Now that I have Gridon in hand I can confirm (subjectively) that Gridon Kiwi Arms is damn awesome :lol

Mine needs to hurry up and get here. : (

So pre-orders open up at 16:00 tomorrow japan time right? IIRC, 1 in the morning if you're stateside and live on the East Coast?

Gridon...was not the next one I was expecting. No complaints from me though :D

Figuarts Gridon looks pretty good. Again, with him being exclusive it makes me wonder about Bravo.

3500 Gaim on mandarake-

Aww man so that 2000 yen Zangetsu I ordered on Mandarake was cancelled, guess I was too slow off the bat.

Really can't wait for Sunday now, Cstoys is pretty much the only reliable retailer when you miss out on preorders and the such. Well provided you're fast enough at activation.

Also on topic, I really REALLY like the kachidoki gun, it's such a nice looking weapon, even though I don't usually collect weapons, when I see a nice looking gun toy I'm going for it. And it's nice to see that the other Energy Riders are getting toys, though I'm surprised Duke was the first one to appear outside of Shin Zangetsu, thought they'd push Sigurd out first.

Pre-orders for what?

EDIT: Also, Peach Energy demo.

If you mean for Gridon, no, he's exclusive. He's up on Nippon Yasan right now, though.

If you mean Ryugen and Zangetsu, no one knows when those are going up. It could be next week, it could be the end of the month, it could even be as late as the end of March. You just kind of have to wait and see.

I found the FRESH Pine lockseed today, so happy.
Now I just need to get the Fresh Orange one.
