I just heard that the Tamashii page about the stand states that the stands come with their respective figuarts, so Den-O stand with Liner Form, etc... maybe AmiAmi screwed it up.

I think Amiami just jumped the gun to get as much money as they could from us. I won't be buying a bunch of reissues of figures I already have to get the stages either. I just want the damn stages.

Well that's the thing - it can't be a money grab because you can only buy one. Not one of each - one Flame Dragon period.
From their product page: Quote:
*"S.H.Figuarts - Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Dragon" has 5 product pages with different bonus items. Only 1 type out of 5 type can be purchased per customer. Please take note that duplicate orders will be automatically canceled.

I know you can only get one of each. What I'm saying is they're hoping to sell the shit out of Flame Dragon and Winger. And this is a really good way to do it.
Considering I have no previous pre-order experience with Amiami, should I need to cancel my preorder for some reason, can I do that?

No, you CAN'T buy one of each. You can only buy 1 out of 5. Period. It's the bit I quoted from the order page. So they won't sell any more than they would normally.
if anything they'll sell less of the reissues because they're not coming with the stands. And canceling a preorder at AmiAmi is iffy. If you do it long before the item comes out, they may not care. Though they may give you a hard time(you have to email them and ask them to cancel it, you can't do it yourself). You basically have to ask really nicely, with a lot of Japanese style self-effacement. Last edited by bluesparrow; 02-08-2013 at 01:54 AM.. |

Nice, gonna have to try and grab these. I'm sure somewhere will eventually have them separately.

I assume this promotion is like some of the others Bandai has had for Figuarts with freebies that aren't pack-ins. Namely, the freebies are intended to be distributed a certain way (AmiAmi's way blows the reveal that Blade's likely getting a May preorder) but stores don't have to do it. This is how HLJ tossed Decade card stands in with any random Kamen Rider thing ordered in a certain period instead of just Figuarts like the other stores.
In this case, AmiAmi is reducing the risk of ordering a bunch of potential poor sellers like Flame Dragon or Machine Winger, obvious clearance fodder otherwise, by pairing every single free stand with them. It doesn't matter if almost nobody orders some of the reissues because now they can make more money off the sales of newer, more expensive figures and force the people that need a complete Heisei Rider with anniversary stand to buy BOTH. Under-ordering the reissues isn't going to be a big deal. It's still a gamble, but a calculated one. It would be optimal to the plan if AmiAmi did let people order multiples, but I think the usual order limits to Figuarts bites them in the ass there, forcing them to instill limits or a select few will hoard everything.

Everything is up right now. GO GO GO people!
Edit: I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO COMPLETE MY ORDER BEFORE FLAME DRAGON WAS SOLD OUT. Seriously fuck Amiami. I am never wasting my time with this stupid mess again.
