Is it just my imagination or does that French picture have different coloured Gamoja than in the 5-packs I've got? Is there a reason for this? I'll take a photograph and put it on so the difference can be seen.

And now some pointless (... but interesting) statistics!

'24/48' is Ultra/Magma and means that you get a single Ultra for every 24 5-packs you open, and a single Magma for every 48 5-packs you open.

Nightvine 24/48
Buglax 14/24
Flesh Hag 19/16
Dirgeleech 11/19
Craybane 7/9

Loboz 14/32
Whaloid 19/19
Turtlex 14/24
Finblade 12/19
Octox 11/16

Burnmaw 48/48
Blazugg 24/24
Nostro 95/14
Flamesoul 19/19
Skorch 11/11

Bone Drake 24/
Brinefang 12/48
Trigoyle 12/14
Drakon 16/32
Hexeye 7/19

Pterror 95/

Soarkroc 95/10

Spinax 24/32

Mamota 19/95
Spinohorn 16/48
Ramm 24/10
Tuakbak 7/32
Slither 6/12

Ultimoja 48

So as you can see, there some quite rare ones, even rarer than Ultimoja (who can be found every 48 packs), I mean COM'MON! Soarkroc's supposed to be COMMON, and there are two figures which still haven't been found!

hmmm, yes they do look different don't they....maybe they repainted them especialy for the advert? Some of the paint jobs on my ones aren't that impressive so whoever put the advert together may have decided to 'sex them up' a bit to make them seem better?

Kielmark: your posts on Gamoja have been very informative - thanks! Where did you get your statistic info from?

Interestingly, if you get 1 Ultimoja for every 48 5 packs, that would mean they have made 48,000 5-packs in total......well, I found it interesting anyway ! Just a little insight in to how toy companies work I suppose.....

By the way Kielmark, could we get a close up photo of your Ultinoja? thanks!

[toysfouryou]

well its been a long time since i last posted. moose has been emailing me about these items .the only items i can get right now are the 5 packs and my limits is only 4000 packs so i have to decide if anyone is still interested in the packs as its been a long time in comming .if i do purchase them i may have them sent by boat takes 4 weeks, as by air was crazy with the ser 2 fop the cost per pack will be around 5.99 per pack depending on shipping cost. depending on if i can work out a better deal with the australian shipper

[matthewf1tz]

well to be honest there are now 2 sellers on ebay shipping Gamoja worldwide - one from the UK and one from Malaysia. I'm sure you will have looked at the completed listings from Gamoja and seen what kind of quantities they are selling and for what price.

In brief I think they have been selling pretty well (although remember that they had NEVER been on ebay until a few weeks ago)

The UK seller works out cheaper for individual packs but the Malaysian one is cheaper when buying in quantity (I bought a box of six 5 sets and saved about 20% including P&P compared to the UK seller)

How odd, after 95 packets of finding only 2 magma's and 3 ultra's I would've thought all packets were like that.

I would put a close up of the Ultimoja if I could, but it just occurs to me that I don't know how to put pictures on. It's not uploading my file!

My statistics just come from a bunch of packets that someone else bought. I simply divided the total number of packets by the number of a specific creature, and the answer is how many 5-packs were bought in order to get that one creature. If Gamoja were perfectly randomly distributed this small sample would apply everywhere. From the sounds of Dark Clown though it may not be the case.

I would also post something else here, but since I don't know how to put up pictures, I'll just write the url:

<http://www.gamoja.co...splay-case.gif>

or else go to www.gamoja.com/newsletters/2006/08aug/images/ and press on ultimoja-display-case

Read'em and weep guys

(it's a display case for the entire Gamoja line, just like they had for FOP S1)

well I just received by carton of 6 five-packs and 2 of the 6 packs contained 3 magma's and two ultras. Maybe they didn't plan the ratio too well when producing the figures and had to change part way through and your figures came from an earlier batch......who knows...

that display case is cool - it's a shame the picture wasn't larger!

I'll send you a PM re the Ultimoja pic - unfortunately I haven't got one yet!

I'm quite gutted that out of about 60 figures I've only got one from my favourite group - SNOW! Although it is Tuskbak and that is one I particularly wanted

[matthewf1tz]

thanks for the pics Kielmark! sorry it took so long to upload this. I love the idea of having a metal figure in amongst the normal ones

[lord]

Have you already heard about the Gamoja ? They are small figure like the Fistful of Aliens and are sold in the same way than the FoP (5-pack, 2-pack, battle boxes)

You can have a look at the site here : www.gamoja.com

And some figures from my collection :





Sylvain

[transformersontheshelf]

these would go good with my tabletop game i run. Are they a leftover from the FoP line?

[THEGODBEAST]

Those are kewl!!! Nope...I haven't seen them here.

TGB

[Chogokin Jawa]

That will be without me...
Here is France they are quite expensive...around US $8,50 the blister.
And these figs are too small for me.
Moreover I do not trust Moose anymore...they had a catastrophic marketing strategy for FoP..;I won't spend bucks into a line :

1/ I will never manage to complete
2/ that could be abruptly stopped at any time...

NO WAY

[koppenschevelle]

I am in the same boat as CJ. I really like the look of these figures, especially the blue ones, like the one in the first photo, and the red fire ones. I always love the little figures. But I don't want to be setup then let down like with Fistfuls. I loved the Fistful of Power figures, but they didn't market the figures well at all, and between Battle Beasts and such, I can't be getting the rest of the the other waves/series from overseas.

I wonder if these will even make it over here to the US.

On the off chance anyone around is still interested in these guys they've just shown up on the shelves of my local Tesco (2 and 5 packs). Who knows? Perhaps they are slowly creeping in the direction of the US...

any idea how much they are at Tescos??

[fourth_heir]

I think it was £1.99 for a two-pack (these are blind packed) and £3.99 for a five-pack (blind packed with one figure and the meteor ball showing).

[trumanshower]

it's always available in france.

[Dark5tar]

Hey Kiel

I bought a Box, 5-pack and Starter pack off Ebay.

In my 5 pack, I got a Bone Drake.

[Pookie]

Does anyone own an ultimoja or has a spare one that is being sold?

[Pookie]

Will you trade my dark Nexxorr for your good Cyclo?

[miggy]
