Got X and Kabuto.
If you missed out on the Flame Dragon you want, keep checking for a couple hours(or alternatively use figinstock.com), they always reopen figuarts preorders a bunch of times. |

Wow, but I kinda saw that coming. The only one I'm watching but haven't bought, the Agito Flame Dragon, is still in-stock.
I really do want that stand, but not enough to preorder a figure I care nothing about. Now, if someone wanted to secure the Flame Dragon from me... then maybe. EDIT: There we go, Agito-Dragon sold out.

Yeah. I've long since stopped bothering trying to pre-order from Amiami.
So what, other sites will have them for 500 yen more. At least they're not sold out within the first second. I'll just wait for Figuart Blade and pray he comes with some kind of stand (Hell, his signature attack, Lightning Blast, requires him to stick the sword into the ground, so I hope there's something a la Fourze's cracked ground accessory to accommodate it).

Yeah it's questionable whether it's worth preordering from AmiAmi. They have the best prices but their shipping is pretty expensive and they're dicks about cancelling items. HLJ has higher prices but cheaper shipping, but you can cancel any time, though they don't always get what you order in stock for whatever reason. HobbySearch has higher prices and really expensive shipping(for EMS) and seem to never get restocks.
The only consistently good stores are Mandarake and Jungle, and they're both secondhand stores so you can't preorder. if Amazon.jp ever starts shipping toys to the US the other stores are in big trouble. Last edited by bluesparrow; 02-08-2013 at 02:21 AM.. |

I prefer HLJ, personally. Much less grief, their pre-orders don't sell out within the first nanosecond, and they just seem to have a larger stock than other sites. Their prices aren't always the lowest, but when Amiami has a preorder for 2900 yen and HLJ has it up for 3200, the shipping will pretty much make the price difference nebulous.
And they all beat BBTS.

I prefer HLJ too but I only preorder model kits from them.
BTW HobbySearch has the figures up: http://www.1999.co.jp/search_e.asp?T...y=S.H.Figuarts |

I'll take my luck with my usual dumpster dive at Mandarake for these stands before I ever waste time with Amiami again. Eventually I can find anything I want on there and these are no different.

I'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed for the Blade Figuart to include his.
