I've been subscribed to it for two years.
If they really want to stop the complaints
They have no choice but to pre-show the products that they're going to give you next year

If that happens, only those who want to subscribe. I'm sure no one complains much about it.
If someone complain about it, it's like what you say on your face.

In the case of last year's Vip, there was no complaint about the product itself, but there was too much delay.
I even got a camel in the middle of this year

Of course they sent me some stickers and patches, etc, saying they were "apology gifts" but..

Actually, rather than wanting this, they wouldn't have complained much if they had just sent it on schedule

Also, in my case, after all, I like this toy line itself, so I'm subscribing.
Even if the quality of the product decreases and the product that I don't like comes out (like the Vip bat one  ) , I will eventually get my hands on it and enjoy it.

 

I'm seeing lots of mentions of the 52toys VIP membership, but I'm not clear on the details.
Can anyone link to some info about it? What is the cost? What are the proposed benefits?

I had a bit of a look on the 52toys Aliexpress store page, but I didn't see anything about subscribing to VIP (maybe I'm just blind/stupid).

 

found the new chimelong trio on ebay… but currently too expensive at $45 plus $9 shipping for me to consider picking up yet.

Oof! Yeah, I’ll wait until the inevitable wider release. Cheers for the heads-up though!

 

So they're back to naming the CL variants as just the animals. I wonder why Roseus was different?

 

I think it was always just this dino and the blue penguins that were not the common/scientific name.

 

Applications only available for a few months around New Year's. Search old posts for details, the T&Cs get revised every year and this is the first year it's officially available internationally through the ali store.

"Wristdragon" is a very bad translation of 腕龙

 

Roseus wasn't different, it's a type of flamingo.

 

RealSteel is a little cheaper on AliExpress, at around $45 with a coupon. It's not an official store so it's still expensive after all, but I was tempted.

still too expensive in my opinion, but curious how you are getting $45? it's $53 minus $3 off $29 coupon, so only down to $50.

 

The item is discounted to about $49 during the sale period (maybe the price varies by country?)
If you purchase it from the "Coins" page, you can get an additional 1% off.
Finally, if you use a coupon, it will be about $45.

 

oh yes that's right, i think prices can vary depending on the product/retailer and country/region being shipped to.  

 

Finally got around to taking a picture of Onitopte:

 

I have a VIP membership, but I'm unsure how the coupon system works. Does it just appear next to products on the Aliexpress page over the course of the year?

 

Yup was a proper chinglish joke when it was revealed to us.   I just find it not uniform, like Nessie wasn't snakedragon.

 

Just noticed this on the 52toys Amazon homepage:



The English version of the new logo?

 

My moc up so far for a coin similar to the vip one

 

Lots of 52Toys on sale during Prime Day.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=52toys&rh=p_n_deal_type:23566064011&dc&crid=3NH2QQQ7F4U53&qid=1721115097&rnid=23566063011&sprefix=52toys,aps,160&ref=sr_pg_1

Finally grabbed that green Landbreaker.

Too many to list, but heres a few screenshots:

 

This is the UK side of Prime Day.




Do gotta admit, it's alot better when compared to last Black Friday (only Havok, meerkats, hippo, rhino, Jojo and a couple of the older BB were on sales and ended up buying Havok).

That being said, not really interest in most of them. Have a slight interest in Jojo but I do remember someone said it has loose joints. I know the Stegosaur is a good oppertunity to get that mold for cheap but I'm still not keen on that version (don't want realistic colours). If the £5 voucher from listenning to an Aamzon podcast does get send later this week, I do intend to used it on Trashard whose is current £26.89. The £5 discount will put it to similar price to Stegosaur anyway.

EDIT- Ok I'm abit tempted now that I notice the extra 30% voucher on a few of them. Yet again, just cost it got cheaper doesn't means I should buy one unless you can vouch for the selective figures?
Oh don't bother recommending Nightcrawler and Demon Dart. I already got Zephr and while that is a good BB, not interesting in getting another beetle. Oh and I already got Rhapsody too.

 

Isn’t the VIP one usually a pin badge, rather than a coin?
