I'm saying right now (unless it magically blows me away) if I get and orange (You reading this Hiddy?) I am sticking it in my drawer and moving it on to to one else.

what? I'm betting you will get the Orange. You don't like it?
I bet if the Orange was the rare one every one would covit it.

never been big on orange, and since I got rid of my S7/Misfits set, I'm even less fussed.
Rare means very little to me.
I got rid of my orange RI and that was rare.

It's all about the aesthetics.

That's not completely true (tho your right to some degree) the hp's are orange... I'm w backtrack, orange is meh (sorry S7). I like translucent orange better but still not my favorite. If these were black or white I'd be dying.

You know my thoughts on rare chase bagmen all too well LD . . . it must be a Brit thing!

BTW . . . you still got any of the last bunch of surplus Bagmen left over?

No, sorry, they all have new homes.

I have an illness to collect everything. I have been seeing a counselor and think I'm actually doing a lot better. Just not with the Bagmen

Hi, my name is Jean-Luc, and I'm a completist too

Well that was a complete waste of money.

stupid orange toys

I read the Orange is the Tokyo release and the Blue is an Osaka release, but I'm not sure where in Osaka? I think at the shows? I guess I also read the Black was a show release? I WANT A BLACK ONE!!!!! Will buy or trade PLEASE!!!!!

Since the last blind bag release of these showed bag men that weren't actually in the bag there was no reason to get any since the lucky folks tend to stay lucky on these releases.

Passed on this release easily.

Better to buy a variant on the secondary market for the same amount as three and actually get a cool figure.

well, that release came in opened because you could get lucky and get one with a sticker to win an additional figure (seems logical as you're shipping back & forth from japan)

really? you passed on it because you didn't think you'd get a chase?? I like these blind bagged releases as the regular figure usually looks pretty awesome & if i get a chase, it's the icing on the cake (& it's also cool to see what other people get since there are alot of variations)

Passed as the regular release is extremely lackluster. The way the last blind bags were released insured no purchase on this wave, not getting fooled twice. Were there any blues or blacks received from SB yet.

still think it's odd why you think you're getting fooled. anyways, yeah... i guess if all you wanted was a black or blue, wait for the secondary market. i bought two of these, i just hope they're both different - crossing fingers for a drippy.

gets boring if everything you want is too easy to get

I would love to follow your lead, but I am forever optimistic and forever let down, but that' life, ain't it?
Plus blind bags are fun, even if I don't like what I got, I got a couple days of mini excitement followed by a few minutes while I let the box sit on my desk teasing me until the I get to anxiously open it, all hoping.
It's all in the fun.
I don't get xmas gifts anymore, so nothing to unwrap, save for the occasional blind bag from SB. and yay! it's toys!

Yah but don't picture black, blue, and orange if only orange toys are in the bags. Happened before and it looks like its the same deal. Rather not be buying blinds of this release under those circumstances.

Agreed Backtrack except several pieces of coal is almost worse than nothing.

can i recommend a book?

Old adages are preferable when money's at stake and there's past business dealings that led to expensive disappointment.

"Once bitten twice shy" is far more appropriate here.

If I'd liked the basic orange version I would have been in like a shot but I could live without it and have a suspicion that Hiddy will have something cooking to make for an expensive October . . .

I really agree with this. I'm happy I got a drip and a White bag with Black splatter, but if I had no chance of a Black or Blue one, why post a picture of all three??

Or better yet post all of the (so we know what's out there), but say where they are available.

The orange Bag Man provides a terrific base for drip and splatter variants. I got a drip off YJA actually.

The standard orange is just too similar to the S7 black and orange release, if a near twin hadn't been released awhile ago I'd be less hostile to this black and orange. S7's was better so it seems too much like an unnecessary retread.

Standard issue Orange & White bag splatter for me - all is well.

No need to complain. I ordered two and here's what I got:

oh snap! (a bonus figure?)

So is that the black or the blue?
(Not fair just showing the black bag!)
