I was about to order a skullwing horror version for toy tokyo last night when my computer died...

I woke up this morning and even though its no longer on the site it still in my cart and avaliable for purchase.

Does TT have real time invintory and if I buy I mighyt be good.

OR

Does TT over sell and this is just getting my hopes up ??

HELP I NEDD TO KNOW WAHT TO DO !!

They oversell. You're probably out of luck.

I knew this deep down

I;m going there on saturday so maybe they will have some goodies that are not on the site !!

I hope ...

They over sold the green one, but told me they still have the white.

I wouldn't count out getting a green one down the line.

I think there has been a few folks from outside Skullbrain.org picking these up and I suspect they'll pop up again in the near future, hopefully for a reasonable price.

Yea, I'm sure a bunch of the robot kids have been buying them now that Pushead is "hot". I'm sure once something new comes along they will sell them.

You might get lucky -- the stuff they have at the store in Manhattan is their own stock and not counted toward the web end.

Just got in touch with Toy Tokyo webstore and scored a white Horror version.

I'm happy

Its not the green but I'm not greedy and I wanted the white one more. I'm still a beginer so my tatse is showing I guess.


I'm heading to NY this weekend and will scavange the store for you all.

Let me kno what your looking for and I will tell you if they have it

Right on LASH. Wait 'til you get it in your hands.

O I know JP is the shit !!

I've seen it at Toy Tokyo and thats when i realized how much better it was. Then I bought my Giant mekaru kun and now JP is all i want !!

Sooooooo much better quality and has a more fun vibe !!

I'm about to sell what little western vinyl I have to begin to fund my conversion.

I'm with you on that Lash.

Over the last few weeks I've been staring at the western goods and they just don't seem to have anywhere the appeal that the JP stuff does. I recently received a bunch of BxH stuff in the mail and this sealed it for me.

The Mekura Kun is actually the thing that started this all off for me too. Frigging wicked figure!

what is it about japanese vinyl that makes the rest of it look so mediocre? I don't know, there are still some cool western vinyl figures like the doma christronaut painted versions for instance (even though they are sort of weird quality-wise) but for the most part japanese toys are just plain superior.

There are still lots of great western figures on the way. I am looking forward to the squire, foul, fatima, and even the Soto [expletive deleted].

One problem with western vinyl is there is just so much garbage being released it is hard to stay focused on the good stuff. Another problem is that most of the figures worth collecting are becoming impossible to acquire at retail because so many people are trying to get them.

That's a good question and something that I've been trying to answer for myself over the last little while.

There are quite a few figures that I have that I really like and will never part with - Tiger Babies in particular. But that being said, there is still something special about the JP stuff. I'm really new at this game so I can't really put my finger on it yet.

The other interesting thing for me is that I've never been big on the platform toy thing. It seemed strange to have the same toy simply with a plethora of differing paint jobs. Yet now I'm on the hunt for Skull Brains and it just seems so different?! I guess this is truly a case of "To each their own."
