 Re: New Secret Base Kevlo9 wrote: living dead wrote: I think it's just a carry over from SDCC. I hope this isn't the new norm..... No kidding...$92 + shipping for a "new" fight figure is pretty steep. Still a very nice Skullbrain!! It has a lot of bells and whistles that rack up the $$$ (GID marbling, tampo, paint app, squishee brain, header, run size). Also, the pic on Secret-B is deceptive . . . the blue shorts and cuffs are actually the same neutral grey used in the marbling of the OG SDCC version.

Re: New Secret Base Looks good, although I prefer the SDCC colors. So you say the cuffs and shorts on this version are actually grey and not teal/green?
And is it white/gid marble? If I have money after the pk/MVH show tomorrow I'll try to pick this up.

Guess, I've never used that word before a long time ago...I know because I use is a lot. The new SBrains are great...but not the price. I like the use of the Mantis arms.

Re: New Secret Base Nobody in the Japan area is reporting of the sale? the site says if you bought over 15,750 yen worth of items, including items on sale, you'd be ablle to get a special prize (not for sale) the translation isn't that good so im not sure, if u get a chance to perhaps pull from a bag, and if u pull lets say the right paper, then u get the prize? I'm thinking the prize is the pink/blue unpainted Rebel Captain that is posted on their site, but haven't seen any kind of info of anybody taking part in the sale/chance.
It sucks that this offer is only available in the store :/

Re: New Secret Base mildew180 wrote: I noticed that Rebel Captain. Is that flesh and blue? Those colors look great. pink and a grayish-blue maybe? from what I heard, this RC is avail either by in store lotto, or if you spend 16k yen in store you might have a crack at getting one. im sure living dead will chime in with the factual report at some point

Re: New Secret Base I wish it was open to mail orders also. I have a friend in Japan that usually visits Secret Base when he is in Tokyo. hopefully he has some good news for me soon.
