 Re: New Secret Base
Looks good, although I prefer the SDCC colors. So you say the cuffs and shorts on this version are actually grey and not teal/green?
And is it white/gid marble? If I have money after the pk/MVH show tomorrow I'll try to pick this up.

 Re: New Secret Base
Nobody in the Japan area is reporting of the sale? the site says if you bought over 15,750 yen worth of items, including items on sale, you'd be ablle to get a special prize (not for sale) the translation isn't that good so im not sure, if u get a chance to perhaps pull from a bag, and if u pull lets say the right paper, then u get the prize? I'm thinking the prize is the pink/blue unpainted Rebel Captain that is posted on their site, but haven't seen any kind of info of anybody taking part in the sale/chance.
It sucks that this offer is only available in the store :/

Those colors look great. pink and a grayish-blue maybe? from what I heard, this RC is avail either by in store lotto, or if you spend 16k yen in store you might have a crack at getting one. im sure living dead will chime in with the factual report at some point

Lol it "sucks" that they give customers who walk in and spend money in their brick and mortar store a chance at something fun? yeah...bad business practice

 Re: New Secret Base
I wish it was open to mail orders also. I have a friend in Japan that usually visits Secret Base when he is in Tokyo. hopefully he has some good news for me soon.
