Grabbed Gaim and Baron off Amiami, these staggered preorders have honestly made things so much easier.

Same, Amiami putting their SHFs up a day after everyone cuts the competition down significantly. Was able to get both the moment they dropped without a fight.

I already preorder Banana arms with Hobby Genki but missed out on Orange arms. With tokullectibles sold out, amiami is my "last" resort. I didn't have any hope as I couldn't even load the page for all those previous preorders.
Surprisingly it is so smooth this time and I can't even believe I have it done within a few seconds. |

Wondering if y'all can help me understand something.
I was in Japan for most of February, and obviously, I did the required shopping trips to Akihabara and Den Den Town. I had a long list of Figuarts I wanted, and I knew I'd find a lot of great, pre-owned/discounted options. Toward the top of that list was a Geats, but for some reason, the Geats were scarce. The preowned ones I was able to find were being sold at, or far above, retail price. He was the only main rider that I couldn't find for a good price. I ended up getting one, but it was only $5 cheaper than buying a new, US release of the figure off Amazon. I thought the scarcity was because Geats was the most recent series, so maybe there hadn't been a lot of sell-backs yet. BUT, I'm looking at a lot of these same retailers' online shops, and there are already a bunch of preowned Gotchard Figuarts on sale for wayyy below retail. And still no Geats! Is there a story behind this? Did they scale back production for the Geats line? Is the show so popular that no one wants to resell what they've bought? Why the heck was he so hard to find?

1) The Raise Buckle parts-switching gimmick for the Geats figures made people buy/need multiples of different characters, to get the parts they need for specific combinations. 2) Geats is just really, really popular.

I sadly missed out on the Gaim SKC preorder, mostly because the orders went up when I was in bed.
What are the chances I'll be able to grab one or I'm I screwed. |

Plus Tamashii can always do a second run. I think you will be able to get these eventually. |

It’s “SS” as in S)hinkocchou S)eihou (as also seen on SHF site) not (S)hin(K)occhou …. where are you getting the C from??? The middle of the 1st word?? It literally makes no sense in the English Language. Bandai also uses “SS” in their literature, and they are correct in usage. Christ, it drives me crazy because it?s SO DUMB. Sorry, no offense intended, but it’s just wrong. Back to your regularly scheduled lifestyles Last edited by DH21965; 03-15-2024 at 09:27 PM.. |

These new Gaim and Baron SS releases are probably going to be hard to get on the aftermarket for the same reason. Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 03-15-2024 at 10:27 PM.. |
