    Am I crazy, or is the blank Mecha Zag in Zodiac Turquoise Blue?

    AA always seem to get lucky weather it's shady or not.

    I think sometimes it's less about luck. My first GLB (2014?) had a mixed parts Miborah & I knew I had it before opening the bag because could easily feel the horn on top of head ... shouldn't be too hard to feel a Garudan head as well ?

    @gazpacho (below) ..
    wasn't implling anything about AA ... looks like they did get lucky this time.
    Just saying that sometimes you can have a pretty good idea of what standard figures a GLB contains simply by carefully feeling the bag & comparing its size to other bags ...( I bet people that get large bags for 2018 have a good chance for one of the Garudans ) .... but hoping some Deathras are going to show up soon !

    I literally saw them take an xacto blade to the shipping box, grab the bag closest to them (lower right) and open it. Unless they’re channeling the sofubilluminati, I think we can assume they just got lucky.

    does the whole angel abby being shady thing really have to be brought up everytime someone mentions them? its already been cleared and gargamel still lets them sell lb.

    part of me wants to purchase a bag but id have to get a painted zag or mibora to really be satisfied although the robots are cool id prefer they threw in a different mini

    Same boat here. The excitement is real!
    I'm still hoping we see some more variety.

    Looks like the Bullmark missile-firing Mecha Godzilla.

    Yes. I recall that. That's why I do not buy my bags from them.

    For anyone who doesn't remember: a few years ago they opened bags as soon as they arrived and split the pieces up. The fishy thing was they magically pulled one of each standard sculpt, leading people to accuse them of feeling through the bags or using a high-powered light to view the contents.

    Gargamel still trusts them, though I heard AA sent mules to one of their TO shows? I can't actually confirm that, never been to Japan... but the pics of the LB pulls were on IG years back and were suspicious as all hell.
    I hope that AA has cleaned up their act. Don't know anything else.

    Sorry for thinking that people deserve to know the (possibly) shady practices of the people they buy from. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    And Saturday. Most people aren't getting their bags until Saturday.

    My bad, I suppose, wasn't meant to derail, just curious and not going to start a thread just for that.
    Anywoo, still trying to figure out if the Mecha Zag is gray or Zodiac.

    I think it’s powder/baby blue

    Its a beautiful colourway - and makes sense for the base colour to be powder blue if it's a Bullmark/M1 tribute. Super happy to see full mecha versions in every bag so far!

    Got a bag in from Bwana.
    TO Garudan, Unpainted powder blue mecha zag, clear blue vendor bot with GID goggleman, gid vendorbot with treads, clear micro smogon cokebottle micro Tetran

    Super7 bag is supposed to be in today but doesn’t look like it’ll make it. Par for Usps these days :roll:

    Although it still early, it's looking pretty similar to last year. Not a lot of variation

    Looks like the TO bags are more "standard" than the painted Mecha and GID Garudan bags

    I like burritos

    Agreed ... It seems the bags are =
    TO Garudan + blank Mecha-zag , GID Garudan + painted Mecha zag , GID Garudan + painted Mecha Miborah (rare) ... so there should be a TO Garudan + ??? bag. Is that all there is going to be?
    No Deathras? And every bag has the 2 robots?

    ^^^^^^
    Just gonna have to see... still early in the game. Either way, to me these are still strong bags. The Garudan has really grown on me over the years. I dig it way more than the Deathra. I wish I had one of the multi-colored ones from way back.

    The 2 unpainted robots are a bit disappointing. Still looks better than last year's LB contents, i think

    Seems there are no Doranekons in this year's bag :cry:
