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 still dont have the latest box set and there dont seem to be that many around, i am not sure but thats not a good sign. I hope there is some kind of announcement.
Got a nifty package in the mail today from Doc- B wing pilot! Thanks again!
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?
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.
