So I just recently started actually collecting Glyos system figs. (Prior to now I'd picked up a few Crayboth because they're cute, but asside from that nothing.)

I had a few questions that I figured the knowledgeable folks here could easily clear us for me:
 

  1. Other than Onell itself, how many other outfits should I be aware of that are producing Glyos compatible figures? I've already found Calgrim and GodBeast. Are there others?
     
  2. How hard is it to find recent releases that I missed? Put differently, how fast does the value go up after something is no longer available on the site? For example, I rather like the most recent Super Crayboth. But I missed it. (Further back, I like the Calgrim Armodocs.) I've been gleaning what info I can from eBay. But given how few listings there are I wasn't sure if the prices there are an acurate guide.
     
  3. Does Onell ever return to colors it's used before?
     
  4. How fast does one need to get to the Onell store after a new production run drops to get anything cool? I note that things which dropped very recently are gone already.

Thank you!

Yes, I already got one lot of stuff from him and may yet go back for more. Sadly the Armodocs he has all sport customized parts, and I was hoping for unmodified parts to start with.

1. The Onell blog has links on the right side for most of the other Glyos figures.

Callgrim

Banimon

Spy Monkey Creations - Weaponeers of Monkaa

Toyfinity - Robo Force & jumbo vinyl Mordle

TGB - Kabuto Mushi

LittleRubberGuys - RIse of the Beasts

Mystical Warriors of the Ring - Glyos compatible Goliath

October Toys - Skeleton Warriors

NiStuff - Outlander and alternate heads/accessories/customs

Stryker Lock (Onell & RealxHead)

Nemo's Factory

Four Horsemen - Power Lords

 

I'm probably missing a couple.

 

2. This guy is offering the Super Crayboth you want for $35 shipped in the US http://www.octoberto...hp?f=32&t=14131. A large figure like that alone costs a little over $30 from the store, so $35 shipped is probably the best secondary market price you could find. Issaris Marketplace on the October Toys forum is the best place to look for anything you missed, or you could create a thread there letting other collectors know what you are looking for and what you would offer for them. You might find someone willing to sell Callgrim Armodocs that doesn't have them listed for sale.

 

3. Yes. The 2014 waves were mostly a return to popular colors from the early years with enough variation to them so they weren't exactly the same as the original releases.

 

4. I go to the store about 5 minutes early and start refreshing the page until it loads. Sometimes it goes live a couple minutes early. I have never had an issue getting the store to load or getting cartjacked, but many people do. Some recent figures were popular enough to sell out within the first 5 minutes. A few people that missed out started posting jerky comments on the blog and the forum, which is the last thing you want to do if you ever want someone in the community to help you out with something you missed.

Thanks for all the great information, Iwao!

You rock. I'm going to go snap that up.

Oh yeah, I don't begrudge it. They're a small operation selling at impressively reasonable prices. I just didn't realize how competative buying these could be until recently when I started paying proper attention.

I'll just echo some of the above comments. You have to get in and out pretty quick to pick up the really popular stuff when the drop is live, but Matt has really improved stock levels over time and certain favourite, like the Armorvors for example, don't really sell out in one night anymore.

As for buying the earlier stuff/sold out stuff - unfortunately there are a lot of people who order extra stuff just to sell it on for a higher price, so you'll have to be prepared to pay for certain figures. Fortunately, you an deal with member here, over at October Toys or via the dedicated Facebook pages that will be fair with you and not try to bend you over a barrel on prices.

If you use Facebook, then search for the 'The Glyan Exchange' as well as 'The Armorvor Archive' (my own page :) )
