Man, I wish I had some more money to burn at the moment, because that Nippon Yasan sale is insane. Would totally pick up Boost and a couple of Gaim figs (and a couple of figmas) if I could. Darn.

No shit, I'm incredibly tempted by some stuff as well. Zeronos Vega for 20 bucks? That's great... but I must stay strong, I need the money for that glorious shifting gun robot.

Can't branch out into secondary Rider's alternate forms now...

I own most of the SHF Riders on sale there and they're all solid. If any of you don't have them & were interested, they're each worth it.

It kind of makes me sad that so many Gaim SHFs are on sale there. After initial worries about some of those disappearing after release, all of those aren't difficult to find for a decent price. If that's indicative of interest in Gaim cooling significantly, I'm not too optimistic of Bandai going back to the Gaim well for more SHFs (not that I had much hope left at this point, but still).

It's all based on character popularity really. If I remember correctly I saw Sigurd, Marika and Ryugen Yomi on sale and those aren't the most popular characters form the show. Sigurd and Marika never were, and most people started to hate everything Micchy related with a passion after you-know-what happened in the show.

It's not really an indication for the overall popularity of the show, I doubt that cooled off over the years.

But I don’t know if Bandai will give us more Gaim SHF’s either, the problem is that most of what’s left are one-shot villains or very brief or minor form changes and stuff.

I was tempted to jump on the Knuckle, because he's the last Gaim figure I need, but Registered SAL costs as much as the figure at ¥2,800. I haven't done business with them in a while and now I remember why. Sad, too, they had a good bit of stuff I'd have liked to have ordered over the month.

Wow, I literally just paid 1k for rsal from Mandarake, I know NY jacks up their shipping, but thats an insane shipping mark up.

Ok, i think you are looking at the wrong shipping. You want eco sal registered, which looks like normal sal shipping ,the 2700 one seems to be sal parcel.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting different rates. It was ¥2,800 for the regular ECO Registered, not ¥2,700 when I went to order. I tried to check again, but the shipping rates are different now for some reason. Now it's showing EMS for ¥1,800. I'm fairly confused at this point.

I feel strongly that extra blades for Brave's sword are something he needs. The double-sided version showed up - what? - once in the series so far?

I just realized how poorly I worded that. I didn't mean "they don't" as in they don't need them, but rather that they don't come with them. I definitely agree he needs the extra blades. I just forgot how to write in English apparently.

But yeah.
