Well, Madsontoys has 2 MORE logray up for auction.
I stopped counting, but he`s had over a dozen of them up I think.
Be very careful of this guy.

It sucks that these are starting out so much higher than series 3. Patience, 300.00 plus shipping is just too much for me.
Above my price too.
I figure 100 for Vader, 40-50 each for the Han & Luke and 50 for the set is
what I would pay if I weren`t getting a case.
Still kinda high, but I would be OK with it.

I agree, more feasable i guess  ::) but i can work with it.

I much rather the way we do it now. Me and two buddies split a master
case. We roll dice to see who gets the chase. Since I got it last time,
the other two have to fight it out this time.
And we split the Han carb sickness last time, so I think all in all I paid
about 145 for the full set.
That was getting lucky and grabbing Logray for $55 though.

So eager to get these, I can`t wait to rip into that case  8)

That's my big question right now.  How do I want to buy these?

1. Buy a master case and sell the rest.
2. Go in on a master case with someone already planning on that and pay 1/4 for my box of 12 (Jeff has kindly offered me the chance to do this).
3. Just order a box of 12.
4. eBay - not sure if I want to do this since I'm still new with Kubricks and don't want to get burned.  I definitely prefer working with guys I know I can trust (like at JD  ;)).

Choices, choices...

Spanky?  Can you tell me more?

www.spanky.co.jp

International buyers have to buy through email, but they know English pretty well, and are very helpful.  Basically find what you are interested in on their site and email them with a link to the pictures and a description of the items you want to buy.

I figured that you, more than anyone, would know all there is to know about that topic already...

I think he knows a few people that are in HK or shop HK and have heard/seen
the different fakes out there.
If all of a sudden, a dozen fetts and Indies show up, I think it`s kinda odd.
But, eBay`s motto is Buyer Beware, so always should be cautious any way.
I always check and see if the seller bought or sold some of the chase figures
before too. If someone sells dozens of Logray or Indy, somethings up.

Ugh! Only 2 Lukes per master case? Not good!
Hope I get one. I want this more than the Vader, actually.
I mean, I have to have Vader too, but really want Luke & Han a lot.

It looks like the possibility of a Japan/HK variant is now true.

So Luke is a Japanese chase, making Han the Hong Kong chase.

Was the Luke chase in a Bespin Luke box?

Are you able to confirm the ratios of the regular figures?

Vader 4:12?
Stormie 3:12 or 4:12?
All others 1:12 or is Bespin Luke 2:12?

So many questions!   ;)
