    I agree with Brian back there. collecting takes patience and a focus. if you want everything under the sun youre going to end up hoarding and missing the point of curating to your tastes.

    I basically buy these bags in hopes of a Zodiac and the awesome Dethras.

    Give it time and it will pop around here for a decent price.

    Jesus, I wouldn't kick the Mecha Zag out of my collection but that Mecha Mibora is so incredibly perfect.

    Who was selling the pocket hedoran? Either the post is gone or I can't find it.

    .....Or, Crystal Mecha sells okay, and we like making them, so we make them as we like and the people who like them can buy them and the people that don't....don't. And we actually make enough for people to buy which is why a couple colors are still on the webstore and others are sold out, which I think was the point you wanted to make, albeit it is for our toy that nobody wants as opposed to something that YOU want.

    As far as the Wing Kong, we had factory delays in the painted versions. We aren't in the business of taking things that people want and making sure they never get them. There will be some soon, the you will have a chance to get one just like the other toys we make, and then you can decide if you like it or not and whether you want to buy it or not.

    Mecha-Zag? No one said Gargamel owes you a Mecha-Zag. Either you get it from them their way or you don't. It's pretty simple.

    Crystal Mecha fucking rules! One of my favorite toys! So I wouldn't say nobody likes it. :?

    I don't get the entitlement angle. I am not saying anybody owes me anything, but when you make a sculpt, make it available or it might as well not exist. It's pretty simple.

    Looking forward to more Winged Cong variants! The Lucky bag blanks were awesome! :)

    It sounds like collecting highly sought after, hand-made Japanese vinyl toys maybe isn't for you!

    It's just my opinion man. I'm not asking for your advice on how to collect. I can love my country and not agree with how it is run, just like I can love my toys and not agree on how they are sold. Doesn't mean the fight ever ends...

    The bag was $300 for 2 standard figures, 1 medium, 3 mini/pockets, 2 micros. That speaks for itself.
    Gargamel made Mecha Zag a very common standard in this year's bag. They didn't have to, they could have left it a canvas for one-offs for their shows. They didn't. I think they were very generous to make this sculpt available for so many people.

    I make an effort to save up my money specifically for a Lucky Bag, because I know it's the best chance I have of getting a standard figure that I like and can afford. If I don't like what I get, I can trade for something I do like.
    And that's that.
    I don't know what more there is to discuss.

    All I know is that we should get back to the photos, because this is getting a bit ugly.
