I'm about to jump ship too, SHF Iz will be my last

AmiAmi was a nightmare. Somehow I got a Zero-One order in for a great price but shipping restrictions are holding it back. Their used items page is great though, I got SS Double and Build Hazard there last year

BBTS seems to get all the retail releases at a reasonable price but I don't think their PO go up the same day as Japan. I would refresh their page for days at work waiting for OOO to drop

Tokullectibles had Valkrie for a pretty decent price and I managed to get a PO for Tajador in from them as well

What's a good place to get all the web exclusives?

I switched over the Anime-Export, the prices are usually better than NY and they allow me to group orders by month - another shitty thing at NY was that if two items came out the same month but were announced at different dates - tough luck, pay shipping twice.

BBTS gets retail releases through Bandai's north american distributor, not bandai japan, so thats why they have a month delay. Prices are on par with japanese releases but the downside is the delay

web exclusives are not distributed through bluefin so BBTS is working thru a middle man and jacking up the prices accordingly. There's literally no reason to go to BBTS for TWE, find your own middle man, otherwise ur just paying for an extra layer

looks like SHF Upgrade is working on a horobi set, which is MUCH needed:

Weird request but I figured I'd ask, can anyone who owns them post a pic of SHF Vulcan on the Rider Macher? I feel like Fuwa deserves a bike and the colours are a pretty close match.

SHF Upgrade now has two accessories for Vulcan on pre-order. The first being a Finisher Display and the second being a transformable Gun-Riser.

What is this SHF Upgrade and why am I only hearing about this now?

So they made the handle of the Shotriser longer? Why?

SHF Upgrade is a 3rd party maker of upgrade parts for SHF Figures. They are unofficial and based out of Hong Kong https://shfupgrade.boutir.com/

I think they are trying to make it look more like the hero prop.

It's definitely longer in the show, but it will look odd on the belt.

Not only did they go overboard on the length, it's a stupid idea really. The handles are longer on the hero props so the suit actors can have a better grip on them. When attached to the belt they're normal sized. The figures have no trouble holding them, though.

Personally I would've not changed the handle and instead retooled the belt and gun for it to properly slide in instead, rather than tabbing in. The only worthwhile thing in the set is the more detailed progrise keys.
