    Of course, this comes as no shock. All's you need to do is look at where the recent members post actively when they come here.
    Isn't this hypocrisy part of the problem though? Between private PMs and people bidding from the various sources, this is what is keeping it going. I wonder what the percentage of people with HS in their collections got those figures from lottery or RFSO deals. Deep pockets (even for true collectors) equate to deeper flipper gouging and support their profits.

    Yep, it was telling when 3/4 of the last Nag releases were just bought by the KR crowd to flip.

    So many idiots discovering this stuff, with 0 appreciation, 0 respect, and 0 knowledge.

    Trust me, making toys, you should see some of the emails I get. Holy shit... it's a brave new world. I could go on pointing fingers at the channels responsible for bringing on this renaissance age of Japanese toys. But we all know them already.

    Why am I not surprised? Sad. Hirota should just release a list of winners and the corresponding numbers so whoever tries a quick flip or trade flip can immediately be found out. Shame on this assturd and the people bidding on it (or again on the same douchenugget shill bidding). Never thought I'd say this, but maybe a closed list is the way to go?

    Sometimes it does seem like there is no toy justice in the world... :( It's really discouraging to miss out on a lottery or be unable to attend a show / con & then watch as a great toy I would have been proud to own gets flipped... it's like a slap to the face. .... I get mad, but then I also realize that MOST of the toys do go to true collectors & are appreciated / given good homes :D And there are a lot of great people here on SB , whose dedication, honesty & class far outshine any little wormy flippers slithering around in the dark .....

    1 out of 35(so far) isn't bad. I honestly expected more. I was happy to see so many excited people here on SB as winners.

    I'll bet there will be more flipped soon, unfortunately. These have only arrived one or two days ago. I just hope that Hirota has more new releases soon so the rest of us get another chance! Doing that will take the wind out of flippers' sails (sales?!).

    This!
    Crazy these fresh minis are even higher than classic aa minis right off the gate.
    Disappointing to see but nothing will stop resellers buying and willing buyers paying in any hobbies involving scarse collectibles.
    But these are not like its going to be the only version released, so i think buyer can take it a bit easy unless it is the colourway u absolutely must have.

    The guy that's doing it, trade/flip [expletive deleted] for fucksake.

    I just shake my head to these douchebag lame wad. So what if you make a grand out of this. How many times can you do it. There are much better ways to earn money. If you need to flip toys to make a quick buck then you're a f--king failure in life.

    Buy if you're a collector. Otherwise, stay the f--k away.

    That blows.

    I have lost all of the other lotteries and I am really happy to finally be able to score.

    I guess this time it doesnt sting as bad to watch it being out there flipped, but it still annoying and infuriating.


    I hope that dude gets his ass flamed.

    Is there a way to cut these flippers off? How did that thing with the Nags work out where buyers nick-name written on the header or something?

    At which point is HS going to follow through with his threat of cancelling overseas orders?
    Would that even get rid of the flipping? I don't think so.
    I mean he has the list with all the sellers so it shouldn't be that hard to narrow it down to a couple of dudes or bros.
    He could just send a mail a month after the sell and demand for a photo of the toys with a copy of a newspaper for date reference :D
    Inverse ransom style.

    Here's a straight up mug shop of the entire Kuroimazin set. Superb execution and the micro Zombie is amazing.

    Glad you scored. Looks like a great set.

    I would actually just be happy with the zombie and tower.

    What color sprays are on the black mini Gorilla Jyu? Is it blue AND brown spray on this body? Just wondering (and wishing I had my own!).

    It has two wounds that are a reddish brown and the shirt is sprayed in yellow (?) because it comes off as green, but its a light spray. I'd take a pic but the light does not help right now. sorry!

    Thanks guys. I'm curious about the zombie. Does anyone know the story behind it?

    @kaijufinn- nice shot. In fact all your shots are superb. Can't get crispier than that.
