Seriously? Maybe because I like getting my figures when they release and not a month later? And it's almost guaranteed to be cheaper on Mandarake, and is guaranteed to be cheaper on Amiami. So yeah, don't use Amazon. So please don't try and "inform" on how Amazon works as though I don't know. I don't use it because I don't want to.

There's a few of my MonsterArts where I've gotten them cheaper on Amazon than I could've importing from AmiAmi or Mandarake, but that's apples and oranges compared to something like Rider Figuarts. Sentai (and non-toku properties) are more like 50/50 on the deals possible.
Not to mention bargain shopping on Amazon takes a lot of patience and attentiveness. You don't get the luxury of waiting around for months on certain Riders, as the more popular Figuarts are more likely to sell out faster and Amazon's supplies of them seem more limited this past year. It sucks to not be considered a "strategic property" in the US.

Anyone know why BBTS hasn't put up Kiwami arm figuarts? I was hoping to use them as a last resort since Kiwami was sold out since I was on vacation and couldn't snag a pre-order of him on AmiAmi.

As for me, guess what I'm doing this weekend! Thanks to work, SDCC and other stuff getting in the way, I've had a major backlog in general pile up, especially on the Figuarts end. Figured its about time I start unboxing stuff and rearranging my displays. |

I got S.H Figuarts Kamen Rider OOO Tajadol Combo from Otakon the other day and I think he is a great figure. The joints move very nice, the detail and paint look fantastic. Maybe it's just me, but I notice the Taja Spinner does not hold up very well when you first put in the figures hand. I hope Putotyra Combo gets reissue because he's so much now these days. The other OOO's forms are still pretty easy to find and can be bought cheap on sites like Ebay.

Or if it's something that AmiAmi English doesn't list. Like Sailor Jupiter. Will be waiting for a decent price on that.

Oh so HLJ is still carrying Kachidoki arms and Kiwami arm figuarts... I guess I'll take my chance with them.

It looks like Ryugen is still in stock on CStoys. If I had some more money left over then I would have buy him. By the time I get my next pay check, he will likely be out of stock. I'm waiting for S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon & Jungler Set to be up this week on CStoys, so I can try to pre-order it. It's the only for me to complete my Showa rider collection now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who bought those movie guys, seriously as soon as I saw them I had to have them, they'd make for great mooks and it'll be fun to put other figure's heads on their bodies.
