Mine finally showed up and I am very happy. Got the glow skullpirate, which is what I wanted most. That bee is damn huge, had no idea they are that big.
...and that's the way to make purchases. You take a guess based on what the company sells. If you only buy 10% of what they carry, why take your chances on a lucky bag? BTW...lucky bags were started by dept. stores . They would put in a bunch of unwanted merch and sell them for dirt cheap just to get rid of them and make space on shelves. It went against another tradition, which is not only a Japanese tradition, of starting the new year with something new. So lucky bags started having new or expensive, but were only in small amounts...hence the name lucky bag. I also agree with andy about the proto thing. It's not a proto if you make 20 of them.
Ya, not crazy about the Mc Supersize, "Whats the thing next to the sharkman?"..... it's a white Astro Mutan.
It says, Manufactured by ToyTokyo , distributed by Secret Base on the box, I think it was released at SDCC, limit of 50 or something. Yay for me, a limited piece of crap.
sell your Mc Supersize on the KR boards or throw them up on the bay . i gotta say, out of all the stuff i'd seen so far, the Mc Supersize is probably the only one that i would get rid of. i'm sure Ron is a nice guy but i haven't really seen anything of his that i like.
ron english has a show in SF this thursday (i think he will be in attendance). even if you don't care for it, at least you can get it signed havent seen the tiny ones, but i thought the big ones were cool
Damn, the shipping box is quite large. Basically got this bag but with a Black/White Bee and Clear Yellow Microman. (Pic by silent killer)
Customs actually opened and searched through my Lucky Bag box. My box arrived resealed with the green "US Customs" packing tape stating that US Customs voilated it with rubber gloves... Maybe they took my clear orange RI As I mentioned before, I do not regret getting a SB Lucky Bag, even though I didn't get the things that I was hoping for. Glad I got the chance to get one at all. Them's the breaks...better luck next year.
With my luck, I'll get a customs agent who is cozy with ebay. Mine is still in customs...maybe Hiddy sent me a vile of his blood.
Yeah, that was the first time I saw the "US Customs" tape also. I was talking to the mailman and he says that Customs often open up packages if you order too often from a specific international region. Given that I had 3 orders for Secret Base, 1 order from KT and another 3 orders from Shocker in the month of December alone, I guess I got flagged.
Im glad to see there were some gid captains and rebel inks in the bags that people got today. nice scores!!!!
