Kubricks / Series 5

Anyone know where a guy can still get like 6-8 Johnny Lightning Interlocking Cases?

You could try here

Or, next time you hit the Cities, Hub Hobby in Roseville still had a few on the shelves last time I was there...

Just reading an article over at ESPN talking about the Yankees new line-up...

CF Johnny Damon
SS Derek Jeter
RF Gary Sheffield
3B Alex Rodriguez
1B Jason Giambi
LF Hideki Matsui
C Jorge Posada
DH Bernie Williams
2B Robinson Cano


Uh... yeah.   :o

Not a fun time to be in the Red Sox nation, I'd guess...  :-X

Kubricks / Re: 400% Kubricks

The gang over at Hyperspace Japan have received their 400% Kubys and have posted some great pictures...

I must admit that I'm a little disappointed that these don't appear to have window boxes like Fett.   :(



Also of note, like other speculated, both of the figures can wear their Stormie Helmet:

Well, it looks like the first shots have been fired...

Reports are coming in from all over the USA today (my JD-mail inbox is flooded).   :D

Wal-Mart - ranges from $5.83 to $5.96

TRU - $6.99

Target - $6.99 (via DPCI number - no actual store reports yet)


So, it looks like the Carkoon wave is coming in at the $6-7 range at the the big three. 

Let's hope we see some price competing between Wally and Target to bring the price back to the $5.00 - $5.50 range again!

Man, that's over $8 a figure on top of outlandish shipping charges.  Gonna have to think about this one...

Well, unfortunately I think that the $8-10 per figure is going to be the standard for these box sets now when they are on-line exclusives...

That's the way it's been for the EE sets - it's too bad though that there is no "bulk purchase" option for these like the EE sets have offered.   :-\

I guess since the basic figures are moving to a $6-7 price point, we shouldn't be surprised at the cost.

With all that said, (even at the price of $40 each with the shipping) I ordered 2.   :-[

The Boss strikes again!  Damon signs with the Yankees.  Finally a solid lead off man and CF.  Very happy about this deal.   ;D

Well, I guess the Yankees get what the Yankees want.   :P

It'll be interesting to see Damon all neat and trim again, goodbye Chewbacca Damon.   :'(

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Battle of Tatooine Wave
« on: December 20, 2005, 11:12 PM »
Point is, there is a Vader (appropriately) in the Hoth wave - there's no reason for him to be in the Tatooine wave.

I think you missed it earlier in the thread, but from all accounts/rumors the Vader included in this wave IS the Hoth Vader (a 500th Vader repaint). 

I think they are just packing him in this case to make sure that he is shipping throughout the year... at least that's the current info we have (insert standard Hasbro disclaimer here).

It was Gregorbian who did those killer SSA figures (Boba Fett, Slave Leia and Scout Trooper) using the Microman body.

I think he's going through finals now, but you can check his thread for tips...

Just out of curiosity, how are you guys determining the Shocks to be the SA version? I can't make out the difference between the two molds with that photo they provided. It would be nice if they were but I'm not keeping my hopes up about that one.


A few pages back, I blew up the photo...

Take a looky at this blow-up...



In the blow-up pic, you can see what looks like the "nubs" of the antenna above the Shocktroopers heads.  Also, on the #6 the belt is sculpted on, but on the #41 sculpt, the belt is a separate piece - you can see in the picture that these clones have the larger separate piece belt indicating they may be #41.

Granted, things can change (insert Hasbro disclaimer here) but for now, the signs all point to #41 Clones...

I dropped my SS gift in the mail today... hope it gets there by Christmas!  ;)

Kubricks / Series 5
« on: December 20, 2005, 10:52 AM »
Sorry but I've been away.  Ryo had 20 cases of what?

Ryo sent out an e-mail saying Robby.jp had 20 boxes (5 Master Cases) of Star Wars Kubrick Series 5 left-over after filling all the pre-orders.

Kind of a "last-chance" if you wanted to order more from them...

So is the there going to be like 8 rehash Vaders this year? Yeesh.

Like Diddly said, I think the Vader is just the 2006 Hoth Vader (500th Vader repaint) trotted out again.

Vader wasn't in the initial rumor reports we got, so I think it's just a case of Vader "refreshing" the case for the kiddies...

The more I look at these pictures, the more I LOVE the 4 new figures.  Fantastic!

Momaw = GREAT!

R5-D4 = a long time coming!

Garindan = that holster/belt is really amazing!

Hem Dazon... so beautiful...  :'(
