Gargamel Lucky Bags 2023

Missing the rabbit and the mibora but I think otherwise these are all the releases.

 

Man, those look great all together, Bryce.

 

TERRIBLE photo but thanks

 

Realized I never posted my 2nd LB, so posting for posterity's sake. Was very happy with the pulls. It was the first time I've pulled a standard Deathra from an LB, and I absolutely love this one.

 

Congrats Paul so happy you scored the Deathra!! I'm still thinking about getting one more bag, to try and get that Mibora. Did just score a Sparkle Mibora from a board member, so maybe I should just count myself lucky enough lol.

 

Thanks! Oooh, the sparkle Mibora is so nice. Congrats! That is a super hard one to get for sure.

Yeah it's a tough call whether or not to go for another bag. When I caved and ordered a second bag, I was so worried I'd end up getting the same bag I got the first time. I couldn't believe my luck when it ended up being the Deathra bag, but I also breathed a huge sigh of relief to not end up with all dupes.

 

Does anyone have a picture of the homage to the zagoran and mibora paint? I know it's been mentioned but not posted.

 

Seeing some new posts made me look. I am amazed that Rotofugi still has lucky bags for sale.

 

2 years ago S7 had deadstock bags at 5 points for like $75 each. Would be fun to come across deadstock bags from, say, 2012

 

Funny enough, Mark K just sold one in his sales thread. Mark, hope you don't mind my quoting this here, if any issues I can take it down. Here was his pic, beautiful fig:

 

love and respect! Thank you.

 

Anyone grab those smoking hot Deathra's from Mandarake?

 

Waking up to seeing those already sold was a tough way to start the week.

 

2012 LB

 

It was weird as i didn't recognize some of them because of how much the tobacco smoke had discolored the clear vinyl

 

i've given up with Mandarake for the most part. I used to be able to catch a few things, especially secret base and some gargamel. I don't know what's happened in the past 2 years but the things I'm hunting are always sold out by my morning.

 

It's called nicotine patina, usually you have to pay extra for that.

 

That was some crazy discoloration. I'm almost surprised Mandarake would accept those.

 

Stick them in a bag with baking soda for a week and they'd be good custom fodder.

 

I just grabbed a pack of unopened Mini Tetran & Mini Belargon guts uncut. They're the same color. Someone was saying a low dose of peroxide is good for cleaning old he-man figures, I don't know about sofvi though..

 

Do you think that was it or the lighting? I mean the bakobas that they posted looks so off and did not look light blue.

 

Terrible. I've seen yellowing with the clear but that's some heavy smoke.

 

. . . or exposure to light.

*edit* Missed the confirmation that it was tobacco. That's gonna stink real bad!
