RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Competition for MH? If other companies like Alter or GSC got permission to produce OP figures, MH could go and fuck themselves. They'd get outclassed instantly.
I don't think this will ever happen. I believe being Tsume a foreigner company has been key to get the license. There's no way in hell Toei will release the license inside Japan. Also, I don't think Japanese OP collectors see Tsume as a competition to MH. At most they'll see them as a nice complement.

RE: Marketplace Buyer/Seller Feedbacks
It came to my attention that I never post here, so here are my feedback.
+1 to MonkeyDDragon as a buyer, for getting my preorder of Lucci 1.5 at Otacute. Fast payment. Everything went well, a really nice guy.
+1 to Raithos as a buyer, for getting that Nami. Excelent person. He needs to start spamming the forum with photos now!!!
+7 to 1UP as a seller, for getting me Arlong, DPCF box, Scultures vol. 1,2 and GLC vol. 1, 2 and 5. He is the best out there. (note to the modds, I bought some other stuff from him, but since I did it through his shop, should i post it here too?)
+4 to Hiromi as a seller, for getting me IK Roger, IK WB, Neo Sanji and Neo Luffy. Great guy too!! (again same question as with 1UP, I bought some staff from the kolektakon page)

RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
I'm highly anticipating more DPCF for Naruto, I was looking through the artbooks and picking out colorspreads that I'd love to see. Naruto has been far overdue and overlooked for quality figures (the RAHs are nice but I think with the real fabric it didn't work the way it should have in the end). I know there was that GEM Kakashi but I wasn't a fan of it. Figuarts is trying, but… that's Figuarts. I just... can't. I can't do that.
Please don't let Plex hear you!! I don't have anything against DPCF Naruto, but I need Plex to finish the One Piece samurai spread first. I'm dying for an Inazuma, a Mr 3 and an Ivankov (Jimbei too, but I can leave with only his POP)!!

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I found that Boa alarm clock on amazon Japan for 3600yen and fulfilled by Amazon but its 6"x4". :/ Thats pretty dang small for the 5000yen I'm guessing it would cost me to order through Hiromi. Though most alarm clocks arn't bigger than that and it talks with Boa's voice. Thats the only way i could order it right, through a proxy? I tried logging in but it won't work. I'm going to have to think about it.
You could create an account (the other amazon ones don't work), pay it with your credit card, and use BIJ forwarding system. It's only 500 yen, since the shipping is free, right? I used it before, and I liked the service.
Finally got Neo Nami, thanks to 2D3Y
I'm going to cry in a corner from happiness now.Pictures or it didn't happen!!!

If this is Aokiji's new body, I kinda want MH to make a SA or Z version of him. I love that Ice leg. -
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I told you guys!!! Only Chopper had the price tag on him!!
Franky will be out May I guess. -

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I really want to believe that. I guess I have until April to decide.
! I just really hope they add an extra face to Robin, so she could pass as an adult too. I don't like if they only do de-aged characters, I rather go GLC for that. Chopper is fine, since he doesn't change all that much….
Edit: Kizaru's shadow has been shown, date of release January 2012:
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
So it's really possible we won't see all Red Pirates POPs??? That's a shame… I love those designs, but if they're only making Robin and Chopper (I didn't read the spoilers, but apart form brook, the others would be children when de-aged...) I think I'll pass and try to snag the FAZ ones at Manda for cheap...
-
RE: Preorder/In Stock/Ordering Discussion
Wasn't it at 5000 on HLJ?
I might start to think twice before preordering POPs… I want to support GLS, but if the prices are going to drop so much, I need to rethink that... I would care so much before, but since now I have a limited budget, waiting might mean 2 figures instead of 1... -
RE: Preorder/In Stock/Ordering Discussion
Kanji, you should stop telling me Kid is going to drop in price!!! I have him on GLS, and you're making me regret it!!!
Worts comes to worst and he hits 4200yen, I might try and snag a second one for Mexican reselling.Was Arlong at 3000 yen?? Damn….
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Talking to the manufacturer of the POP adds, I got news that he is working on Kizaru and another secret project.
He also showed me this, price is 98 yuan (16USD):Regarding the group buy, I'm still facing some troubles with the payment method, there's a ban on RMB, and the shops I talked to do not accept other currencies. I asked Sensui for advise, but if he can help us, maybe 1UP taobao proxy can help us with it.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
^Chopper….
I love that IK WB Raithos!!! That photo was the reason I bought it, so thank you again!!!
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I have that IK WB and he is amazing, well worth the money I spend on him (around 8000-9000 yen shipped). 13000 yen for him is a little expensive for me though.
Just out of curiosity, I just checked Manda and he is currently going for 9000 yen there (+ 4000 yen on shipping) so you might get a deal there… -
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Well, MH doesn't need to release a new POP every month. There's been quite few month with only rereleases (SA Luffy, Chopper and Nami came to mind) and some with no POPs at all. I think MH might consider Boa as the new release and Shira as the suport for that month. Otherwise, I see no reason why MH didn't scheduled BB 1.5 or Boa alongside Shilliew on February.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Not quite right on the last statement. Ben was already painted on WF Winter 2011, when Arlong, Usopp, Robin and Brook were introduced as unpainted prototypes, while Shirahoshi was already painted on last year's Autumm MegaHobby, when Ben's prototype was announced.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
They'll probably be spred form April to August. March is already full, and April might get only Chopper Z and some rereleases.
Franky didn't had a price tag or a month release on the expo, so he might be up for next preorders (April), but I doubt it. We might need to wait a little bit more for him (May).
I don't see the other getting release before June, maybe Nico, but that's all. They take their time to paint them and produce them. If we saw some of them painted on the JF, then May might be still possible. -
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
^100% agree with you. It's too bad that they stopped with the family members with Bellemere… Olvia, Tom, Dr. Hiluluk, Dra Kureha and Zeff are really high on my wish list, but pretty low on MH priorities...
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I would love to have a Lucky Roo and a Yassop. If they never came out, I wish MH include enough accessories so they can look younger too, like they did it with Ben.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Maggie, there no way MH were favoring the Pink Candy outfits over the Red Pirates ones. Some of the SW ones are getting higher on price lately. Usopp and Franky are around 10000-12000 yen on Manda.
I wouldn't mind having 4 SH versions though. NEO and SA are must buy manga cannon ones, but they don't look too in sink with each other. While SW look really good as a unit, so it's nice having them displayed toghether (with the expection of secondary versions). I think Red Pirates will make an awesome display too.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I kinda agree with Maggie, I can't see all of them selling well. It's a pity, since the Red Pirates outfits are really amazing. I wish those were the regular TS outfits instead of the manga ones. I'm kinda tired of them already… It's just a matter of preferences I guess.
Also, as Lexiy put it, those outfits are way better than the Yakuza ones...I don't mind if they take ages to do them, but right know I don't see the point on just getting two of them. I get it's Robin and Chopper, but I rather had W7 or Alabasta Robin and Horn point or Human point Chopper.
Edit: Also, if the not selling well is the rule here for not releasing them all, I can see the mentioned SH selling more than some of the new characters, like Kid (price tag), Killer or Beckman (I would say Shilliew too, but he is awesome, so I'll give him a pass). As I say, if they're going to release them one by one during the next years, maybe the interest will increase over them. SA releases were too soon from this Z versions.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I was writing my thought about the new announces when my computer shot down. They are late, but here they are;
-
POP SA-Maximum Franky: I don't really like him. There some weird proportions around the upper and lower parts, like Raithos said. I blame it on the sculptor wanting to create an action figure rather than a scaled static figure. I don't mind the extra parts as long they don't make the figure look bad, but in this case I think they were a mistake. I really wished they took the GLM or IK approach with him, and leave the multiple poses and accessories for the Chogokin one.
-
POP SA Law: Totally expecting him. I still think it is too soon for him, but out of the other SA characters, he was the only one that made sense. I like Law, but I'm not sure I'll get this version. The more pictures I see of him, the more awkward he looks. I'll decide my vote when I see price and month.
-
POP NEO-DX Marineford Shanks: I'm really impressed with this figure. I know he was coming when Beckman was announced, but he is so much better than the tweaked 1.5 version I was expecting. If I wasn't on a low budget I might try and buy a second Beckman to diplay with him (the first one will stay with the old Shanks and first mild Luffy). Overall a must buy.
-
POP NEO-DX Roger: I was expecting him like crazy, and now that he is out, I'm starting to have doubts… His face is epic, but there's something about his pose that doesn't remind me of him. I'll rather had him with the standard cross-arms pose. I'll wait an see. Right now, the amazing IK one is more than enough for me.
-
POP NEO DX Califa: It's nice to have some more CP9 to go alongside the new Lucci 1.5, but Califa was the least of my favorites. Her sculpt is on point dough, no complains there. If she is cheap enough, and she doesn't share release with somebody else I'll get her. I just wish MH decides to give us Kaku next.
-
POP Limited Sadie-chan: Quite a nice surprise here. She looks really good, can't wait for her to be painted. The ID trio are one of my favorite characters, and having at least one of them it gives me high hopes for the others. She is an intsant buy for me, although the limited tag might make me hesitate on that (if she is a made on demand shop limited, I'll wait for manda xp).
-
POP Strong Edition Shiki: This is the most random character of the MH Expo and the one I'm more excited for. I was sure we wouldn't get him, since SW was released a long time ago and Z was coming, but here he is. The pose looks fantastic, can't wait to see him colored.
-
POP Z-Edition Robin and Chopper: I don't know what to think about them. They look nice, but if MH will only release those 2, I'll gladly pass. I love the Z Red Pirates designs, but I see no point on having only deaged Chopper and Robin…
All in all, a really good Expo. I'm only worried because we didn't see news regarding the SN, so that might mean that the line has been dropped or that MH will take it's time like with the Shichibukai. I'm hoping for the later. Let's wait for some of them painted on Jump Festa and new preorders announcements (SA Franky?) in 10 days.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Well, I would wait until the prices are revealed on Law and Shanks. Out of all you listed, Shiryu will probably hit the bargain bin, so I'll skip him and try to get him later.
Perona will get sold out, but she will probably get a rerelease later on.Out of the 6 you mention, I'll go with Shanks and SA Law.
Edit: Maybe you could try and establish a limited budget instead of a limited number, that way, if some POPs hit the bargain bin, you could fit two in only one slot. That's what I did with my partner. I also started to sell some not so wanted figures to pay for others, with the previous agreement that the money earned from figures goes to figures. That way, you could try and sell your BB for the new one, or your Shanks for the new one (assuming you don't want them anymore…)

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
It was the last WonderFest Kyon.
I really wish that list is right, but until pictures are shown I'll be skeptical.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
I think that are the new POP in MegaHobby Expo 2012 (the list is from the same guy how posted the pictures in 2ch).
- Franky Sailing Again POP
- Trafalgar Law Sailing Again POP
- Shanks Marine Ford Ver. POP
- Shiki POP
- Gol D Roger POP
- Califa POP
- Sadie POP
- Nico Robin Film Z POP
- Chopper Film Z POP
I really hope this list is right, otherwise, I'll be starting with the FAZ line.
To CaptainJack, Perona was released months before Moria. At least, it might mean be will get Magellan later on.
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Is it me or Franky's lower budy looks odd?
SA Law? What a surprise…Shanks Marineford, another unexpected surprise...
![](http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad279/rocklee_san/adplus Kosaka Tamaki/Danboard/megahobby2012autumn/A8gmexnCcAAlOB6jpglarge.jpg)
I really hope that MH shows some new character, otherwise I'll be really disappointed!
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Nice box art for Chopper Kung Fu Poit, although it's a rip off of the Kung Fu Panda movie poster
Nice pictures Dan!! I'm still searching for her at a decent enough price. I never saw her below 7000 yen, guess I'll need to search for her when I got the money to spare (maybe 2015?). Do you have some POP kids to take a comparison photo?
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
you think we'll probably get Duval and Foxy? Dunno if I can agree with that lol.
I think I'm the only one with hope that we'll see Hiruluk eventually. He always seems to be the most popular of the flashback chars (Not including the likes of Shanks and the kids.) and it could be an excuse for Megahouse to release another smaller Chopper. Then again they've been sitting on a Bellemere reissue for too long now.
Well, the last list was more on the joke side, but I had never imagined a Vista POP or a Shilliew so soon, so who knows how MH things.
I've been waiting for them to keep with the family members line. Nojiko and Bellemere look great alongside Nami's child, so I really wished they keept on that line. Olvia, Tom and Iceburg, Dr Kureha, Dr. Hiluluk and a young Chopper, Dadan and Nijiko, Zef, etc.
Let's see what MH decides to surprise us with!
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Great shots Benhan!! That's a lovely Robin indeed!!!
Killax, get Lucci 1.5. He is an amazing figure. I get what you mean about not knowing what to do with it, but I don't think you should skip him.
I think I'll try with the wishlist thing:
What I want, and think Megahouse will release later than sooner:
Buggy
Roger
Magellan
SengokuWhat I want that has a slightly chance: Ivankov
Sentomaru
Sadi-chan
Inazuma
Mr. 3
Mr. 1
Coby and Helmepo
Otohime
Chibihoshi
CamieWhat I want, but Megahouse will never notice their existence: Shiki
Dr. Hiluluk
Dra. Kureha
Tom
Olvia
Human Brook
Dadan
Fisher Tiger
Ryuma
JozuWhat I expect: Chopperman line: rainbow version
SN line: X Drake, Urohige
Final Boss arc line: Magellan
SA line: Law
Limited recolor: Jinbei green/grey version (more like a Boa rerelease than a 1.5 or a SA release)
Limited 1.5/repaint: Crocodile, since his price is increasing on the second market
Random male line: Yassop
Random, but needed to make money Female line: Sadie or Camie
Mild line: will remain deadWhat we probably get (you know, because this is so random and it's fun to do it): Chopperman line: chocolate version
SN line: Capone, Zoro Shabaoidy ver. (because he sells well)
Final Boss arc line: Foxy
SA line: Shirahoshi Poseidon version (sited with her arms holding her tail). A cryface will be an extra part.
Limited recolor: Crocodile Casino version (more like a Boa rerelease than a 1.5 or a SA release)
Limited 1.5/repaint: Akainu, they'll fix his face and piss everyone again (like the BB 1.5)
Random male line: Duval
Random, but needed to make money Female line: Boa's sisters (missing the point of releasing a sexy female, but appealing to the public because they'll contain Salome in 2 parts and extra arms for Boa, like Sabo had for Ace & Luffy)
Mild line: they'll resuscitate the line adding a SA to it, featuring Koala, Random kid from PH and Momonosuke's black shadow. -
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
He was at 55k not so long ago. Bellemere is usually at 35-38k there….

RE: Box splitting / Figures up for grabs
Hi everyone!! Here’s an update on how things are going regarding the POP adds group buy.
NEWS
I contacted with a Taobao shop (let’s say distributor) due to not being able to contact the manufacturer AForce (the proxy is on it, but I have no news yet). The guy who attended me through 3 sessions of Chinese Messenger, was able to resolve some of my questions, hence I can now say:
• The shop accepts PayPal and the can ship internationally. Due to this, I’m suggesting dropping the proxy and due it ourselves. We would save on proxy fees and domestic shipping.
• However, PayPal does not accept yuan as a currency, so we need to pay through dollars or euro at the shop exchange rate. I don’t know which one is that, since I didn’t know that PayPal didn’t accept yuan at the time I was asking the seller. I’ll learn more about this soon. Also I need to confirm with them if they charge the 4% PayPal taxes like the proxy did.
• They confirmed me that they are able to send the package internationally to different addresses, so if people want their items send directly to their house it a more than perfectly option. I recommend though, for those who live nearby and trust each other enough to combine the shipping, since some of the items are quite heavy.
• But the most important thing is that I made a deal with the seller and due to the size of the order, they agree to give a discount of 5 or 10% if we reach the said amount.ADDS

Every single figure comes with their own personalized box. The inside contains black porexpan to protect the items. Here are some pictures:
SHIPPING COSTS
They procided EMS (http://www.ems.com.cn/english.html) and SAL (http://www.chinapost.com.cn/36/index.html). I’ll try to establish an estimate shipping costs for the items when I have more time. Meanwhile, you can check for estimates on the websites provided. Notice that they don’t have handling fees.
If there’s someone of the same region and they know each other and trust them enough, I suggest to do the shipping together, since it will be cheaper.
DATE OF THE ORDER
Since not all of the accessories are already out, I suggest wait till January 2013 to place the order. They can hold our discount deal till then with no problem. However, if enough interest is displayed, we could place an earlier order (mid December?) for those adds that are already out.
Let me know what you think.PAYMENT METHOD
As I commented earlier, the shop accepts PayPal, but in order to apply for the discounts, one unique purchase must be made (unique payment). I could easily take care of that by gathering everyone's payment. There’s still pending to know which currency are they accepting and at which exchange rate, and if they charge an additional 4% to cover PayPal taxes, like the proxy did.
This is all for know. Any questions or suggestions are very welcome. I’ll update as soon as I know more. Thanks for reading and for your interest!!!
Old post:
! Hi all, I’ve been contacting with some Taobao proxies (1UP included, but he unfortunately wasn’t able to help) for a possible group buy about those adds for the POPs we saw not so long ago. There’s nothing set on stone yet, but I would want to see if there’s some interest in here. I would like to know who will be up to it (what they want and from where they are). As far as I went on my inquiries, they can hold the items for 1-2 months and split the order to send to different countries.
! Those are the adds and an estimated price which include the item itself, the proxy fees and the domestic shiping. Only pending will be the paypal/transaction fees and international shipping.
! Marco 210 yuan (33.70USD/26.50 euros). If there’s 10 or more people interested, Marco has a discount and he will end up being Orly 195 yuan (31.30USD/24.75 euros):
! Akainu 380 yuan (61 USD/48 euros):
! Brook 110 yuan (17.70USD/14 euros)
! Aokiji 320 yuan (51.50USD/40.50 euros):
! Robin 50 yuan* (8USD/6.50 euros) The price is for the preorder, final price pending upon her release at the end of November. Only pointing her out to see if there’s interest:
! Boa’s Salome 50 yuanes* (8USD/6.50 euros) The price is for the preorder, final price pending upon her release at the end of November. Only pointing her out to see if there’s interest:
! As I’m saying, this is only to see if there’s enough interest to justify a group buy. I’m coordinating this with other forums too, so I’ll be updating slowly. A PM or a post on my profile would be sufficient. I’m planning to place the order at the start of December or on January, suggestions are welcome!!
Thanks for reading and I hope it’s of your interest. -
RE: General non-One Piece Collectibles v.1
Alina, I'm currently in talks with some of them due to the group buy I'm organizing regarding the POP accessories on the split orders section. The best ones seem to be yoybuy, budybuy and prunai.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
The review will be long, and detailed and grand.
Be ready, for it. LolI'm already excited for that review. I considered send her EMS, but I just coldn't afford it (it was more than the double…). Sorry!
At Alina, I do love collecting, and enjoy them as the first day (even more if posible). I can't wait to have my own place and build a custom shelfs to finally display my unboxed figures I own. But as Raithos says, I'm also being more selective and thinking twice before preordering. 1UP has help me tons with that, since he has the preorders up for a while (plus cheap prices).

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
He was at BIJ and I think at Manda too
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
You guys are great to read!! I'm still enjoying the hobby like the first day, but I'm starting to feel the need to design a good displayer cabinet. Having all of them boxes has paid me of with the country move, but right now I feel a urge to unbox them.
However I really need to restrain myself for a bit. I've just found out that this week is my last week at my current job. So until I found another one, there won't be more preorders for me… "Luckily", they're still owning me the last 3 months, so I think I will manage for a while...
Wish me luck on my search!!!

RE: One Piece Ten (ONE PIECE 展), new amazing event in Japan.
Is that true? I coulnd't get the Wanted posters for the first Ten exhibition, so I was willing to buy them now.
Do we know what are all the changes?Thanks!!
-
RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
Yeah, I know that, but as you pointed out, we don't know what it really means. Extra what? Production? Extra as an alternate version of a normal released character but with (extra) head, (extra) colour or (extra) position like BB, Boa, Garp, ¿Robin dereshii? ¿Luffy child? or as a an actual extra (accesories) like Aokiji's coat, Sabo's to complete the 3 brothers (he even had "extra" arms for them) or ¿¿Carue's Vivi??
Who knows… but for some reason MH didn't make them part of the main lines (Neo, Neo Dx, Sailing Again, Mild)
Edit: @1Up:
Maby extra means extra effort into the sculpt/figure haha :-p
lol, I never thought about that, but extra effort on Boa or Garp? They are just repaints and 1 "extra"/new head…
I let the extra effort for the sculpt (and price) to the Neo Maximmum line.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"
They are not making you to buy him again though, so why the hate? Also, they're not selling them as a regular releases, Robin, Nami, Ace and Lucci were shop limited releases that did not interfear with that months orders, and Boa and BB were marked as EX (still don't know what does it mean, but it's clear they're not regular releases). So why be bothered by that?
I rather have them rerelease those 1.5 versions or alternate colours ones that mere rereleases of the original ones. It gives you the chance to have an "improved" version of the character or to have a colour or version of your liking.
I get it kinda sucks if you own the original one and want the new version, but if that's the case, you can always sell the old one and get the new one. At least now you have that choice.Also, I don't think MH is going to keep doing those 1.5 for a lot of characters. Only those they want to rerelease, but are too afraid to fail like Smoker, Tashigi, Sogeking, Ace DX and Luffy DX did.

yes, I agree. I saw her on Mandarake and was sorely tempted but I really want to see pictures from forum members first. I understand she's bigger than her POP (judging by the one picture on MFC that I saw)?
There's a review of it at MFC: [http://myfigurecollection.net/blog/5145
S](http://myfigurecollection.net/blog/5145)he looks really good.

RE: Preorder/In Stock/Ordering Discussion
I'm still not sure how hard to find the new Hancock will be come release. I know it's not been distributed as a typical POP "Limited", but given that the bikini & wedding hancock can now be found for around 4,000 yen, i'm a little worried that I'm going to pay more by pre-ordering.
What do you guys think?
Those Boas bikini and wedding were made at demand, chances are they produced tons more than the actual market was. New Boa will get a standard production, like the original Boa had. She is going at 12000 yen right now, even though she had a rerelease. That's enough reasons for me to think that the Boa will be hard to get on release. But you never know….
