Hmm. From the way the site seems to word it I'd imagine "A" is where the box has been opened just to check everything is present and correct, whereas B is where its been opened and figure removed for a while for display before packing it all back up for sale. I can't imagine it's going to be missing anything.

Yeah the site gives really vague descriptions of what to expect but I'm hoping it doesn't end up just being the figure and nothing else.

It won't be just the figure. In my experience Jungle is a lot pickier over the used items it buys than AmiAmi and Mandarake. I doubt they'd buy something that was incomplete, let alone sell it.

That is reassuring at least.

Heck, when I was buying Region 2 DVDs, Anime Jungle sold me Mothra vs Godzilla for $25 less than its new price just because it was missing the cardboard obie on the side.

EDIT: Oh crap, DekaGreen is on Mandrake for 2500Y (well 3000Y due to fee). Hope my order goes through.

Trying out my Trident stage :D

Jungle has never sold me a figuart that was any less than perfect. the odd box scuff from time to time, but never any issues with the figures or accessories.

only time i got kinda screwed was on DX Gosei Great, they sold me one missing the dragons neck portion. But it was only £10 so i dont care

I guess time will tell whether I got ripped or not.

Dude, stop stealing my negativity!! That is my gig.

:lol

I mean I KNOW MY FIGURE IS B BUT IT'S GONNA COME AND ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS WILL BE ACHIEVED.

*dramatic pose...explosion*!

:p

The new Akibas are looking fiiiine

http://blog.amiami.com/amiblo/2013/06/17-02.html

Yeah, but still it is disappointment that Akiba blue & yellow have no huge diffrence from Season1 suit. Just making hair style diffrently makes me hesitate to buy those stuffs.

I do like that there are some little body differences too (like the kanji on yellow's panties and Blue's garters) but yeah, I can see these shelf warming hard unless the powers really sell more casual fans on them.

Well, AkibaBlue is a new character. So in that regard, Blue is at least a bit more enticing to pick up then Yellow is.

Don't they come with the Penultimate powers. That will probably be reason to buy them for lots of people

They do indeed! Which is why I must have them, and I'm an Akibaranger completionist. There's no way I'd pass up new figures, no matter how small the new tooling on them is :D

does Red come with that hand gun? I JUST got the first series Akiba red and honestly don't care for the armored version...but do want the new girls.

i think the season 2 figures are ones for the sales for me. im not buying them full retail, especially in a year with so many Sentai figures due.

No, Super Akiba Red doesn't come with any of the Penultimate powers. Blue comes with 2 of them and Yellow comes with the other.

sweet! then just need dem girls!

Yeah, but I can either get Dragon, Tyranno, Ryuu, or I can get the AKibas, as such, I choose the former.

I've been contemplating whether to get Tyrano or Dragon just for the sake of my childhood but I guess I'll just wait for them to come down in price.

I preordered dragon and super akiba red, i plan on gettin tyranno preordered when i get those 2 and the other two akibas i can wait on.

With how popular MMPR Red and Green are, a part of me doubts they'll stick around long enough for some kind of sale to happen.

Yeah probably not, even more reason for me to not buy figures I'm half into anyway I guess.

Exactly why im preorderin em :lol because my luck theyll sell out everywhere before i can get em when released :lol

Nostalgia and fear they really will be that popular is the only thing that's making me keep my MMPR Green pre-order.

Speaking of, I was checking out what I've got set up for the end of the month at AmiAmi, and I noticed all of the SHF Beasts except the one that come with the Beast stand are in stock. For any interested.

Which makes me curious - did anyone who got Flame Dragon and Machine Winger from AmiAmi actually get the correct stands? Don't remember anyone here posting about them.

Anyone here from las vegas? Making a trip out there this weekend and was wondering if there are any good shops with figuarts arroud??

With Figuarts, you can rarely ever go wrong if there's something about a figure that catches you're eye.

They're still available for pre order on AmiAmi, FYI.

So cheap as well >.<

No, I will fight my urge, otherwise the Greed will come for me!

So the Deka girls are pretty cool. I don't know what they did, but the SPD badges actually sit in their holsters tightly so they do not slide out every time you tilt the figure like they do on Red and Blue. Sadly though, they still haven't found a way to make the gun sit in its holster without falling off every time you move the leg.

Verde is kinda cool, but the highlight for me is the effects set which just down right rocks.

The holster issue was fixed up pretty nicely with Green too, glad to hear its carried over to the girls.

But not with blue ;-;

Oh God, mine really will come with most of the accessories missing and the ones it does come with will just fall off D:

:p

It's not awful with Blue, it just has a habit of slipping out when you're handling the figure :lol

It would seem most figuarts aren't made to be touched anyway...

I don't have the license in the holster anyway. I don't want it to fall out and not notice it and lose it. It's not like you can see it unless you look at them from the back anyway.

Not on my blue. It is worse than Red's holder on mine.

Look at this:

His badge stays in while I have him like that, but I cannot display Blue in the same manner because his badge won't even stay still.

Anyway, I was trying to figure out what the white gun was and then I realized those are the guns they carry when they aren't transformed. Did they ever use them when they were transformed? I don't remember such, but I haven't watched Deka since it first aired.

BTW, how do the Deka girls hold their badges? They don't seem to have hands for them.

um Hi guys this isnt really a figuarts question more a question concerning the site I buy from. I have been buying various Japanese toys from AmiAmi for about a year now and I ALWAYS use the cheapest shipping option but I am getting a bit tired of waiting two weeks per package =/ is the air mail option (for about twice as much as unregistered sal) worth it? How long does it take? is EMS any good?

any help is greatly appreciated

I don't know about that air mail thing, but EMS is very quick. If there are any delays, it's usually from your local post office and/or US Customs. But even then it will fall into the 3-5 day range. I used to do EMS all the time because I was impatient. In retrospect, since my money was somewhat limited, that wasn't very smart. I've taken to using SAL now unless it's a huge order and the difference between SAL and EMS is negligible. While SAL does take time, I get to buy more figures with the same amount of money.

EMS is super fast, but it can be a bit pricey. Around $20-30 CAD usually from Japan for me.

I also have a not-quite Figuarts but related question involving Ryuki and the hard to find Figuarts. I'm liking the Ryuki show and even have Ryuki on the way. There's some really cool designs I want like Knight and Gai, but they're freaking impossible to find or crazy money. (Gai is over $100!)The Figmas, on the other hand, look not bad and are super good prices. Are they good stand-ins, at least until I can find the Figuarts? (I'd still get Knight if I could find him since the Figuart has his contract monster)

Also I don't know who Odin is but I saw his pre-order and I want him.
