Like Brent said, it doesn't make any sense to open cases of 4 if you ordered four.

It will be interesting to see if HLJ sends a sealed master case or puts 4 boxes in loose in another box. That last order for series 2 was for 5 boxes so they may have just opened a master case & added 1 box & fit them in another box for shipping. This order for series 3 is for 4 boxes so we shall see.

I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to do...

1) Order a Full Box - Keep a set for me and then sell the other 6 figures to the local cronies.

2) Buy a set off eBay - maybe get a chase that way?

3) Buy a full set from a retail site - might pay more per figure than if I bought a case, but lesss than eBay full sets?

$:-\$

Same decision I have to make every time too Jeff. It's a pain, especially with the prices being down, relatively speaking. I've still got that set of series 2 with the white Sandtrooper plus a Han

and an extra sandtrooper.

Basically I got lazy. I ordered the case from HLJ and it's done. My guess is with enough patience you can end up saving money by going ebay. Even with the chase, mostly because, in my experience, a case is a pretty limited shot at a chase piece. Frankly this stuff is a pain, but I've been able to be less worried about chase pieces simply because most don't matter. Indy was the exception for me. Vader would be too.

I'd have gone with BBTS if they'd had sets again, but since they decided not to, a case was easiest.

I'm going to buy a full set on eBay...sellers usually wait 3-4 days after the release and will sell them. Sure I will pay more than some but I know I'll have a complete set AND I won't risk not getting a chase and then having to pay more to get them

3 weeks and counting...hopefully $:-\$

With my order, 1 box is for me & 1 for Matt B & the other 2 I get to open & those 2 sets are spoken for so my odds are not to bad. Sure I'll have a few extras but I can get rid of them in time. Just fun opening them & looking for treasure!

Unless they are carded.

That will take a lot of the fun out of treasure hunting and opening up those blinded boxes... $:-\$

Yep that will. $:-\$ As Scott mentioned, hopefully we will find out in a few short weeks.

I'm pretty sure they won't be carded. Marvel Series 3 remained consistent woth the previous series. So I can't see why they would do it to Star Wars.

Thats a good point. I think they will still be boxed.

This missing a red armband, right?

Scott · « **Reply #433 on:** October 15, 2004, 09:19 PM »

Sure looks that way...did it fall off in the bag?

Hes No Good to Me Dead · « **Reply #434 on:** October 15, 2004, 09:34 PM »

I'm not sure, but I have seen other regular Fetts missing armbands.
