No bag for me this year. I wasn’t happy with last year’s bag, plus I really shouldn’t be spending that kind of money right now. Maybe I’ll end up trading for something I really like? (yes I’m alive, facing some bad times but alive)
Since I got lucky on a Gargamel custom this year , I’m opting out of getting a lucky bag. also, my luck is only so so when it comes to that stuff anyways.
I'm hoping for an exciting, all new standard size figure. That's the rumor, as I mentioned in the other LB thread. Not etched in stone, but one can dream.
I've never been disappointed. It's like buying a lottery ticket, the hopes and dreams of what might come is worth the price. The difference is that with a gargamel lucky bag your guaranteed a prize. If you don't like it that's on you, you can always sell or trade it here.
I love the excitement, the anticipation. I love seeing what everyone gets. I love seeing what people end up keeping. I don't have a job, and haven't since my motorcycle accident and should not be buying them, but I'll never miss one again- so long as i'm alive. Its just too much fun and I love sharing it with you guys. I usually end up selling most of the bag contents but treasure the bits I keep. I hope Gargamel benefits from this and continues to do them for years to come.
I always kind of hope I get a lucky bag and the whole zodiac set is in it. I'm setting myself up for a huge let-down ...but really, I just hope there's a lot of fully painted pieces and people are happy with what comes.
Gargamel is what brought me to sofubi and is why I stay. The excitement of not knowing what I'm gonna pull, or trading with other collectors is all apart of the bag for me. Like my good friend once said, "You miss every shot you dont take" Maybe the one year I dont score a bag is the one year I would of gotten a miborah, ya never know.
I'm undecided... Last couple of years the bags have been a bit underwhelming.. wish Gargamel would offer more variety = micro runs , etc. and I feel it's waaaay past time to offer a blank GID guts Mecha- zag and / or Mecha-miborah. Not everyone can go to a show in Japan or Dcon , so offering them in the bags is the only chance many people have to get one. But realistically , here's hoping that Deathras make a welcome return this year! Good luck to everyone!
Do Mechas have organic guts? Just asking. But colorful GID guts, say echoes of 2006 LBs, would be cool. Scaled up Smogun would be amazing IMO. hope pray dream.
Not to mention the lowest you can go on those guts figures at Dcon will cost you 500 or more per figure. I avoid them. That's to much cash to plunk down on one toy all the time.
Bwana mentioned both the new figure (actually getting to see it) and ordering the bags so I'm taking that as a yes!
Yeah , they are usually $500-$800 , but that's for fully painted signed one-offs. All I'm saying is it wouldn't kill Gargamel to offer a few blank ones in the LB...
Ugh, you guys are now making me doubt my decision! Maybe I will indeed buy one and just deal with a possible “I only like one thing in the bag” situation. Gargamel is what got me hooked on sofubi, my first figure was a GID LB Zagoran. Still love them... and I do love surprises.
Found this online for the 2020 bags. Wasn’t sure if it was posted. “This years bags feature 2 Standard size figures, 1 middle size figure, 1 mini figure and 2 micro figures. “
That actually really excites me, I love so many of their other mini/medium sculpts! Wonder what they could be? EDIT: What have you all done to me? I just preordered. I’m weak.
This is the reason I preordered despite being somewhat underwhelmed by last year’s bags. I’m excited to see something other than vendor bots.
So you, and everyone else, probably wants a bag filled with these...or zags....or even solid arms/legs with guts bodies. Even if this is a rarity or a 1 off, I'd love to see it in a bag. This is a pic I came across on IG. Not mine...but I can hope.
I have a glow deathra that has a clear body and glow guts. It’s from a while back. View this post on Instagram
I bought 1 of 2 bags left at Dragatomi back in the day and Gatchabert pulls out a mibora clear pink.... blind bags have never been super lucky but enjoyed the few i got
