I personally think the carded set is a weak re-issue and not a good sign of possible trends to come...

Now the Ewoks... HOT DAMN! I NEED THAT 400% PAPLOO!!!

I'm not really interested in any of the new stuff shown - don't collect recarded figures of previously released Kubricks or any of the Bearbricks - but I hope to God that these annoucements means series 8 gets shown this weekend.

I am more excited about the ewoks, at least its something new. Chances are i wont be picking these up and will probably force me to cross off ever getting the carded BAPE Fett and carded Vader.

I'm surprised nobody has commented on how the boba version they are using is a chase version. That should pull down the chase price somewhat.

Didn't notice to be honest.  I'm not sure it'll pull the price down though, I can't imagine too many people breaking up the set just to sell off Fett.  If anything, it might drive the price of the carded set up instead.

Jeff alluded to it in the front page story:

"Fett has been seen in the Carded collection previously, but this version is a new card for him as well."

The 6 carded Bounty Hunters were on display at Parco. They were on sale there but only as a pre-order. They are going to be released at the end of July.

I'm looking at this as an upgrade of the original series and I will be trading the loose ones in for them.

So ok, I clicked on the link, but my reading comprehension sucks:  the question then is are these mail away items like others in past, such as the 400% Fett?  Are they raffle or collectors club mail away?

I dont think its terrible considering ill probably pay more for the carbonite han, but i just cant see myself spending 200.00 on figures i already have.
Title: Re: Medicom Parco '07 Carded Bounty Hunter 6-Pack
Post by: Morgbug on June 26, 2007, 01:38 PM
It's not a bad deal, since they'll be $95 US or so plus shipping to the Japanese destination anyway, so between $110-120 at retail in Japan anyway.  $50-60 isn't that much of a markup on them really, especially factoring in it's a chase Fett in there too. 

On the other hand, I'm not sure how limited the edition size is and really how much people will be willing to pay at auction.  Might go up considerably, but it might not.

I'm just happy I open all my stuff anyway, so these are just redundancies for me. 
Title: Re: Medicom Parco '07 Carded Bounty Hunter 6-Pack
Post by: gasman034 on June 26, 2007, 07:07 PM
I just picked one up.  It's a 'no-brainer' to me given the original cost and the fact that it has a chase Boba Fett.  If I don't get it now, I'll just be chasing it down at a later date anyway.
Title: Re: Medicom Parco '07 Carded Bounty Hunter 6-Pack
Post by: DSJ™ on June 26, 2007, 07:57 PM
Yeah, I think this is a good deal for $30. each, $35. if you factor in the shipping plus coming in a matted display.

They are growing on me, but I wonder how others are thinking of displaying them? Do you take them off of the background and put them in Oscar cases, or build a Lexan box for them in the orignal display?
Title: Re: Medicom Parco '07 Carded Bounty Hunter 6-Pack
Post by: Hes No Good to Me Dead on July 29, 2007, 12:01 AM
I just received my set thins morning and it is mounted on cardboard. I will be taking my out at some stage as the will look much better in one of Oscar's fine cases.

Also this is only the first wave of the Bounty Hunters. The next lot will be released in November, so don't worry if you miss out this time.

Thanks again for the pic Simon, looks like they are made to be released from this cardboard frame of doom. A good way to protect the cards from shipping damage I guess but to display them in that frame is not great. It covers most of the cards, I have to get cases from Oscar in time.  ;)

Bounty Hunter 6 Piece Carded Set (http://www.slave2.jp/image-bank/MedicomToy/Kubrick/Bounty_Hunter_6pc/index.html)

I'm still on the fence about taking them out of the cardboard frame & displaying them individually in Oscar cases. Hate to take them out but that's just me.  :P

Oh hell, maybe I'll just get a second set.  :-X

They make Kubrick sized Star Cases, Bikeride should know where to get them.

Got my set yesterday.  Does anyone notice that Fett's head is white under the helmet?  Isn't this a variation of the original red gauntlet Fett?  It almost looks like the helmet's removeable.  Is anyone opening theirs?   I wonder if they might hace tweaked all of them to distinguish them from the original release.  Just a thought.

PS- The jerk I bought my set from didn't incluse the original packaging envelope.  Anyone want to sell theirs?

(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i306/DSJcdn/Kubricks%20Series%206/StarWarsKubrickCardedSet.jpg)

Now looking at the Fett under the helmet, the chase figure/s is white also but not as white as this one. Like the helmet is not pushed all the way down.

Post by: Jeff on September 14, 2007, 02:55 PM
I waited for the dust to settle and picked up a nice set which arrived today.  Very cool to add another 6 carded figures to the collection.  :)

At the current prices of the 6-pack, it's really tempting to buy another set just to open the Fett.  If you could sell the  other 5, you'd get a great deal on the Red Gauntlet Chase Fett.   :-X

Yeah, unfortunately no number on this set. Medicom would be the only ones that would know.

Also this is only the first wave of the Bounty Hunters. The next lot will be released in November, so don't worry if you miss out this time.

Was another lot issued in November? Looking at the auctions since the release, not many really have shown up. Would be nice to grab another for less.

Actually a lot still haven't even come out yet.  My set is still undelivered in Japan, so there are more yet to come and surely some of those will hit ebay.  Same story for those Bearbrick things apparently (five pack).

My set finally arrived at my Japanese friend's place this week, so there may be another flush of these on ebay.  I'm not sure if this indicates any increase in production or not.  The set coming to me was ordered early on, at the same time as the bearbrick five pack was available and that was delivered some time ago, but these took forever to arrive.  But if you're interested in them still, there might be some popping up on Ebay soon.
