Hmmm, I had thought it would have been possible to buy directly from the site. Sure would have been good since I live in Australia. Buying and having things shipped from the US to Australia can be a real pain. I'm still waiting for something to arrive which was ordered back in December. It happens sometimes.

There are a few non-US retailers you could hit up.

poof!

Woah.

2016年福袋です。
大小合わせて8体,全て福袋用に成型してます。

I beg to differ!! This release was crazy - if I can remember correctly there was always stock up on the Garga site for a day or two after release in previous years.

I would say the last two years or so were exception, and it became too easy to shop for the LB. Prior to these years, the LBs are gone as soon as they come online. Dejavu time. Its good to be overseas for these bags, it is easier to score than in japan

Man, that was an unexpected rush for bags! All the overseas sites other than DDR Projects don't have their bags up for sale yet, guess they're waiting until they physically have it in their hands. I just hope everyone who wants one can get one on time. Definitely looks like demand is high this year, and I can't say I'm not surprised. Those custom shows last year were out of this world.

Their customs shows have always been amazing. That isn't a new phenomenon.

Soo true. Gargamel always brings it.

The lucky bag has just shot up on Rotofugi store... For only $260!! Just nabbed mine.

Aaaaand it's gone!

Guess it's only a matter of time before the other sites put theirs up. Wonder if the mad rush will be as... mad.




And quite true, but I think the addition of Mecha-Zag to the Standard Size roster has drummed up some extra excitement for the bags.

I'm glad I jumped - they went faster than I thought they would

Is this the year for a standard-size Thrashman? Will I ever taste satisfaction?

Oh my!! That would be so rad!!

^ A crouching action pose midi would be nice, too - ala UST's Ultraman shampooper. As long as I'm dreaming.

If I'm not mistaken I feel like rotofugi had them cheaper than other sites last year too. I wonder what's up with that.

Even better!! I'm down for anything comparable to us toys!!!

Haven't seen anything posted yet for Super7. Hope it's sometime this week. So excited for the LB this year!

Im hoping for a zodiac and nothing more on this bag.

I always get my stuff through roto. Managed to order a bag just in time.

They do save some for in-store only, so if anyone's in the area around that time.

Well - No luck for me! I hope everyone who gets one has a good time.

cool

Errr, you mean you're not participating or you didn't have any luck getting a bag? Because I'm pretty sure there are sites that haven't put theirs up yet, unless I missed it...

I tried Gargamel directly because US retailers aren't a good option for me both because of the exchange rate where I live and the usually high cost of shipping. It was a different story a couple of years ago, but buying directly from them would have been my only realistic option this time around. But it's all good, still looking forward to seeing the photos that go up.

We will have them online on Wednesday, stay tuned!
