 Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 Thread (Spoilers)
I agree with Brian back there. collecting takes patience and a focus. if you want everything under the sun youre going to end up hoarding and missing the point of curating to your tastes.
I basically buy these bags in hopes of a Zodiac and the awesome Dethras.
Give it time and it will pop around here for a decent price.

Jesus, I wouldn't kick the Mecha Zag out of my collection but that Mecha Mibora is so incredibly perfect.

No one said Gargamel owes you a Mecha-Zag. Either you get it from them their way or you don't. It's pretty simple.

I am not saying anybody owes me anything, but when you make a sculpt, make it available or it might as well not exist. It's pretty simple.

 Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 Thread (Spoilers)
It's just my opinion man. I'm not asking for your advice on how to collect. I can love my country and not agree with how it is run, just like I can love my toys and not agree on how they are sold. Doesn't mean the fight ever ends...

 Re: Gargamel Lucky Bag 2016 Thread (Spoilers)
The bag was $300 for 2 standard figures, 1 medium, 3 mini/pockets, 2 micros. That speaks for itself. Gargamel made Mecha Zag a very common standard in this year's bag. They didn't have to, they could have left it a canvas for one-offs for their shows. They didn't. I think they were very generous to make this sculpt available for so many people.
I make an effort to save up my money specifically for a Lucky Bag, because I know it's the best chance I have of getting a standard figure that I like and can afford. If I don't like what I get, I can trade for something I do like. And that's that. I don't know what more there is to discuss.
All I know is that we should get back to the photos, because this is getting a bit ugly.

Well said, I feel like this vent can go to another thread, I didn't score a lucky bag this year either, but I find just as much joy in checking out what everyone got in their bag, so on with the pics! Haha good vibes from here on out
