What time does the stream for the Figuart reveal from Bandai start today and the 3 countdowns as well any one know?

It starts in 6 hours. So, it's 7pm for me.

...Right when I'm busy cooking, huh?

AmiAmi's pre-order discount on Dark Kiva is so awful that a figure with a higher MSRP ends up being cheaper. Jesus.

One is a reissue with less accessories (I think), and the other is a desirable character.

They know what's up...

Brand new figure. But they definitely know what's likely going to sell better, yes.

Really? I thought it was Kou Kyo Kyoku figure but without the sounds.

Yup. It's bound to look similar since it's the same suit, but the SHMA is completely new. It's not only the lack of electronics but also the scale; the Kou Kyo Kyoku Godzilla was bigger than regular SHMA's.

And as predicted, 5 minutes trying to fight AmiAmi's awful servers, only for Dark Kiva to be sold out before I can even get to the cart.


They must not like my money.

Well... Huh. I was initially thinking I was a bit rusty because of not wanting a lot for a while. Was able to tap add to cart on Dark Kiva on AmiAmi immediately on time in one device and sat refreshing the other for 5 minutes before seeing the sold out notice on the second.

But the first actually added to cart and I checked out 1 minute later. So... actually pretty nice? Still, that predictably and sadly fast.

Edit: Oh and of course the night of a Tamashii drop is also when they finally send me my payment request for last month's order lol. Right at 2 AM too. Yeah not even gonna bother trying to get through checkout to do that right now.

At this point, I'd rather they just make everything Premium Bandai. At least I wouldn't have to wait until 2 in the morning just to deal with this
