Big fan of Kumons and marbled Kumons (I have two!) but think the marbled ones with 3+ marbled vinyl colors look a bit too much like vomit IMO. Not to quote my cheap ass community college design educations, but "Keep it simple and stupid" (K.I.S.S.).

^ I agree with you completely that 2 color marble is still my favorite. It would be alright if the colors were all similar or if 1 was glow. Just something about the 3rd color that makes it chaos. The KISS principle is very appropriate here and is also talked about in animation by some of the 9 old men(Disney) and mainly adopted by Richard Williams.

scored my first kumon, it said does not ship to us though? so i clicked japan. if theres any trouble dennis let me know

I did the same exact thing. Didn't want to back out and lose it from the cart.

Me too, did the same thanks to your tip! Hope it goes thru!!

the ems shipping seems accurate to what it would cost to ship to the u.s. but im just guessing. hopefully it goes through

Same here dennis. Awesome drop lmk if any probs!

I fixed it, my mistake!!!! I totally missed that on the template. Sorry everyone.

Any orders made will be ok!!!!! Thank you everyone!!!!!!

The marbled ones are so fun to get as you never know exactly what it will look like. There is so much variety in how they turn out.

Awe bummer. I respected the "no shipping to the states" and backed out. Dumb me for following the rules.

I did the same.. Thought maybe it was a "japan only" release

super crazy sad I fell asleep last night... grrrrr....!!!!

I lucked out big time, seems I got my order in just in the nick of time.

Anybody hear any news about the black and white marbled shipping ?

Got this a few days ago:

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that was able to order a BW Kumon that I am delayed on shipping these out and I want to apologize for the wait. I have started shipping them out, the first wave went out yesterday and I will send the rest out soon.

Also, I would like to apologize for my error with the shipping choice, I totally overlooked the international check box! It wont happen next time.

Thank you everyone! More Kumon coming this month, Ill keep you all updated!

Sincerely,

Dennis Hamann/Shirahama Toy

^Thank you, Ben. I haven't received that email, but all sounds good.

Mine arrived yesterday, but I still have to pick it up at the PO. Keep your eyes peeled.

You're welcome Erik!
Here's my little fella...love the subtle marbling and nice header! Thank you Dennis

whoa kumons are arriving, hopefully mine arrives today

I had totally forgot I ordered this guy until it arrived in the mail the other day. It was a great surprise!

I'm surprised the Mini Zags are still available weeks after the release.. Should be receiving my Mini Zagoran any day now as well if Kumons are arriving!

Missed the package today!

My Lucky Bag:

I couldn't be happier. This one is really nice. It reminds me of my '86 Haro Sport

My Black and White:

Looks really great and has a different style black and white marble than the TAG b/w/orange version does.


I'll be posting pics in the Show Your Collection section of my Kumon collection in a few minutes as well.

Wow those are great colors on the LB Kumon! Minty! My favorite so far.

Damn that black and white marble is insane, gives it a nice visual texture.
