Bite the bullet! They're still available? Hmmm... I just can't pony up that kind of cash these days. But yeah, I'm not holding out any hope that someone's gonna let the bonus figure go - still, had to be "that guy"!

 Re: New Secret Base
 The blank Astro Brain is awesome!! What a great surprise! I don't think any collectors would get rid of the Astro Brain. I am sure some will pop up on the usual auction sites though.

 Re: New Secret Base
I am excited. I went with all three. I love the astrobrain! And I'll be "that" guy and say: if anyone who ordered just one or two of the three doesnt want their unpainted limbs or bug head- drop me a pm! I'd be glad to take them off your hands.

 Re: New Secret Base
Wow! It's like a revamp of the classic Project 1/6 Brain. A clear outer head would have been amazing, but can't complain about the bonus figure.

 Re: New Secret Base

 Re: New Secret Base
Can someone with a better grasp of the Japanese Language than Google translate Hiddy's latest blog entry? http://blog.livedoor.jp/secretbase_toy/ ... 90356.htmlI know it has to do with the Cherry Blossom figures, but I'm wondering what its saying exactly about the bodies and in-store purchases. thanks!

 Re: New Secret Base
I hope that I am reading this incorrectly, but it sounds like they ran out of full sets of the Astro Brain and are just giving out parts piecemeal.

 Re: New Secret Base
From that I understand through translation it just says that people who came into the store were able to pick out the parts themselves... don't see anything about certain parts running out. hope this helps

I was the first in the shop and bought all 3. The Brain and Mummy each came in a sealed blind/black bag with an extra unpainted arm for the Astro Brain. The Pumpkin was also sealed and I assume was supposed to contain the head piece, but mine didn't have anything. I contacted SB and they sent me a replacement piece. I received an extra bag with the Astro Brain piece and the body after I purchased all three figures. I would assume it would be that way for everyone.....time will tell.

 Re: New Secret Base
It is very possible my interpretation of crappy translations is not very good. marks post should clear things up a bit.

 Re: New Secret Base
Not that I know anything but it would seem that you would need to buy all 3 at once cause I doubt they want to try to keep track of people who buy one piece then another later on. Makes sense to me

 Re: New Secret Base
This is an email that I got from Secret Base.... Quote: The unpainted head is in limited supply and is presented on a first-come-first-served basis. That was no information.
I can't answer a question like that now. I'm sorry. We are taking this action to be fair with all other requests from customers. We appreciate your understanding.
The unpainted head is just bonus. I ordered the Skullbrain (already shipped) and went back and ordered the other 2. When I ordered the other 2, I asked about this since I placed 2 different orders.
