New Year's Day releases at Rotofugi

Do you any of you know if Rotofugi is going to give out numbered line tickets, like they did with Toy Karma?

 

If the weather is complete crap I'll try to make it down early and give people line numbers so they don't have to freeze their asses off.

 

Sooo tempting, but i think the gf would kill me for going on New Years Day.

 

Is the store open regular hours on New Years?

 

Nope. We're open regular hours today ( 12-8 )...but only open from 2-3pm for the Gargamel Lucky Bag release tomorrow.

I'll know today whether or not the actual lucky bags will be there or not (it's up to the USPS now)...but we'll be there doing a release whether we have them or not.

Also, we're doing a Pre-Release of an unannounced Rotofugi Exclusive tomorrow as well...official full release and online will not be until the 5th, but those that come out tomorrow will be able to pick it up.

 

That's awesome -- Keep us posted, Chi-Town brainers!

 

yes, what is it....

 

I'll let you guys know what it is tomorrow when I get back from Roto.

If the pre-release toy is something that I collect (and if can afford it after buying a lucky bag and Invisible Kaiju set ), I'll post some pics

 

FYI, Gargamel Lucky Bags and Invisible Kaiju Packs arrived today...so tomorrow is ON!

2-3pm at Rotofugi Chicago

Online sales after if any are left.

 

Great news! See you guys tomorrow! I'll probably get there around 2...I don't think there will be a huge lineup for these??

 

Nice! I love it when the post office comes through!

Have fun at Roto tomorrow.

(and thanks to Brian for not making us open Super7 tomorrow)

 

Kirby,

What is the story with the version of Dream Rocket's "Doguma" in your avatar? I have never seen that colorway before, but it looks beautiful...

 

I'm not Kirby but I can point you in the right direction:

Yep, that's the right one! Thanks for the assist!

 

Thanks to all the SB folk who battled the snow and came by today...good times...Now I'm going home to play some Guitar Hero.

Happy New Year everybody!

 

Thanks for opening Kirby...

Just want to say that the lucky bags were great this year. I will wait to post pics; for now:

 

Any word on the secret pre-release?

 

Cat's outta the bag..these go on sale for real this coming Saturday...and now I'm REALLY going home for the day...have a good one everybody!

 

I love that orange.

 

the nougakis are great, i think. weird little bastards. and they grant wishes. took us a while to notice the glitter in the vinyl. i like.

 

I'm not a Cronic fan and I can safely say that those are pretty sweet. Rotofugi bringing some heat to the chilly Midwest!

 

I love Nougakis. There's been some really nice ones recently that weren't too hard to come by.

I just realized that I'm going to be in Chicago in about a week. Hope I can stop by the store.

 

worth the trip, hope you made it!
