$70 + $7 shipping, because its in the US. Not bad, and the cheapest I have seen around in a looong time.
Congrats Matt. One step closer!
But I still just don't "get" those Speeder Bike sets... It seems like there's lots of them available still, but very few are actually selling 'cause for whatever reason, ALL the Kubrick sellers seem to absolutely refuse to come down in price on that piece, and they're all at very high opening bids or BINs. I remember several months ago when the market seemed to be flooded with them at $55 BINs, but NOBODY was buying them. That means the prices should go DOWN, not UP... Totally bizarre.
And I've been contemplating get a second set for myself (to open/keep boxed - whichever). Annoying!
But those Early Bird sets are an entirely different beast. They ALWAYS go $115+, and always have a LOT of bids. Those have been on fire ever since they were released, and I don't see those going down at all. In fact, I'm rather surprised to see how steady they've held around the $125 mark. I would've expected those things to have gone up a bit by now...
On an entirely separate note, I was wondering this the other day when perusing the Kubrick auctions for the Series 3 chase figures (Jawa and Logray):
Do any of you actually open up each and every Jawa auction just on the off chance it might be a vinyl one and the seller may not know it (or be mentioning it). LOTS of Jawa auctions out there, and the Vinyl difference may potentially go unnoticed by a complete Kubrick novice, though I'd guess that would be an extremely rare occurence. Anyway, I never bother to specifically check each individual Jawa, but I was curious to know if anyone else was that diligent/crazy...
