    Big fan of Kumons and marbled Kumons (I have two!) but think the marbled ones with 3+ marbled vinyl colors look a bit too much like vomit IMO. Not to quote my cheap ass community college design educations, but "Keep it simple and stupid" (K.I.S.S.).

    ^ I agree with you completely that 2 color marble is still my favorite. It would be alright if the colors were all similar or if 1 was glow. Just something about the 3rd color that makes it chaos. The KISS principle is very appropriate here and is also talked about in animation by some of the 9 old men(Disney) and mainly adopted by Richard Williams.

    I did the same exact thing. Didn't want to back out and lose it from the cart.

    The marbled ones are so fun to get as you never know exactly what it will look like. There is so much variety in how they turn out.

    Got this a few days ago:

    Hi Everyone,

    I just wanted to let everyone know that was able to order a BW Kumon that I am delayed on shipping these out and I want to apologize for the wait. I have started shipping them out, the first wave went out yesterday and I will send the rest out soon.

    Also, I would like to apologize for my error with the shipping choice, I totally overlooked the international check box! It wont happen next time.

    Thank you everyone! More Kumon coming this month, Ill keep you all updated!

    Sincerely,

    Dennis Hamann/Shirahama Toy

    I'm surprised the Mini Zags are still available weeks after the release.. Should be receiving my Mini Zagoran any day now as well if Kumons are arriving!

    I couldn't be happier. This one is really nice. It reminds me of my '86 Haro Sport

    Looks really great and has a different style black and white marble than the TAG b/w/orange version does.


    I'll be posting pics in the Show Your Collection section of my Kumon collection in a few minutes as well.

    Damn that black and white marble is insane, gives it a nice visual texture.
