Tomorrow Kings General discussion

Papamado, i think u r correct, hve been refreshing bamba for days n still no drop. I think maybe 3A can be a little more caring of their fans and let them know early whether they will drop during the show or after. No fun to make their fans spend tkme checking when they don't i tend to drop the pdt in bamba. Not sure is this impression of not bothering about fans that i see so many fans giving up collecting 3A

Yeah, what happened?

Fuu & Chu is up on bamba (premade)

Damn, not there now, must have just missed them, will there be any more? Were they up for long? And how much?

My bet 1 minute up and gone. Link?

That's quite disappointing news

No, it`s part of the fun of collecting 3A!

It surely has good reasons to limit a preorder (not premade) to a few minutes drop, that 90% can`t catch...

Chances were small in the first place but now it's zero chance. Disappointing that I've been f5ing the past few days and and see that it's not around the usual time things usually drop. Oh well is all I can say I guess

It's pre made, also will be pre order version, not a big deal
this new strategy makes people want everything, lol/

I can care less about blister anyway :p i am 100% in a preoder boxe to be fair i am in mind change i throw away all the box even if they are nice. I keep the toy, the thing you can actualy have fun with

A bit of advice.  These premade/limited figures are really a selling strategy.  To rile up the want in potential customers.  To get you excited.  Basically like massaging the wanker to put it in crude terms.  In the end though when all is said and done and you've got the figure in hand that you've been wanked around to buy, you'll be climaxed out so to speak and there's no guarantee you'll even like the figure enough once in hand to keep it around long term.  

I'm cool, just give me a WWR fix, when is Deeds #4 on sale? And when is Deeds #3 shipping?
Wrong thread I know but I don't care.

Every sale that goes down like this reminds me why I really no longer care. Carrots dangled while being left in the dark- then they mysteriously drop and are snatched up by what always seems to be the same folks...the thrill is gone. Unless you live in Asia- toy collecting is vexing at best- I really don't buy anything from 3A anymore as my seed money feeds Asian exclusives and elitist drops- too many hoops for products with constant issues and snail like turn around...at the start of 16 I will sell off the majority of the items I've purchased and will close the door on this chapter of collecting...

Au revoir, Crem buddy. It's been fun hanging out with you on these forums if we don't see you around here anymore. Good times. Don't know if I'll be around myself much longer. Definitely need to trim my collection as well. But I think I'll still enjoy the occassional figure here and there. Companies are just going to have to work a lot harder for me to buy their stuff.

Pre order up

it's up

Still up. Was the first batch a pre made batch and this is a preorder batch?

yes

Thanks to 3A to hve both premade n preorder so that the joy can be shared all round. Cheers

So cool , yea , big thanks to Ash that we can buy it easely . On ebay it would cost much money ;/

Seeing Crem and Chivo jump ship makes me a sad panda.

Sorry BPP.  I'm a bit sad myself everytime I see a long time member leave.  It's bitter sweet for me.  I know things change.  Such is life.  I wish 3A would have been more in touch with it's forum customers these past few years, but hey it's their company and they're doing what they need to do.  On my end, my collection has reached it's breaking point so I'll need to trim it down to the ones I really can't part with. I'll probably still be around, but more on the sidelines.  I think this year's membership package will be a determining factor as to what the future holds for my 3A collecting days. I'm no longer trying to be lured in by marketing schemes like "limited/premade" figures, but trying to hold out for figures that have new and interersting designs.  
Anyways, I'm trying to keep it positive on my end as I slowly pull away.
Here's a song that's on my mind today and really captures my outlook on things:

Hey, don't leave without me! I'm just into Star Wars at the moment. And Macross...

As long as you keep posting images of your acquisitions, I'll be here to see it.
