I had one in my cart but it was sold out before I could even click on the paypal link - they went in a fraction of a second.
I just bought mine from Mintyfresh since Super 7 sold out stupidly fast. Might take a little longer to get here maybe but at least i got a bag secured. Iv ordered a few other things from there sight including some Restore stuff so i have faith in there shipping.
With the growing popularity of these bags I don't even bother trying to get one from Super 7. Everyone is gonna be trying to get one from there. Over the years I've gotten a bag from Angel Abby, MintyFresh and DDR Projects. You'll have better luck getting a bag if you don't mind getting a bag from overseas
This is exactly why I decided to pre-order super early from DDR Projects, had mine reserved since January 2nd. Not worth the risk of losing out to faster fingers. I'm not sure if the Hang Gang has posted their bags yet, they're a UK seller and said before that they're receiving their shipment shortly. There still might be hope. Has Angel Abby sold theirs yet?
I still can't figure out why Rotofugi was significantly cheaper than the other retailers. $260 (excluding tax) and free shipping ends up being quite a discount.
My personal (and probably completely incorrect) opinion? After winning the DTA's Best Online Toy Store last year, Roto is probably doing damn well. Maybe other retailers really need to make a bit more of a profit, and knowing the popularity of the bags, they know they'll sell no matter how much they up the prices... so up they go.
Glad I was at least able to grab one at minty fresh. I fucked up by not getting one thru Roto when I had the chance the other night.
And for those still hoping to get a bag.....guess I shoulda checked my email before I ordered one from minty... I had emailed MPH about bags and they just sent me an email back stating that they would be getting them in any day now and that the delay was from the snow storm they had. So there still trickling in.....
The reverse can be said about the first 2 Medicom AA Gogas, Roto was significantly more than other retailers. I think pricing is always somewhat random.
I have a theory that the reason why the bags have sold out so quickly this year is probably due to having the process spelled out for lurkers in this thread. Seems like the bags have been hyped up like crazy over the past few weeks here? Easy pickings for flippers
Seeing that last year's Deathras and Garudans have been lingering on the Bay all year, I don't see how flipping the Lucky Bags would be a good idea. But ah well, I guess flipping happens no matter what's being sold. Always some asshole who thinks they can make a quick buck.
I feel that the flippers cant compete with the community here in this regard. I've sought out all the dethras through here and its been quite a good experience and none of the eye gauging prices. In that regard at least they are eating shit hard and I hope it is true of other makers' toys.
^ definitely. Also in all past and future dealings, I don't sell to people who seem "shady." Unless I've seen them before on the boards or IG, I don't feel comfortable selling them something that can be flipped. Same will go for any unwanted LB stuff I sell. I'd like to think other board members do the same and screen out low-post-count mystery lurkers.
I've got a low post count usually because I've got nothing to say, but I've bought a fair few things on here from other members and it's always been a real pleasure. I'll keep an eye out this year if any cool Conifas make it into these bags, since people tend not to like that sculpt. Maybe because it looks like the world's least comfortable dildo when viewed from the side...
Well, there's a mental image I'm not going to be able to shake off for a while. And by the way, when I said low post count I mean like... 5 posts. And all their posts are "how I get nagnagnag gorilla ju?!???" You're in the clear, hah!
Gargamel lucky bag (on gargamel.jp) was 21,600 YEN, which is roughly $181.81 USD. Retailers most likely paid less than that.
