Disclaimer:

Basically what I'm doing here (since end of December 2008) is putting all the news from the board and everything linked to 3A, 3A lines or Ashley Wood's comics and art day by day, sometimes it's updated even hourly. Most of the news and updates will be in a form of Ashley Wood quotes, as around here Ashley's quotes have a lot of meaning for the future events around 3A or product releases, variants or prices. Some quotes would be Ashley's interaction with people, talking about stuff and explaining his views on thing or just making jokes. We here respect Ashley, it's his house and I think it wouldn't be wise, not to put those quotes here for everyone interested to see.

All quotes will feature short explanation from me and sometimes direct url to the conversation, so you could better understand the context. In the same time, I gather here all the news from 3A site, 3A production blog and Ashley Wood's blog or any related source of info around Ashley Wood or 3A.

Plus you will find here lots of 3A board news: who won board competitions, photos of toys by our boardies (I always put first photos of toys which currently shipped out, made by our boardies) or simply good photos of 3A toys and many more news. This place is our home, breathing and living organism and our legion members spent lots of their time here. Legion members you may ask? Yes, 3A board members are part of 3A legion, powerful force, where everyone is supporting each other and always ready to give heads up or friendly advice.

Why I'm doing all this? Answer is really simple: not everyone wants to read everything on the board, to find something useful, so this thread supposed to be a good choice, if you don't have time to constantly check the board, 3A blogs and all the related media places.

If you are new to the board and 3A, and you want to see news for previous month, you can read them in this section as well, going through all the months of the 2009 and enjoying the fun ride.

All the images are made as thumbnails (new ones are hosted on imgur), for better layout of the news and save loading time, but they all lead to the big pictures.

If it's more convenient for you, basically all the updates coverage and some additional info is at www.twitter.com/gimbat and if you like to use Facebook, I'm there as well, www.facebook.com/gimbat, or just click links in my signature. Will be happy to answer on your any question and help you as much as I can!

Last days of August 2012, in case you missed the updates.

Shipping update and plans for the next week:
We are ready to start shipping of WWR Supreme NOM release figures next week.

Same time for Ashley Wood collection: Audrey slips with butterknife release.

And we plan to start shipping Bambalandstore allotment of SDCC exclusives soon (most likely next week). The allotment was exclusively offered at Bambalandstore on July 12th 2012. Which includes: Valve x 3A SDCC 2012 Exclusive Weighted Companion Square ; Valve x 3A SDCC 2012 Exclusive 1:1 Sandvich; WWR Mighty Squaro.

I previously wrote that first batches of Real Steel: Ambush orders started to ship out and few Legionnaires already made pretty rad photos of this monstrous fighting robot. Currently, we are waiting for more robots to arrive from the Hatchery, in order to proceed with the following stages of International shipping. I will keep you informed about this.

Ashley Wood will be visiting ACG Cuangzhou-HK-Macao Comic Con (based on the flyer info bellow), where ThreeA and BBICN are participating. BBICN posted an update about this here.

Here is the flyer with additional information in Chinese:

Another look at BBICN exlusives: Popbot TK KDO, AK Hard Nipples War and Munich NTQ

I'm waiting for an official translation , which is coming soon. Meanwhile our boardie kaworu17 presented his quick translation here.

 In absolutely majority of the cases, ThreeA always offered a variant of the show exclusives (or exact figure) at Bambalandstore. Currently only: Popbot TK KDA was revealed and it was stated that it's coming to Bambalandstore on September 30th. Of course everyone has his own likes and dislikes, but I think that KDA is much more interesting narrow shoulder types TK (take his new kicks alone) and more appealing than KDO (BBICN exclusive).

which comes for free with Fighting JC 4pack

There was a bit of glitch and miscommunication with  Action Portable Fighting JC Boxset and now it's available for everyone. We are sorry for the confusion. Please check the store.

Got a word from Hong Kong: I asked what would be the best way for people, who wanted to buy Fighting JC Boxset, but ordered singles during first hour of the sale, because Action Portable Fighting JC Boxset was out of reach (when it was only at 3AA section of the store).

The answer is to buy Fighting JC Boxset right now and send an email to cs@threeaonline.com for refund on the singles.

If you haven't got necessary funds on your account for Fighting JC Boxset purchase (after buying the singles) please email cs@threeonline.com straight away.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Somebody asked me, whether AP Fighting JC singles are carder or not. The answer is that it's still not decided.

Surprise for today's AP Fighting JC sale: Action Portable Dark Sarge Zomb, it's for 3AA members, but there is no 24 hours guarantee buying window...you have to catch one in your cart. Limited to one per person, price: 45USD.

Ends in 22 minutes, thanks for making Sunday on Thursday a success !
Just as a bit of info, as most opted for the very cool JC pack ( and who wouldn’t), it has made the single boxed JC’s very rare indeed, some more than others!

This have been in the works for a while and finally the news is out! Ashley Wood is bringing BAMBABOSS club!

Next week see’s the start of Bamba club, which is basically when I offer the first of the new line of Bambaboss, this is my personal platform and im going to use it vigorously! The ongoing series will feature old fav’s and many new colorways and body variations. Im also going to mess around with proof of purchase offers, original art versions secretly placed in boxes, anything I can think up to make the Bamba ride more fun!
Fuck the masons, the Bamba club is the most exclusive club going!

Here the a photo of Panda Boss

and now we know for sure that this teaser, was dedicated to Bambaboss club

Btw, If you don't know what proof of purchase is: it's when you send something, which qualifies as a proof of purchase (whether it's a piece of packaging, secret code, photo and etc) to redeem a rewards. Just thought, that I would explain what it is, as few people already asked about this.

For me it's always interesting to see how people personalize their figures and change things here and there. Shows personal connection with the fig and how it inspires them. Here is interesting touch by on WWR Supreme NOM Whitemother figure by POk

Ashley Wood collection: Audrey slips on butterknife GID (surprise release during the sale) and non-GID versions photographed by our Legionnaires on Facebook: Antonio Dit and Desmond Yeo (last pic)

It was tremendously hard to win Popbot Shadow and Light Oyabuns and our boardie Knives is sharing his joy with others in this detailed review.

A bit of news for all 2000AD fans out there: if all goes according to the plan Hammerstein and Dredd are still scheduled to be released this year. Can't wait for more pics!

Something big is coming our way and even though I might seem a bit vague, but it's a pretty straightforward announcement (you will see soon).

On September 17th, G3A is coming to us! I don't want to ruin the surprise and stop you from guessing, I'll just say that it has no relation to "game", "gaming" or presenting new line of toys. You can discuss it here.

Shipping update:
Popbot Lady Sham release started to ship out yesterday. Same for Real Steel: Ambush Bambalandstore orders for International customers. If you haven’t seen previous Ambush updates, it’s shipping out in batches and orders to Hong Kong/mainland China and United States based customers already shipped a while ago.

Latest from Ashley's blog:
So
With the Levine art shipping, the catalog going to press, I feel the NEXT ideas coming on, which I have to say is fucking exciting to me, actually im starting today. I guess im not one to bask or think of what I have done, only to think of what needs to be done next !
Im off to find old frames!

Prints and shitty policies
Due to our giclee printer having a meltdown we have had to cancel and refund remaining print orders. We cannot hold the orders over while waiting for new parts due to paypal payment policy. The last shipment went today.  We were hoping that it could be resolved quickly but it doesn't look good.
I know it's a bummer for those who missed out, we as always appreciate your support and understanding.
Of course those who missed out will be offered the chance to purchase again when available, we only have a working smaller printer now...gah !!

G3A details
Current 3AA 2012 members, please check your emails (the ones you use to login to Bambalandstore) for G3A info and details.
More info coming in a bit.

We were working on the new store for a while and currently, we are happy to announce that G3A is up and the registration is open. 3AA members already received the emails with all the necessary registration instructions. We migrated all
3AA members to the new store, so they are keeping the discount and all the privileges. Unfortunately we couldn’t migrate non-3AA members, who registered at Bambalandstore. Please go to G3A to register, it’s quick and easy procedure.

http://www.gallerythreea.com/

We made a couple of manuals to make your registration process smooth and easy. Registration and purchase guide are located in “Latest news” panel on the left.

G3A might be a bit on the slow side right now, as many people are registering and browsing the site. It’s a good test to see how it works on the load, change things here and there (we already filed a request for more bandwidth).

I’m aware that few people were stressing during registration procedure, thinking that there might be a sale going. There are currently no toys for sale at the store, so you aren’t missing on anything.

Update
Store system is off for now, we need to change some things and adjust the registration procedure. I’ll will post more, when I can.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm currently waiting to hear on the registration procedure changes, I'll let you know soon. And now to our usual news...

Popbot TKYO

I wonder who the special guests will be...earlier it was mentioned here that Popbot TK KDA is a bodyguard of TK YO.

AP Tommy Mission

Latest from Ashley's blog:
Machine Sabbath 1

As the show grows closer, im going to start showing the art for you guys to experience as I know most wont get to the show. Stay tuned as they say.

Our boardies discovered that ThreeA x VALVe Weighted Companion Square has a variety of different decals on it's back. You can find the start of this discussion here.

And here are few examples by our boardies: Arroneous422, A_Locomotive, jakesons , konfucious and ictoys

Floating WWR Supreme NOM by Antonio Dit (from Facebook)

[Gimbat]

Newly generated codes were sent to existing 3AA members, please check your emails again. Maintenance mode will be taken down at G3A in 15 minutes or so.

Update:

Newly generated codes are getting send to existing 3AA members, please check your emails again. Maintenance mode is lifted now, however emails might take a while to reach everyone.

Password: you have to use new password, from that email you are about to receive, not your old Bambalandstore password and not “123456″ one. If you previously already registered, when G3A was up for the first time earlier today and changed your shipping info or other info: please change it again, because it was rolled back to the original state.

We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience caused.

What I posted doesn’t affect non-3AA members.

http://www.threeaonline.com/blog/?p=3423

Follow-up

3AA members, if you haven't received the email from G3A with your newly generated password , please check your spam folder, as three people already complained about not getting the email and it ended up in their spam folder.

Btw, you can actually use "forgot your password" option at the store and you will receive new password to your 3AA email (the one which is assigned to 3AA privileges at the store). But I really suggest to wait for that original email.

Thank you for your time.

[Gimbat]

G3A is for everyone!

With me constantly mentioning 3AA members on the blog, I’m already receiving questions from non-3AA members, whether they can register at G3A.

Past order history for non-3AA and 3AA members will not be transferred to G3A , but you can view it at Bambalandstore (where you made the orders).

G3A has paypal’s express checkout functionality to make shopping faster and more convenient. Using either PayPal or Alipay, the customer must make an immediate payment after the checkout, for the transaction to be completed. We will not accept delayed payments.

One last thing though, if you are 3AA member and still can’t access G3A, you can use forgot your password process here. You will have to enter your email (the one you use to login to Bambalandstore) , enter captcha code and you will receive newly generated password in the email.

We saw his boots earlier:

New reincarnation of Zobmkin: AK CHARKIN will be available in early October. It's pre-made and limited release...of course it means that it's going to be harder to buy one (in comparison with open pre-order), but good news that it's shipping and hopefully you will have it in hand to play during the Halloween.

AK Charkin story from Ash, always love when he gives us these:

GID Bambaboss hitting the G3A store at some point of time today:

Ashley is posting in the bar, it's always awesome for me to see that!

heya guys, thanks for the hanging in there with the new store, such a shitty day for such stuff for us at 3A !
Im still as excited as ever to offer my ideas up, wish there wasnt hassle for you guys, but we shall get it right ! maybe.
GID bamba today, if thats ya bag.
Bambabag is epic !

^Bambabag - he is referring to one of the art objects submitted to F5 bar

GID coming to the store soooooon:
"well our new store makes everything rare. as a lot cannot still use it
well as the levine show is done ill be around more, i love talkign about my ideas and shit.
im going to hunt benny and get him to release the GID !"

On secret sales and WWR Blanc Hunter:
"oh another thing, unless I telegraph a adhoc secret sale, and im kinda obvious, it aint happening, i got grief over Blanc Hunter etc not being sold yesterday."

On whether GID Bambaboss comes with a t-shirt and on SIX ACG Guangzhou Animation game show being cancelled.
"no shirts with GID im told !
I wanted to drop the GID yesterday.... but every issue ever happened.. as you know !
hopefully G3A can handle some stress today, need to push it to find out where it breaks!
bummer about the China show, thought it was a joke yesterday when I was told... Had some nice posters and stuff made for it..."
"gotta go make some shit, ill return, fingers crossed for the GID sale, but im sure some teeth gnashing will occur !
good to see old faces, later !"

Ashley answering whether polaroid sketches can be scored with GID Bambaboss as well:
polaroids will be spread over them all!

Bambaboss 01 is leaving the store, G3A will be down for two hours till midday HK time to update the store engine.

G3A is back: www.gallerythreea.com , Bambaboss 01 is still there for now.

GID Bambaboss is up at G3A, 140USD with shipping included in the price. Please click once on add to cart...or you will end up with several GID Bosses.

Currently Benny (head of our tech team) is trying to fix few things at G3A, so it explains most of the errors during GID Bambaboss checkout. People constantly F5ing the store, slowing his work. He informed me that more GID Bambaboss figs are coming, so don't need to be nervous right now and would be great, if you could stop F5ing for some time.

Bambaboss 01 is leaving G3A in 30 minutes or so...in case you are still sitting on the fence.

We are keeping Bambaboss release at the store , to give everyone better opportunity to buy one. There is a lot of interest in Bambaboss and keeping them for a longer time makes sense and compensates for slow work of G3A shop during first hours of the sale. Long life to the Legion!

The boys:

Added new markers to ThreeA products delivery progress map: http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=210110
I been asked about the map few times during last week, I thought that there is close to zero interest to it and people don't want to update
it. I'm sorry for not adding new markers earlier, but it's really discouraging to maintain the map, seeing how Legionnaires aren't using it that much (just few markers please release) and deleting old ones takes a lot of time. If you want map to be as accurate, as possible please keep it alive!
Feeling nostalgic and missing old entries, you can check them here: http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=338728 (1382 - now that's a proper Legion activity!).

Many people kept asking, whether we will see entirely new character: Popbot Shogun , as member of 7Bones...you were asking and here is the answer by Ashley Wood:
i was gonna post a new shogun image, but i cant see the image upload button anymore...
the 7bones shogun will be coming.

Very cool initiative , called GOYA for new artists:

We love art here at 3A, and frankly we want to get more out there, not just ours but other artists. So im going to create a publishing imprint called GOYA to get as many cool mags out as we can featuring known and unknown artists. Kinda like what I did for swallow but a larger size of 12″x12″ etc. Think of GOYA as a record label, we will release mags that are like EP’s for the artist, and then go from there whether it be more books or toys etc.

No kickstarter, no crap printing on overpriced POD systems just cool mags.

mail 3awa@threeaonline.com with your work and spread the word of GOYA.

Speaking about art...here is printing of Levine show catalog:

Ashley about WWR Harold and that 7th colorway is for him..but too early to tell about others popular colorways like 666th or that Harold entered production earlier than bots, who wear 666th and other colorways.
BUT one thing for sure, Harold is coming to us in October!
october will see the harold sale
7th is it for harold, too early a bot for 666th or the like.

Ashley Wood passionately speaking about ThreeA, his plans and VOX (3A newsletter)



Heya

3A is something I think a lot about , how to make better, how to make more fun, how to reach the goals I set myself for it when we started.

Never doing anything like 3A before its all a new experience everyday brings unique issues and problems. Sure I have worked at companies that made toys in the past, have been privy to many situations that have aided my thinking with 3A, but there is so much more to consider when your at the helm. I still do all my own designs, every toy apart from the licensed stuff is 100% me, its quite a responsibility I gotta say.. I love it though, the chance to create worlds and put them out there is a rare gift! Plus I have a the best supporters, passionate and smart. You can always judge an artist by their audience they say, well then I must be doing something fucking right! But yea, I still feel the pressure of making great stuff, not adding to the pile if shit toys !

Im just thinking out loud here, thinking about what I love about 3A… which is just doing it, I dont want to sit back and lets others design my stuff, do this or that, I want to be in the trenches, I want to make the fucking newsletter, sure it didnt look great or have bells and whistles, but fuck, i did with my voice. So im going to start doing it again, my own shitty way, with spelling errors and missing shit, but its real, and thats why 3A is great to me–REAL. We are not company strung together with business plans and accountants projecting our future, we are still two guys ( thats Kim ) figuring out what to do on the fly, stuff thats excites us, stuff we care about. Shit even when its not my worlds I get to be involved with ideas and stories I really dig, no licensed stuff is done at 3A without us loving it, that’s our motivation. you grab me anywhere and ask why we did MGS or 2000ad etc, ill tell you from the heart why!

Yup we aint the slickest operation, but I love this group that is 3A, from our main office in Kowloon, to our hatchery of hard workers to the fans! I fucking care about it enough to rant on a Sunday and that’s enough for me to know im doing it right!!

ash

i didnt spell check nor read through this for grammar, thats giving in !

Adventure Kartel Fucking Robot Island Charkin Zombkin is exceptionally creepy and it's going to be 3AA exclusive (sorry to non-3AA members). It's even limited to 3AA members (so most likely no 24 hours on this one), as we pre-made specific amount in order to ship it to you, before Halloween.
It will be offered at G3A on October 1st, 9:00AM Hong Kong time.

Popbot Tomorrow King KDA will be available at G3A on September 29th, 9:00AM Hong Kong time.

I know that a good few people are scared to replace hands on their Popbot Lady Sham figures, here is nice and short educational video by our boardie jF:

^If you are wondering why Red Devil Lady Sham has different head, that's not because it's a chase figure, it's because jF exchanged heads there.

Popbot Pure Lady Sham looks so good next to Popbot and Kitty on this photo by holiday.

I talked with Benny (HK office staff) about upcoming Popbot TK KDA sale and he said that unless something drastically changes, it's going to be 24 hours sale. So you might wanna go easier on G3A , on September 29th.

Popbot Tomorrow King KDA will be available at G3A, on September 29th 9:00AM Hong Kong time. Here is the link showing how September 29th 9:00AM HK time corresponds to different time zones. KDA comes with 1:1 Lasstranaut t-shirt and Tomorrow King posters (no price yet).

Noisy Boy will be the latest addition to figures made by ThreeA under Real Steel license. We already made Ambush and Midas (shown bellow).

You can discuss the figure here. He will be extremely movie accurate and will have pretty rad light-up function.

Noisy Boy introduction on youtube.

ThreeA x VALVe Atlas & P-Body are already in production for a while , I've talked with Master Kim yesterday and he mentioned that there will be animated light-up eyes on both figures. Here are early prototypes, which were shown at Re-Venture (April 2012)

Ashley Wood is working on VOX newsletter and waiting for photo submissions of ThreeA toys. If you are interested: please send them to info@threeaonline.com

NEW VOX 3.1 is out and you can read it here.

Let's start with 3A VOX photo winners and we have three this time!

You can check previous 3A VOX photo winners here, all nicely summarized in one thread.

I'm going to keep VOX pretty informal, a way for me pass on what we are up to at 3A, show some exclusive images, highlight cool photos from you guys and anything else we think you guys will dig. They will come out when they do, a surprise newsletter! I'm sure you guys would rather I be painting and designing stuff not fiddling around with HTML newsletter stuff too often!

So whats  going on at 3A, well this week see the sale of KDA Slim Body TK on the 29th-9-00am at G3A. It's a nifty set for a few reasons, its the first TK with realistic 1/6th sneakers and it comes with a 1:1 T-Shirt and TK Poster. KDA is basically TKYO's minder, from Mortis assassination attempts to overly zealous fans, KDA is there to make it easy going for TKYO!

Then there is the Charkin sale on the 1st, premade so there isn't an insane wait like the Zombkin, I wanted to do a Ween figure that actually comes out for Halloween! I know some will miss out, or maybe not, but it doesnt work to do it any other way. And no, before some say, its doesnt take away from any toy being made that is pre-ordered, as they are planned ahead and fitted in so no delays occur due to its production! The story for Charkin goes like this-When the Robots start their pre-invasion they are savvy to any potential opposition and do some pre hits on these targets etc. Zombkins lovely turgid patch got torched by the Finger Gang and the general consensus was Zombkin was fucked and posed no threat. But from the fetid ashes arose Charkin to execute his revenge on the invading robots....

Mmm what else, oh yea 3AGO. My favorite toy company of all time is MEGO, I loved there 8" figures as a young lad and to this day still hunt them down! Just because its fun, we here at 3A will release a special series of 8" 3AGO figures hopefully before the year is out!

Usual reminder about 3A customer service and how to get info:

If you have any questions about your ThreeA orders, you are more than welcomed to contact our customer service professionals at cs@threeaonline.com . Please don’t hesitate to contact us, we would be happy to help you. And if you prefer social networks, you can reach out for advice and direction to 3Asupport on twitter or checkout our official 3AVOX page on Facebook.

Ashley about ThreeA, what it means for him and people behind the curtain:

I get asked on a regular basis- why do 3A, with your art, books and movie stuff your time is thin and you don't need to do it. Well the main reason, its too cool not too, I love seeing my ideas made into solid forms, I feel very lucky to have this opportunity and do not intend to waste it!

And please remember I'm not ThreeA, well im the A part but the Three is made up of many great people who are tireless in there work for 3A, so I want to highlight the hardwork of ThreeZero, Benny Fok, Siu Yin, Gimbat, Darius, Brent, Tommy, basically the whole Kowloon office and Hatchery who really do the hard work and make sure you guys get the best toys we can make! I think they are overlooked too often and its not right! Thanks guys!

Ill not be putting shipping dates in VOX as they are covered in many places and my info is sometimes out of date here.

MGS REX shipping breakdown:

More detailed breakdown on MGS REX shipping:

Shipping starts in October. It will take some good time to ship out everything, as each big & heavy figure, it will ship in batches and we want to be as careful with it, as possible.

This time it all starts with retail orders. In comparison with retail versions, Bambalandstore version comes with Snake pilot and it will be spending a little more time at the Hatchery (ThreeA factory).

Looking very much forward for you guys to receive your REX and spoiling us with your photos.

WWR Supplement , 48 pages, 12" x 12" book is available at G3A : www.gallerythreea.com

Great news about AK Charkin
It seems many want a Charkin, Now we cant change the limited amount pre-made that will ship before Halloween, but when the pre-mades sell out we will offer another batch that will ship in December. They will have different boxes and maybe sumin else, who knows !

Update:
And 3A publishing WWR Supplement is gone from G3A. If you will be going to NYCC, Gregory informed me that we will have some copies at our booth. Please stop-by!

Btw, some cool details for you. This is MGS REX retail packaging:

Bambalandstore version will be slightly different. When I mentioned that REX is big & heavy, I wasn't exaggerating at all! As each box is 55.5x47x53.5 CM and weights over 8kgs.

Bambalandstore version will not only be coming in a different box, have miniature Snake figure, but it will be coming with a poster.

Ashley Wood about Popbot TK KDA being the last standard slimbody TK and upcoming TKYO sale:
"heya guys, thought I would pop in here with some info for KDA. KDA is the last of the standard slimbody TKs, with classic head etc ( i guess we have the TKYO next month but they are not standard TK etc ) All future TK’s will be new and different like the Shogun ( gloves, head shoes all specific to the design ). Take it easy chaps!”

TK KDA will be on pre-order at G3A ( www.gallerythreea.com ) on September 29th, 9:00AM Hong Kong time. TK KDA is an open pre-order and 3AA members have 24 hours buying window to buy one, it comes with 1:1 Lasstranaut t-shirt and TK poster.

Polaroids

many have asked to buy some if my polaroids in the past, im normally dont sell, but with some being exhibited at the Levine Gallery I thought I might offer some to the world on my store. So sometime today ill get around to that. Im also putting the final touches on my book of polaroids which should be out this year !

I'm experimenting lately with classic F5 Bar idea (opens 24 hours prior to the sale), but nothing changes: it remains open until figures are up at the store; it's fun; and there will be sketches! Speaking about F5 Bar, it's open and waiting for ya: http://www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=3058.0

Popbot TK KDA sale starts in less than twenty minutes from now at www.gallerythreea.com

Ashley about KDA, TKYO and first Tomorrow King sale back in 2008
"heya guys!
couple of things, no TKYO or Hornets etc today they are mid next month, too awesome for a secret sale. I see them as the coolest TK sets set ever and want them to have their own special day.
I remember the first Tk sale like yesterday, I always enjoyed the Fuck Jenga ad... oh well, you know what I say, live in the past, die on the future.
take it easy fellas!"

Fuck Jenga image Ashley is referring to and old sales promo :

Ashley Wood about G3A being slow right now:

"
"you know all the f5 ing creates a DOS attack, the servers then shut down. im just saying when you have 500+ unique people all refreshing it creates  a bottleneck etc that nothing can fix
Im not involved anymore in the online shop stuff ( im our to pasture with bambaland!),
of course I wish it went better, of course benny is on the phone with our server people, this is not fun for anyone Sad
try later on , or meet around back of the park and buy outta my boot !
fuck jenga i say !"

Don't forget that 3AA members have guaranteed 24 hours buying window and it's an open pre-order, so it's safe to come back in two-three hours from now and do the purchase. We are really sorry for the inconvenience.

While G3A is down, you can purchase TK KDA from Bambalandstore: www.bambalandstore.com

you all love bamba, i knew it, all that moaning and now its the greatest ever

Remember Ash's "FUCK JENGA!" words earlier today?

Looking forward to see you all again in F5 bar, for Charkin...and Charkin goes on sale, on 9:00AM HK time at Bambalandstore.

Speaking about AK Charkin, it was supposed to be limited 3AA sale, so even 3AA members wouldn't have 24 hours buying window on that one. However we decided to offer more batches. Currently we cant change the limited pre-made amount , that will ship before Halloween, but when the pre-mades sell out we will offer another batch that will ship in December. According to Ash: "they will have different boxes and maybe sumin else, who knows !"

Since I just closed down Popbot TK KDA F5 Bar, I'll wait for some hours before open AK Charkin one, even though it's already 19 hours till it goes up at Bambalandstore.

pre-made will be available for 3AA members

We had them in production for some time and wanted to offer only pre-made figures via limited 3AA sale, to ship it to you before Halloween. However because of demand, we decided to offer significantly more. Limited pre-made batch will be for 3AA members; pre-orders for everyone.

Price: 100USD

Latest post from Ashley's personal blog:
Ashorama's

Messing around with the Iphone panorama stuff, thought I would share, old and newer stuff!

AK Charkin goes up for sale at Bambalandstore in less than 15 minutes from now.

Latest from the blog about AK Charkin

Ol pre order Charkin will have a different color decal, box etc. The pre order will start soon after the Pre made sale is over, how long it will go for isnt known, as we dont want too many as the shipping date will slip, those lil charkin pants and bastards to make !

Charkin pre made 3AA ONLY (limited to one per person) is up at www.bambalandstore.com

Charkin pre-made is gone, and pre-orders (shipping on December) will be up for limited time at Bambalandstore.com

Here is Ashley saying thank you at ThreeA blog:

"Charkin says thanks which is weird as he is a charred pumpkin ! Hope he makes your Halloween more fun!
Thanks from me, as im always excited and amazed at the awesome support I get for my ideas!
ash"

About refunds and Charkin coming to an end:

"Just a heads up, the title for pre order Charkin for some says premade, which isnt right, the text for it still says shipping in december which is correct, always read the text, the titles gets mixed up when similar products are offered. If you want a refund just contact CS if you ordered a Charkin pre order with the wrong title only!

The Charkin pre order is coming close to ending soon as well, just a heads up, we are close to maximum !"

What's the difference between pre-order and pre-made?
1) pre-made ones shipping this month; pre-orders estimated shipping time - December 2012
2) different box and accents on the decal

About the mixup with titles at the store:
When AK Charkin pre-made where gone from the store, they were exchanged with pre-orders, but the title remained: "AK Charkin pre-made" for few minutes, even though product description was different and stated that shipping starts in December 2012. If you got confused and bought within that time-frame (and your Charkin title in Bambalandstore product history says: premade) and willing to get a refund, please contact cs@threeaonline.com. It might take some time to answer, as October 1st is a National Holiday in China.

And Charkin is gone from the store...

^Mysterious image, which popped up later at the blog. I wonder if it can be new AK Finger Gang character and we might see it in upcoming 1/12th AK Finger Gang sale?

We had plenty of sketches and art at the bar, love the support from all the awesome and talented Legionnaires shown for AK Charkin !
