Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
I'm on the fence. Not a big fan of Garudon but the addition of the mech head last year leads me to assume something similar in this Years bag. I've made a point to get a bag these last couple of years, other than the lucky bag its next to impossible to get any of the other releases. It's all one offs and custom paints. Being a small collector I can't drop multiple hundreds of dollars on one figure. And I know there are going to be people buying more than one bag.

Same boat here, can't afford the one-offs and I don't go to cons anyway... so Lucky Bags are definitely the way to go to get some good Gargamel goodies. I honestly love Garudan, but wasn't a huge fan of the one from last year's bag. Orange and green metallic isn't my sort of thing. The unpainted "Zodiac" color one from a few years back though... daaaamn.

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
Are these still releasing tomorrow ? Cause it's mighty quiet on the LB front. In fact , it's so quiet , I can hear Angel Abby opening their bags + checking the contents before putting them up for sale

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
^ I believe this is just the release for Japan. Retail stores in the US usually get them a few weeks later and have their own release time and date.

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
I couldn't resist trying to order from Japan. We'll see how that goes, but the opportunity to get one south of $200 is, er, enticing.

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
Hey guys! I'm new to this forum, I've been collecting designer vinyl for many years but I'm relatively new to sofubi... Any idea where I can get the gargamel bag from Japan? I'm in Australia so shipping would be cheaper... Plus under $200 or so is intriguing too!

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
So I've found a link from the gargamel webpage into the store and they have the bag for roughly $200 but when I click into it it mentions the page can't be found?
Have they sold out there already?

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
They haven't come up for sale in Japan yet, but the release is sold out to international orders. Gargamel, most likely saves the majority of their stock for domestic sales, since so many go out to international retailers. A very similar discussion took place last year.

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
I wouldn't be surprised if USA sales are limited to USA retailers, preventing online sales direct from Gargamel for USA residents?

Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 (NO Spoilers)
Last year I was able to grab a bag directly from Gargamel by emailing a few days prior...no such luck this year They were a little more than half the U.S. retailers. I also grabbed one from angel abby last year and they were significantly cheaper but this year it looks like they decided to match the U.S. price gougers so I'm forgoing them to at least try to buy local. But yea, buying direct from Gargamel is amazing and shows how much stores can make off selling us these bags (and even add shipping on lol) But Gargamel may have upped their prices this year and rightfully so.

Maybe that is why gargamel is reducing their direct selling. Could be the right thing to do too, as over time more will go direct and skip the local retailers. This is a S7 site afterall and they have a business to run. DYBBUKIM wrote: It's all secondary retailers now. I hope each bag has a standard or unpainted Zag! I think there must be zags, just don't know if its going to be standard in each bag. Fun of LB
