Tiga!! It's been a long-time coming, but he looks beautiful... I'm gonna try not to greedily right away go 'dyna when' and instead be glad that this icon of icons is getting the figuart treatment! (RIP to anyone who was hoping 80 would be next though)

I mean, judging by the release order they've gone in for non-new gen SHFs; Dyna should not be far off at all!

Ooh, I don't own any Ultraman figures but seeing that Tiga, he looks good! He also looked familiar so I did some digging and realized I used to watch some Ultraman episodes on a VHS my parents got from somewhere (dubbed in Cantonese too...lol) and it was Tiga! That Halloween episode was one of the memorable episodes I've seen. I might try and snag this as my first Ultraman figure if he doesn't sell out too fast (which I have a feeling he might).

I honestly dread retail releases nowadays. Every single pre-order is a giant pain in the butt. Even if I do manage to get an order in its up to an hour of refreshing, getting error messages, waiting, refreshing again - it's way too stressful. Tiga is very popular, he's the first Ultraman Seihou and its the anniversary. Knowing Tamashii they'll also put up a Metal Build Gundam at the same time, so AmiAmi's servers will melt faster than snow upon the surface of the sun. It's just not very fun anymore seeing a great looking figure revealed only to question myself if I'm even going to be able to order it. |

While it's been getting easier stateside with Bluefin bringing over retail figures, you never quite know when the orders go live. You're either trying to push through amiami/HLJ at 3 am or refresh BBTS/Tokullectibles/EE for days on end Sure, you'll be paying more for the P-Bandai figures, but at least you can somewhat confidently find the best price for you at your own pace before the deadline BTW, has anyone ever ordered P-Bandai through Zenmarket? I know their site has a tutorial but I wonder if there's any real upside to it versus just using any of the other hobby middle man sites |

They can also be a little slow on ordering, so if something is prone to selling out or has a limited time window, it will definitely sell out before zenmarket will get an order in.

I've used Zenmarket for a few things. I basically completely agree with ShiShiLeo -- they're reliable, but a bit slow and ultimately will cost you about as much as a middleman would anyway. I personally find them good for things that middlemen feel will be popular so they jack the price up on; but on the flipside stuff middlemen don't think will be popular can be a bit cheaper and quicker to get with them. I've switched to NinNinGame for pre-ordering Super Best OOO Driver, Juggler and Naki, for instance.

It's actually odd how I have an easier time on grabbing retail releases over P-bandai stuff. |

How's the shipping cost on 'em, though? Like, say, one SHF? Haven't tried them myself, but I've been meaning to use 'em ever since some of my local resellers have hesitated on stocking up on P-Bandai stuff.
