A Luke Stromtrooper just sold for $49.

And it's a weird auction too:  click me

Like the rest of you jokers, I've been watching like a hawk and I never saw this one, nothing priced that low.  It's not a BIN, so where was it hidden?  The category is normal but it was listed yesterday and sold today??  Private listing?

And while I'm at it, how are guys managing to have full sets for sale?  If it's a HK/Japan split, isn't it awfully quick to have pictures together?  What about three boxes with chase and only a single blank?  One box with chase Vader, one box with two Han, one box with two Luke?

It was there, I saw it when it was listed and it wasn't hidden. I just type in Kubrick Star Wars and it showed up.

My master case is at my post office.  They tried to deliver it today and I missed it.   :'(

Tomorrow the ratios will be known.  I realize we have a pretty good idea thanks to yujun and others, but I'm still hoping for some better results.   :-\

Keep a good tab on the placement of the Kuby's and the boxes.  :)

The word frow the Japanese seller is that Luke is 1:48 and the Luke and Han chase are 1:24. But you will get either 2 Lukes or 2 Hans in each master case. Not one of each. There is no HK/Japan variation. There are plenty of each for sale here. I might be getting my Mastercase in tomorrow or the next day as well so eith Jon or myself should be able to shed some light on it.

They have arrived.   ;D



Okay so here are my beautiful diagrams again.  Please note I had to flip the boxes over in the master case to get them like that.   





Box 1

1. Vader
2. Vader
3. Vader
4. Stormtrooper
5. Stormtrooper
6. Stormtrooper
7. Stormtrooper
8. Emperor
9. Bespin Luke
10. Hoth Han
11. Nien Nunb
12. Luke/ Vader chase  ;D

Box 2

1. Vader
2. Vader
3. Vader
4. Stormtrooper
5. Stormtrooper
6. Vader
7. Stormtrooper
8. Stormtrooper
9. Emperor
10. Bespin Luke
11. Hoth Han
12. Nien Nunb

Box 3

1. Vader
2. Vader
3. Vader
4. Stormtrooper
5. Stormtrooper
6. Vader
7. Stormtrooper
8. Stormtrooper
9. Emperor
10. Bespin Luke
11. Hoth Han
12. Nien Nunb

Box 4

1. Vader
2. Vader
3. Vader
4. Stormtrooper
5. Stormtrooper
6. Vader
7. Emperor
8. Bespin Luke
9. Hoth Han
10. Han in Stormtrooper disguise  ;D
11. Han in Stormtrooper disguise  ;D
12. Nien Nunb

The aftermath.  ;) 





This is the best Star Wars Kubrick line to date IMO.  Vader is the best Kubrick ever.  The Emperor is also much better looking in person IMO.  Both Vader & the Emperor are pretty heavy for Kubrick's.

Holy, sweet news. Congrats on the 2 chases.  8)

So I guessing that the Luke/Vader came in a Vader box?

How'd I miss it??  I do the same search.  Stupid old man.
