Its exciting to read everyones scores as they open there blind bags. Especially with the prospects of getting a nice custom. Unfortunatley I didn't even go there. Saving my $$$ for another early 08 release Best of luck all!!
This is the 2006 large size Lucky Bag. In it you were guaranteed a minimum of one large size painted figure, and at least one other painted figure in it. In this case, it was the painted Unchi-kun. There were also two colors on the gachamecha, three coors on the unchi and painted and unpainted of all the large bags. I think we got 5 of these big bags that year. They were expensive, somewhere between 350 and 500 but my memory is failing and giving me comflicting prices.
The bag I got that year was the size below this. It had 2 standard size (1 painted, 1 unpainted), 1 painted mini, 1 gacha and 1 unchi-kun. It cost around $200-250. Don't remember the exact price. I think there were five sizes that year.
Oh yeah, I found this pic of the 06 offerings. All killer. That glow hedoran set is one of my all time favorites.
Oh if anyone has that hawaii hedoran, please contact me and we can work out a trade or sale. Such a great shot!!! Like grandpa/grandma family shot.
I still want that unpainted pink standing Hed. from last year... and about 6 or 7 (minimum) from that pic. of the '06 LB... what happened this year? seems a lot different... I did score a Koji painted mini-bak in mine...which was cool...4/10...made up for the fact that the majority of the others are sculpts I don't collect...not so lucky for me...
I was hoping for a large Zag in this Bag as well, considering the cost.... There were some cool releases that would have really rocked as unpainted versions for a lucky bag...there was the clear pink vinyl based HMV Zag, the clear glow from the recently released yellow version, and the crystal clear from the SDCC version.....so 3 that come to mind. To me, the selection of minis for these Lucky Bags is a bit weird....considering the minis released at SDCC especially. I was kinda hoping for an unpainted mini clear green tetran or unpainted mini clear purple bergalon....or even an unpainted mini GID Zag....
Seems like it's a chance to do some of the weird sculpts that most people don't like. Kind of a treat for the hardcore fans, but I didn't make the investment since I only collect a few of their sculpts. The hedoran is great though! I'm glad they haven't given up on that figure.
Just for the completests in the house: This shot is missing the red unchi kun with silver spray, the red unpainted unchi kun, the blur thrashman from the previous pic, an unpainted black mini zagoran, unpainted black deathra, painted deathra, unpainted glows of all three mini hedorans, unpainted large blue zagoran, and I believe an unpainted of the other baikn. The $1000 bag had it all and I even think a one-off in each one!
Wasn't there also a black unpainted Gachadokuro w/ clear hand and a clear Gachadokuro with a chrome red inner parts? I've seen one and heard rumors of the second.
That Zag (the blue/green one with the red eye) was painted by one of the guys from M1go. Sorry, his name escapes me right now. I got one in the aftermath that year. It's still one of my faves.
