Alright so I preordered the Figuarts Wizard Flame Style on Amazon a couple weeks back or so. It's only the second Figuarts I've purchased, the other being Black RX to act as my Masked Rider figure, and the first preorder I've made on Amazon. Now I do have the money I need for the figure, thank you Christmas, but of course Amazon and BBTS and all those places don't charge you until they ship the figure, which is great..except for the fact that that means I need to make sure that I have the exact amount of money I need in my bank account at the time they choose to charge me and ship my figure, which in this case is going to be what..March-ish?
I have the money for it, like I said, and I will be keeping it set aside so I don't end up spending it on anything else, but will I get some kinda notification when they are going to be charging me or something so I know ahead of time when to put the money in my checking account? I mean if they try and charge me prior to that I'm just going to get hit with overdraft fees or something, it's happened for far dumber reasons in the past, I rarely manage to keep money in my bank because I work minimum wage and have rent to pay and gas to put into my car. Is there any option to pay for it now at all, or am I stuck waiting until they are ready to send the figure? Also the description on Amazon mentions that he comes with a display stand, my previous Rider Figuart did not come with any kinda stand, is it just the typical clear plastic stands you see most of these posed with or is it something a bit more flashy, since he seems a relatively bare release as far as accessory count goes (I mean afterall, they can start selling accessory kits like with Fourze, why include them with the main figure anymore)?

Most sites will tell you that they only charge when your order is ready to be shipped. Amazon should be no different.
The stands that come with figures usually have the character's emblem atop it (But they're no differently constructed). And the purpose of the accessory packs is for characters who have stuff that they just can't come with (Like Wizard's Big Ring Arm or Fourze's modules) or effect parts. The figures aren't coming with less accessories. Wizard is only barebones because, outside the Wizard sword gun, there really isn't anything else he could come with.

If you are worried about it, buy yourself an amazon gift card in the amount you need and put it on your account. As long as you don't spend the balance it'll be there when your preorder comes in(very likely in march) and the price will be deducted.
We haven't seen the stand for Wizard yet, it's likely one of the clear stands but with a special logo on it. They're probably including it so you can do the rider kick. |

Anyways, yeah I guess it's true that there isn't much more you can include with Wizard than already is. Just kinda sucks because, as with Black RX, the rider figure I want is one that is light on the accessory count (and it was the exact same reason with Black RX, he came with all he really needed). But when I look at threads that show figures coming with all sorts of accessories, like the Gokaigers for example, it does sting a little since I'm paying $50 something for the figure, and if I want any really cool accessories it's another $70+. Just wish he came with a plamonster, some effect parts (other figures do) or something. I mean hell, Fourze came with Rocket and Drill (do plan on getting him at some point as well, not sure when though).
