There might be Beasts from all tribes with most being land base but I think you might be looking at something like
Beast A x6
Beast B x4
Beast C x4
Beast D x4
Beast E x4
Beast F x2

Noooo!!! Stop with the numbers! Memories of Hasbro case counts flooding back! :wallbash:
In my excitement for this line, I didn't even consider case assortments. I just saw the word 'random' and I got excited. Now with the chase figures showing up though I'm ok with what I've ordered, though I'm still undecided on exactly how many of those I'll actually keep besides the shark.
I've never purchased toys from a line that has blindboxed figures, are the case counts you mentioned fairly typical of those types of releases?

I think I may just grab a few from this line and pray they come to the US as a complete collection will be in the thousands due to it being blind boxed..

I am a distributor for Hasbro USA and as of now they have no plans to launch these in the USA. That doesn't mean that they wont if its a huge hit when its released overseas but you would be talking Christmas at the earliest and I would say that is pushing it. Also there is very little profit in these figures something that US retailers don't like. Normal figures are sold at 52% of retail where as these are sold at about 70%+. So they would either have to find a way to make them cheaper or raise the retail cost all of which doesn't look good for a US release. However seen as how a lot of the items are already done in english anything is possible.

I imagine if Hasbro is bringing them over they will be shown to retailers at Toyfair.

I'm content with a Japanese only release if Hasbro decides not to bring them over.
Otherwise I imagine I'll be collecting multiple releases if the US uses alternative paint schemes.

If Hasbro ever release them then I would have to buy duplicates just to get all figures in both package version. Who said I am a mad completist ?

I'm totally fine with buying from Japan. Although it would be nice to be able to buy toys when I go to the store again. I also think it would be cool to go with the kids and let them pick out their own figures. Either way, I'm getting them, and that's all that matters!

Yeah... Me too. Especially if there are color differences, etc.

I'm happy with the clears, but all this "blind box" drama has me worried. I will do what it takes and sell/trade to along the way. I hope it's not too many K...

Well since there is quite a few of us buying cases, I'm sure we can work with each other to get complete sets accomplished with are extras. Come Release time, the traders market here on LRG will blow up I bet.

I ordered quite a bit, and I'm not as much of a fan of chase figures as I am the painted ones, so I expect to have some clears up when the time comes. The shark and maybe the lion and bat are the only ones I really want (though as much as I'm loving these that could change :D ). Either way, I should still have extras so I'll definitely hook people up.

Yea I can convert pretty much any form of currency, I just got them to have my complete set and then have the rest available for everyone on here and other customers. Once I get the invoice and exact items shipped ( will be awhile still ) I can get pricing and stuff but I will post all that in the Sales forums. Dont want this thread to become my sales board just wanted to let people know that I will have extras if they were on the fence of preordering.

Dang! Big buy in! I'll hit you up if my BBTS order is missing any essentials. I'm also hot for the clears- Gotta get 'em all!

I'd say you should get a sticky sale thread going for Beast Saga. A lot of us would like to keep sales/trades in our friendly enthusiast community here.

The Chosen Prime and Big Bad Toy Store are soliciting preorders for Beast Saga. Looks like this line is making a comeback!

If you're interested and buy from The Chosen Prime, let them know by liking their Facebook post. I'm not clear if this is old stock Takara found, or if Takara is printing new pieces.

I think its old stock but then again it could be an upcoming State-side release to correlate with perhaps an English dubbing of the cartoon series that may premiere finally...?

No new figures/characters so it´s indeed probably old stock and I´d be seriously surprised if they´d even attempt a comeback for them because in the end it wasn´t the success they´d hoped for... Could just as easily been an error/mistake on the BBT page.

 

Hopefully I´m wrong and the line will make a comeback because than we might also see some of the characters that so far have never made it into an actual figure!

I hope so. If there's a state side dub, I could see them revisiting some of the toys.

I asked BBTS if it was older stock, and they said they didn't think so. They said their supplier was shopping new stock. We'll see..

I just got an email saying a few of the figures I "pre-ordered" just arrived and were added to my loot pile. Still no charge yet, but (if this is helpful to anyone) it seems like they are indeed getting in more figures.
