I wonder if the delay with Ryugen wasn't because Bandai knew the demand for Gaim merchandise was so high that they ramped up production... but then didn't expect the disdain for Ryugen and made too many. :lol

Hmmm....this is odd, I just waltzed in and preordered Ryugen. The new episode must have really done a number on him haha.

Also darn missed out on garren again D;

Hence my last post on ze previous page good sir :lol.

I thank you good buddy :D

So I didn't actually need to wake up at 1 AM to secure a preorder for Ryugen?! Well at least I have him. Haha.

Also, for those who are on Canada and want Garren, Amazon.ca has him for $67.

Oh, I know very well how their pre-orders work, I've been at nearly major activation. More recently, they've done them in smaller and more frequent batches with the 2 major waves broken up into 2 smaller waves each, so technically 4 activations. And then Ryugen is very different from other riders in that most of them sell out in 2-5 minutes. Ryugen is sticking around for MUCH longer. Though it's been getting easier such that I don't have to stay up the extra 2-4 hours for the later wave.

Yeah, better safe than sorry. But I'm being really selective with Blade figuarts. I only have Blade and Blade King with Leangle on pre-order. No intention of getting Garren or Chalice.

It is most definitely less demand. Bluefin hasn't brought them over because of licensing limbo. And no, even wave 1 took longer to sell out than normal. It wasn't much longer, but it was definitely noticeable.

Lol, yeah, this is throwing everyone for a loop.

I have a feeling people just hate the character THAT much.

Got my AmiAmi order in for Ryugen! :lol

Yeah, I just snagged myself a Ryugen at AmiAmi as well....really odd considering I usually have to fight for my pre-orders but I'm not complaining. All of the Micchy hate has only made it easier for me :lolol

Like I've said before nobody has a taste for sour grapes...:lol

What's the status of everybody's Nippon Yasan orders with Kyoryu Pink and Black? Mine have been in "Preparation in Progress" for three, going on four days. Normally I'd pay it no mind, especially considering I ordered them within the first half hour of pre-orders, but the horrible experience others have had with Kyoryu Gold has got me paranoid. Has anyone had theirs sent out?
