Pocky Club needs new flavors!

[TomtheFanboy]

Hey guys! I was looking at my Pocky Stockpile for the convention and I realized something shocking! We're missing flavors!

Coconut and Tahitian Vanilla, the summer specials, have been out for a couple months now and we still don't have ANY in our stockpile! There's also a couple of other new flavors out there that've slipped through the cracks.  http://pocky.jp/products/index.html

Gokubosu Pocky (the thin kind) and Green Tea Pocky (that is not mousse) is still available.

Grape has finally been replaced, by MILK of all things! The Milk Pocky is now the flavor with the neat questions and answers on th inside wrapper. They're collectible!

Finally, my personal favorite, Chocolate Crush. Chocolate crush is the deluxe Pocky with tiny bits of chocolate cookie stuck to the milk chocolate (much like Almond Crush). I have planned on buying some the last two times that I've gone to Uwajimaya but it's been sold out. I need at least two boxes of this so even if you can't grab some and donate it, let me know where I can get it!

Even if you can't make it to the Minicon, the Pocky club booth will be accepting donations (both cash and Pocky of course) so please stop by, we'll be there whenever the Exhibitor's Hall is open.

You could scour this topic for ideas.

Oh yeah, and for Mini-con can I put myself on the "Can-glomp" list for that Chocolate Crush if you get it, or if not then Tahitian Vanilla sounds good, or reverse pocky. Yum!

We don't need new flavor IDEAS! We need people to FIND the new flavors silly!


I will be kind enough to update our Yes Glomp List.

Oops, sorry.

I will be kind enough to update our Yes Glomp List.

Thanks. Can you put me down for several? I might need them all.

Fubonn has a lot of Pocky flavors (I got chocolate crush there recently) if you ever stop by.

Phunn store lolx

[Trumby]

I could possibly be persuaded to buy some of those and donate The place I buy my pocky online has only a couple of them, though. I'll have to look around online.

Hey Tom - I could probably stop by Fubonn before the con and buy some Pocky. Chocolate crush and coconut, are those the ones you need the most? Can I give it to you Saturday morning perhaps?

[Evaldas]

Someone brought in pocky to work on day...a nice range of flavors. Wasn't so hot on the green tea. However, they have this lemon one that was very nice.

That sounds great. I need like, 3 coconut and a couple choco crunch (however many you feel comfortable buying). I can reimburse you for most of them, but if you walk in with a case then your donation will be appreciated. 

Neko_Chan says she'll be picking some of the more common flavors up soon.

Pocky club members are really rocking the contributions this year.
Remember to save your receipts guys.

[totemo_oishii]

Alright, will do! Last time I went there it looked like there were plenty of coconut ~

[Neko_Chan]

I will be going in Later today or Tomarrow to pick up all Pocky that I can get from the gift card. :>

I can stop by the Asain Market store and pick up some more too. It seems like everyone's buying the more unusual flavors so I'll stick to the originals of Chocolate and Strawberry (Maybe theyll even have some banana mmm. i love banana)

[TomtheFanboy]

The answer is yes of course. 

My stockpile is mostly Mousse flavors but I still need a couple green teas. I have a little chocolate and Men's and the Strawberry cream but that probably won't make it through the bag stuffing. After this weekend I'll be making the Uwajimaya run (or maybe Fubon) to get the supplies for the Panel specifically (since that needs to be on one receipt for Programming). Hopefully the stockpile will be prepared by then so I don't have to scramble for any more flavors.

[laurifer]

Hey Tom since I don't have a receipt it'll be ok if it has the price tag on it, right?

[TomtheFanboy]

Yeah, don't worry about it too much Laurifer, I got plenty of cash.

So everyone knows, I have picked up the Strawberry chunk and some Green Tea Fran since I can't seem to find any Green Tea Mousse at Uji's anymore. That was basically the shopping trip for the Panel. We will definitely have enough Pocky this year.

We already have one delivery form in for the convention! It's someone who has signed the Yes Glomp List so it should be a pretty quick delivery.

[totemo_oishii]

Laurifer and I will be making a trip to Fubonn either this Wednesday or Thursday.

- 3 coconut
- some chocolate crush
- do you want green tea mousse?

[SunneyTehBunney]

D: DO YOU HAVE BANANA CHOCOLATE!?!??

Also...where can we buy em? o.o From you guys I mean

[TomtheFanboy]

Whoa there Sunny!
Choco-banana is no longer available. We ate it all up in 2005.

Totemo, that sounds like a good plan. I have some Green Tea Fran but I'd rather give out Pocky for official Club functions so grab a couple boxes.

Just so everyone knows, I appreciate all donations of Pocky.
But the only person who is getting  paid is the person bringing me Tahitian Vanilla.

I'll be picking up the flat of regular choco Pocky on the way to the hotel tomorrow.

[totemo_oishii]

Tom - so Laurifer and I went to Fubonn yesterday...and they were out of coconut and green tea pocky! D: We're so sorry. But we did snag two boxes of chocolate crush.

[TomtheFanboy]

I just found another two boxes of Chocolate crush. XD
That's OK, its the best flavor anyway!

Won't SOMEONE find some Coconut Pocky for the convention?
