I'm a bit mixed on the Dark Gaim lockseed set, mostly because they're candy toys....plus I don't really want the oren lockseed. Also it's kinda odd that a candy toy set is a premium release.

I'd gladly take the Oren Lockseed off your hands. Also, they're Candy Toys? Did not know that.

They're not Candy Toy, they're gashapon.

Oh my bad sorry, well then still gashapon, they still don't have the spring mechanic and lack some features though so it's a bit odd they're premium releases.

Well, given the time they'll be released, Drive will be the new gimmick out, so it's most likely that they're focusing their resources on that. So, it'd be much easier for them to just reuse the cheaper Gashapon models rather than the DX versions.

I thought they'd be bigger.

Anyone get their refund from CSToys for the Premium Bandai lock seeds? I see they refunded about 20 of the 92 pre-orders but haven't done anything since Tuesday. Can't find an ETA on when the rest will be refunded.

I am kind of bummed that I'm not getting these seeds but I'm kind of done with Toku collecting at the moment so it's not too bad (plus I already have a candy toy version of Kurokage's lock seed...just need to get a Knuckle one and I'm pretty much done).

Can some one answer this question for me....? Because I am so lost.

So the DX Walnut and Pinecone lock seeds set were announced a long time ago, has any stores put up pre-orders for them? Because they're are due for release next month or are stores such as CStoys just not going to carry them? Or did I jsut miss out on pre-orders...?

Pre-orders have long since come and gone for those. In the case of CStoys, they borked their orders and inadvertently ended up screwing customers out of both this DX set and the Sid Lock Seed. The secondary market is the only option now, methinks.

Blarg.... There goes my luck of having fun with the Walnut lockseed.
