It's up to you what you want to do Brent. Just to give you an idea with my Han Stormtrooper order with Ningyoushi, $65.00 plus $1.54, USPS: Air Letter-post (4 - 7 Days). Total: $66.54.

I have an extra Vinyl cape Jawa. Anyone need one? I need a Luke/Vader chase if anyone has an extra. A trade would be perfect. LMK.

I don't know if anyone else tried it, but I strongly recommend NOT trying to put Luke's Stormtrooper helmet on him.

I was checking out the figures this morning with my daughter, and thought it would be cool. So I popped off his hair, and put on the helmet. The freakin thing stuck! Really stuck too...when I tried to pull it off, Luke's head came off his neck, so deep in the helmet that I couldn't get it out.

My wife had the bright idea of soaking it in hot water (I should have remembered the trick from my vintage collecting days), and once it was a tiny bit soft, I was able to pull the head out with tweezers.

Either way, don't do it!

I was going to mention this before. I tried putting the helmet on, but it was
real snug so I didn`t even put it on all the way.
They look cooler displayed with them off anyway

And, as an FYI, this is the best picture I could get of all my Han's lined up:

(clicky for bigger photo)

You can kinda see in the picture that Han's head is definately a paler shade and actually, the hair-peice is slightly different color brown on all three of mine.

They do seem to be a slightly different shade of brown, but I think it would be very difficult to tell the difference unless you had them side by side like in Jeff's picture. The hair sculpts appear to be identical and the facial expressions seem the same too. I think we're going to be seeing a few fakes eventually... $:-\$

Congrats, Matt! That's sad about the helmet, though... I liked the idea of them being in active disguise. $:-\$

The idea of vehicles is pretty great. I really like my lightcycles, the "Great Escape" motorcycle and the various bikes are great. I think I'd buy any good "riding" vehicle or anything that showed them off. The Special Forces van is kind of cool, but ... it wouldn't be nearly as cool as a landspeeder (where you could seem them hanging out) or even (fond wish) one of the basic ships like the A or X Wings.

There's several Indy's (and Master Chiefs and 3 Beakers...?) on eBay right now, FWIW. I might try to pick up one of these at last.

Has anybody compiled a full list of *all* the Kubricks out there? I've actually made a fairly complete list of what I've seen to date, but I'm curious as to whether there's any other public lists that I should check out and try to merge with before putting this on the web. (No pictures at this point, mind you.)

A full list of ALL kubricks would be a monumental task, to be sure.
Over at Kubrick World (www.kubrickworld.com) there are a few lists for some
of the series (Disney, Marvel, SW...) .
Head over there and start posting, great bunch of people and always happy
to help, and cover all kubs, not just SW (as this thread is geared at).
I post over there under this username, and quite a few regulars here are over
there as well.

My Han Stormtrooper has shipped.

Thanks for letting us know on the helmet Matt.

Matt,

Thanks for your Toy Tokyo order. Unfortuneatly, the Bounty Hunter Boba
Fett you ordered is sold-out. Because this was the only item in your
order, your order has been cancelled. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Let
me know if there's anything else I can do to help you.

Sincerely,

Josh
212.253.8699

Aha! That explains the 40$ BINs on eBay.
