    Those Zyurais are so cool! I like that Metallic Reddish one.

    How'd you snag that one, Scott? I saw it go to someone a couple spots in front of me. I think the guy was a flipper, but I'm not 100% sure.

    (Nice score, BTW!)

    Thanks guys.

    The odds were certainly daunting, but I kept muttering to myself, "Yes I can!"

    Indeed, I guess you've got a pretty good toy agent in Tokyo! :)

    There were strict orders to arrive before Andy san, and to take the best Zyurai and Bakurasu available! :D

    He snagged the "Two Face" Baku for me as well.

    Scott, congrats on the Baku as well. Actually, any of the pieces will satisfy...

    The new pin striping adds a fresh look. He might have used more than one brush to execute this. No signs of the old ps technique on any of these new pieces.

    Can't decide which of these to get. I have two other HPS in the green red colorway but the multi-colored baku is NICE!

    Toss me the other one you most likely will not choose... :D

    This will be a hard decision.

    So many wonderful things to choose from but the yellow headed tripasu is one of my favorites also.

    Nice score Scott...easily the best piece from the entire show IMO. When your shelves become overloaded you know who to call 8)

    I know zyurais and mavs are everybody´s darlings, but this gold bak is under top 3 of the complete show in my opinion.....(led by Scott´s zyurai in a similar colorway/style)

    I looked long and hard at that Gold Bak (really nice figure) but went for the Camo Tattoo instead.

    BTW, at the show people weren't allowed to get two of any single character.

    Also, that yellow headed Tripasu was still unsold by the time we got to the front of the line. I think it shows that a lot of the flippers went straight for the "main characters" and didn't make decisions based on the designs or paint jobs. Which is awesome, really, since some folks have been able to pick up some nice "stragglers" from the show - which are actually top shelf pieces. :)

    Thanks!

    I was gone all day, and when i got home I had some happy emails.

    I cannot believe some of the figures that did not sell at the show!

    Just an FYI, there is an amazing Zyurai and Mav floating around in Flipper land, but for crazy money!

    The Zyurai is one of the tatooed versions and the mav is gold. Nice, but too rich for my blood.

    Guess I won't be surprised to get a sold out email on Baku 8 then, there's still a Tripasu left but the sculpt just doesn't work for me so passing is easy on that.

    Just one Tripasu left when we went to Nakano tonight. (It's still there, in case someone wants it.)
