Iron Man 2 & Toy Story 3 are now released. Luke will be getting these .

I figured that, as well, but then noticed that these were created by Nike designers. I assumed Nike's central creative team was based out of the U.S., but maybe they used the Japanese office for those.

Let's just say that Nike is full of sick people

I vaguely remember that commercial. You can tell it is old, because Ben Roethlisberger is in it.

So....The Toy Story guys arrived today & Harry Potter & the gang are imminent. I'm quite stoked about the Potters despite the fact that the movies aren't my bag . I'm not sure what I think about the Toy Story 3 kubricks yet as they only arrived this morning but there is no doubting that they are cute. The secret Buzz is so subtly different you need a magnifying glass to figure it out initially.

Got an updated Tumbler for my Batman:

Which stores, in US, carry kubrick? I know I saw a watchmen pack at a local TRU but only interested in Metal Gear series. I remember seeing the first set being sold at sun coast or something...but I'm pretty sure sun coast is long gone by now.

Diamond Comics are currently distributing kubricks in the US although most of them are re-issued versions of previously Japan -only kubricks.
Urban Outfitters in the US surprisingly sold Lost kubricks & (if I recall correctly) MGS . Kubrick licenses are generally issued for Japanese distribution only,most everything that hits foreign shores is secondary market.

thanks for the info, will check out urban outfitters next time around. Hope UO don't overprice kubricks like most of their other stuff.

Forgive me,I should have said that this was months ago & I doubt you'll have any luck now . If you struggle to get the MGS let me know & I'll try & help,kubricks aren't the most loved around here (bit like me ) but some of the MGS kubricks are amongst the best minifigures you'll find.

I've not seen Kubricks in an Urban Outfitters store in a year and a half or so, but you never know. EBay's probably your best bet for the MGS figures. And they're not as expensive as they used to be. . .

I haven't started looking/buying them yet, but I'm in no hurry. Also, this is driving me crazy but I saw DC 75th edition on sale last night on some site for $69.99...and I can't find the link. Although, Amazon currently sells em for $78.xx with free shipping through prime. None of the Batman characters looks too appealing though (well at least not at $80).

Finally picked up a Kubrick "grail" I've been after for a few years now.
