This probably isn't the right place but I've lost track of where the discussion of the Kubrick box set with the Snowtrooper is. When is this expected to hit & is e-bay going to be our best bet on this set?

Odd, I can't find the thread/posts either. I believe they are shipping in Japan either later this month or April. Ebay will most likely be the best bet as they were mail-order and limited to one per household in Japan only. BigBadToyStore, which is the only retailer i've seen offering these, may still be taking pre-orders for them...
-
Thanks for the info.

They are all mixed in the other threads. Things sort of got spread out when we split up the old thread to set up the new forum. We can just use this thread going forward to talk about the set...
(http://www.jedidefender.com/images/kubricks7/sw5pack3.jpg)
The set was supposed to ship in April to those who ordered from the Medicom Club.
Like Madcow said, the only place I've seen with a pre-order is BigBadToyStore.com (http://www.bbts.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MED10113&mode=retail) and they are also saying an April date, but I'd expect May is more likely.

I love that we are getting the C-3PO almost wish he was coming carded though. I want more Droids figures.

Me too. ;D

I wish 3PO was carded too, would look great next to the Droids R2 & Fett.

Not that it's the same but I WILL be carding these too. I already have Threepio done. I preordered a bunch of these. Do you think that was a mistake? Hmm...

I was having a hard time finding the new 5 pack pics, but I found them in the Minnesota kubrick section. Has anyone heard of a ship date for these? The BBTS site still shows an April release

It was supposedly due out some time this month, but it's obviously looking like it's going to probably be a May release at this point, unfortunately.
(I merged your post in here Dan, btw)

I opened both Fett and R2 and put them in Medicom Display case, I have an empty one waiting for 3-po.
They looks snazzy in those.

I am very tempted to track down an "opener" for both Droids Fett and Droids R2-D2 to go with 3PO. ::)
Hopefully there is a Series 8 announcement next week so I can start obsessing over those and skip the opener Droids thoughts...
-
I'm hoping there is announcement of Series 8 shortly as well...I'm hoping this boxset (with the Snowtrooper) that's been announced doesn't turn into Series 8. ...

My friend in Japan told me Series 8 will be announced this month, also that Medicom cut back on the #s, at least that's what their shop said .
CB
-
By #s do you mean production numbers of a given series or the total number of series in a year? I'm guessing the latter, which I can live with. I can live with the former too.
If they are cutting the number of series, maybe they're not going to lean into PT stuff. A resounding "yippee" if that's the case.
-
This is what I was told:
"Medicom Toy reduced new Kubrick of Star Wars product numbers this time and
All of Wholesale stores of toys are troubling by it."
Things sometime get lost in translation, so I don't think to hard about it.
We just discuss stuff and to be honest we sometimes misunderstand each other.
We will get a better feel about what this might mean once Robby starts to take orders.
If he dishes out the same amount he always does or doesn't mention lower #s then what I was told won't mean much.
Unless we see a drop in what ebay and yahoo Japan have to offer, just have to wait and see.
I honestly don't think this will amount to much but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

That is so cool! :D I so need that Snowtrooper and the Jabba's palace background is cool too. :)

My friend in Japan said mine arrived today as well.
I should get it soon.
Anyone intererested in just the B-Wing Pilot and 2-1B?
Don't need to keep those or Yoda, but Yoda goes to my niece's boyfriend.

Thats awesome! Nice to see something released. ;D

Man I wish I had friends in Japan! Does anyone know if this is going to turn out like the last 2 TRU sets and drop in price, or this one only going to be available through their collector club in a much smaller quantity?
-

Good question.
I'd say it would not end up like the TRU sets because its Exclusive to memebrs of the Medicom club online, one per address...BUT...BBTS took pre orders, so I'd like to know how they got their hands on that many.
Maybe they intend it for another release?
Who knows with Medicom.
CB
-
From what I know about it, it was a member exclusive, but there was no limit on production. So I'm guessing they made exceptions for the regular overseas retailers like BBTS and if you had 8 friends living close by, you could get as many as you liked. I don't think there's much of a requirement to join the club, so long as you pay and live in Japan/HK.
The only thing I can see preventing it from falling in price is the snowtrooper. First box set with an Imperial army builder like that and a cool one too. Me, I think series 8 is going to have a snowtrooper and they're delaying the announcement to ensure they sell as many of these as they can.

That's the best explanation I heard as far as BBTS and other retailers.
I figured out the other part though as far as people in Japan ordering them.
Tomo was seeing how many people he could get to order for him so he had a few sets to go to people over here.
Not sure how he made out yet though, have not heard from him just yet.
Makes sense.
CB
-
Thanks for the replies guys. I was just basically wondering if I should go ahead and pre-order from BBTS or if I would end up being able to get it for half the price on Ebay. I'm torn, but think I'll have to order it since I really want this set. What is the actual retail price of the set from Medicom, shipping included, in US dollars?
-
6090 Yen = about $50.95 US. Based on the auction I posted above, shipping on that one was $17. US.
-
Dammit! I totally missed this one. :( I've been so busy that I haven't really kept up, and I forgot.
They're sold out at BBTS. And I can't find any on eBay. :(

FYI: BBTS has change the expected arrival to May.

When you guus purchase the Kubricks from over sea's, how long does it typically take to get to you?
-
It really depends on how much you want to spend on shipping. I usually go with EMS which is very quick but can get very enpensive.

Thanks. I did so many searches, and none of them came up with those! :)
And yeah, those are steep. I wonder if they'll come down like the last few box sets. I'm guessing not as much, as they're not from TRU. But who knows?
-
6090 Yen = about $50.95 US. Based on the auction I posted above, shipping on that one was $17. US.
This is pretty much what I paid for mine from my friend in Japan. I had to cover the retail cost, the shipping within Japan and then shipping over here. Mine might be here by the end of this week 8) Those auctions Jay posted are high, so if you can handle waiting, I think it wise.
It's the usual early rush on ebay, so even waiting a month will probably save you $20 or more and it'll drop to around $60 in time maybe? Ok, maybe not that low with the $51 retail price but you never know. What I have no clue on (amongst other things) is whether Medicom takes orders and then makes a certain amount based on pre-orders or whether they have a set production run regardless of orders. If they do the latter and it didn't sell that well, then prices will drop. If it's the former, not so much price droppage.
Just happy mines on the way and here's hoping the snowtrooper appears in series 8 as well ;)

Wow, me too, glad I got my order in. I must have been one of the last ones. That will be quite a bummer if they don't deliver on the preorders.
-
My total cost was $85.80
That's retail
Shipping within Japan
Shipping to the USA
and any Paypal fees or bank transfer fees on the part of my friend.
Not as good as BBTS, but then again, no exclusive was ever up for presale by a major retailer before so I was leary when it came to ordering from them.
BUT still better than ebay, so I'm happy.
CB
-
Sure hope BBTS comes through.
I'm still trying to figure the BBTS thing out. I have so many questions about it...
If Japan retail was around $51 and then they have to pay to ship them to the USA from Japan, how are they making any money at $60?
It doesn't make sense for them to sell them at basically their cost like that. There is no way that they could have ordered them directly through Medicom any cheaper, that is something that has never happened before and it would be a huge violation of Medicom's agreement with LFL if Medicom sold to a USA merchant directly...
I just don't get it I guess. :-\

I don't get it either.
But I think Medicom did make these available to some retailers for whatever reason.
It just didn't make sense at the time (still doesn't) so I didn't order from them.

My friend wrapped up the actual box Medicom uses and shipped it outm very cool.
Gotta say the Yoda/Luke is one of the best Bricks ever!
I'm going to trade the 2-1B and B-wing Pilot if anyone is interested.
I'm after a Yoda or just LMK what you got.

I'm definately concerned, especially since we waited until late in the game to order, waiting to see if Series 8 showed a snowtrooper or not. I have not heard of anyone's card getting charged from BBTS yet-

Well they don't charge until they are ready to ship so I am not worried about that part, but i am just worried in general.
-
It still seems a bit strange to me.
If Medicom was going to make them available to some retailers, why not a wholesaler like Robby in Japan?
I didn't think they sold directly to retail anyhow.
I guess I'm just generally in the dark about the entire Medicom system.

I got one from eBay. Very excited for the set.

Clicky for larger images!
First impressions -
Luke/Yoda - Fantastic! Yoda is not removable at all (molded to the pack), but does have articulated head/arms. What a great idea and perfect for a box set like this. I was worried he'd be back-heavy, but I've had no problems getting him to stand. :)
Droids C3PO - er, yeah. I actually dislike this figure because it increases my desire to track down a loose Droids R2 and Droids Fett. ::)
Snowtrooper - Another winner! Great detail in his armor and back-pack. Many army builders will be sore he's in the box set because he's definitely worth hoarding. :)
B-Wing Pilot - could have easily tried to re-use Bossk parts, but he's all new. Removable helmet means many customs pilots can be made. :)
2-1B - originally the figure I was looking least forward to, but he turned out really, really good. A bit wobbly thanks to his legs, but amazing detail in his head and torso. He has a bit or wethering/wear to him that really makes him look like an abused medic droid. :)
-
:o
Nice! I hope BBTS pulls through for me :-\
-
Droids C3PO - er, yeah. I actually dislike this figure because it increases my desire to track down a loose Droids R2 and Droids Fett. ::)
Suck it up. It's not like you spend tons anyway, so go have a couple of beers and get on ebay. The wife will never know.
Snowtrooper - Another winner! Great detail in his armor and back-pack. Many army builders will be sore he's in the box set because he's definitely worth hoarding.
And now that the box sets are reaching North America, we can wait a short two weeks for the announcement of series 8, including a slightly different painted snowtrooper in a 4/12 ratio.

Boy I hope you are right about the snowtrooper. Having all but given up the Hasbro line, hoarding kubrick armybuilders is my new favorite hobby.
I traded Doc for his B wing pilot, so I have one to start modifying right away. Although I may have to wait for BBTS to confirm shipping my sets before disfiguring it.
Regarding the beer and ebay... You've probably heard about the idea of having to blow in to a breathalyzer before you can drive- well, apply it to computers and maybe you've got a product worth licensing to SW fan wives everywhere.

I did not order from them... as stated previously, the whole BBTS pre-order seemed fishy to me because none of the other usual Kubrick sellers (Robby or Spanky) were taking pre-orders for the set. To be safe, I went to a different source. ;)
-
My box showed up yesterday and these guys are really quite nifty. I sure hope they do the snowtrooper again in the next series, he's clearly worth repeating. :o
-
You guys will have to fill me in on your other sources. The only places I have found to get Kubies (outside of our group of course) are BBTS and Ebay. :-\
-

Spanky is a retailer in Japan, not sure of the link.
Robby is a wholesaler and you have to own a business to order from him.
(I order through a friend and we are at our limit as to how many he can order on his CC. He orders for a few people)
Tomo is in Japan and runs a service, although he is going through some insane stuff right now and needs to get things in order before he can get back into the swing of things.
He is a great guy and is always fair with his fees. You can see a link to his blog and website at www.imatoygeek.com
My one other source is just a friend in Japan that gets me stuff from time to time.
I don't ask, I wait for the offer to get things like the Box set because its exclusive.
I don't like to torture them and have them run around looking for toys all the time, I appreciate all the help I have gotten and the work they go through to send stuff to me and I don't like to push the issue.
There are a billion things in Japan that I would want that you cannot get here!
But I only ask if certain things other than Kubricks happen to easy to find etc.
I've had people ask me before to ask if they could get certain items, but again, its not practical for me to ask them to search for a billion people, they just could not do it and it would look as though I am taking advantage, I value the friendship to much, I honestly could care less about the toys, its just a bonus.
When it comes to Star Wars Kubricks, allot of them are just as hard to find (or just as expensive)when you live in Japan let alone trying to get them anywhere else in the world, I'm talking Limited Exclusives or even chase figures in some cases.
Whats mentioned above is a good example, Robby and Spanky not taking Pre Orders, the set was supposed to be only available on line through Medicom.
So someone still needs to explain BBTS...
Doc

I'm in the same boat largely. I have a friend in Japan that helps me out. I don't ask for too much, or try not too. We started out trading figures, back near the end of Episode I because he had the HTF Hasbro figures and all he needed in return was Canadian carded figures, something he avidly collects from the modern line. So we traded, but quite quickly I ended up having all the stuff I needed from him. But he still wanted Canadian carded figures and since I was out anyway, I kept picking them up for him. And I've been doing it now for 7 or so years. I sell them at cost and shipping because I'm out there looking for myself anyway. That paid off for me in recent years with help on GG and Medicom stuff. And it's been great.
I do have a membership at Robby.jp as well, so that's helpful but only when they get stuff which obviously doesn't always happen.
But much of my collection, outside of the chase figures and carded figures have come from ebay, same as most everyone else. I just seem to usually be in less of a hurry than most people to get them or maybe having just a little more patience. Maybe I'm drinking less.
Either way, I'm as caught up as I intend to be on this line, outside of someone offering me a legitimate chase Ewok vile demon thing for a reasonable price and that ain't gonna happen.
-
Thanks for the info. So do people think that BBTS is not going to come thru on these?
-
There is always that chance with any kind of preorders because they are alloting a certain number of pieces for shipment. Their supplier could always back out and send less sets than expected due to shortages or other reasons.
-
They're sold out at BBTS. And I can't find any on eBay. :(
Totally bizarre... I just wandered over to BBTS to take a quick gander at the status of this box set, and it was listed right at the top of their Kubrick section as "Pre-Order", so I went ahead and placed an order for one (Collector Grade), which was completely processed and verified through e-mail. I was about to hop back in here and mention it to anyone still in need, but as soon as I went back to the main page and checked their Kubricks out again, it was listed as "Pre-Order - Sold Out". So judging by the looks of it, this set went back up for sale (pre-order), and I somehow managed to buy the very last one... Wow. Very lucky timing, I guess.
Now, fingers crossed that they come through, 'cause their prices sure as hell beat the ones on eBay for this set! I've had good luck with them before, dating all the way back to Series 2, when Scott and I lucked out on that entire wave of 9 (including the Indy chase) for a surprisingly affordable $130. Boy, those were the days...
-
I have had similair things happen to me with BBTS. Chances are someone canceled their pre-order and you got it. I hope they come through as well, i have one on pre-order too.

So judging by the looks of it, this set went back up for sale (pre-order), and I somehow managed to buy the very last one... Wow. Very lucky timing, I guess.
Now, fingers crossed that they come through, 'cause their prices sure as hell beat the ones on eBay for this set! I've had good luck with them before, dating all the way back to Series 2, when Scott and I lucked out on that entire wave of 9 (including the Indy chase) for a surprisingly affordable $130. Boy, those were the days...
I noticed that too when I went there this morning to check on my pre-order's status. I then inquired customer service about the shipping status if it was still expected to ship this month after biening pushed back from April. Here's the response.
"We unfortunately do not have any more accurate arrival date information on this product, sorry. Manufacturers often do not tell us when items will be ready until the items are either in transit to us or about to ship to us. Manufacturers also often experience delays in the production or shipping of products so its hard to establish a specific release date. We will update our listings once more specific release & arrival information is known. "

They're sold out at BBTS. And I can't find any on eBay. :(

This is exactly what happened to me with the cereal Kubricks (Frankenberry, etc.) a while back. I wanted the complete set with hologram versions, but they were sold out. One night while online and drinking (but not on ebay) I stumbled into BBTS while googling for the damn things. They had a set, I ordered it, went back and it was gone. I got the confirmation email and sure enough they came through with the set when it came into stock.
This is a very cool set by the way. I haven't opened mine, but it's been a nice little run over the last month, getting a big Fett, big and little BHS and this box. Mmmm, kubricks.

I have added the box set to the JediDefender Image Database.

By far the best of the 5 packs IMO.

Weird. Has anyone gotten a reply from BBTS about this set? I shot them an email a few weeks back, but never got a response.

Still sold out, may have been someone who canceled their order.

Bummer. :-\ Still no reply from my email a few weeks ago.

Well I couldn't wait anymore...
There has been a set HUGELY overpriced on ebay for quite awhile and after a couple of beers at lunch...
...I bought it! ;D
This should be good news for everyone else as knowing my luck they will start showing up everywhere now and soon be going for a third of the price!
Still at least a snowtrooper will soon be in my collection.
-
Still no word from BBTS. :P
Congrats on getting one. I'm still holding out for BBTS...they keep adjusting the expected delivery date each month. :) :-\ :(
Help me BBTS, you're my only hope!

I am doing the same. I hope they get them.
-
I'm glad I got one before they got too out of control, but I would much rather they show up through BBTS so I have even a remote chance of having multiple snowtroopers. Even if they do show up in a future wave, it looks like that would be 11 at the earliest, sometime late 2008 or early 2009.

It's not as good as the $55 pre-order from BBTS but it sure as hell beats the $200 they were heading towards!
-
Congrats $100 is a very good price at the moment...
This means one of two things:
1 - Seller didn't know how much he could get for it (the last 3 on ebay have gone for nearly $200!)
or
2 - They are about to start delivering on this (finally) and seller wanted a quick sale
I suppose time will tell...
-
I am hoping for option 2, which was my first thought.
-
$100. is a hell of a deal, congrats!
-
You guys still don't have this set? :o
Sorry, that was a tad arrogant and smug ;D $100 is a heck of a price, nice work.
-
I am hoping for option 2, which was my first thought.
I'da thought so too . . . the guy has some serious feedback so I'm guessing he knows his stuff!
Now I've bought the set odds are they'll flood the market at $20 a pop . . . I got the Midas touch in reverse!
-
Anyone know who this buyer is? He bought 2.

Just received from BBTS: :(
Hi - after repeatedly emailing our distributor in Japan about this set, we finally heard back from them via Medicom:
"The manufacturer (Medicom) has confirm that they could not deliver it to the wholesaler due to a licence problem with Tomy on this product only. "
Due to this licensing problem, our distributor in Japan was unable to receive any of these items. This situation has never happened to us before and it sounds like it was unusual on their end as well. I'm truly sorry for the problem on this item, but due to the licensing issue in Japan, we will not be able to get any product or fill any preorders. We will cancel all orders and remove this item from our website - sorry!
Thanks

Great :-[ >:( I knew i should not have waited for them on this set.
-
That stinks- I can't believe how few of these seem to be around- maybe they will eventually hit a retail store in Japan?
-
I thought it was strange right off the bat that they would offer a Medicom Club Exclusive like this, being that it never happened with any of the other set etc.
BUT hoped they came through for you guys being that it might mean some of these thing s would be offered like this again in the future.
Such is Kubricks.

Pisser! Also seems unlikely that we would see these figures anytime soon given the new wave announcements. Hopefully they rerelease as a multipack to more outlets down the road. >:(

Its strange, it was Exclusive to the Club, but it wasn't limited like the others.

I guess I'm not surprised by BBTS's announcement, just surprised it took this long for them to confirm what we've been speculating for a while now.
Sucks for those who were waiting, but I guess it's another case of "if it sounds too good to be true..."
-
To be expected I guess, it was to good to be true. I went another route & mine should be here early next week.

Well, I'm bummed that I'm not getting them for the BBTS price, but I wouldn't have paid much more than that for the set anyway, so I don't feel too bad about this. Sucks for the hard core Kubie buyers, but I already feel ripped off at $10 per figure. :-\

Congrats on nabbing one Scotty. Too bad on the price, but I really don't think we're going to see any more of these pop up anyplace...

Between this fiasco and the move to prequel figures in the upcoming waves, I've pretty much exited my Kubie collection. Cool figs, but way too expensive and stressful to maintain. :-\

Congrats on the set Scott. Yeah, very hard to come by.

Wow, they have really shot up there! Congrats on getting your's Scott- We all love to get a great deal, but sometimes you take a hit and it all evens out later.

So does anyone else have this pre-ordered at ToyWiz.com? Every time I check the product info, the ship date changes to the current month. I'm assuming their running into the same issue that BBTS did, but ToyWiz must think they'll get them eventually.

Yeah, I also put in an order at ToyWiz.com as a back up for BBTS but... :-\
Oh well, at least I got the set. 8)

YIKES! What the heck?!?! This set is now higher than the Rebo set. Thank goodness I stopped when I did. I can't afford that... :-\

Well Scott got his for $281.50 & that other auction went for $275.00 but this set (http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-Star-Wars-Kubrick-Exclusive-Box-Limited-Ver_W0QQitemZ250190118075QQihZ015QQcategoryZ48972QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) went for $297.43. A very hard set to come by & sure to climb, ah yup!
-
I'm starting to think the only way to get this set will be to buy them individually.
-
As long as you don't mind that the weapons are missing which seems to be what they are on eBay lately then yeah, might be best to buy them individually. Check the completed auctions to keep track of what they have been going for.

Yup, I've been doing that with I am Sith. Other than 2-1B the weapons are at least "common", right?
-
This would be a bad time to point out what I paid, right? :-X
-
Well, so far I've been able to get everything except the Snowtrooper by buying them individually. The 2-1B and B-Wing Pilot came with their original weapons too (or at least that's what the auction said ;)). Granted, I've paid about $150, but I'm really hoping I can get the Snowtrooper I still need for less than $150 ;D
-
Other than 2-1B the weapons are at least "common", right?
Everything else looks common to me except the 2-1B 'weapon'. Heck, the Luke/Yoda comes with the exact same items as the Series 4 Bespin Luke. Speaking of, anyone have an extra complete Series 4 Luke they are looking to part with ;)

The Snowtrooper is the bugger. $50 (bin), $60, $61, $77, $78, $89 all from appleheadbb, 6 loose Snowtroopers. Oy!
This loose box set was a good deal at $122.50 but again no weapons. :-\

Ouch! $300?! That's insane. I really want a snowtrooper, but I'm not paying anything close to that to get one. :P
-
I preordered this set off ToyWiz a long time ago. Now it says sold out. Hopefully I will still get it. Says ships in January.
My bet is that they had the same distributor as BBTS. They never got them in, it just says sold out on the site. I finally canceled my order yesterday. When I called them on the phone Jan 3rd the rep told me that the distributor keeps pushing the date back on them, i.e. they're not getting them :( Luckily I got this set months ago for what I guess would be considered a steal at 178.00 compared to what they've been recently.
-
I can just hold out hope then I guess. If I see it on ebay I would try but $300 is way too much. And I would want ones that had weapons not the ones without like someone has been selling on there.
-
Anyone have a good theory on why so many of these sets have been showing up loose without their weapons?
-

Don't know anything about the sellers, but a couple of heavy overseas sellers appear to get factory rejects/extras. I assume they either work there or know someone who does. Not a big stretch to find something similar happening at the Mediacom production facility.
-
I bought a couple of these without their weapons on eBay. I'd subscribe to the theory of "rejects". The Blackhole Stormtrooper I got had stray silver ink on the backside. When I first saw it, I thought maybe its a reject. However, for a display purpose it looks fine and I can get extra blasters from other figures.
-
Can anyone PM me where they are getting these from? I ran a qucik search on ebay and didn't see any, but would be interested in getting some without weapons for the right price...

PM sent.

Even loose without the weapons these have been running pretty high.

Yeah, so far for the four figures I have, I've spent $160. That's also without the Snowtrooper. So once you factor in that those have been going for about $70, I'm in for at least $230 for this set...

Yikes! That's a hell of a price.

Glad to see someone making money off of these in the secondary market. Too bad they didn't just make 4x as much though and let peopleadd to their collections for something less than the price of a TV. Honestly, this set is party the reason I'm letting my kubie collection go. Its one thing to not be able to get the variants, but making a box set of five pretty commmon characters this difficult to get is ridiculous. :(
-
I think now you know how people in other countries feel about collecting all of these American Toy Lines...its the price you pay for collecting a foreign little produced line. Just my 2 cents
-

No, I don't know. I'm sure its a lot harder to collect in a foreign country because there is a ton of stuff that they don't have access to versus a few exclusives. A lot of people in other countries probably don't have as big of an income to support their collection or as big of a house to display it in or clean drinking water for that matter. Of course, I also don't know of too many SW toys that I could buy locally then sell overseas for 400% their original cost.
My comments are geared more towards exclusives of any kind. Is it cool for you to have something in your collection than 99% of other collectors can't get? Sure, but how does that make the other 99% of collectors feel?
-
To me that's the nature of collecting...not everyone can have every thing.
And, Kubricks aren't mass produced Hasbro figures where every town in America with a Wal Mart can get you the same crap for months at a time, this is a very limited release item that was even less distributed than was originally thought to be, hence the high price. But, its still cheaper than most chase figures on a price per figure cost, to me that's still reasonable, but to me, I'll pay $100+ for one chase Kubrick no problem, let alone 5 glaring wholes in my collection. Those high prices have always been with this line and I don't even bat an eye any more...but maybe I should :-\
-
Nuh-uh, stop that. You're not bailing here too. Stoopid midlife crisis in Mankato. >:(
But if anyone wants to drop $100 per figure for that box set, I can probably live with those glaring holes in my collection.
I still think the snowtrooper will come out, but now it looks like it'll be at least two years down the road once we get past another prequel movie. Then it will show.
-
I still need the set and thought about it for a second, but can't justify spending 400.00. If it was closer to 300.00 i woul dhave gone for it.
-
I'm with you Scott. If you bought the 5 pack at 369.00 that works out at to 74.50 per figure. Thats probably better then any five chase figures you would buy. Its still steep to say the least, but these items are not readily available to the general pubic. That fact alone creates some novelty to these products. Plus they are kinda neat.

I'm one of the nutty ones that just started. I'm in deep at this point. Thankfully, most of habit has been fed on selling Hasbro toys from my collection. The exception was the Tarkin I just got. My paypal was dried up so I paid via credit card. :-\ I'm starting another set of sales pretty soon.
-
I'm pretty much done.
I'll only keep a few here and there, its just gotten to expensive.
I'll still do Bricks N Beer, but most of what I get I'll sell.
I don't even think there is one Brick in the 8th Series I'll keep.
9 has a few I'll want though, like Doku, Jango and the Clone.
My completest days are over.
I'm into the Koto Magnets now, much cheaper and easier to find...well some of the chases are becoming a bitch!
But such is Japanese stuff.
At least they aren't $100 a pop.

Well that sets a new record for this set, $369.99 US. plus $20. US to ship that to the winner in the UK. So ya might as well say this sucker goes for $400. :o :o

The next one that comes up for auction will probably list for $400.00 How much will the market bear?

New one up from the same seller at 369.99.

It sold!

HAHA! That was actually my logic. I was at my girlfriends house and just looked at her and said i was buying myself a birthday present. She just looked at me and laughed already knowing what it was. It was expensive but it was killing me not having it. Oh well, there goes my total for Feb., and i was doing well up until now. :D
-
Happy Birthday! That's a fantastic birthday present, and the best part is you know it's 100% authentic. BrentS and I have been speculating that the ones we've bought loose are rejects (loose joints, shotty paint aps, etc). Glad you were able to get that set.

Late to the party again. I guess it's my lack of interest in the prequel figures.
Although I actually just had a friend in Japan and told him to look for series 8 for me, even though I wasn't originally interested. Thought if he could get it for a great price that I'd pick it up.

And the set sells for a best offer of $300.00.
-
That's suprising since he didn't go for $304 on the last auction
-
New one listed for $369.99:

I wonder how he has ended up with so many.
-
It sold, looks like there are still people willing to pay the price for this one.
-
thats insane, keeping my fingers crossed that this is not going to be norm for future sets.
-
One set just sold with BIN for $99.00. Hope one of you guys got it.
-
Woo :o, just join the group and didn't know the price of 2007 box set has gone up this high. Luck me that i'm able to get one from initial release while price is still affordable ::)......
To be honest, i feel pretty tried in chase all this so call limited item as price somehow seems not really justify :-[......
Afterall herewith a photo for share with everyone

Is this the auciton you were talking about?
Clicky eBay Auction (http://"http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-STAR-WARS-Kubrick-Figure-BOX-Snow-Trooper-AFA_W0QQitemZ190216223266QQihZ009QQcategoryZ751QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem")
If you look at the description it is for a 2006 boxed set (Luke Skywalker, Imperial R5 Unit, K-3PO, Ten Numb, Wicket Ewoks) I am Sith and I are debating and this the picture is probably wrong.
-
Yeah, strange that in the title, the seller mentions STAR WARS Kubrick Figure BOX Snow Trooper (http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-STAR-WARS-Kubrick-Figure-BOX-Snow-Trooper-AFA_W0QQitemZ190216223266QQihZ009QQcategoryZ751QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) & yet the description is for the STAR WARS Kubrick Figure BOX Luke Skywalker (http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-STAR-WARS-Kubrick-Figure-BOX-Luke-Skywalker-AFA_W0QQitemZ190216222334QQihZ009QQcategoryZ751QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) which he has for a bin of $49.99.
Title, description & bin boo boo.

Holy crap on a stick Batman, this has to be a record for a loose Snowtrooper! (http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-WARS-Kubrick-SNOWTROOPER-JP-exclusive-Rare_W0QQitemZ370052062986QQihZ024QQcategoryZ48972QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) :o
-
Why not just spend the extra $150 and get the set?
The winning bidders bidding is just nuts, he upped his bid after being outbid at $125 ???
-
I completely agree with you on this one & to make matters even stranger this bidder won 2 others from that box set within seconds. ???
Kubrick C-3PO JP exclusive (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370052062998)
Kubrick 2-1B JP exclusive (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370052063005)
Plus to top it off, both the Snowtrooper & 2-1B do not have the weapons included!
So $211.51 for 3 loose Kuby's. Oy!

Just an FYI that I spun off all the "Tomy Superdeformed" talk into the existing thread (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14696.0) over in the Other Collectibles area.
Feel free to continue the discussion over there... ;)

Any of you openers still have the box/tray that these figures came in and is willing to part with it? I bought mine piece by piece and I'm running out of room in my display so I'm looking to box these guys up. Please shoot me a PM if you'd like to sell your empty box/tray. Thanks.

Bump
Damn, why didn't I see this (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Medicom-Kubrick-Star-Wars-2007-Ver-Snowtrooper-/220972414578?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3372fb7672) before the auction ended. I mean I did, but didn't pay much attention to it because there's so many of the newer Snowtroopers on ebay.
I'm not actively looking to buy it but at that price I'd definitely get such a hard to find kub.
-
I missed that too. Not sure if it showed up in the US search. :P
