Huh, I don't know. I've never searched for just exclusives. I personally would probably drop the store part, to be more inclusive, just in case, but I usually try to find a string for the specific item I'm looking for, rather than say all web exclusives.

Challenge accepted. Well, I need to get a Blade first :lol.

IF someone will sell me their BladeBlade cheaply then I'm game.

So... anyone manage to get Mandarake to work yet? Still only showing sold items for me.

Been working for me. Never had that issue.

Been working fine for me as well.

Ah. That's because every listing for the item I was looking for was sold out. Other searches are yielding both, but I found the show only available button... Been far too long since I tried using this.

Sorry to keep bugging everyone with questions, but Google doesn't seem to be much help today.

Anyone know if there is a list of the Figuarts figures that haven't received re-releases? I'm pretty sure that's the cause of my Diend hunting failure. But I was curious primarily so I know how to prioritize upcoming purchases based on scarcity. Thanks, as always, for all the help everyone!

Also they changed the search results design again. Overnight.

It's really annoying because now the thumbnail listings don't show the full item name.

...that's what the pictures are for.

use Thumbnail View 1, they're bigger images, so more of the name shows up too.

Ah yes, because as we all know you can copy text from pictures.

Also, thumbnail pictures don't mean a whole lot when they're either A) terrible, or B) you want to know it's condition.

yeah, well, I thought you just meant browsing, cuz that's what I was doing when I read your message.

I have a hard time not buying things from Mandarake. Like every week now. lol. I use the pictures to figure out what I'm looking at, I never rely on the titles. I mean, it's just gibberish to me anyway unfortunately. :(

With you on that, too many things end up catching my eye and my wallet does its sadness dance. Probably doesn't help that the first item on my bookmarks bar is a folder containing quick links to various searches like ryuki, figuarts, figma etc....

The deals are so good most of the time, even if you're just buying one thing. Plus SAL shipping is cheap, and I don't mind the wait. It's hard to beat. If it wasn't for Mandarake I would have much of a collection, there would be so many gaps. They make me want to buy things I wouldn't normally either.. lol. I'm still figuring them out though, I'm not sure how often their prices fluctuate. I've noticed in general they seem pretty aware of secondary market prices and sometimes aren't a great deal, but generally are well priced even after shipping.

Thing is, how can I browse when I can't spell what I'm browsing?

I can't spell Kamen Rider in Japanese Kanji on an English keyboard. So I search something in English I know will bring up KR stuff, like "SIC" and copy the Kanji for Kamen Rider.

Or you could, you know, google translate the simple words like rider and sentai. For anything more complicated just got to the shows wiki pages and copy/paste the title character name etc. Works great for me.

That's pretty much what I do, too. Except for those times I have to beg around here for kanji I can't find elsewhere.

for browsing figuarts, both 'shf' and 'figuart' works well, I've saved a few searches for other wide-ish terms, like various KR show names, and a simple 'mg' finds plenty of Gundam Master Grade results, so I'll brows through those, now with the big thumbnails to see what catches my eye.

If you're looking for a specific item in order to setup a search, browse through a general search to find the item, then open the detail page to see the full title to get the kanji you need.

Or that's how I do it, anyway.

Which is actually more work.

The whole point of this is not the ability to do it, which is never in question, but the ease of which it takes. Before it was simply look at the search results and find the Kanji there. Now I have to actually go to item pages. Not the end of the world by any strech, merely tedious when I'm searching multiple things, but doable. Now you're suggesting I take more time to translate or seek out the text elsewhere? I think the point got lost along the way in this conversation.

That's what I do now, and before this change, the bolded part wasn't part of the process.

I'm not trying to make it out like it's a huge deal, but I'm not sure what I'm saying is clear.

It's extra weird when you consider the new format for search results doesn't, like, save space since all the results are the same size as before. It literally just removes text for no reason, making searching just a teensy bit more tedious.

Well, just sent my payment in for Hurricane Red at AmiAmi, anybody who has a preorder for him in, be expecting your emails soon.

I haven't received anything for him or Infinity yet.

Won't Hurricane Red just come with a Hurricane Red sticker? I want to know how to get RyuuRanger specifically.

Wizard Infinity isn't until next week, same as Abyss.

They don't release them all at the same time?

No, I don't believe that's ever been the case. Releases are always staggered to some degree.

Im guessing your best bet will be like the Rider Stage promotion, either Mandarake or JUNGLE, both have gotten a good amount of the Rider stages, so I guess they will likewise be getting the Sentai stickers, glad I added a stage set to my HUrricaneRed order to use :lol

What stage set did you order?

I opened up Violent Emotion Decade...

For Matrix:

Next she'll call Spike and they'll bury him in the ground.

Get your own Decade, I aint putting my SHFs in the dirt.

No, the stickers come in packs of three. Which you're supposed to CHOOSE when you buy the figures. Since Amiami aren't going to offer you the choice, it's kinda hard to say which he'll come with. Logically it may be the pack with he Hurricaneger sticker, but we won't know until people actually start receiving them.

The Act. 4 for humaniod, the usual for SHFs.

They better not give me any Akiba stickers since I have no use for them.

But where do you see a stage that comes with the stickers? Unlike HurricaneRed, which states it has a campaign bonus, none of the stands do.

I meant that I got just an extra stand set, none of the stands themselves come with the stickers, just the figures. :lol

And I think that the 3 sticker sets will have 3 stickers each. Cant remember exactly the way they are made, but I do know that one akibaranger will come with one of the reds, along with something else.

Dude that's not what he's talking about. He's just saying he purchased a set of Act 4's to go with Hurricane Red. Nobody knows which decals they're getting. Amiami just updated everyone's orders to include a bonus decal. No one was received the figures yet so no one knows what we're getting. It's possible that Hurricane Red would come with his own decal but it could be random.

Could you take a second to actually LOOK at the promotion? EVERY set comes with Akibaranger stickers.

After reading this, I went to AmiAmi for the fun of it, and since Hurricane Red was still in stock, I added to my order with Abyss and Ryu Ranger.

Unfortunately. I added a model kit to that order yesterday, not realizing that while it said In Stock, the listing was for a Back Order item. Once Abyss is in stock, will they ship me everything except that kit, or will they hold it all for that kit to arrive?

Dont quote me, but its all in one order, Im pretty sure theyll wait until everything is in stock. Never ever ordered anything backirdered so not sure.

ha ha! I quoted you. :p

I've heard from others that sometimes AmiAmi splits their orders for them, but I've not really paid attention to why. So I was wondering if this might be a case where they do.

I told you not to! :p

Ive never really ordered more than a fee things from them at a time, and obly preorded from the last few months, and even then its just a couple things,so I dont know how they do split orders.
