Hopefully its cool but It might be nothing, don't wanna spread false rumors. Talking to people from Japan things get lost in translations sometimes. But im excited to start cracking some of these blind boxes open

I know there are a few water tribe I want for sure and OFC the clear ones so be ready for me to stalk you sir

[glass67]

Based on Tracking I would say it will arrive at our shop on Saturday. I will be in LA on Monday to meet with the people I import stuff from. So anyone that has ordered stuff will be shipped Tuesday more than likely and anyone that wants stuff to fill holes there will be a massive update to the sales thread with pictures and stock counts. I also have some news about a new variety to the line but for now untill I see it in person it will have to be a secret.

Oh man, you're killing me! All I want to know is, how much is this 'secret' potentially going to cost me? Not sure the bank account can take another hit!

Maybe we'll know if we already bought a case of the blind packs? If so, I may know Monday. BTW, BBTS is in Minnesota, not Wisconsin, my bad.

If my informations are correct and if I understand them all there is what you can find in the blind boxes.

- 1 clear figure (1 of 8) + 2 regular dices
- 1 chase dice (so some box have 3 dices instead of 2)
- 1 chase card (some kind of shiny card with same art than the regular card)

I'm not sure but I think that the chase card replace the regular one so you will only have 1 card in each box. I don't know if every card exist in shiny version. I have seen at least 2 so far (Lion and Shark). The ratio seems to be 1 chase item (dice or card) every 12 boxes. So 1 special dice every 12 boxes and 1 special card every 12 boxes. 1 full case will include 2 special dices and 2 special cards according to ratio.

Hey guys I'm veryy late to this party but since receiving the prototype hamster I've become very interested in them. So us there only 8 beasts being released in the first set then? I was getting ready to order to blind boxes worth untill I realized that it could be the same 6 figures repeated in the 48 packs.

[JonnyPac]

WOOT!

[Beastformers]

@Saleen, it would be great if you start selling the Clear figs out of the Blind Boxes BUT since the true ratio system amongst the figs is not clear yet keep us up to date about that. It might be just an equal division of clear figs amongst the Blind Boxes but I wouldn't be surprised to see if there is a ratio system behind it as that would give more meaning to the blind boxes.

@Jay, I'm not sure what blind boxes you are talking about here but the only figs that come blind in box are the clear figs (8 in total) while 7 figs are released as single figs in the 1st run packed in window packaging. And from the other 2 boxes that include 3 figs (LAND or SEA) its clear which figures they house as well. In the beginning with the first pre-orders there was a rumor about a large blind box including ... of figs but since there are only a few figs released with the 1st run all people who've ordered these will get stuck with loads of doubles.

Cool pic that showed up on twiter from @NAKANOMEGANE.

If that's the case then I'm not too worried. I'm not interested in collecting all the shiny cards or chase dice, just one of every figure (except the shiny shark card, maybe). I ordered one case so I imagine that I'll at least get one of every figure with extras for the kids or to trade.
Mine are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, so I guess I'll know then.
Mr. Monster, make sure to post some pics of anything special or unusual that you find if you get them earlier.

I'm wondering if only the shark and the lion have chase cards, since they seem to be the main characters in the line at this point. If that's the case then hopefully we can expect a clear version of the eagle in the Vol. 2 booster case in December since he appears to be the leader of the air tribe.

Mr. Monster, make sure to post some pics of anything special or unusual that you find if you get them earlier.

I will but I'm not expecting anything. If I get one with special dice or card, I'll trade them away. I'm like you, just want one of each figure, my kids will get the doubles and the rest will be up for trade.

Saw that photo,notices the Bat and Lion have the same weapon and shield. As do the Elephant and the shark.

[glass67]

The figures look fantastic! I'm a little disappointed that the weapons don't seem to match what was originally shown. The sword that the giraffe is holding will likely make it into the hands of my lion figure. At least the sea tribe pic we saw contained the original weapons.

SEXY!!

Why that's like $30 more than I should have them for

[b00sted]

Cause I am a impatient person haha. Good to know though. Haha

[saleen123456]

Fair enough I to am a fan of instant gratification, I check my tracking ever few hours even though I know they will be here Monday just in case.

The dolphin seems to be the most popular figure from the first wave according to the japanese internet.



Dolphin page
custom dolphin based on a character I don't know

[glass67]

That custom dolphin is hilarious and disturbing at the same time! I'm curious to see what the inspiration for it was.

[Sniper33]

Ordered the Lion, Bat and a Blind Box Saturday night. They are a little pricey, but figuring its an import item its understandable. Kinda thought about the case, but passed since I didnt wanna drop a load out right away on figures I might not even care for.

LOL Hydra must have the time of his life back in Tokyo being in the Beast Saga Capital.

The dolphin seems to be the most popular figure from the first wave according to the japanese internet.

Sea animals are always popular amongst the Japanese and this one just has the highest Kawai-factor I guess.

There are tons of pics showing up of BS figs with interchangable parts from other toylines and vice versa I never noticed this till the BS line but it looks like there's some international standard fit amongst some toylines!?!? Looks like they fit with Armorvor and I've also seen other parts showing up can't believe its just a matter of coincidence.....

The Clear figs are the most wanted as they've been sold out everywhere and in every online shop in Japan hope they'll be back in stock soon so I can place an order

Keep us posted on the updates as I believe the first large orders are close to delivery within the US based on Saleens expectations.

[Slowpoke Sloth]

Woot! I got my package from BBTS yesterday! I can tell you all that in a case of 24 boosters I got exactly 3 sets of the 8 clears. Also you can kinda read from the packaging that 1 in 12 has a special dice and 1 in 12 has a special card. In my case I had 2 figures that came with a third extra yellow dice. I also got 2 gold bordered cards.... the shark and lion. So that matches it up with the 1 in 12.

I also noticed that as I opened the case the special dice and card figures were all on the top row as I opened the case. Also, the clear shark and the clear lion have the wrong weapons. You can see this based on the normal versions which have the right weapons. The weapons are not numbered like the old BB.

I was pretty sure I was going to like these and after opening and playing around with them I am definitely loving these figs. I don't know if it was ever mentioned after the debate of hard vs soft plastic but they are definitely a softer PVC plastic like the old BB. Actually the weapons are made of the same soft plastic which makes them feel less sturdy then the original BB weapons. They all look awesome and I can't wait for more!

So based on this and what lord said before it sounds like it might just be the lion and shark that have the special cards. Glad you're digging the figures, I can't wait for mine to get here Tuesday (along with Borderlands 2, its going to be one hell of a day). I noticed the weapons seemed to be bent in a lot of the recent pics, and it sounds like they're relatively flimsy. Is this a common problem with all of them because of how they're packaged?

[Slowpoke Sloth]

Yeah a lot of the weapons are slightly bent and such. They can probably be fixed with some hot water. The water three pack was the worst for me in terms of bent weapons.
