luck next time and I won't be able to make any promises unless they are selling them through the Collectors Club. :-\
-
Very impressive pic! Those individual Kubricks sure look sharp stacked in their cases. So, if I'm seeing things right, that 5-pack from TRU is actually a little longer than the speeder bike set?
-
Yeah it's fractionally longer and abot half as deep. The actualy dimensions are L - 30cm, H - 12cm, D - 5cm. Sorry I have no idea what the imperial measurments are. I'll let the North Americans work that one out.
-
Awesome picture. Yeah it looks a little longer. I notice that the Carbonite Block doesnt fit in one fo those little cases either.
-
I think your right Jesse, that 5 pk does look longer than the Speeder Bike set. Much bigger infact, the height looks higher too.
Based on Simons measurements: L-11.811", H-4.72441", D-1.9685" That right, I used an online conversion? Almost 2 inches seems thin. I have the Speeder Bike set at: L-10 3/4" x H-4" x W-2 3/4". It is bigger.
No worries Simon, no one thought it was going to be hard to get this 5 pk. I'm proud for the help that you have done with the members here & for that we say Thank You. :)
-
NIce pic Simon! Very impressive display. And once again, thanks for the effort in trying to get those 5-packs for people. We all appreciate it.
Matt
-
Man, that's an awesome picture Simon! Love seeing the entire collection together like that... 8)
You going to encase the carded Droids figures too? And what's with that non-SW item up on the top shelf... Is that G.I. Joe, or somethin'? Whatever it is, stick it on another shelf. This is the Star Wars shelf, dammit! :P
Keep it up...

This makes me angry. He may be a good seller, but that is just wrong. >:(
(http://i6.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/0e/fe/a7_1_b.JPG)
-
Who's selling those?
-
I just saw the auction, it's the seller honorius that Matt B. & I got our sets off of.
-
That guys had like 20 of those sets up. And he is selling them at $60-$70 but its still hoarding >:(
Medicom official "Star Wars Kubrick set of 5" sold limitedly in Toysrus. In original box. Never opened. New condition. The set include SPIRIT OF OBI-WAN KENOBI. BESPIN HAN SOLO. PAPLOO. R5-D4 and IMPERIAL R2 UNIT. I have 60 sets right now. Plese email me for multiple orders
::)
If this line turns in to scalp city more than it already can be, I'm not going to bother
-
I wonder if thats the guy who bought all 98 sets at that one TRU.
-
Thats terrible. I really dont know what else to say.
-
Man, I'm having some bad luck with eBay this week! :-\
Just got nailed (ripped off) to the tune of $188 on some WOTC mini cases (which I'm sure I'll get refunded through Paypal).
And now, after sitting idle on the Series 3 Kubricks for so long, I just accidentally won two different auctions for them. Ugh!!! ::)
Has anyone been as lazy as me, and NOT gotten their Series 3 Kubricks yet? I'd be willing to hook you up with the basic 6 figures from that series for $49, shipped (within the U.S.), if anyone's interested. Please LMK! :-*

Well Scott sent me the Han Solo and Greedo as part of his Secret Santa package and I must resist the urge to buy more. So just in case and without having to read through all of the threads, can anyone post a complete list of them?

So for you obsessive compulsive completists, you're currently technically looking at 41 different loose figures (including carded blonde Luke, Indy, and Band Member w/ alternate instruments, among others). I'll be nice and NOT include the Carded Fett, since the figure itself is identical to the regular Vintage Chase figure (and it runs $300+). ;) Also, there's been 9 different bootleg Kubrick sets that have popped up in the past, so if you'd like to take a gander at 8 of them (sans Clonetrooper set), check out stormie's site.

Boy, that was fast! 8)

Thanks Dale. For the Kubrick virgin, what do these usually run? How hard are they to come by? Are some of the earlier sets still easily attainable? Any help would be appreciated.
The wife saw the ones Scott gave me and she thinks they're "neat", so that means I can get more of them, right? ;)
Edited for ****** grammar
-
Wow, I can't believe that pic for honorius. When I emailed him, telling him that I won the auction for a 5-pack, he emailed me back, saying "OK, I can sell you 5 5-packs, for $65 each." I quickly clarified to him that I only wanted one, but it showed me just how many he had in his hands.

Talk to me, I have lots of spares ;D
-
Well, it's started. Was looking around on ebay last night and saw a set of series 3 with the Han chase sealed and with boxes for cheap. Auction ends in a few hours and I just placed a bid for them. So we'll see.
Brent, I'm interested to see what you have.
-
Sorry Mikey, sort of ;) They can be expensive if you start going for all of the chases and REALLY expensive if you want to get carded ones too. But they are very sweet figures.
So, my apologies to your wife :P
-
I don't think I'm going to worry too much about the carded and chases too much. I've been looking through the threads here and perusing ebay and it seems the common pieces are pretty reasonable priced. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Yeah, Logray is a tuff one, more Vinyl Jawa's than him. :-\
Best of luck. :)

Just had a look and the TRU set is indeed longer and much thinner. I will take a few pics later today and post them here if anyone wants.

Cool! I am really excited...mine is on the way.
Question - are people opening up their 5-packs, or leaving them in the box? I saw Simon left his in the box, which does look nice, but I am definitely opening mine to display them with the rest of my loose figs.

I`ll be opening mine for sure!

Mine will stay sealed, I want to display it next to my Speeder Bike set.
-
Mine is sealed
-
Undecided on the five pack. The only thing I have still sealed is the speeder bike two pack, so they might make nice backing pieces for the loose figs. I'll probably open em up, like their supposed to be :P
-
I got a damaged box at a discounted price so I'm opening that one. I also have a mint one that will stay boxed.
I did the same with the Speederbike set. I just need to order some of Oscar's cases for them. :P

Here a few (bad) shots of the Speeder box and the TRU box to see the size diff.

Crap, did you have to ask that and bring it up again, Matt?! >:(
:P
I just don't know what I want to do about that. I still haven't opened my Speeder Bike set, but have every intention of eventually doing so. I swear. Seriously. I think. Well, maybe, maybe not. Not sure at all really...
I'm a packaged and loose collector for the standard Hasbro figures, and various other SW collectibles, but at the smokin' hot prices of these dang Star Wars Kubricks, so far I just haven't had the desire/will/dinero to nab a second set yet, which means I'm too scared to open the ones that I already have. Dammit, I don't want to be like Dale! Really, I don't! :'(
That goes for the carded Kubrick too, or at least the unique ones that haven't otherwise been released prior (Droids figures, Holo Leia). I've been keeping an eye out for damaged ones that I might be able to nab for cheaper and use for my openers, but the only time I ever saw that specified (on a carded Droids R2), the damned thing still went for about $80. Ugh.
I think I'm having deja-vous with this discussion all of the sudden (especially that last paragraph). Daniel, was that you who commented on that same damaged Droids R2 that I had been watching? Can't remember now.
But I think the bottom line is that for now, things will be staying carded and boxed (aside from the regular figures of course), until I figure out what I want to do, or find some cheap openers later on. And with that, here comes my daily migraine (collecting) headache...
God, collecting is hard. :-\
-
Heh...don't stress yourself out too much JediMAC. :)
I just got my 5-pack last night, and opened it right up. I set the figures up with the rest, and they look great. I did keep the packaging in perfect condition, so if I really wanted to, I could box it back up.
I do plan to open the speeder set when I eventually get it too.
So --- only the Speeder Bike set and the Early Bird Kit left on my list! That EB kit is a bitch and a half though. Thing is still in high demand.
Matt
-
I haven't opened my Speeder Set either but I am going to. I also have decided I will open Leia and Droids Fett and R2 when I ever get them
-
Open carded Kubricks! :o (http://www.snowtroopers.ca/forum/YaBBImages/undecided.gif)
-
Why not? FREEDOM!

-
Only if there at a cheaper price! :-\
-
The carded Luke, Droids Boba, Droids R2 & the Holo Leia don't cost any more than the chase figures.
Just close your eyes when you free them from their packaging. ;)
I had my wife open my Luke & Droids R2. I haven't opened my Holo Leia or Droids Boba yet.

Me thinks I need a bigger shelf! ;D
-
Actually I already have a possible deal going for series 1 (minus the Fett chases) and Brent's going to help me out with some series 2 and 3. I've been scouting ebay recently so hopefully I'll get some good deals there. I'll probably pass on the carded ones unless I see a good deal. I do, however want to the the Early Bird set (probably the toughest one to get) and the two box sets.
-
Nice score on the Holo Leia, Fish! $61 shipped is the best price I've seen so far!! 8)

Thanks, I had to sell abunch of stuff to justify spending money on my #1 collectible focus at this time = STAR WARS KUBRICKS ;D.
Simon is hooking me up with a 5 pack at a good price too, thanks Simon. I can't wait to get that in hand.
I am still looking for Indy, Boba Chases, Speeder Bike and Luke (carded). I will pass on the Droids and the astronomically priced carded Fett and Sandtrooper.
This is such a tough collectible as you all know, many sellers are out of the North America and shipping fees are killer, but well worth it!
BTW, nice pic Dale.

:o I'd liek to get that. I guess its not really that bad of a price yet because the Sandtrooper and Boba Fett would probably run somewhere around that. I have all the others though and dont have that kind of money to spend anyway.

Series 3 LOGRAY Kubrick CHASE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5944797415&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT)
Any theories as to why the Jawa (chase) is not fetching this type of change?
On a really good note, after having a running Kubrick Classified (to buy) and never getting any hits, I bought an Indy Chase today for $85 shipped ;D. I feel thrilled about that price.
Now I just need the carded Luke, both Chase Fetts and Speeder Bike Set to get caught up (for me at least) as I am not going after the carded Fett or Sandtrooper.
DBK
-
My theory is just that it's an entirely different character, and not just a slight materials and accessory change, like the Jawa. Also, the chase Jawa seems to have been about twice as abundant on eBay lately as well, but that's really not saying much...
And Matt, remind me, you got both of those for that sweet deal that was discussed in here a couple months ago, right? I remember a lot of folks missed out on that one. I think you scored on it, 'cause you had ordered BOTH of them, rather than just one or the other like most other people did...
-
After watching a lot of auctions, I think Logray may not be 1/96. Not many of him have showed up as the Vinyl Jawa.
$85. for Indy, darn good deal I would say. Last one on eBay fetched $108.50 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=348&item=5944692116&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)
Hmmm, to bad on the Carded Fett. There was one that did go very, very cheap not long ago: BOBA FETT KUBRICK (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=73553&item=6500035953&rd=1)

Pretty scary when $270 is considered "very cheap"... :-\
But regarding the Logray chase, I don't think it's any worse than 1/96. We haven't seen any SW chase figures worse than that ratio, and it seemed from all the case assortment talk that I've seen around the boards, that you'd get either a Vinyl Jawa, or a Logray, if you ordered a master carton (of 4 cases), no matter what.
Did we ever decide if the Jawa/Logray supply was another Hong Kong/Japan distribution thing again, like with the chase Fetts? That seems to be the case, but I'm not positive...
-
I think what hurt the auction is the "NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS". Course the winner is from Canada so maybe there was the ask the seller a pretty please can I bid question... :-\
As for the chase fig's, can't remember off hand Matt. :-\

M,
You are correct - good memory, I believe I got both for about $135 shipped from AHQ my wifes Christmas present to me ;D!
Nice theory, I just think the Jawa is a much neater figure and one of the ultimate tributes to the vintage line.
DSJ,
I too wonder why ebay is getting a 3-1 or 4-1 ratio on selling Jawas and not Logray???

Guess I can delete that auction off my watch list now. ;D

Yeah, I'd seen lots at $70-75 so a bit of a drop like that and I jumped all over it. Should guarantee a future price drop of at least $10 ::)
Now I have to contemplate the loose chase Boba's, Droids Boba and Droids R2. The latter two I'd really, REALLY want to open though :-X
Bastages.

QUESTION: Who's got a regular Carbonite Block Han they want to send to Dave (jokabofe)? I'm sending him a 6-pack, but just discovered that his lucky ass wound up with a chase (Hibernation Sickness) Han, instead of the regular Carbonite slab. So I'll be sending him the chase Han, but that means he'll need the regular one. Who's gonna hook the guy up?! Should probably only cost about $5 for one, with a buck or so on shipping...
P.S. Congrats on the VC Jawa Brent! 8)
-
I'll hook Dave up Matt, I owe him for his help for sending me parcels I have shipped to him. 1 Carbonite Block Han put to the side. ;)
-
On a really good note, after having a running Kubrick Classified (to buy) and never getting any hits, I bought an Indy Chase today for $85 shipped ;D. I feel thrilled about that price.
Now I just need the carded Luke, both Chase Fetts and Speeder Bike Set to get caught up (for me at least) as I am not going after the carded Fett or Sandtrooper.
DBK
Congrats, I need those chase Boba Fett's too.

My theory is just that it's an entirely different character, and not just a slight materials and accessory change, like the Jawa. Also, the chase Jawa seems to have been about twice as abundant on eBay lately as well, but that's really not saying much...
I've been keeping track and from what I've read, the Logray/Jawa are definately about 1/96 each. Neither was shipped more heavily than the other one.
I think I'd agree that the reason that you see more Jawas are the fact that he's a variant, not a new figure. I think more people are willing to part with the chase Jawa (and get some phat cash) because they still have the regular Jawa from Series 3. I don't think as many people part with their Logray because he is a unique figure.
Just my $0.02,
Jeff

Well that makes sense. I was going to say the same thing, but you said it good enough for me.

Congrat's on the Jawa Morgbug. I wish I knew you were willing to spend that much. I could have hooked you up a while back for less than the shipped price on the one you got. I sold it for $58.00 plus shipping on ebay, but was willing to sell it outright within the U.S. for $60 shipped. Still a good price though.
I have yet to get a TRU set. If I can find one for around $60.00 shipped I would quit putting it off. Carded Fett, both chase Fetts, & the TRU set is all I am missing currently, but I think I will be missing the trio of Fett's for a long time to come, as they are not worth the price of admission to me.

Plus this...
Yeah, I'd seen lots at $70-75 so a bit of a drop like that and I jumped all over it. Should guarantee a future price drop of at least $10 ::)
Equals Murphy's Law. I rest my case.
thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. Should have blabbered about my intent in here prior. I'll have to think about what I want to pay for the other stuff I want.
Do want a Droids R2 and Droids Fett to open. Prolly around $60 for the R2 and maybe about the same, little more for Fett. Card condition is obviously less of a big deal to me, so anyone knows anyone that had some stepped on, lmk. ;)

Got a new year present from Ningyoushi.com today

Happy New Year to you too Adam. Congrats on the Logray & at a great price too. 8)

Thanks!
I am all caught up on the ones I want now. I might go for a few of the carded figs if I can get them for the right prices. I would love to have the R2 and Fett.
Also, since they have a 3PO now, I am kinda thinking they will do a droids 3PO since
they already have the fig and all. I WILL open them! I figure, I spent $100 on Indy, 55 on Logray and the carded ones are in the same range, heyna? Also, I really want
the Death Star Escape set that Kamiru put out. I know they are horrible compared to Kubricks, but I like the Luke and Han storms that are in the set.
-
I spent ... 55 on Logray
Damn! Nice deal on that one Adam! I was just about to ask what you snagged it for, and then noticed it in your follow up post there. Nice score!
As for that Death Star Escape set, I need that one too! Haven't even seen one up on eBay in quite a while now. Gotta nab me the old Biker Scout too, to polish off my "Kubrick bootleg" set...

Before I wanted it, I saw a few on eBay, now no one has it. I haven`t notice the
biker set either, I`ll keep an eye out for ya though.
Keep an eye on www.ningyoushi.com , over at the other forum, it`s been said they
update at odd hours, so maybe they`ll be putting more Logray or Jawa up.
Excellent service too, I had it in 2 days!

Is "honorious" the eBay seller that we were bagging on earlier, regarding having too many of the TRU boxsets? 'Cause he's got a few up right now, with this description in his auctions:
Medicom official "Star Wars Kubrick set of 5" sold limitedly in Toysrus. In original box. Never opened. New condition. The set include SPIRIT OF OBI-WAN KENOBI. BESPIN HAN SOLO. PAPLOO. R5-D4 and IMPERIAL R2 UNIT.
I have 60 sets right now.
Plese email me for multiple orders.
Bastard. ::)

Simon, if you're not too dinged up from your snowboarding trip, perhaps you could track this bastard down, and kick his ass on all of our behalves. Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks!
Still several Vinyl Jawas up on eBay, getting little interest, at around $65 - $70. Meanwhile, the one Logray up there has 25 bids on it, sitting at $71 with a day and a half to go. So even if they're equally distributed at 1:96 (as we're generally assuming they are), the Logray chase is by far the more popular of the two... Gonna be a bitch trying to nab that one!

No accounting for taste or logic is there? I'd pay the $55 for the little fuzball, but no more than that.

HOLY $*(#!!
I think a few more might show on eBay since Ningyoushi sold some for $55.00 and sold out very quickly. I would hope they all went to collectors, but that is rarely the case.
-
Holy ****! $158?!? That's totally insane... :o
That really is crazy. If that is a sign of things to come for collecting these little guys, we are in big trouble.
-
$200 for a set of 9 is a masterstroke methinks, I can't believe this. We're partly to blame here being the home SW Kubrickia :-\
-
$158 for Logray = no Logray for me... :'(
Wish I could have gotten in on the $55 one from Ningyoushi. :(
Jeff
-
The discrepancy between the Vinyl Jawa and the Logray is still perplexing. The supply definitely doesn't favor Logray so far (relative to the Jawa), but the demand for him is far greater than the Jawa, which sometimes doesn't even get bids on it at $60. Weird. Really weird...
Please give us a shout here if Ningyoushi gets any more "cheap" Lograys in! Is their site in English too? Can't recall now...
-
Ningyoushi is based out of San Fran ;)
-
I knew that! :-[
If they've got an actual store up there, it's quite possible I've actually been to it. I've popped into a few Japanese collectibles stores up there when I'm in town.
-

I think that's actually a fair price. It indeed looks like a masterstroke, I won't argue that point. But I do think the Logray is grossly overpriced to the point of absurdity right now. Both are supposedly 1/96, so someone's hogging a whole pile of them or they are yet to come out. I recall someone's point (Matt?) regarding the Jawa being sort of a variant of a reg, but uh, isn't that the same of the Boba chase figures? Weren't the ratios roughly the same anyway? People still wanted chase Boba's.
Frankly I think it's all those damn Bearbrick collectors driving the price up. I can and will live without that piece until it falls to the same price I paid for the Jawa (or less!).

Just got back from the snow. man if you've never been snowboarding (or heaven forbid, skiing) in Japan, you gotta get out here. What an amazing place.
I know this seller very well. He spends BIG bucks on these. I saw him buy 100 sets on Yahoo! Japan in about 2 days when they were relased, so I don't think he has one of those who stripped the selves clean at TRU. He's a bit further down the food chain, like me.

Why spend that much when you can get a graded Boba Fett AFA 85 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5947581614&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V) for less! (http://www.cheesebuerger.net/images/smilie/frech/p015.gif) (http://www.cheesebuerger.net/images/smilie/frech/d040.gif)

Now thats a good deal! ;)
How much more do you think the AFA grade should really mean?
I figure 500 tops and thats still insane to me
-
I personally dont like the grading thing. I wouldnt pay extra for a figure because it was graded. So for me, honestly i would pay less. But since it seems to be the craze now, i guess 500.00 would be more "appropriate" for the Boba Fett.
-

-
Well, I sprung for the Speeder Bike Set (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5946267811&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT).
$70 + $7 shipping, because its in the US. Not bad, and the cheapest I have seen around in a looong time.
So, now all I would like for my collection is the Early Bird Set. Those are still really hard to find, and pricey when they are around. If anyone spots one for a reasonable price, let me know please! :)
Matt
-
Very nice Matt, the Speeders have been up in price. Early Bird sets have been going for $130. to $140. Best I saw awhile back was $115. Just gotta keep looking. :)

I got mine for 115 from a US seller. I think Lupin3 or something like that. He has stuff up once in awhile at very good prices.
-

Congrats Matt. One step closer!
But I still just don't "get" those Speeder Bike sets... It seems like there's lots of them available still, but very few are actually selling 'cause for whatever reason, ALL the Kubrick sellers seem to absolutely refuse to come down in price on that piece, and they're all at very high opening bids or BINs. I remember several months ago when the market seemed to be flooded with them at $55 BINs, but NOBODY was buying them. That means the prices should go DOWN, not UP... Totally bizarre.
And I've been contemplating get a second set for myself (to open/keep boxed - whichever). Annoying!
But those Early Bird sets are an entirely different beast. They ALWAYS go $115+, and always have a LOT of bids. Those have been on fire ever since they were released, and I don't see those going down at all. In fact, I'm rather surprised to see how steady they've held around the $125 mark. I would've expected those things to have gone up a bit by now...
On an entirely separate note, I was wondering this the other day when perusing the Kubrick auctions for the Series 3 chase figures (Jawa and Logray):
Do any of you actually open up each and every Jawa auction just on the off chance it might be a vinyl one and the seller may not know it (or be mentioning it). LOTS of Jawa auctions out there, and the Vinyl difference may potentially go unnoticed by a complete Kubrick novice, though I'd guess that would be an extremely rare occurence. Anyway, I never bother to specifically check each individual Jawa, but I was curious to know if anyone else was that diligent/crazy... :P
-

Anyway, I never bother to specifically check each individual Jawa, but I was curious to know if anyone else was that diligent/crazy... :P
Since I don't need the Jawa, no I don't. :P I suppose it could happen, although one of those "Kubrick-resellers" who buy low and sell high would probably catch it and bid it up before it ended...
On the Speederbike sets, it really is amazing to me. I've watched 1-2 sellers relist their Speederbike set every week at $84.99 and $74.99. Each week they go unsold and each week they re-list it. I kept waiting and waiting for the price to drop, but it never does.
On the Early Bird set, I've been really jonesing for this one, but they always seem to end up in the $135-$150 range plus another $10-15 for shipping. That is just too much for my blood for 4 little figures. Somewhere in the $100-120 range shipped would be just right though... :)
Jeff
-
My biggest concern in hunting for the Jawa like Matt mentioned is a "clever" seller that takes a pic of a vinyl Jawa and "pretends" not to realize it, intent on selling a regular Jawa with "the wrong" picture.
Ya think chasing vintage stuff has made me paranoid? Much?
-
I kinda miss these now lol I'll get over it though ;) Perhaps if I win the lottery, I'll pick them up again lol
-
G'Day Adam. Long time no post. I thought you might miss these. The best parts of your former collection are sitting nice and snug on my shelf. ;D
-
Well I'm glad they found a good home at least! :)
I do miss em a bit, but I absolutely despise the near human sized ewoks. And being the completist that I am, means I wont be getting them, or any others lol
Anxious to see what else is on the way though

Early Bird set. This is the guy I got mine from. Great seller, fast shipping, good to deal with. He is in the US also, so lower shipping.
-
That's a pretty nice price :)

Not too bad. They seem to be heading up lately.
I paid 115 plus 6 shipping when I got mine months ago, I love this set!

Yeah, I saw his auctions on the 5 pack and Speederbike set. And now the Early Bird set. All great prices. Time to sweet talk the wifey. I might jump on all three.

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

Thanks for the head's up on that first seller there, Adam! Looks like someone just nabbed that seller's carded Droids Fett for a paltry $65, plus $6 shipping! That's exactly the kinda deal I've been patiently waiting for... 8)
And Mikey, don't you have a new baby on the way...?! Shouldn't you be saving all your money for diapers and formula, and things of that nature?! :P
BTW, I don't see a Speederbike auction, current or completed, for that seller. Where is it, and what's it listed at?

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...

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.

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.

Those pictures do look like i have seen them before.

borrowed stole the pictures too.

rupinthe3 now has a Carded Kubrick Sandtrooper PARCO (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5950164655&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) up for grabs.
-
$302? Forget that.
Indy up too, for $92.
Where'd those sexy low BIN's go?! :P
Looks like he's liquidating an entire collection actually...

Ya gotta have it
Alice Matt! :-*

Well, if 3/4 of the items I listed in an afternoon sold within 30-45minutes of their posting, I'd probably raise my prices too... :P

Just wanted to say that DSJ rocks! He hooked me up with a Han Carbonation Sickness, so it has arrived and been added to my collection.
Thanks again Dale!

I was waiting for that and Boba Fett hoping he woul dhave them "cheap". Oh well thats still expensive for me right now.
-
****. I've just ventured down the dark path of carded and loose with these Kubricks. I've long feared that's where I'd eventually be headed, but still had yet to act on it until I nabbed an "opener" Droids R2 on a damaged card for $25 today - to go with the MOMC one that I've already got. Crap. I hate it when I do that! >:(
So if anyone's got a damaged card on the Holo Leia and/or Droids Fett, please give me a shout if you wanna sell either for cheap.
Also looking for another Chase Sandtrooper now, I guess, to customize into the Black Pauldroned one that I will NEVER get an opener of (a carded one's gonna be hard/expensive enough)! That is the exact same Sandtrooper, right?
Gonna have to find an opener Speeder Bike set and TRU 5-pack now too... :'(
Dumbass. ::)

Dumbass. ::)
Indeed! :P

Got my complete set of series 1 from James last night. Awesome figures and for a great price ($60 shipped). Most of my other stuff is still packed away but the BHs and the Han, Greedo and Kermit Scott sent me are my entertainment center, proudly displayed. Soon the rest of series 2, Lando and the 5 pack will be added.
I'm kicking myself for not buying that early bird set yesterday. Hopefully, another "cheap" one comes up soon. I also noticed his Indy sold. The wife has no problem with $130 for four figures, but she thinks $92 for one is a little extreme. I told her she's lucky I don't collect vintage stuff.

Tell her about the MGS Kubrick that sells for about 800 bucks. Indy will seem cheap ;D

Dang, where'd you find that and if you see another at that price, grab it for me. :o
-
Congrats Mikey! Welcome to the club. You're in deep **** now, as I'm sure you've already figured out... ;) But if you're not a psycho-completist wackjob like some of us, this line isn't too bad as you can generally nab each new series for $10 or less per figure (like the BH series you just got). But if you start getting into the Chase and carded pieces, that's where the trouble starts... :P
Dang, where'd you find that and if you see another at that price, grab it for me. :o
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you...
Nah, a fella contacted me about it since he knew I was in the market for one. He only had the one though. But now that I've got mine, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for another for ya', Brent!

Seller Vinylab just put a bunch up, including Logray and VC Jawa.
Also series 3 set for 45$ BIN

He is a good guy also. I picked up my Indy from him, very fast shipping and
good packing.

It will be interesting to see what this Logray goes for, that last one was insane! $157.75 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=751&item=5947046935&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) :o

VC Jawa (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5950693097&rd=1)
Pretty good BIN, in United States.

Ah yes, oddice. He's from another Kubrick board, seems to be a nice fellow.
-
Logray is nuts right now. Holy shazbot!

You know you'll end up with him eventually, so just buy him already!

Yeah, ok, what the hell. Never mind the real vinyl cape Jawa, I'll just buy this Logray, whatever the price. :) $300 cover it?

Logray seems to have cooled off after the initial bidding... now hanging at $64. Up to $61 after the first day, but only went up $3 in the last 2 days. Wonder where he'll finish up... :-\
The Jawa Chase seems to have jumped too, he's up to $50 after only 3 days of bidding.
-
I expect more bidding as the auction comes to a close, the last few seconds are when bidders come in. I'll take a stab at $135. If it goes for more than $158, I'll poop my pants!
-
Received my 5 Pack and Holo Leia (thanks Simon!), got an R2 for $47 (its an opener, sounds like I overpaid though if Colman is getting $25 ones) and that leaves Droids Fett as the only SW Kubrick left I need to get
I've decided I don't need to plop the $150 on 2 paint variant Fetts or the $700 on carded Sandtrooper or Fett.
Almost there :)
-
Nice Scott, too bad your not going to chase the others down. :-\
This was a good price awhile back Tomy Star Wars Boba Fett Card (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5948900980&rd=1)

Yeah, that's part of why I was so surprised at how fast it climbed right off the bat. I've seen stuff shoot up at the end of an auction, but who are these people who bid themselves out of the race on the first day?!?
Eh, I hope he comes down in price. Once I nab him, I can start setting aside pennies for the unique carded figures (Holo Leia, Droids R2, Droids Fett). The rest of the carded (Blonde Hair Luke, Million Dollar Fett, and Million Dollar Sandtrooper) I can do without.... for now. :-\
Jeff

Simon too Scott. ;)
-
Only guys like Dale and Daddy Warbucks will ever have complete Kubrick collections
I will someday too! But patience will find me some better deals than Dale Warbucks usually gets... ;)
So I got my carded Droids Fett and Holo Leia yesterday (both of 'em nice and mint), along with my Droids R2 on damaged card. Took me a while to even find the damage on that thing. It's just a little "scrunchy" spot on the top and left side of the bubble, which doesn't even affect the look of the bubble from straight on. Almost too nice to even uncard, but I'm sure I still will...
Scott, you paid $47 for an opener R2? Sheesh! This seller offered me this one at $30, and I countered at $25 to which he agreed. Might've been able to get it even cheaper if I had tried... Not looking forward to getting openers of the rest of these guys, that's for sure! :'(

Different Logray auction just ended.
Kubrick S3 Secret Logray Ewok (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5949911921&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT)
He's still up there!
-
Sweet!
The following should shipped out to me by this weekend:
Early Bird Set
Speeder Bike Set
2004 TRU 5-pack
(yeah, I blew all my Christmas cash as well as the B-Day cash too) :) 8)
Let's see... I'm definately gonna open the Early Bird Set to display Luke/Leia/Chewie/R2 with the rest (they are gonna look soooo sweet with Han/Ben/3PO). In fact, I've already got some space set aside for them in the new Kubrick Case I've got set-up.
I'm not quite sure if I will open up either of the box sets right away, I may just enjoy them in their pretty boxes for a while until I work up the nerve to open them!
Now I just need Logray to "complete" my collection. I decided to skip the Chase Fetts from Series 1 (for now) and the carded 'bricks can wait for a price drop too...

I just scored one for $61 shipped last week. Must be noobs. There are plenty on ebay with BIN around $65 - $75 plus shipping.
-
Now I really don't understand. The winner has over 700 feedbacks. Clearly not a noob. ??? ???
-
Say what? $112.50. Holy sheep ****! ??? ???
Yeah, theres a few out there in that $65. to $75. range. One just ended a few hours after with a bin of $52.99.
I don't get it ethier! ???
-
I recently received my TRU set. Paid $57.99, but was gouged on the shipping cost. I paid $33.00 for registered airmail for the TRU set and a 400% Be@rbrick. The actual shipping cost was 116.10 HKD, less than $15.00 USD. >:(
-
I like Kubricks less and less when the speculators and dealers are driving prices up :'(
-
In a way this really sucks, I mean the next wave of figures will be even worse. It really doesn't make sense since there are cheaper buy-it-nows. ::)
-
I see a distinct parallel between Kubrick's and McFarlane SportsPicks. Early series hot, no one buying them, they hold value well. Later series have lots of collectors complete with a bevy of scalpers joining in. Prices go up, frustration goes up, line becomes less popular with true collectors. Artefact of being popular?
Toyz is frustrating, particularly in a bit of a down time like this.
-
Does anyone know the history behind this DARTH MAUL like Kubrick figure (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48972&item=5950375937&rd=1) on eBay? Is it just a single custom, or is it an unlicensed product from somewhere. I just thought it looked unique.

Looks like some great (surprise?) news for you Kubrickoholics...check out this news (http://www.galactichunter.com/absolutenm/templates/full_article_template_1.asp?articleid=3859&zoneid=2), if you haven't already. Really wish I had the money to collect these, they continue to be quite cool 8). This was a bit of a surprise, wasn't it? I didn't see it mentioned previously anyways.

Holy God! :o
Yeah, that one was definitely outta left field, Brian! Damn, our Kubrick scoops around here are losing their touch... ::)
2,005 sets available, similar to the usual carded Kubricks. Damn. 6,090 Yen = approximately $59.00 (right now). Oy.
They look fantastic though! 8)
-
To be honest, I wish they hadn't thrown Doda in there with the original 3 band members. I'd prefer either the complete band from the original ROTJ, or the complete band (or at least the same as the Hasbro 6) from the S.E.
Having the 3 originals with just one new band member is kinda lame. Should've just been the original 3, which would've been yet another impressive nod to the vintage era by Medicom.
Regardless, very cool. It's also very nice to get some more new Kubrick news so soon after Series 3. They wouldn't possibly be showcasing any other new Kubricks at this show, would they? Like Series 4? I'm deathly afraid that our first (official) Prequel Kubricks will be forthcoming very shortly here. I'd be surprised if Medicom didn't hop on the ROTS bandwagon like everyone else.
Wait, hang on just a second. I'll betcha a million freakin' dollars that's why the held back on the Vader Kubrick... to stick it into the first ROTS set to be assured of bringing in all the OT collectors. Yoda too. Yep. You know it, and you heard it right here first! :-*
-
Maybe there will be Series 4 news on Sunday (Medicom updates on the 24th each month which is the 23rd here)
Cool set, I'll take one :)

Is there an echo in here? Nevermind. I thought you meant at that show... :P
My guess:
Series 4 - ROTS:
1. Darth Vader
2. Yoda
3. Emperor
4. ______
5. ______
6. ______
No doubt about it, in my mind...
-
Well...I could see them doing it at the show too, we'll see some new Kubs on Sunday is all I was saying, perhaps it will be Series 4. When was 3 announced?
Series 4 Guess:
Darth Vader
Lobot
Stormtrooper
Han Solo (Hoth)
Hammerhead
Emperor Royal Guard
-
Lobot??? Somebody has possessed Scott. Seriously.
I'm in for a set too, but I agree with Matt on this one, Doda shouldn't be in there.
-
Lobot??? Somebody has possessed Scott. Seriously.
My guess: V_r_x :P
-
Wow!
Figures that I just get my hands on the other box sets and they go ahead and get something new to tempt me!
As for Series 4 guesses...
Here's my Kubrick "Most Wanted" list for the next few waves:
Wave 4: Return of the Jedi
1. Darth Vader (3:12) w/Spirit Anakin Chase (1:96)
2. Yoda (3:12) w/Spirit Yoda Chase (1:96)
3. Slave Leia (3:12) w/ Boushh Chase (3:48)
4. The Emperor (1:12)
5. Jedi Luke (1:12)
6. Stormtrooper (1:12)
Wave 5: A New Hope
7. Snaggletooth (3:12) w/Blue Snag Chase (1:96)
8. Luke X-Wing Pilot (3:12) w/Wedge Antilles Chase (1:96)
9. TIE Pilot (3:12) w/DS Trooper Chase (3:48)
10. Walrusman (1:12)
11. Hammerhead (1:12)
12. Grand Moff Tarkin (1:12)
Here are my guesses on Series 4 (and 5) from a while back... This is still the line-up I'd love to see in Series 4! :)

I figure it will be at least 100$ though, right? Even more at first. :(
This one`s gonna be hot!

I gotta have that set. This is the best set in the past 12 months at least IMO.
If there is a sign up list for this one... please put me on it.

(http://www.cheesebuerger.net/images/smilie/konfus/c030.gif)
Sweet. Gotta have this set, I guessing it's in a window box. See thay made use of Greedo making him into Doda, another rehash. :-\
$59.00 so yeah around the $100. mark it should go for, lots being released so it should not be hard to get.
Still I like this set, I'm in for one. :)
-
The colors are amazing in this set. I agree with Dan. This is the best one yet.
Limited to 2005 this time. Looks like 500 will be sold at a show and 1505 over then net. Actually, I haven't lost faith in the Medicom Collectors Club and i did manage to score a Leia in the lottery last time. It should get delivered here next month.
-
Simon, is your Leia from the original 500? Or the latter 1,504 group? Has that 1,504 come out yet? I was thinking not quite the case yet. I'm just curious to see how much the price on her drops when the supply suddenly quadruples... I'd like to nab a cheap opener of her eventually, preferably for around the $25 that I got the R2 at...
Looks like that TRU boxset is unfortunately, and inexplicably, going in the other direction through. Gonna make it tough for openers on that one! Argh.
No sign-up list like last time either, folks. This is a longshot lottery for this set, so Simon will be lucky enough just to land one set for himself. Everyone for themselves this time, and may the best man/eBayer win (after Dale, of course). Go me! :P

Yeah, I thought the same thing Jesse. As far as I know, Doda was inserted into the Special Edition, and wasn't in the original. Why they would throw him in to this box set, but leave the other S.E. band members out, is beyond me. They should have made it either the original 3, or all 6. But instead they make 4? Unless they just really wanted to re-use the Greedo head/body, maybe they had a whole lot of extra Greedo figures made up that they didn't sell?
-

Nope, they didn't use any extra Greedo's that didn't sell. They used part of the existing molds for it just like the others. Someone in Medicom knows there SW stuff to make these figures.

That would be sweet if they packaged it like the vintage box. Just put the Greedo in the lower left corner!
I love these things but they hurt my wallet so bad.
-
I would love to see them use the vintage style box. That would be awesome. I also hope to see the res tof the band as well as Yarna Da'l Gargan! If i cant get the figure from Hasbro, then maybe Medicom will come through.

Awesome looking set; Doda is kind of unnecessary though
-
This is good news for Series 4. It will definitely be Jabba's Palace figs. Think: 2004- Speeder Bike set in Winter and Series 3 Ewoks following. Why would they make the Max Rebo band with nothing to follow? Makes sense, right?

Well I think its because Logray is a "new" character while the Jawa is just a little different. Its the same thing with the CHase Boba Fett's, if i dont get them no big deal. I guess people just rather dish out the money for a new figure and not a resculpt. (I do have the chase Jawa, I love the whole vinyl cape vintage nod) :)

Yeah, that would just be way too cool if they did that - assuming they hid the dumb Doda figure in the lower left corner. Still wish they hadn't included him. (and yes, he was only inserted into the S.E., and not in the original) But damn, if they put that thing in a pretty window box... :'(

I totally agree with you JediMAC. Doda seems kinda out of place considering the sole focus of Kubrick on the original trilogy, and all of their cool nods to the vintage line.
Looks like a sweet set either way though! :) I sure hope I can score one for a decent price. Sheesh. Just when I thought I was catching up...
-
I wonder why they chose Doda. There are a number of other band members they could have chosen. I guess they are trying to make the most out of the Greedo mold from Series 2.

I think that makes the most sense. It also gives me hope that they will make the rest of them though. I really want a Yarna Da'l Gargan! ;D

Yarna would rock as a Kuby. 8)

The following should shipped out to me by this weekend:
Early Bird Set
Speeder Bike Set
2004 TRU 5-pack
Picked these up at the Post Office this morning before work!
Sweet figures, I am loving the Speeder Bike set and the Early Bird set totally rocks. I haven't had a chance to do much with them besides a quick once-over in the parking lot a few minutes before heading into work, but when I get home from the MN SW Club meeting tonight, I'll try to crack them open and get some new pictures of my Kubrick shelf/display.
Glad to finally have these in my collection! Now on to Logray and the carded 'bricks! :)

Nice stuff Jeff, your moving on up. :)
Strange, just checked out HLJ and they have Series 3 Kuby's instock. Kubrick Star Wars #3: 1 Box 12pcs (http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?MEDKUB-170A)
-
I'm down to needing a Droids Fett opener. Still haven't cracked open my Speeder Bike or my Leia and R2 yet but I will...soon :P
Since we remodeled I had to put my display cases up in our den, I cleaned out all of the Mini-Mates and its full of Kubricks with a little room to spare for some more (but not much more :P)
I too, will try and get some pics
-
I need openers of the following:
Leia holo
Droids R2
Droids Fett
Fett variants from series 1
That would bring me up to speed. Carded smarded :-*
-
I know this is a long shot but does anyone have an extra C-3PO, AT-AT Driver and Sickness Han? These are the last three I need to complete my basic collection (once Brent's package arrives).
-
Well I need the 2 loose chase fetts and the black sandtrooper ::) and then i will be up to speed.
-
need a Japanese Boba chase
-
Got my TRU 5 pack yesterday. Inching ever so closer.
-
BBTS has a 20% off sale on orders over $50 right now
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/toystan.asp?Queryid=sw314
That means a case of Series 3 Kubricks is $85 shipped in the US
-
Rather have a sale on carded Kuby's. ;)

Sure hope this is not a sign of things to come! :o

That sucks, I think thats too high.
-
I would say the price should be near that of the 5 pack. Unbelievable ::)
-
Including the shipping cost, that would be around $53.75 per figure! It better be delivered by a hooker!
-
Ya' know, the more I think about this set, the more nervous I'm getting. I think that eBay price may not be too far off the mark. Still higher probably, but these are gonna be at least equivalent to the Early Bird sets, if not a little more.
Think about it. The other pieces that have been released in the 2,004 quantity (Droids R2, Fett, Holo Leia) all go for about $60-$75ish, and are only rehashed/remolded figures, that are also for the most part "EU".
Now take that same low quantity of only 2,005, and apply that to a set of 4 figures, 3 of which are ALL NEW and VERY COOL must have figures, and that sets the tone for some serious demand. Basically, EVERYONE will want this set, whereas not everyone is interested in getting the various carded Kubrick figures. So we'll be dealing with the same supply, but a much greater increase in demand.
Basically, we're all gonna be in some deep **** here with the Rebo Band. So get your Paypal accounts ready, and every man for himself! Just don't get in my way, or [Drago]I will break you...[Drago/] :-*
(except Dale, of course)
-
I`m getting worried over the price of this set too.
I have to dig up some stuff to eBay and get some $$$ ready to go!
It is a sweet set though... :D
-

Now thats a Kubrick delivery with a smile ;D

Well, I had a little time tonight, so I decided to open up the EB Set and the TRU 5-pack (the Speeder Bike set is staying boxed for now).
I got them all put in place in my Kubrick display case and I took a few new pictures of my Kubrick set-up. Enjoy the pictures...

Nice! Are those the Johnny Lightning Cases? I have 6 of them as well and I'm waiting to use them for overflow when my case if full...speaking of which I should take a pic of my collecting too
-
Nice pix Jeff!
Yeah, I'd very much like to know what types of cases those are as well, especially since IG-88 can actually stand up in those! Give me details, like where you found them, how much, etc. They don't look like they're individual pieces. Do they come in sixes?

I believe I have the same interlocking cases as you Jeff, they are made by Johnny Lightning for Hot Wheels. My MaK Kubs are on top in one of those cases. :)
-
Jeff: Very cool, I like those display boxes! I have to get that batman set one of these days, looking for a good price!
Scott:
Wow, that looks awesome! I need to grab the BH figs too! I have Spidey, Doom and Storm coming from Marvel then I will only be missing What If Venom/Punisher and Spider-Ham (both big $$$ :-[ )
-
I don't have the Venom/Punisher, Spider-Ham or the Doppleganger but I don't really want them either
Can't wait for Series 4 Marvel, Toy Story Box Set B and the X-Men 5 Pack
I should be set then until something else new comes along, which by the looks of it won't be until next summer :)
Disney 7 sort of dissapointed, as of now I think all I'll get is James, VINCENT and Peter Pan
-
Nice pics guys!
-
It looks like this (http://www.verycoolthings.com/vct/Neo_getpage.cgi?page=itemtoy.html&itemID=13067&cool=) is the case Jeff uses. Correct?
On backorder, but might make a trip to Michael's or AC Moore after work to see if they have something similar. Need some box frames for my Boston teams Sports Illustrateds anyway.

Yes indeed! The Johhny Lightnig Interlocking Showcase. Each case has 6 spaces and they can interlock to form different arrangements. While doing my research, I came across many places that sold them:
$5.99 at TRU
$6.99 - $7.99 at "Collector" Shops (Hub Hobby, Model Shops, etc).
$7.99 at Target (costs more because the Target version comes with an exclusive JL car).
They are always in the JL section of the store, but I haven't seen them at Target since Christmas. I have seen them restocked at TRU recently though. I did some checking at JoAnn and Michaels craft stores, but never really found any case that worked for the space I had.
I actually got mine by ordering a few from a local hot wheels dealer guy (4 cases for $20), then managed to snag a three more after Christmas at Target (only $3.84 on Clearance). Each of the Target cases actually came with a Johhny Lightning car, but I just gave the 3 cars away to the nephews. They don't care that they are "fine die-cast replicas" just that they are cars.
The only Kubrick I have that didn't quite fit was the Carbonite block, as you can see in the picture, it is kind of tilted to get it to fit in the space. Otherwise, everyone else (Astromechs,/IG-88) fit nicely. :)
Jeff

I'll be talking to a hobby distributor here in the city, there site shows them having these JL display cases. My brother used to work for them and as far as I know I still get staff prices. ;D

I got the 6 arm Spidey for a good deal ( I think anyway). 30 or 40, and it came with 5 others from series 3. I then traded the other 5 for 5 from the 1st series.
After Max Rebo, the BH figs are next on my hit list.
-
Okee Dokee...here is my stuff updated as of tonight with nothing not displayed :)
Very nice. I like the bigger case you've got Scott, but ultimately decided on the JL cases because of the space I had to fill. The 7 JL cases fit perfectly on top of my large shelf allowing me to fill a previously dead space. Eventually, my Bat-bricks will be chased out as more SW Kubricks are released, so I'll have to buy a few more cases for them and the other bricks I don't have on display (Back to Future, Muppets, Sesame Street).
Looking at your cases reminds me that my work isn't done yet... :-\
Still have to nab Logray, Beaker (chase), Sesame Street S2 (Bert, Oscar, Elmo, Herry), and Japan Batman and Robin (I bought the USA box set cheap on eBay, but I'd still like the Japan Batman and Robin because they are different). Eh, something to spend the $$ on between now and April I guess. :P
Jeff
-
They are always in the JL section of the store...
Color me ingnorant, but what section would that be? I don't even know what Johnny Lightning is... Is it basically in the Hot Wheels/toy cars section? I'll have to zip around on the way home tonight and check some of those out. They look perfect! Thanks for the scoop Jeff.

Johnny Lightning are diecast cars like Hot Wheels so I guess that would be the section.

Besides, I can't remember **** that happened last month, let alone last year. I'm 34 years old, for cryin' out loud. Sheesh.
You just wait. You'll see... :-\
-
So, wait a second. What'd you do with your JL cases, Scott? Looks like you've ditched them in favor of that larger one...
If they're sitting around collecting dust, never to be used again, I may be interested in buying 'em off ya'. Maybe.
-
Thanks for reading my posts, Durge
Nice! Are those the Johnny Lightning Cases? I have 6 of them as well and I'm waiting to use them for overflow when my case if full...speaking of which I should take a pic of my collecting too
I was going to hang them on the sides or put them on top (like the MaK ones are in right now) I just have a little bit of room left in the big one...
-
I picked up the only 2 JL cases a TRU had today during lunch. Thanks Jeff for the idea, I think I know the perfect spot to hang them.

What's sad, is that his $895 asking price is actually right around market value for the 6 of these combined.
What's funny, is that when I opened this thread, it reminded me that I had my first Kubrick dream last night... I was looking through a box full of Kubricks, and there were like 10 Jawas in there, half of which were plastic, half vinyl caped. It seemed to me in the dream that I could just help myself to them if I wanted, but the problem was, I couldn't remember which was the chase Jawa was that I didn't have yet. It was very frustrating, and I think I wound up leaving with nothing. So I guess you could say it was more like a nightmare, really... :P
-
$895... that's a lot of blood I'd have to sell...
Must not bid...

Must not bid... :-\

I don't need to bid. :P

-
What's up with the Black Pauldron Sandtrooper? Did you open a carded one or something?
He just customized one of the other Sandtroopers Simon. But I think he customized the wrong one. Isn't the carded (black) Sandtrooper the same as the chase (white) one? I thought that was the case, and that it wasn't the regular orange guy...
Dale, care to confirm?
-
I'll work a little magic here. ;)
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.
-
Thanks for the compliments guys, and yes they are just cd cases.
I knew that I needed to cutomize a white sandtrooper but got sick and tired of chasing auctions and found a regular sandtrooper at a local toy shop that had to do ;D!

There is an Indy ending soon.
High priced though, 154 starting bid. Maybe someone can`t watch it end with no bids and make a deal with the seller.

Geesh! He wants $154. opener for Indy or Bin it for $155. Guess Indy has gone up in price, thats a good buy compared to this last auction:

Well, I suppose it's slightly possible that the dude's still legit, and has just been building up his feedback so he can actually start selling stuff on eBay. Maybe he's been stockpiling all that crap (check his other auctions) with the intention of becoming a bigtime seller, but felt he needed to get his feedback up to a reasonable level before he started selling. I'm just thinking that 'cause, aside from the Kubricks, he doesn't have too much high end stuff really.
Guess we'll find out in a couple weeks when the winners of his current auctions start leaving some type of feedback for him.
Granted, it's still entirely bogus how he built his feedback up in the first place, but technically, I doubt it was against eBay's rules or anything like that...

Yee haw! I finally bagged an Early Bird set. And for a pretty decent price.

As I see it, remember Stetsonlab aka Decadetoys aka pokeroom aka onetofivedayauctions aka Shaun in the RS vinty section. He did the same thing with the name onetofivedayauctions (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1045104&page=5&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#1045104), buying **** to buildt up a feedback then starting to sell stuff.

Holy crap Matt! Nice score there. That's the cheapest I've seen one of those go for since they were originally released. Gonna be some jealous fellas around here after you nabbed that sweet deal! Hopefully he doesn't gouge you on the shipping costs. I wonder why that one slipped down a good $30 off the usual going price... I doubt it could just be because he's a relatively new seller with one negative and in Canada.
Regardless, that's great. Congrats. So, you all complete now?

Thanks you guys. My max bid was $126...I was really surprised it went for so low.
Yep, I may get nailed on the shipping cost. But the guy has good feedback, so I'm hoping it won't be so bad. Either way, it will be cheaper than what they have been going for lately I hope.
JediMAC - yep, thats it for now! Unless I delve into the carded, and until the Rebo set comes out, I am in the clear! ;)

Very nice! Looks like I'll have to save up the pennies again for this one.
I like the idea of more of these sets, but with the cost being so high I guess I'd rather they kept doing carded re-paints of existing figures for the exclusives so that I could still ignore them as that is much easier on the wallet... :-\

I'd suggest you reign in that OCD there fella. Not many of these pieces have gone up in the long term, aside from the early bird set perhaps. Everything else has fallen in time. I'm taking the official anti-JD approach to these. I'll buy them in April :P

Spanky has the Max Rebo set for 10,800 yen. Very tempting, but I really want to get this set for as close to $100 shipped as possible. :-\
-
I reckon this is going to be hard to find for under $100 without shipping. The carded Kubs cost about $30 delivered for the collectors club and are going for around $50-75 now. The odd one a bit lower than that.
The Max Rebo set is going to cost around $75 delivered from the collectors club. I think therefore, most people won't sell them for under $100. So I think $100-110 plus shipping is what they will come down to. But I think $29 sounds a bit high for shipping. I'll be getting a couple in this week so I'll check it out.
As for the lottery date, I don't remeber the exact date, but I think it's April sometime. I think Leia and the Droids Fett had about the a 2 month timeframe between batches.
-
Just and after-thought I had. The Rebo figures are first releases, where as the carded ones are variations. That will probably hold the price up.

I think that will play a BIG price in why these stay a bit more expensive, kinda like the Early Bird set (which seems to be creeping up again).
Most (like me) can resist the carded figures since they are variants, but with new figures like this, it's hard to pass on them.

I just finished a deal with Padawan (Jonathan) who sold me his Logray for a very, very fair price. Everything went super smooth, of course. So now I'm the quasi-proud owner of a collection of Series 3 that is finally, at long last, complete. 8)

Congrats on your mixed-blessing Morbug- at least it is another SW kubrick.
On another note, I clicked on the auction link again above, and the high bidder is no longer a registered user. They must have realized what they had done, and skipped payment ::)

Congrats on the Logray Brent, anymore Kuby's are you chasing or are you caught up?
-
No, no more at the moment really. The only things I'm missing that I could possibly want are the carded Vader and the Parco Sandtrooper. I don't need the Vader since I have the loose version and it's too much for a black pauldron to get the other. Depends really how bored I get, maybe now I'll start all over again on a carded collection that will stay carded, so I have both loose and on the card :-X
What would be really cool is a carded Indy. ;)

This is retarded. I'd make a freaking ton if I sold all this crap right now and I could just trash the commons.
Logray $232
Jawa $328
Snowbox $$370
Tarkin/Veers $200
This is insanity.
-
Logray $232
Jawa $328
Snowbox $$370
Tarkin/Veers $200
This is insanity.
In the UK the Logray normally goes in the £55-£75 ($110-$150) the Jawa slightly more maybe up to £85 ($170) due to the nod to vintage with the vinyl cape.
Tarkin / Veers in the £40-£55 (£80-$110) range.
Only seen one 2007 box set for sale over here it went for £130 ($260) however I decided to buy that sellers chase figures and pass on the box set.
-
I'd be surprised if those prices become the norm.
-
The Tarkin/Veers was an anomoly I think. Tarkin went for $89 and Veers $200. Two bidders went back and forth all week on Veers though in a quest to be the highest bidder apparently.
Logray and Vinyl Jawa - I haven't even dreamed of trying to get them.
-
I paid about $60 for my vinyl Jawa I think.
As for Logray, I wouldn't touch it unless I knew the seller. Way, way too many fakes out there floating around, which might account for the lower UK prices. I only bought one because I knew the seller.

Looks like a gumball machine toy. I'm so happy that I never got into these things.
-
I saw that one, crazy. I'm just not that excited about the chase figures for Series 3. There is a Logray on Ebay as well from appleheadbb. Do you guys think this one is the real deal? Since I have been looking he has offered quite a few.
The only other chase that I am really looking for at this point is Veers.
-
There is a Logray on Ebay as well from appleheadbb. Do you guys think this one is the real deal? Since I have been looking he has offered quite a few.
I have no idea if that guys stuff is real or not. I think the probability of him having multiple legitimate Logray figures is very low. Is he dumping tons of other series 3 stuff for really cheap? If not, how did he 'luck' into that many of a very hard to find figure. You're looking at one per case of 96 figures, right?
About the only seller I don't know personally that I would buy one from would be Honorius. Not because I trust him; only because he seems to have some magical line on stuff over there. Not sure how he does it, but consistently he does.
-
I've bought several of the boxed set figures from him loose as well as a Shadow Stormtrooper. I'm happy with them as display pieces however, I'm not convinced that they are 100% legit. All the boxed piece ones come without a weapon and some of mine have a few "blemishes". I wonder if they are factory reject types.
However, as I said, for a display piece, I don't have any issues with them.
-
I've bought 2 snowtroopers from him, and comparing them to mine from the box and the one I got from Doc (also from the box) I can find absolutely zero differences. They sure appear legit, even though it is odd he keeps getting these things loose somehow.
I picked up the logray from another collector as well, I was afraid to just get it from anybody, and never felt like paying those prices anyhow. I will live without the vinyl cape jawa, right now that is the only one I am missing anyhow.
-
I've bought 2 snowtroopers from him, and comparing them to mine from the box and the one I got from Doc (also from the box) I can find absolutely zero differences.
The snowtrooper that I got from him was also identical to the one from the box. No flaws and certainly not a fake. However, the Jorg Sacul and B-Wing pilot that I bought from him had slightly limp legs.
