Heh, yeah. That'll do it alright.

So for a while I was thinking which sentai team to collect, after much.deliberation it ended up being a choice between shinkenger and kyoryuger.

After messing around with shinkenred and.kingu, I chose to go with kyoryuger. Partly because their increasing price is scaring me a wee bit, but they just look absolutely stunning together in their signature poses. Partnered with some effect parts I have it'll be well brave innit.

So amongst the Figuarts I cracked open last night were Gaim, Baron, and Zangetsu.

I love the metalic paint thesed on them, they pop under the right amount of lighting.

The bonuses work fantastically well in an Ikea detolf shelf too.

In order of rank, I'd say I like Zangetsu, Baron, and Gaim in that order.

I love the metalic red they used on Baron and Zangetsu's design has always been my favrioute from the show.

Rider figuarts will tend to sell out on CSToys from what I can remember. Sometimes Mr. S will have some exclusives left over on the main site. S.H. Figuarts Imperialdramon and the DBZ figuarts are still left in stock most likely due to lack of pre-orders. Bluefin releases those figures in America, so not many people choose to pre-order them on CSToys.

I like paying upfront for pre-orders then having the payment be done when the figure is ship out which is why I don't pre-order on AmiAmi. I feel like I won't have the money when the figure comes out, so I rather pay it right off the bat to get it done and over with. I do the same at Gamestop by paying the whole pre-order for a game then paying for it on the last minute.

I like doing normal orders via amiami and the like, it's nice to have some space to manage your finances, with exclusives though gotta pay half upfront since I use okinawa a lot.

Okay. Looks like I'll lean towards preordering then.

What's the difference between a middleman site that sells exclusives and a toy site that sells exclusives?

I just create a account on Nippon Yasan. What's the best shipping choice because I plan to buy Kamen Rider Gaim Orange Arms next week with my next pay check. Economic seems the cheapest, but there's no tracking number.

I'd just pick Economy Registered. It's the second cheapest and does offer tracking.

Continuing through my Figuarts backlog, I've gotten around to opening my Dekarangers.

Is it just me or are the D-Knuckles a lot tighter on the girls than they are the guy's holsters?

Also broke out the Hurricangers too, Hurricane Yellow and Blue's wrist feels almost as scary as Kyoryured's.

Well technically nothing at all. Regarding exclusives they all do the same thing, act as the middleman. The only differences is that some may charge differently or offer only one type of shipping. Like cstoys prefers to only send exclusives via EMS for safety.
