    Whoa... throwback... that pic was taken at the old Super7 in SF’s Japantown. Too bad one-offs are not in bags anymore!

    Got my two bags today. And both were the same except the micros. At least both are painted Zags. So pretty stoked about that. :D:D

    Evolution of the mecha zag. The lucky bags might not be as sweet as in the past but gargamel’s zag love is appreciated

    my first year procuring a ggml lucky bag was 2012 and this guy hooked me for life:
    [​IMG]2012 Gargamel lucky bag Deathra, painted by ra berthold, on Flickr

    i don't know if i've gotten anything quite as special since then, but i've always been happy with my bag. i'm loving 3 out of the 4 biggies this year, but only because unpainted GID has never really done much for me. a historic retrospective of lucky bags over the years would be incredible...i'm guessing 50+% of that could be compiled from past skullbrain threads.

    My lucky bag has been at my local post office since Tuesday but I can’t get to it because of the snow.

    This is killing me :)

    Haha I would but the post office is shut. I’d need to break in to get them (although if it’s closed tomorrow that may become the plan!)

    I think it again comes down to production costs. A clear with guts glow garudan would have been amazing, but would have def raised the costs. I think collectors forget about the cost of molds, multiple vinyl colors, multiple parts, etc. 3/4 if this bag were new or relatively new sculpts/molds. Between arm and head variants, bot variants, and a new bot, we are lucky the cost didn’t increase. And I think very few of us would be willing to pay more for the bags. A custom painted guts is typically $450-$650 these days. With Gargamel not really putting out regular releases, there’s not much income other than customs, so I wouldn’t expect them to lose that kind of money by throwing them in lucky bags, or even saturating the market with guts figures. I would save them for the customs too if overall production was so much lower. But it doesn’t hurt to dream!
