Gotta love when you finally see the preorder button, but it sells put before you can even get to checkout.


At this point, just make everything Web Exclusive. Less hassle.

It's pay upfront, but Shadow Moon is up on NinNinGame

Finally make it to checkout, only to get the connection error and then finally sold out...


AmiAmi is pure garbage

Not available on Ninnin anymore heh.
As for amiami yeah...i'm starting to think that it's trash...

I would be shocked if they reboot Black without having Shadow Moon in it.

If the redesign can come close to or even top the perfection of Shadow Moon’s suit design though, that is another question entirely.

Yes.

Also this.

What really sucks is AmiAmi's preorder nonsense is starting to happen with domestic toylines. Ugh.

What baffles me the most is that European Tamashii branch refuses to try to get the Kamen Rider series Figuarts line in the European territory.

I was told by a representative of Tamashii Nations France(Cosmic Group) that the licence was pretty costly and it wouldn't sell well.

I remember them trying a few years ago with the Shinkocchou Seihou line, we had Kuuga and Agito.

Them having the Rider series on their site would clear a lot of major headache such as these >.>

I guess I'll wait for Shadow Moon to appear on Amazon Japan....

Really wants to make you give up the hobby entirely with how BS preorders have gotten.

Even with web exclusives, the increasing amount of them selling out day 1 (looking at you Ultraman Z) is getting crazy.

I wish Bandai could just do what GSC do and have designated preorder windows where preordering is never a problem.

I’ve been there too. Basically they don’t think the toys will sell unless we have the show as well. But then Toei clearly aren’t that interested in distributing the show without the toys. We just go round in circles.

I agree. It used to be super easy, just be there when pre-order open and you'll get it. Nowadays though, every pre-order is a gamble.

I honestly wouldn’t even doubt that he's correct about the "it wouldn’t sell"-aspect. But they never tried, so... could be wrong.

If they would start selling them over here that would make my collecting life very much easier though. Like, I recently started buying a few Dragonball Figuarts and these are available locally – I can basically buy them for close to what they cost in Japan, without shipping and import fees.

AmiAmi just SUCKS ASS with it’s USELESS JUNK Servers. Fuck them with a chainsaw, I’m just going to give up ever preordering again. All of these sites suck balls. I will just use Facebook Kamen Rider groups, they are almost *always* LESS than ordering from AmiAmi or HLJ or wherever. Fuck these sites, how the hell can you offer preorders when your Servers CRASH when the wind blows??????? And I WAS spending roughly 2k every 4 months there on Figuarts.... They’ve lost my business
