No, I understood what you were offering!

Really? October toys will make more black? Kind of kills the exclusivity of them.

If a guy wanted to get some made in colors that were produced for LRG, Onell, UofM and Roto, would they make them?

Only Kickstarter collectors are supposed to be able to order them (damn thread is too long to find any posts about this at the moment) so I wouldn't call it "killing" their exclusivity, but more would be floating around when it happens. More importantly, going into this line worrying about whether your toys remain "special" or not is a terrible way to view a toyline made by and for collectors. You won't see me crying foul just because 50 more dudes out there also own black sets. THE HORROR.

EDIT: If you mean the actual donator requesting more sets, they'd have to pay to get more done, but I suppose in theory it's possible. I don't think just anyone would be able to drop the case to get their own sets using the same color, but I don't know! You'd have to ask George. I'm sure the answer would be a resounding NO while stores are still offering the sets, of course.

I'm not too worried about there being more sets made.
Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not bashing Oct. Toys or you.
I just wonder what the ground rules are.

What does get me is they were made specifically for KS donations.
They were billed as "exclusive"
If you made the donation or donated twice you got 1 or 2 sets, why do you need more?
A guy should have donated more if they wanted more.
You've already stated you'd "help" another guy out who didn't donate.
What would stop a guy from ordering 50 sets and reselling them on the eBay?

EDIT: I'm all for getting these into as many hands as possible. It would be goood for the line as a whole. But not by dumping more of the same "exclusive" color figs into circulation.

In regards to the scarcity of the black figures, my guess would be based on how many people contributed at Kickstarter to get a black set, that there are 2-3 times as many black ones as there are the other exclusive colors.

On re-running the greens, I certainly won't be ordering more greens, but when things settle down I am definitely going to try to get another exclusive color of Series 1 made for this site. I guess that depends on how S2 pans out and if we will have the same "200 sets in a special color" option for that.

Yaaay!

So, I am still awaiting:
-My flesh and black (two sets of eatch)
-One LRG set (I mistakenly ordered one when I meant two, so itacked on a second)
-My second UofM set (ordered two at once, both shipped separately, though)
I have two of Rotofugi and Onell - the idea is two of each colorway.

[jkaris]

Beautiful!

[Scar1321]

Got my blue set today!

Here's my collection so far:



The blue bag was ripped when I got it, so it gave me a good excuse to rip it the rest of the way and now they're loose!!!



Still waiting on my yellow set, though.

Is it just me or are these MOTU colors?



I'm a huge MOTU fan, so I might be just seeing things.

[jkaris]

Yep,

Clawful, Beastman, Greyskull, Skeletor and (was supposed to be) Faker.

[Scar1321]

Same here. Both bags were ripped for me. Ah well.

Too funny mate! Love this pic.

Don't be afraid of the dark. It's not the dark that kills you.
