 Re: New Secret Base
Awesome! Nice color! hellopike wrote: I haven't opened up the PumpkinBrain and DamagedBrain from their inner bags yet, but here's what my Cherry Blossom AstroBrain looks like:  The blade arm is almost completely blue, and the head is predominently pink. I kinda wish the other arm had a bit more blue, and the brain part as well, but I know you can't choose how the plastic will swirl. That being said I really do like the idea of it being a build-a-figure. What you get is what you get! But I'm sure all the combos of complete figures will be great looking!

 Re: New Secret Base
I'm sure you can find someone to trade arms with - especially someone with just an arm

 Re: New Secret Base
Yeah, I have been contacted by someone who was willing to swap arms with me. Right now I'm content with my pull. I really do hope SB continues to do things like this, even if the cost per figure was a bit higher... Eventually folks would end up with bizarre mixed-part mashed up fighters.

 Re: New Secret Base
I will post more pics when I get home.

 Re: New Secret Base
^ ^ ^ While I did not like the three cherry blossom schemes these are absolutely awesome and well worth the three for one deal. Wish I had one.

 Re: New Secret Base
That sucks T. especially for a hardcore SB fan like yourself and it's a pink release. What I don't get is how this could have happened. I would have thought if, hypothetically, if SB made 50 of each: 50 Pumpkinbrain, 50 Damagedbrain, and 50 Skullbrain it would make sense to make 50 Astrobrains. Then any set of 3 would get the bonus. If anything they'd be left with extra Bodies and Astrobrain "Brains" from people not ordering full sets, but that would be ok- I'm sure they could have re-purposed them, used them in next years x-bag or even sold them at some point down the line (I would love to be able to buy some blank bodies to go with the extra parts I've amassed over time).. But now you've got disappointed fans. But I suppose the other side of it is that this is a hobby/market/whatever where limited availability and collect-ability is one of its cornerstones. I wonder how many of these astrobrains were successfully completed?

 Re: New Secret Base
Weren't the honey bee set a cure collab? I have it, 3 bees unassembled (with flash still attached) but I remember the stickers coming with it being like seCuret Base or something. Maybe I still have a pic. Mutonismyfriend wrote: audiodifficulties wrote: I loved the gid and mixed part DIY kits that SB did so long back. The Halloween sets that came in a clear bag?

 Re: New Secret Base
Is the Honey Bee design a collaboration with Cure or just that DIY set?

 Re: New Secret Base
I'd love to see a new honey bee. They were very underrated once the scene "blew up." Before that I paid sometimes too much cash for the little guys.
