I won't even hazard a guess at Chase figures other that Jar Jar with his tongue flapping and him as a Senator.

Series 8
Battle Droid
Darth Maul (No robe)
Anakin (Pod Racer)
Queen Amidala (Formal Outfit)
Qui-Gon
C-3PO (TPM Version)

There were a heap of others which I'll pop into the appropriate threads.

So much for a Hoth wave eh?
Oh well.
Nothing Medicom does surprises me.
But I would have rathered more original stuff.
Don't like the new films as much.

I was on the fence as far as weather I was going to keep buying a MC for myself on top of splitting a case with my friends, but this made that choice easy.
I'll stick with just splitting a case with my friends and pass on a MC.
I still like Star Wars and Kubricks enough that I will want some of these, but it does not hold the weight the original Trilogy does.
Its a shame, they had so many cool ones to make.
I'm sure we will see a few, but nothing compared to making entire Series.
Unless they decide to release em along side the New ones.
But it does not look that way since they are dubbed Series 8 & 9.

So much for Unbreakable...here comes a Jar Jar 1:96.
I called that a long time ago.

I'd love to get this set BUT i'd love to not have to sell my left you-know to get em.  So i might have to sit those out.

I think they look great.
Just not sure if i want them yet.
Too many other thing on the way.
The 8 inch TOMY Figures look amazing!

Here's the funny part though - Mediacom doesn't make $100 on their varient figs.  They make fewer of them and sell them at essentially the same price as all the other figures via a case price.  Its the folks that resell the rarer piees on the secondary market that make the big bucks on variants.  So what I don't get is, why would Mediacom not just make the same number of all figures and capitalize on selling a lot more of the rarer figs?  Or do you think they keep some of the rare ones and sell them for more money on Ebay?

Again, the whole point for the chase figure is aimed at the Japanese Market, it helps draw attention to the entire line.
This is how it works for just about every toy line in Japan, not just Kubricks.
Japanese Collectors LOVE the idea of Chase figures.
And remember, these things are only sold through the Japanese market.
Other than BBTS pre selling the latest box set, SW Bricks are not sold through wholesalers or retail markets here in the US.

I doubt Medicom holds toys back to sell on ebay.

Exclusives had a big impact on collectors. I think they alienated collectors in the early goings with that early bird kit because they made core characters as exclusives. Not to have a Chewbacca or R2D2 in a Star Wars collection is a travesty. I'm not a completist by any means, but spending $100 on a 2" plastic figure is absolutely crazy, no amount of detail in those Kubs could ever make me spend $100 or more on one single Kubrick. I think alot of other collectors felt the same. I had a pair of my friends that were really into Star Wars Kubricks with me, but prices to complete the sets became more unreasonable as the years went by.

I realize that Medicom isn't Hasbro where they are pumping out figure after figure and this kind of line is niche. But collectors from the same niche have different buying habits. Some collectors will shell out the $100+ for the chase figure to complete the set. Then you have collectors on the other end of the spectrum, that only purchase figures that are reasonably priced and understand the niche that the line essentially carries.

Are you talking about collectors here in the US?
If so I agree, but if you mean collectors in Japan I don't.
People in Japan, love exclusives and chase figures, it does not chase them away, it does just the oppisite.
Kubricks were meant for the Japanese Market, nothing we do here in the US will affect how they make or distribute them.
