I'll get to everybody's PM's in time, but first of all I'd just like to give you all some basic info. Specific questions in the PMs that I don't answer here I'll tackly individually.

First of all the bottle caps. Unfortunately they are sold in small opaque (not clear) bags ATTACHED to the Pepsi bottles. That means you can't see inside them when you buy them, which increases the risk of getting doubles. For the previous movies I tried to feel what was inside the packages but I ended up getting a starfighter when I thought it was Yoda. Basically there's not way of telling what's inside. My method would be to get orders from everyone open all of them, then baggie them up. All doubles would go into one box, while the others would go into another. I'd then do lucky dips to insure that a. no one gets two of anything (if possible, we'd be pretty unlucky to get say, ten of the same character) and b. that distribution is fair. I'm also throwing around the idea of people involved giving me a list of two or three max favorite characters. That way I might be able to rig it so that everyone gets at least some of the caps that they really want. There are sixty different caps as I said, and Suntory claims on their news release that distribution is random.

Some people might be interested in the character cans and bottles. There are twelve different character cans/bottles to collect in total.

The R2-D2 drink cooler is offered up as a prize. They are giving away 2000 of them! To enter you need to send in twelve labels. So if you ordered at least twelve bottle tops, you can enter the competition.

Ok, they're also releasing a series of "Snack Clips" (don't ask me what that is) attached to their 1.5L bottles. There are eight to collect. I'm guessing opaque bags again, but usually with the bigger bottles they often have clear packaging.

There are two other special offers. If you send five labels plus 3,200 yen (approx. US32) you get a "Sound Big Cap." I don't exactly know what this is, but from what I can gather it's a device that fits to a can of Pepsi. When you press a button it produces some noises (probably the voice of a character). There are seven sets to collect, which means 7 x 3200 yen if you wanted all the sets BUT you can select the one you want. I.e. If your favorite character is available, you can choose that one.

Also, if you send in five labels and 4500 yen (approx. US$45) you get the Death Star stand to hold your caps.


PM me if you are interested. I want to put together a mailing list where we can all air our ideas. I'll also tackle questions via PM.

Hey, can you get specific caps, as I am not looking for the whole set? Also, how much would each be shipped to the US? Please let me know. Thanks.

Re: specific caps, sorry, no not really, not at the moment (please see my recent big post).

If anyone is interested in shipping costs, they can be viewed at:

Im very interested, in the caps and display (they cover the entire Saga, yes?), the cans (GREAT looking cans, awesome photos), as well as the large can toppers.

Yep, according to the site they do cover the whole saga. I think one of the pics had an X-Wing Luke bottle top?

Could you PM me with an e-mail address? Thanks!

I have ideas about people wanting complete sets. If you do want a complete set, but don't like the way Suntory is distributing them (randomly in little opaque bags), PM me your e-mail address and hear what I have to say. There might be a way to do it. I can always take you off the group e-mailing list later.

Thanks,
