Has HLJ been getting better with preorders? I haven't heard of people getting shorted on something from them since issues with some Transformer MP preorders a while back, but maybe it's occurred with products I don't follow as much so that could still be cropping up from time to time for all I know.
My HLJ order for AC Zangetsu mysteriously disappeared after it's been in the private warehouse for weeks. Just saying.

Mine are perfect, although I admit I never had any problems with Kyoryu Red either, despite having swapped his arms and hands well over a dozen times.
I did have a little trouble getting Kyoryu Blue's hand around the handle of the Stego Shield (its big), but in the end it got on there perfectly and he holds it very securely. Damn, all three of the new Sentai releases are amazing. Words cannot describe how upset I am that every week there seems to be half a million Kamen Rider releases announced and there's only 4 upcoming Sentai full stop, all coming out within three months and all from either Kyoryuger or Zyuranger. I have no interest in the Kamen Rider stuff, so this is really worrying me. I love my Sentai figuarts and I have them all so its not like its a nice break to catch up or anything... Bandai, start announcing new Sentai releases, like, yesterday! Still, these guys rock! Mammoth Ranger was always my favorite Ranger, I liked Goushi a lot. The Kyoyugers are really done well, they're absolutely packed with accessories and therefore have so many unique display options. I could gripe about the lack of Gaburicannons, but I think the inclusion of the Armed On modes and eventual Kentrospiker make up for it. Blue and Green come with a Drikelance, assumedly edited to make Kentrospiker, although I can't actually work out how it'd be different to the one that will come with Kyoryu Pink. Mammoth Ranger likewise has a Tricera Lance with pegs and a Ryugekiken with slots for the Howling Cannon. I'm still going to whine about the lack of a Ranger Gun, Ranger Sword and Thunder Slinger, though. I really think that sucks. Something of note, Mammoth Rangers Moth Breaker lacks detail on the medal, it looks like the same deal for the Tricera Lances and Sabre Daggers too. Weird, I was really impressed with the Ryugekiken included such tiny details, especially considering the medal on the Ryugekiken is much smaller. The Dino Bucker keeps the Mammoth image, though. Its very minor, but I think its sort of interesting none the less. All in all though, all three are fantastic beautiful figures. I can't wait for the last of the teams.

Strangely, IA also has some of the Gokaigers listed as "back ordered". They were sold out, but guessing we're getting a second windfall due to SMF. Well, just FYI for the locals or those who missed out the first time like I did. Check out the site. |

Ok, KR Odin & KyoryuRed are ordered. Amazoned them, and Red was $27 FYI. So thanks guys, for making me so jelly I dipped in my trip fund. And settling on the Thunder Rangers/Gouraigers from either Midtown Comics or Image Anime. Lol

Kyoryu Red is a beautiful and fun figure, you won't regret it!

I've never had a problem with HLJ before, guess I've been lucky. I order Transformers and Gunpla from them from time to time, and recently had a couple of orders that were around $150 each shipped and everything I preordered and ordered was available. I am cautious, but it's a last resort.

So this is kind of annoying. The arms on my Hurricane Red and Bouken Blue are suddenly stiff as hell. I cannot even move them without using force and I have no idea why since they were not like that when I first bought them.

Get a tiny bit of shock oil in the shoulder joints. That'll loosen them back up with a bit of gentle movement.
My Ouja and Hurricane Red were the same way. I've even had some Transformers who would suddenly get stiff joints after a long time.

How do you get the oil inside the joints?
