 Re: Anraku pulling no punches
I was hoping for newly launched Cambodia and Mamaregon, and go figure: they did come out yesterday. Too bad I was too slow to nab one  The red handpaint Cambodia is a winner for me  (pic courtesy of GT)

 Re: Anraku pulling no punches
Those 2 hand painted ones by Chris and Ainsley of Grumble Toy are nice, too rich for my blood at the moment though. They were up for a pretty fair amount of time, though. Longer than I thought they'd be at least.

 Re: Anraku pulling no punches
I managed to grab the Cambodia, it will compliment well with my vader mameragon. While the price tag on these guys is kind of high, it seems worth the value to me, considering the sheer size of the figure and detail of the sculpt. Display space is the only issue.

 Re: Anraku pulling no punches
I've been checking grumble toy like crazy, and the only time i couldnt check it it went up. i emailed them and he said everything was sold out a minute after he posted them up.

It matters plenty if you were in on it within less than a minute  Ah, the old days of stuff selling out in less than a minute, I don't miss them really all that much but it IS fun to get the rush every now and again.

 Re: Anraku pulling no punches
people have no desire to hunt stuff down anymore...gimme gimme gimme.
it gets really old. everyone is all about instant gratification.
there is something to be said for hunting down what you're looking for, and the rush that comes from it.

 Re: Anraku pulling no punches
My comment just had more to do with how things were. Used to be MOST releases were these huge rushes, but lately that's not been the case. I was just saying it was fun to get a nice crazy rush attempt in now and again, though I DO appreciate not having to ALWAYS do it. No offense jcrazy.

there is something to be said for hunting down what you're looking for, and the rush that comes from it. also i was hunting and i was searching for anraku although i didnt see the post he made on the homepage because most of GT items you have to "hunt" through the catalog to find the new releases. I thought since anraku is a big surprise i thought the release would be a big surprise, and not be broadcasted. so thats why i was checking so often and didnt check during 12 and 12:30 cst because I wasn't aware that was the time frame they were coming up. but anyways. no big deal. just wanted to let you know that i'm in for the hunt. and that its not about gimme gimme gimme for me at all.
