Just saw Cronic Lucky Bag 2009 is up. Looking forward to new surprises again.

Someone please help me out!

No pics yet that I've seen. I guess it might be a week or two before they start to trickle out. This time around there's just one bag size, though, so I'm guessing we won't be seeing the huge variety we did last year.

I'll try to find out if Max Toys will be selling any this year for overseas collectors.

what's the price on the one bag?

bad timing this year...looks like I'll be sitting this one out, just like the BP...unless it's a reasonable price.

15000 yen/bag. Just one size.

The info went up on Cronic's blog Jan 2, and people had around 12 hours from that point to send an e-mail to Cronic saying they wanted one. I think the number is limited, so if too many people sent in an e-mail, names will be drawn by lottery.

Anyway, it was all limited to people living in Japan, so it's kind of a moot thing. I haven't heard if a separate overseas LB will be made available.

here's hoping for an overseas batch of Cronic LBs

this is good and bad...affordable bags, but not available...shitty.

I'll grab it and I'm glad because this is my first lucky ticket to buy
As far as I red the message from CRONIC, this bag will be dispatched after Jan 15.

Can't wait for which pieces will be churned out from the Cronic lucky bags.

Nothing?

yeah, I'm on pins and needles waiting to see some pics. I've seen nothing yet from collectors, flippers or otherwise. I was sure I'd at least see something on YJA by now.

I'm sure this just means the bags haven't been finished or gone out yet. We all know as soon as they hit the streets that pieces will be up on yja...no actual collectors are able to buy Cronic at retail anymore...

as always I'll be hoping for the castoffs as well...

Oh I always like to see Cronic LB one offs. I wonder what it'll be like this year.
I wish RealxHead can do some, it'll definitely help Mori pay for the shop costs.

Naoki-san is getting out of shape now and LB 2009 is delayed.

what?!?

seems not so serious but dispatch-date is now end of Jan. He/CRONIC released *HOT* items a lot recently so it may be good for him to take a rest. Of course, I hope for his recovery soon.

I'm still looking forward to how it will be. I can wait with excited until the day I received it so the delay is not a big problem for me

Congratulations. You win the award for most annoying animated avatar.

I've been staring and laughing at it for a minute.

Too fucking funny. I guess he needs to bulk up to carry everything to the post office?

...but the crane is the most powerful animal in karate-kaiju-world (KKW)

I am expecting cool figs...but not Black Parade cool figures--from the 2009 Cronic LB...well, still hoping for a miracle.

I think we can wait and hope to see pics after the last week of January.

It's unexpected I made it with picking up the image from my favorite game
I'll be like him when I miss to get my wanted figures

Thanks for all the info, Kaz.

kaz, i cannot stop laughing

I guess Kaz means Naoki was sick?

Most of the time, Kaz's posts are super clear. I wish my Japanese were as good as Kaz's English!
