I am in the minority.

Fuck these. Give me more obscure & weird lines. I'm so over these. Thoughts?

What about the obscure Star Wars characters like IG-88 and Admiral Akbar? They're cool!

The Star Wars Kubricks represent the #2 population demographic in my Kubrick collection. I love 'em, from the goofy sculpts of Admiral Ackbar and Nien Nunb to the character selections like R4-M9.

The thing I like about them the most is that many of them seem to be modeled more closely to the original Kenner Star Wars figures rather than the screen likenesses.

(In case you're wondering, I have more Alien Kubricks than Star Wars ones.)

What are you saying? The SW Kubricks rule! My question is will they ever run out of characters?

I would also like some more Kubrick-ized playsets, vehicles, etc.

The C.T.'s set are really nice, but i'm with you Missy, please make more . unique stuff! I love to see more Henshin Heroes, especially Kamen Rider Villians or a few Kikiada sets. The SW stuff is cool, i like the stuff out of leftfield more.

Though in the back of my head,i'd love a Bill and Ted set with phonebooth

Bill and Ted? Excellent!

I collected the set of figures form teh movie by Kenner (I think?) - bear in mind I had to track em down as they weren''t released in teh UK, and this was way before ebay and the internet. I never managed to get the phone booth....BUT.. I got that guitar and amp set where you plugged the amp into the figure and then to a walkman. By sqeezing teh legs togther on teh figure, his arm would swing down and hit his guitar completing teh connection to allow a most excellent guitar solo to erupt form the mini Marshall stack.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did they make a little Twister set, so they could play Death?

I had about 600 Kubrick's at one point, now it is just down to about 70 Star Wars Kubrick's. I still like Kubrick's a lot, but Japanese & Western vinyl overtook my collection a couple of years ago. Star Wars were the only one's that remained necessary in my collection.

I've never owned a single Kubrick (though I've come close to buying some Star Wars ones on occasion). I did buy the first Lupin III set for my hubby, though.

I have almost all the SW kubricks. I wish they would stop. Not because I want to stop. I just want variety.
