Star Wars Mini Helmets

Speaking of mini helmets...
I'll be placing these on the site either today or tomorrow. Check them out and let me know what you think.

It's a Japanese rite of passage. They put their pvcs in mystery boxes & put them in gumball machines for the kids.

MSRP is $6. 1/6 scale.
you don't know what you get inside the box as it seems. i just like them because they are small, inexpensive and you can own a set for a lot less then the 1:1 scale. now, don't expect the same quality obviously but at least you can display these in front of statues or something else since they take very little space. i just like the fact that guys that can't afford $500+ pieces can have them to collect as well.

Oh, ok. I guess at $6 a pop you really can't complain. Sounds cool and it probably won't take much to put together the full set.

pieces are:
vader
c3po
stormtrooper
tie fighter
x-wing
rebel fleet (2nd most limited)
bigs darklighter (most limited)

if you purchase a complete case, you are guaranteed 2 complete sets. my guess is that the limited ones will go for a bit more while the more common ones at retail. my guess is that if the box can be opened to see what's inside w/out damaging anything, they will be sold as individual pieces. no dealer would want to just sell the limited ones and sit on the common ones so the prices might be adjusted for this. all this is speculation, of course. i haven't seen them in person so i don't know how they are packaged or anything else.
