Re: New Secret Base I think they did the same number of each, so I wouldn't think they sold back stock of the Q9 with a new Mazinger. I know with the previous Pink and Purple releases they were just opposite bodies and heads being Pink and Purple. It might be the same with this one, but only a picture of the previous one? If not, I can't see a difference. edit: forget that, it looks like it is the same from the ones listed on yja??? edit one more time: from looking at the one on mandarake, maybe this new one is a little redder in body than the previous metallic one that looked oranger? I didn't collect them, so I don't know, but they do look too close on this one. Not in hand anyway.
Re: New Secret Base The first releases we're enough for me, just hope they decide to do a couple more of the villains.
Re: New Secret Base The new r9 is indeed in identical colour scheme to the previous ver, but they are completely different in real side by side. The new one is metallic pinkish.
Re: New Secret Base I totally agree with this, and love you for it. lol It seems like the last 3 suits they made sold well enough - the orange Death Phantoms and the double-pour GID with pink spray Toxic Phantom. Are their 1/1 skulls, Sponge Bobs and Ronalds selling any better than their Phantoms did?[/quote]
Re: New Secret Base The fact they were in a few lucky bags at the end of that year suggests they didn't sell out. But who knows how many were made. I just think we were lucky to get them made and available. I have no idea how sales compare with the others you mention. Given a choice tho I'd prefer MORE suits please! [/quote]
Re: New Secret Base What's the relationship between Secret Base and Cure? It seems to me like Secret Base does a bunch of Cure releases, or at least collabs, so it's always kind of seemed to me like Cure is a sub-brand of SB. But that's not the case, right? Tried to do some research, but I wasn't able to dig much up, so apologies if I'm asking something that I should have been able to find the answer to on my own.
Re: New Secret Base Glad you it one man. I picked mine up from the courier depot on Saturday after paying to customs charge. It's perfect too, not a bubble in sight! Also the glow on these is incredible!
Re: New Secret Base To me, Secret Base is to Cure what BountyxHunter was to Secret Base. Friends helping friends.
Re: New Secret Base Question for you veterans: I paypaled SB over a week ago and havent received any shipping notification from them or paypal, is that a normal time to wait or should i contact them?
Re: New Secret Base I'm not a vet, but I waited 4 days on my last order and heard nothing. Emailed them, got a response and apology straight back (they forgot to send my email) An hour later the Rebel arrived at work
Re: New Secret Base I think Secret Base have cut their hours of business lately. I know some people are also waiting on some items ordered 2 weeks ago. They also never received their tracking info. I am sure everything will show up.
Re: New Secret Base they rarely give you the tracking number but once you start to wonder what's going on, the parcel is at your door ! great service so !
Re: New Secret Base If in doubt, contact them. I've never had a bad experience ordering from Secret Base...great customer service!!
Re: New Secret Base ^^Truth! Their customer service is great. Often times I won't get a tracking number with my order (like with my salvation pirate) and just when I start to worry why it hasn't come it's at my door. surprisingly i've gotten confirmation emails more often than not.
Re: New Secret Base I have been getting tracking numbers with a shipping notice lately. I didn't request them, they just send them.
Re: New Secret Base No notification this time but a warp-speed shipping. Unfortunately close inspection showed a few bubbles Oh well...I guess that with such a pouring process these things happen...
Re: New Secret Base Bought my first Rebel Ink from Secret Base about a month ago. The email process was a bit nerve racking, especially on something so limited, but everything worked out perfectly in the end.. Just picked up another through a trade and I can say with some certainty that I am hooked.. Lol..
Re: New Secret Base Does anybody by chance own one of the unpainted Karakasas and know if the bottom part is glued into the umbrella? My Ver. 2 has a slightly turned foot & the connection between the umbrella and the leg part seems rather rigid - besides, I'm afraid excessive violence or the good ol' blowdryer treatment would make the tats peel off...
