    ^ ^ ^ While I did not like the three cherry blossom schemes these are absolutely awesome and well worth the three for one deal. Wish I had one.

    That sucks T. especially for a hardcore SB fan like yourself and it's a pink release. :?

    What I don't get is how this could have happened. I would have thought if, hypothetically, if SB made 50 of each: 50 Pumpkinbrain, 50 Damagedbrain, and 50 Skullbrain it would make sense to make 50 Astrobrains. Then any set of 3 would get the bonus. If anything they'd be left with extra Bodies and Astrobrain "Brains" from people not ordering full sets, but that would be ok- I'm sure they could have re-purposed them, used them in next years x-bag or even sold them at some point down the line (I would love to be able to buy some blank bodies to go with the extra parts I've amassed over time).. But now you've got disappointed fans. But I suppose the other side of it is that this is a hobby/market/whatever where limited availability and collect-ability is one of its cornerstones.

    I wonder how many of these astrobrains were successfully completed?

    Weren't the honey bee set a cure collab? I have it, 3 bees unassembled (with flash still attached) but I remember the stickers coming with it being like seCuret Base or something.
    Maybe I still have a pic.

    Is the Honey Bee design a collaboration with Cure or just that DIY set?

    I'd love to see a new honey bee. They were very underrated once the scene "blew up." Before that I paid sometimes too much cash for the little guys.

    The last honey bee (I think it was the last) the yellow green with green sprays is a beauty. One of my favorite SB toys. Amazing little toys. Articulated wings and feet. Would love some new ones too.

    I don't remember that one, I was thinking the last one was the white with red and black sneaker related release. But I could be forgetting. Either way it would be great to see some new ones.

    Pretty sure he has clear green wings, and a bright yellowish/green body, with subtle darker green spray on the body. He was nearly identical to the previously released yellow/green honey bee, with the sprays being the only major difference.

    Yes, this guy. Very subtle darker green sprays on the body. [​IMG]
    I'll try and remember to take a better picture tonight. Is this the only painted honey bee release?

    I know all of the first ones were unpainted. I don't think I actually own a painted one.

    Maybe late to the game on this, but maybe it will be helpful to some people out there. I was pretty disappointed to miss the collab Charlie Brown skeleton figure on SB. You had to buy a Peanuts collab t-shirt to purchase it. So I just started searching around on Google and they are actually made by Forever Fun, they are not a Secret Base toy or collaborative figure, and are widely available in the $10-20 range across amazon, ebay and other online stores. Just thought I'd share if any one else missed out and would still like to pick one up.

    I wish they would make a Deka Skullbrain to go with the Deka Skullbees...
