Shag's Be@rbrick from the 'Be@rbrick World Tour' will be available for sale starting today, Dec 23rd, to coincide with the Sapporo Parco's opening of the 3rd leg of the tour.




It will only be a 100% size cub (not a 400% which would have rocked), and comes in a set with 9 other artists' creations -

Check out Toy Tokyo in the next few weeks to see if they have a set for sale and, worse case scenario, there's always eBay, home of the bootleg 'bricks made on mainland China.
