if anybody cares

$110 a pop seems kinda high to me. Seems like T2R pruducts end up in floods on KR. I think Qistory time is slowly fading out. No matter who signs the box. Just an opinion.

thats what happens when you sell 40 dollar toys with way too fancy paint jobs.

the only [expletive deleted] i still have is the orange deco plague. i like the colors on this soto alot but i wont be picking it up

Damn. Remember how cool some [expletive deleted] used to seem? I still have my biskup basics, but planning to sell almost everything else.

I sold my whole collection of 2" [expletive deleted] for like 600.00. Toy2r just started producing too many colorways and releases too quickly. The fun ended a long time ago for me with [expletive deleted]. I still have a few 8" [expletive deleted] which I love but I would trade or sell them if I could get what I thik they should be worth.

I also have a feeling (not confirmed) that Raymond has reproduced many of the [expletive deleted] sets, series, and figures that were one time limited. When a company reproduces limited edition stuff that does not sit right with me and this seemed to happen a lot woth Toy2R. Again, not confirmed, just my thinking.

Definite nope! . . . it's one platform that has never really appealed . . . and I'm glad it didn't!

And now it's frickin colourway OD!

The only [expletive deleted] I got are the Kozik camo Ox-ops and the Ledbetter Bears . . . and if a bunch more colourways show up they'll probably hit eBay for the completists $$$!

i dunno why... be@rbricks are so much cooler. i can't resist buying a box whenever i see them.

Well, it is mostly form over function ([expletive deleted] vs. bearbricks vs. [expletive deleted] vs. whatever), cuz when it comes right down to it, it is all just pieces of plastic or vinyl, in different shapes, with different paint jobs.

I really think people here get too exercised over what form the different plastic lumps take. Even our own moderators have gone so far as to call other "japanese" vinyl ugly.

A bunch of nonsense.

Mebbes tha's why I like it so much . . . ugly is something I can relate to

IMHO was never into [expletive deleted]. can never stand ripoffs from bearbricks.

which were ripoffs.

which? the concept of bearbricks?

From bears!

I'm more into artists than product forms.

[expletive deleted] didn't do all too well when it first launched in Hong Kong, TW and Japan. Then it died down and went to the US. I guess artists in the US needed a platform to get their work out there and it was a good timing for Toy2r... plus Medicom is not as approachable.

i dont care much for [expletive deleted], myself. they seem to be overpriced for what you get.

but i will say this: i am customizing an 8 inch egg [expletive deleted] right now, and i am having a blast with it. the arms on [expletive deleted] have always bugged me, so i took off the arms, filled in the holes, and now i have an egg with legs and no arms. makes for a nice "canvas" to work on

bearbricks are copied from these tiny plastic toys that came as prizes inside of chocolate eggs.

What came first? The chocolate eggs or Lego?

I think the biggest draw for the bear [expletive deleted] for myself is the slouching posture. I dig subtle and simple designs.
Just got the new Yeti last night and it's awesome.

no pix?

I never liked small [expletive deleted], but I have a nice row of the big ones, kept 10 of my faves, dumped the rest. Two colorways of the soto is probably enough, though.[/url]

Yeah, $110 seems pretty out of line for these (abut then again I've never been a fan of the [expletive deleted], so . . .)

Soto's artwork is cool, but, still and all, it's just a platform toy. Although, that said, I always thought these would be much cooler if they had a clear dome and you could actually plant stuff inside like a real terrarium.

wow, but see, that thing kicks ass. but yeah i'd pay $60 tops!

but it looks great!

also, i think lego came first, haha
