If you're looking for preorders for the Gaim figuarts, try Anime Export, it's where I got my preorders in as it was sold out pretty much everywhere else!

Mandarake has the Mango/Kiwi for 2000 and Ichigo/Pine for 3000 at the moment.

For a brief moment there was a Zangetsu on mandarake for 2000yen. I got my order in but it's disappeared from in stock, do you think I was too slow?

I just got a sound Ankh lockseed. It's really beat , but I can't get it to say banana ice - it has a weird cycling system that somehow responds to multiple cuts of the knife. 3-ish gets orange ice and 5-ish gets budo ice, but no banana...

That's odd. It should be-

1st push- ANKH!
Push after that (This is considered the 2nd push)- ANKH ARMS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
1 Push after the second- ORANGE ICE!
2 Pushes after the second- BANANA ICE!
3 Pushes after the second- BUDOU ICE!

Legend rider set on mandrake for 1500yen.

Decided to cancel my order for AC Gaim Jinba Lemon Arms. As much as I want the armor I've got other things I'd rather spend money on than a second Gaim, even if he does have a new belt and helmet.

Planning on buying a Sengoku Driver and some lock seeds in about 2 weeks or so. Is there a site that is trustworthy enough and cheap where I can buy one?

Soooo that Figuarts Gridon.

I gotta say I'm not liking the look of his figuart, it seems to lack a certain bulk about it and something about the colour feels off.

Kinda feel good about sticking with the AC series for the riders outside of the main four haha.

Mandarake has two up for $55.
