Wow nice to actually see the product, and that they all three come with the spinning dice, though I was kind of hoping these would come in the box like the other 3-packs. Amazon.jp still has them set as pre-orders on the 27th, so I suppose they'll be on sale within the next few hours or so. They're only $15 with free shipping on Amazon so I'll be getting mine there, but if anyone wants to pick up this from Tokyo Hobby it's currently down to the last one so I'd act fast.

Thanks for the heads-up guys! I grabbed the last one that was available (for now, anyway). I bought my kangaroo from this seller and they were great so I'm glad this is coming from them as well. Really looking forward to these figures, every picture I see of them makes me like them more.

Also, just an FYI: tfsource has some Beast Saga stuff discounted right now, including the card scanners at $6.00 each. Its a good chance to grab stuff you may be missing!

Tomy Takara announced some new events, looks like they are organised together with Saikyo Vjump, where some exclusive figs/cards (Secret Color) and other items can be won or found.

And although these events seem to be sheduled for May 3th till May 6th the first pics concerning this promotion showed up on Twitter.

Guess its a matter of time before we'll get the pics of these figures and if they are similar to the previous promo figs like the Hamster, Deer and Pirhana.

[Louk]

Those look more like the mini-figures that come with the bases rather than fullsize promo figures

[Undrave]

Yeah, looks like Jipuroto figures in secret colors.

I'm surprised they don't sell blind bags or something of those Jipuroto figures. That way you could bolster your army without having to by a bunch of base and vehicle. It would be easy to jam two or three in a small foil bag and sell them for cheap. Kids who like the Jipuroto stuff would be all over it.

Snakas already posted a pic of those new promo figures.

three tiny Jipuroto figures in a baggie make for a very unimpressive promo o.o

LOL that's what I thought so I hoped the poster was wrong........

[ersico]

i just bought that set after reading your post.....im in love with that shark!

[JonnyPac]

Any word on US release via TFS/BBTS of the 3-pack?

[vaal]

New pre-orders up at BBTS...

[Undrave]

Sweet! New stuff! I wonder what's this Super Winning stuff...is that like the deck of a kid who won some championship??

[cowbattlebeast]

Nothing new, figure wise. Lame...

Yeah, that's unfortunate. I know there's a lot of fans of the clear figs, but I'm looking for some new sculpts.

[Undrave]

Yeah I'm still looking forward to the new stuff. Maybe for the fall season? I hope they're not giving up on the line o.o

I doubt they'd give up on it so soon.  It seems to be doing pretty well from what I can tell.  I'm hoping that they are just releasing the remaining clear versions of figures that haven't shown up yet (dog, parrot, etc) and then starting in the Fall maybe begin releasing the new sculpts.  The other figure packs will probably be a pass for me as I imagine them having special dice or something game related that doesn't interest me.

 

I got my "Black" 3-pack a few days ago and I love the metallic paint apps on the characters as well as the new cards.  I was a little disappointed that they didn't include weapons or shields with the figures, but I have enough extras that it isn't a big deal.  Also, the dice have the spinning gimmick, but for some reason the orca's picture only shows up on the spinner and not on one of the larger sides.  Kind of weird, but oh well.  Pretty cool set.

Yeah, I don't think there's any reason to think this is true. If anything, all these extra products point to the line doing really well. They can milk the products they have with new versions until sales of those & the originals slow down, then release new figs with the second season of the show, or the Fall or whatever.

Sounds cool enough! Any word if those will be on BBTS? Where did you order yours? Should we start hitting ebay for these?

I got mine from this seller http://www.ebay.com/...=item5af145f6d3

 

I'm not sure if this will show up on BBTS, since they haven't updated their product listing for BS-47.  The seller's prices are reasonable and they ship the item pretty quickly, so I would definitely go with them for now.  Hope this helps!

Have you received them already!?

Yeah I got them last week.  Despite the fact that the set doesn't include any weapons or shields, the figures really are pretty damn cool.  The orca could've used more paint apps but he's still not bad looking.  The other two are awesome, especially the shark.  They really stand out among the other figures.  Although I don't want Takara to consistently keep re-releasing the same figures on a regular basis, I wouldn't mind having more characters in this style in the future.

Nice, looks like Dutch costums is holding my box back again. The Japanese seller wasn't willing to adjust some of the shipping details so I might expect my box with some delay and with another heavy bill attached to it for import tax, really hate this................ 

 

Totally agree with you on the re-releasing part as its an easy score for them reproducing clear figs, dark figs, etc using the same molds over and over again with just another result, its time they get back to work and come with some kick ass sculpts again!!
