I'm not saying if it was a run of 5 I personally would have gotten one. I'm saying that in general I find it cooler when all runs are more limited. Maybe not as limited as 5. But having a release were one person can order 20 himself is a little too much IMO. A big part of the fun to me is hunting these guys down. I get a rush from the chase, once I've gotten them I usually get bored quickly. Then it's on to the next quest...
but in this case people are buying the toy because they love it, and its unlikely to be flipped for triple the cost. I love that cure releases open runs every now and again so everyone has a shot at owning something and if you want to chase some of the harder to find stuff then you can do that as well.
This! And all the more admirable when Cure the company is really just tossy alone. I think this year may be a good year for cure fans, japan based and overseas alike. Seems like there maybe also something new brewing which is not just a new variation of the boogiemen or fungah. Hopefully this will win Cure some new fans to keep them going
Great point Gabe. There are certainly enough Boogies that are tough as shit to find, it's great to have a bone thrown our way here and again. There are several in particular that I'm still hunting for after 4 years! Can't wait to hear/see more about this!
A full size sea creature or bat cave ghoul from the hellbox line would get me going, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to like what he comes up with. Hard not to speculate what it may be
I talked to Amy over at Lulu and she said the Boogies would be shipping out probably around beginning of March: way faster than i wouldve thought! Also we dont need new cure collectors, im one of em and i can tell ya we dont need any more, shits hard enough
Well... I am a new collector. So new that i have no Boogies. i guess I should be thankful I'm sort-of picky because I've settled on 1-3 of them i really like. (#1= Spooky Boogie, clear orange+pumpkin head+Glow in dark/C-3 exclusive), #2= Inner Devil Boogie, the black/pink one & Purple spooky Boogie + green Gee. I'm ready to pay a fair price for these, especially if mint in bag..... But what i really wanted to ask is --- last week I had the Spooky Boogie+gee in my cart at Mandarake in japan. Placed my order, etc. but then next day get email item sold out. Anyone else have this trouble ordering from Mandarake? The time difference makes it hard to complete a sale online. Any suggestions? Thanks PS.. if I have posted this in the wrong place/way, I'm sorry. new at this...
Id suggest posting an ad in the wanted section for the boogies you want for more exporsure but otherwise i think your post is OK. To my knowledge when there is a figure like a boogie on mandarake they only have one and its also for sale in store, So someone else couldve bought it in person and they did not had the time to remove it online. Is it still up on the site? My gf used to work at a retail store, both brick & mortar and online, she constantly had that problem when items were of limited stock.
Thanks for the advice... No, the Spooky Boogie long gone. I put a lot of effort watching Mandarake site, day & night. Was able to place order at 4:30 am last week and it didn't make any difference. Mandarake ought to be able to keep track of their inventory in real time. This is 2013, the age of super computers.... I felt cheated when I had the item, waiting for my shipping charges, only to have it sold to someone else..... I'll keep trying & post in the wanted section. thanks again...
Hmnn... can't seem to figure out how to post in wanted section. Could it be I'm a new member? Also, I'm really bad with computers.....
Oh yea, now i see you only have 5 posts, i think u need to have 10 before it will allow u to post. Should say in the rules section of sale/wanted section
I would suggest browsing the entire board and reading all the rules and faq posts too. it will help prevent people from biting you head off
Carlisle60 I suggest you read the link Ive sent regarding the rules and mandarake problem http://www.readtherulesfreshmeat.com
Sorry! I read the forum in mobile mode and it doesnt show avatars, post counts or join dates. Im a n00b myself so ill just quite down....
