How can I tell if it has been tampered with before opening it?

Is it still wrapped in plastic? If it is I would inspect to make sure there are no rips, tears, or cuts in the plastic that have been repaired.

If it isn't wrapped in plastic you have to trust the person you bought it from.

It's still wrapped and sealed in plastic.

Is the plastic loose in any way that makes you feel it's been repackaged?

I don't have it yet. I just bought it. The plastic looks tight. There is another one on ebay but the plastic looks loose. I was just reading through the forums...am I reading that more of these will be available soon? I thought they were sold out as in ...no more.

They are due back between August and October.

I bought a SW case from eBay that came in plastic. The plastic appeared the same as what was in the stores. Turns out, it was re-shrink-wrapped by the seller (who has a big store and very well rated) after the seller determined which chaser was in the case. If you PM me, I'll let you know the seller's name.

That's horrible. I can't believe some of the crap that some people do.

Should I have just waited til October? Are the ones coming out the exact same ones?

Yes they will still be series 1. The only real way to know if there is an issue is to recieve the Tray and check the boxes. You'll have to see if all 11 have doubles, 1 extra Stormtrooper as the filler, and the chaser is there. Now it could be possible if it was tampered with the seller could have taken out a Ghost Obi and replaced with a standard. I can understand you are nervous after spending alot of $$ for it, but you really won't be able to tell until you have it in hand to inspect.

Have you heard if they're going to produce a lot more this time around? I have the set of 12, just not the Obi Wan Ghost Chaser. I was waiting for that one to drop to around $100-$120 before buying, but Disney didn't produce enough cases for the demand the first go-round, and the lowest I saw the Ghost Chaser was around $175. Now they're near impossible to find, at least at anything reasonable. My hope is that they over-produce cases of SW this time around and there ends up being plenty of Ghost Chasers to go around.

Unfortunately I haven't heard anything on how much they are going to produce. I'm hoping the closer we get to D23 expo and Florida Project they will start giving us some more info :).

I just recently bought and received my Star Wars Series 1 Box from eBay. I got exactly what one poster said above... 1 Full Set w/ Chaser, 1 Set w/o Chaser, +1 Storm Trooper. I guess there is no variation in terms of that extra one. I'm still new to this so I don't know how everything works out just yet. I HAD to have this Star Wars series... when you mix Disney with Star Wars, you have one happy man lol! I would have gotten the already opened full set for cheaper, but there is just something fun about opening each box! Plus... I have the "chance" of getting that Ghost Obi super chaser!

And now that I just found out that they are rereleasing series one kind of makes me regret paying so much for that case. :( I have a premium annual pass and could have gotten that case at a big discount with a "more sure" chance at getting super chaser.

Is this for real? Is there some link or bulletin that shows this? I just started collecting Vinylmation about 1 1/2 months ago, and I am a HUGE star wars fan. I would love to get my hands on a set. But like everyone else on this thread, I am nervous about buying from ebay with people saying it's a "sealed" tray
