That would be more like "I buy 2 of a lot of figures. One to keep, and one to sell to people cheaply because I can get them for cost at my job" :D

ANd seriously I'd have to check so many of those boxes I just can't. So time intensive.

Was up at Little Tokyo in LA all day with my gf and her mom for my gf's birthday, had a blast.

...ended up coming home with Ryuki Survive haha. Wish they had the regular Ryuki with Dragredder, but hey this guy is beautiful. My first Figuart with this particular body type and it is a fantastic one. Nice surprise seeing that he came with a stand. Was either this guy or Zolda, but I've been mostly just getting the main rider of my favorite seasons and I just don't have the room for Zolda's box and accessories.

Also got a cool little keychain, it's a Last One switch that lights up red when you press the button.

Uh... yeah...

I used to do that. I owned 2 of every MOTUC, GI Joe, and Transformers figure. Let's just say it wasn't worth it and it took up way too much space.

Since all the cool kids are doing it.

I'm basically going for all the main Rider base forms, the secondary Riders and which ever Sentai teams I happen to like a lot, otherwise it's just the Reds.

Found this photo shop of what a Figuarts Blade Kingform would look like:

If the real thing ends up looking as good as this photo shop…tickle me interested

Oh my god that's beautiful!

What kind of sorcery is this?

Okay. I don't keep them, I buy the extras to sell. And since I get them at cost which is nearly half of retail, they sell pretty quick. Doesn't take up much space when they aren't here very long :p

Please Gosei make that a thing!

I didn't know you were interested in Blade.

I haven't seen much of the show, I have to watch more. But I love the designs. There's not one bad design in this series.

Oh? Well, you really should check it out. It's a really good series.
And I do agree on the designs. I love them all!

I watched and enjoyed the first episode. I just can't remember why I didn't keep it going.

Me neither :lol
Blade is awesome.

I'll have to watch some tonight.

I tell you this: SH Figuarts Blade is an absolute thing of Beauty.

True statement :lol

This figuarts Blade talk has really perked my interest in the series. Might have to bump it up to the next series I watch after Amazon...

Yeah, definitely feel like it is a series I should have on my watch list. I like the designs, and the medieval motif it has (I think...right?) or at the very least the card idea (big poker fan) is kinda nice as well.

Wonderful!
You won't be disappointed!

It's spreading, Matrix :lol

Got an email from BBTS...apparently with their shipment of Scissors they won't have the stand :(

How exactly does that work? Surely because its an exclusive the stand would be packed in with the figure itself...

Id have thought the stage would have come with Volcancer.

I got Flame Style and Water Style over the weekend. They're definitely not quite as good as Flame Dragon.

Has anyone tried any fixes on Flame Style to get that stupid Wizard driver to not fall off as much, or should I just glue the fucker?

Also, why the hell is it so hard to get the flared out robes on? I couldn't get the figure back together with the alternate robe. :(

very nice looking figures. I feel the big feet stand are more noticeable on the default forms, but not quite so much on Flame Dragon.

This. I think the stand has always only come with with Contract Monster, just for Ryuki and Knight, the Monster came with the Rider.

There's no picture on there, but Scissors' preorder page clearly states that he comes with a stand.

Not to mention there's no real reason to include pre oder bonuses since he's made to order.

That's interesting. The middleman I was thinking to use doesn't list the pedestal.

The main body
5-seed replacement right wrist, left wrist replacement one
• Replacement card deck × 1
Advent-card four species
Scissor-visor × 1
Shell Defense × 1
Scissor-pinch × 1

And Yokatta doesn't have it up for pre-order yet.

You know guys, the Scissors preorder page was linked to heavily on the Riders On Stage promotional page for some odd reason.

It may be because Scissors comes with one of the promotional Tamashii Stages, not the usual Advent Deck stage included with the monsters. Why only Scissors and not any other Tamashii Web exclusive? Of all the coming releases, I guess Bandai thought sales of him needed the biggest boost? He is the least significant of any exclusive Rider up to September...

Just a thought, because I can't read me any moonrunes and can only make my own inference.

Dunno if its been reported, but i got an email from bbts saying ryuuranger was available for preorder now

More from Bluefin:

Guess this means we can see them in September then.

Just a heads up, Blade and the Cyclone go up for preorder on AmiAmi at 3am EST:

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/det...=TOY-TOK-03439

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/det...=TOY-TOK-03440

Wait, he is going up that late? Well, I'll just preorder him when I get up in the morning as I have to work at 7.

That's 4pm in Japan. And good luck.

I think since Bluefin will be carrying these 2 I'll hold off. I can always pick them up at work for below retail. And there's nothing in either of those releases for Bluefin to remove so I'll be (hopefully) safe relying on them. Anything Akibaranger related however, I will not be taking a chance on.

Bluefin's teasing a Ranger Figuart to be revealed around 4 AM EST... Probably gonna be the MMPR White Ranger.

Edit: Make that 3 AM, and yep, just White Ranger.

I tried to get in on Blade. Site lagged for 20 minutes. Blade sold out. Hopefully they add more like they did with the last wave of orders. I'll just get Venusaur for now.

I managed Blade and the Cyclone, but the Cyclone was TOUGH. AmiAmi doesn't seem to be selling Sailor Moon to their foreign customers just yet. Kind of meh on that anyway.
