Yeah, I only had Dragon Ranger in my order so maybe those with other items have to wait. But I am considering adding Super Akiba Red to my order. After seeing him in show, its slowly growing on me. Also I missed out on the first Akiba Red as well..

Sort of. I preordered him with TyrannoRanger.

I preordered 2 Dragon Rangers along with 2 Tyranno and 1 Ryuranger. From my experience with Amiami, they should still sell them separately. I'm sure we'll get our requests soon.

Bluefin's picture was indeed the Shinkengers, but they are in a metallic shine paint job.

To be honest, I am disappointed because that means Red is going to look out of place.

More disappointed its a con exclusive.

I can deal with that since Amazon and BBTS should be selling the set regardless, albeit, a bit more on the price side.

^this. I already have Super Shinken Red but I would not mind having the rest of the team in a shiny metallic candy coating. But exclusives tend to be on the more unaffordable side for me.

SDCC exclusives get sold on onlines sites?

Yeah. Sometimes it is the people selling that sells them directly. Sometime they have a store sell them. However, usually those stores will buy them and sell them to other people. This is normal.

Yeah the only way I think you can miss out on a Bluefin exclusive is to put off buying it for years. The cheetoh Godzilla is a SDCC exclusive, for example.

this is a pretty cool set for the con, but since ive already got the original shinkengers, and im not THAT big a fan of the show, i can skip this. Good choice though, Gokaigers wouldve made zero sense this year

I hate the show but seeing as I only have Gold, and Normal/Super/Hyper/Princess Reds, this saves me quite a bit of trouble hunting the other 4 over time. $200 is a steal for a 5-pack.

Indeed, considering that Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink are currently going for 100$ a piece.

I'm just a little weary if recasting yellow and pink again will make the tolerances worse.

As a late comer to figuarts, I find it a bargain for all five. I might not be the biggest fan of the show, but even a lackluster figuarts is far above what we're used to from BoA. Plus it's quite the sight to have the main team together.

They've only been through one limited web exclusive run so far. We're not talking about Classics Starscream here :p I'd say these things should hold up just fine for a second run.

I've seen Green/Blue/Yellow/Pinks selling in the the 4000-6000 range pretty regularly but that's before I pay shipping. So yeah they would be nearly $100 each right now. I like the metallic paint, I don't love it, but dealing with that is a small price to pay to get the 4 that I don't have. It's just such a good deal for these 5.

Amen brotha!

Not really, Ive seen em on jungle for about 60 apiece, and even EMS, itd maybe 80.

So how long do I have to get a job before the Zyuranger, Dairanger, Hurricanger, and Jetman figuarts come out? Because they're the big purchases outside of my new computer , a certain DVD set, and maybe getting the PS4 at launch for this year I'm planning on doing.

Well, 2 of the Jetman figrues came out already (black & Red), 2 Dairangers are due out this summer (Ryu & Kiba), as are 2 Zyurangers (Tyrrano & Dragon) with a third this fall (Ptera), and Hurricane Red also comes out in August I believe.

Well the Dairanger and Hurricanger ones (aside from the reds and Kibaranger) are yet to be revealed, so a good while potentially :lol
The Zyus will probably be complete by the end of the year/early 2014. Unless they mix up the releases before then I'd like to assume Jetman would follow.

I can't wait til I can have a full Jetman Team. I was hoping once the team was complete I could get them in packs, rather than building the team over the years.

My heart leaps at the thought of getting the rest of the Jetman. I need them soon!

As for the Shinkengers, I mentioned this before, but you just gotta be patient if you want the normal versions that in my opinion look a heap better and I think will likely be less or similarly priced to the aftermarket SDCC exclusives. I got Gold, Yellow, Pink, Blue and Green all at the same time and the full order was around $200-220 including shipping. ShinkenRed and Super ShinkenRed were about $20-25 each and then Hyper ShinkenRed was about $30-35. The only one I got really ripped off on was Princess ShinkenRed which I bought as fast as I could because my partner loved her and I bought her on eBay for $60. I've since seen her for as little as $25. Later I got Fuwa Juzo for $40. In the end I got all 10 Shinkenger Figuarts for about $380 all up over the course of months, which in the end I'm happy with, even though I could've saved like $35 by being patient with Princess ShinkenRed.

I'd love a Juzo Figuart but I've never been able to find one.

Hey Locke: CS Toys :lol

Just got a shipping estimate on my MMPR Green Ranger from Amazon...

August 28th.

Umm.

What??

That's a pretty insane price. It's better to wait for Mandarake or Hobby Entertainment Jungle. He's fairly common on them for 3000-4500 Yen.

Still no invoice for Dragon Ranger. Just got one for D-Arts Blastoise. I've contacted them inquiring if there's something wrong. Dealing with HLJ has made me assume the worst in all sites, but I think I'm safe with Amiami.

EDIT: Like here

Sounds like they're anticipating customs delays which can take about a month from experience, so that sounds about right if it happens. So that date could be subject to change.

And I'll be in school by then so need to change the delivery address. But don't know if that's necessary or not yet. >_<

But if Dragon Ranger miraculously pops back in stock after exiting the pre-order status and I still haven't gotten a payment request for my June order of Beast* and Blastoise, I'll be adding him there for sure...

*I wonder if the delay there isn't a matter of pairing all of those stages properly?

Might wanna have a look at this site, Locke:

I know the owner, I deal with him on a regular basis. He's a super nice guy and I can't recommend buying from him enough.

He operates in Canada, FYI.

S.H. Figuarts Armored Red Ranger has been announced by Bluefin on their Facebook page:

Juuzo for 3000 yen on Mandarke

Yay! Dragonranger invoice got and all paid for! Will probably be sent today too by EMS! Can't wait!

Where'd you preorder?! I hope I get mine soon/

Amiami. It took a day longer to get the invoice then some others, but I got it so now I'm happy. The release date for him's not til tomorrow, so don't stress.

How am I always unable to find these things...then I say I can't find it and everyone finds it...I'm just a moron honestly. Right that should come to around 4000 yen now I've done that on Mandrake, so that is about 30 quid, awesome!

Thanks for everyone who found me links!

Still not had my amiami payment request. Curious, but no matter.

EDIT: Scratch that, just came in :D

Just got my payment request for Beast and Blastoise... And what do you know, Dragon Ranger is back in stock. As much as I would have liked the American packaging, at the cheaper price and much, much earlier arrival date, I've added him to my order...

Now to await the payment request again. :P

Do I want Dragon Ranger while he is super cheap on AmiAmi? Do I want Tyranno Ranger with the Dragon Shield? Do I want any of this or am I buying for the sake of buying and nostalgia?

Just got my payment request for Cho Akiba Red & Dragon Ranger too! :D

Just got my payment request due to date for it to be payed is next Friday so I be paying It on Thursday next week due to I get payed so yea me
