color shift GB baby kirin show off thread – 02/10/2016

After all that drama the kirins had better be AMAZING! 😀 Or maybe the amazing part is that so many of us stayed around through the glitches! All the kirins were in carts when I finally got through, but one hopped out soon afterwards so I’m happy.

I can’t wait to see all the color variations! I went ahead and splurged on one. Now here’s hoping for a blue/green overall colored one!

A few managed to fall out of carts a little while ago, and I managed to snag one! *happy dance* I didn’t order any extra critters this time around, trying to behave myself, though it was hard not to throw in a flap cat, color-shift wolf, or Poad.

🙂 I managed to snag a kirin when the site went back up. I was pretty surprised. I was even lucky enough to put the last red/gold wolf in my cart. But then I decided to behave and let him go. I hope he made someone’s day!

I’m super curious about which kirin I’ll get though! I was forced to pass on the last baby kirin GB even after some stragglers were offered up later to those who missed the initial release. If I’m not absolutely in love I might sell to raise funds for an eBay piece. 🙂 We shall see. They’re super cute, so it’ll be difficult to decide!

Woo! I got one too! I am most excited about the white based ones with the colored spots .. so if anyone gets one of those and doesn’t love it, please think of me! ^^

These are my favorites. Oddly, it’s pretty much the opposite of my Peg wants XD Something about these kirins just makes the whiter schemes look beautiful <3

Also, I am going to use this thread to post something that you may see in future grab bag threads more often – after some lengthy discussion on Facebook it seemed like it could benefit us all to be reminded of this when grab bag batches come out, so I am going to try to make a point of posting it in all of the new grab bag threads. I know it does not apply to grab bags alone, but that certainly seems to be where most of the trading comes into play, and I want all of our forum members, new or not, to be well informed 🙂

These babies are making me crazy, I had one in my cart – I let it time out. 10 minutes ago I put another one in my cart and 5 minutes later removed it. I just put another in my cart and am trying to decide. I want one, but I am trying to be responsible. ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

EDITED: I’m weak…….. :~

MelodiousMimi, it depends as customs fees are random so sometimes we get charged on boxes and sometimes we don’t. I have been charged mostly on larger or higher value boxes if something is maybe a couple pieces or over $200. I usually don’t get charged on small boxes or single pieces but again customs picks boxes randomly to charge so not all of them are charged fees. The fees I have been charged though are usually around 9-10% of the value but we pay Can. dollars. So say you get something marked $200 US, if they catch it you might pay about $18-$20 Can. I got a box in before marked $400 and had to pay $38 in customs fees. That sucked since I already paid over $50 for shipping (for 4 pieces). I just hope the dollar goes back up!
