Gaim toy thread - Who's in?

No payment request for Kurokage from HLJ

I thought they were going to start producing more AC figures at this point knowing how popular they are. Going to wait until Monday and if I don't get a payment request I'm just shipping my G2 Sideswipe and Garren.

The backup plan likely involves a second run of things and of usually wouldn't take effect until a few months into the line. I don't think toy production is quite as flexible as some other industries.

Two new AC figures and two no shows at HLJ.

Guess I'll just have to watch Mandarake and hope for the best.

Getting a cheap AC is like catching Mewtwo with anything other than a Master or Ultra Ball.

I caught my Mewtwo with a Pokeball, don't know what you're talking about

But seriously, HLJ opens preorders, can't fulfill them. AmiAmi does preorders, but they are usually under the radar. It's hard for a GIMMICK LINE. But I do enjoy them X_X

That looks crazy! Much better than your first attempt.

Man, I'm not even looking for a complete set, I just want a Gaim base form and Banana Arms.

Got in contact with my middleman, would like to clear up that the DX Kurokage and Knuckle Lock Seed Set will not be released until late September. The 6/30 date is the last day to place a pre-order on the set.

Finally got my first lock seed..and I could not have picked a more perfect one to grab.

I just wish that, like the DX version, it made the unlock/lock sounds.
