BBTS is doing an incredibly bizarre sale, called the "Special Find & Import Sale", and it includes a bunch of Kamen Rider Figuarts at deep discounts. Mostly just some Blade and Fourze stuff, but it's all available for preorder? I guess they've found a cheap source for unopened, like-new Figuarts from years ago, and they're expecting to have them in soon? Or they are now ordering direct from mid-2010s Japan? Either way, if you want a reasonably-priced Garren, or a dirt-cheap Fire States ($12!), take a look.

Wow good find! I'm picking up those Mask Collection sets in the hopes I get Kabuto and Gatack. However, the listing and description says its Vol.3 which is different from the picture. So who knows! But its a great price, because these things went out of print and are pretty rare.

I also threw in Fourze Magnet States because why not. What a whacky figure.

It was the weirdest thing getting up this morning/afternoon, checking my email, and seeing a BBTS email that had Figuarts Raia in the promotional image. I've no idea where they turned up a quantity of any of this, but the fact that they're promoting it all as imminently available makes me think this is really going to happen. It's one thing to turn up some old listing that's inaccurate; it's another for them to send you an email alerting you to the news. Super weird day!

(I ended up grabbing Fire States, Magnet States, and Meteor Storm. Between the unopened status, deep discounts, and low shipping, I figured I'd throw in my Pile of Loot.)

Yeah I assume they got a hold of fire sale stuff that was sitting around somewhere considering last month or so they put up stuff like Cosmic States and Scorpion Zodiarts for super-cheap along with some other older figuarts.

Was missing the 3rd Fourze switch set so for $15 shipped, why not.

A year or two back they put up a bunch of preorder for some 2007 Transformers Movie and Japanese Tramsformers Animated stuff. So it looks like they have some sort of contact who gets them old finds once in a while.

Man. This is just sad.

Not SHFUpgrade! From what I can tell they've done a fantastic job here, and even go beyond the necessary 'fix the soft plastic' thing with extras like a light-up head. But it's just so, so sad that you straight up need to replace so many parts on your figure to make it work, and at an extra price.

That said, this gives me hope that other fix kits will be made for Tiga and Shadow Moon

I mean nothing there even fixes anything. It's all aesthetic-based.

All the shoulders seem to do is size them up a bit while everything else is easy take-or-leave. Honestly those effect parts are probably the best things there.

Yea, I would've gotten this set if they sold just the effect pieces. But I have no real need for light-up stuff

Oh did you notice they increased the price on Fire States and the Mask Collection? Will they honor the original price those those of use who pre-ordered already?

I saw they had the SHFs of the main characters of Tiger and Bunny. I remember really liking that show back like 10 years ago, but wasn't collecting SHF at the time. I should really rewatch it
