    The Lure of unpainted Pushead is strong... but 10500 ¥ is a bit steep for this years X-ball which may or may not contain any sofubi at all. Thoughts SBers?

    i like how it says: this photo is for illustrative purposes only.

    toy speak for: you are getting shit no one wants and we won't even put it in the photo.

    i got some cool stuff last year, so i am going to try again.

    Is the x-ball always half full of old figures that retail stores still have for sale?

    Maybe Hiddy should read this tread and do something about the (deserved, from what I gather) bad rep his lucky bags/balls have. S7, Gargamel, Bwana et al. Don't seem to have that problem.

    I wanted to get one last year, but I didn't and the they all had RI's in them. :D I want to this year, but I have a feeling Gargamel is going to have standard size deathra's and I can't swing both.

    Decisions, decisions

    i hope it's more random this time around... last time you either got the shit version or you got the lucky version with each one identical - or pretty close to it. (unfortunately I got the shit version). oh man.. that black and orange looking pirate is so sexy!

    I am highly tempted by this. One of those pirates would be sweet. That's all I want though.

    Chances are I'd be happier with a Gargamel LB......hmmm

    No chance in hell I'd waste my money. I love some SB, but most SB sucks x-balls.

    Hahaha.
    I got burned in 2008. Never again. Pass.
    Couldn't even sell it all off.

    Nothing in that photo looks interesting or exciting.

    Same thing happened to me for those lucky bags that year. The only thing I kept was the bag itself. Fortunately I was able to sell everything, and made up almost the amount I spent.

    Been quite disappointed with Secret Base these past years, other than a few fight figs and some Pushead releases. The pirates in the pic is great, but it's too much of a gamble to get all that other shit I have no interest in instead.

    McSupersizeMe SB version is a great toy - especially any of teh clear w/guts versions - in fact its the only Ron toy done right IMO. I will happilly trade for a more "skullbrain acceptable" toy if anyone gets one of these.

    It's not that it isn't a "skullbrain acceptable" toy, it's that I don't like the sculpt. I admit the one with guts is okay but overall if I got that I'd be disappointed. As much as I want one of those pirates I just don't think I have the guts or cash to risk it.
