im with you on this one Hank. after talking to the wife last night and trying to mentally factor my chances of getting a pirate, ( )

the juice ISN'T worth the squeeze this time im afraid.

This back and forth seems to happen every year and in the end not too many people seem to be happy with the result. The responses seem strained and coerced at best. Then in a week or so all that stuff pops up here on the BST threads... You're better off spending the $$ on a figure from Lamm or some other board member more deserving who can actually claim to have a cool sculpt and something you'll appreciate. I dig SB, but this past year has been ripe with basura in my opinion on a good day. So all anyone is gonna get is the cream of the crap.

Better to get a Yamomark x Blobpus mystery bag from Lulu (and they're less money)

Seems like an X-ball is not for the the faint of heart. Mark, if I was in Tokyo I'd be fighting it out with you for first position in line!

and Toby if you score the 18k Gold SupersizeMe I'm totally up for that trade

Check out your post count Carl!

GO TOBY!!!!

best of luck in the 18k hunt!

6666...sign of the Muton!

Got an unpainted Clear Orange RI and a GID Pus Stumpy Captain last year, plus some other "junk" that not too many people here wants...so, maybe hoping for some more luck next year.

So, bring it on!

PS: one more post and will hit the 5K mark on SB hehe...

Weird, as I thought I skipped last year but am sure I got both the same from a LB... hmmmm... my memory is shit though.
Either way, I'm testing my luck this year.

So is this a bag, or single item deal? I swear there was a comment on here saying something like you get one item for the price (I dont see it now, maybe I'm blind). I'd be pissed if I got a hat or mug or mini skeleton guy for over $100... otherwise I'm tempted.

The ones you are talking about are the lucky bags from 2008/2009.
Lucky bags usually contain more than just one toy and you have a way better chance at something exclusive.

In the X-Balls there was just one toy + random merchandise as far as I remember.
X-Balls are either awesome or (in most cases) not so awesome.

Oh oh! Can I add to the confusing disinformation too?!?!?!



It looks like there is only X Balls this year since theres no mention of bags and for the price, I would guess we are looking at a finger crossing 2-3 items.

everything in the pictures look to have been released at some point right? i think i might try if there are at least rebels in the pot, but not if they are old releases that i already have. in the pic it looks like the first release white w/black print?

The last release like this was those Xbox ones back in january last year, and those all rocked, they even had multiple toys in some, I didn't recall anyone getting burned. I remember the grab bag thingies though that were mainly a tote bag and garbage SB couldn't get rid of, a little sketchy.

Who went for it?

Guilty

Hope you score the Pirates!

Sent my email an hour late. They're sold out. If anyone gets a pirate and doesn't want it, let me know.

I sent mine but no reply yet. Maybee a good thing I just had a strut break on my car.........

I almost went for it. We shall see if I regret it or not. Marbles pirates are sick!

Did anyone get a confirmation e-mail?

Same here.. I sent it 47 minutes late.

you missed?!

i didnt go for it. after hearing all the testimony on what people got, and realizing it was a wing and a prayer to get a pirate....i just wasnt feeling the luck.

hit me up for those of yous whole pull that clear obake dog...

where is Mark with the X-Ball pix?

I'm thinking he's keeping a looooow profile to avoid a Skullbrain meltdown!
