TBH Bandai seems to be getting better at not making Riders exclusive - Abyss and Chalice are figures I would have fully expected to be web exclusives, and yet they weren't.

Nippon-Yasan came through and cancelled my previous pre-orders for me so I went ahead and re-ordered everything again separately.

Now I'll have Shin, Tiger Ranger, Gridon and Bravo to look forward to later this year.

I think Robo Rider and Bio Rider will likely be retail releases. I rarely see the main transformations of the main rider be exclusives expect for Wizard.

Well Den-O's other forms were all exclusives so far but that's not really setting a precedent. Still I'd almost guarantee Robo & Bio will be exclusive. Look at Stronger Charge Up or the alternate colorations of Skyrider and Rider 2.

Actually, that's my bad. Oops.
I rescind!

Delta arrived a few minutes today and it is AWESOME :D.

I think that was kind of because they had released two Imagin in retail, and since Den-O was in 2007, it wasnt as popular anymore, so they released them exclusively in case the other forms aside from Sword didnt sell. Though I wish they had been, so I can get Ax Form for a reasonable price :(

Am I the only one who's expecting them to be a two-pack deal like Den-O Rod an Gun Forms?

Oh I hope they're a two pack. That'd be excellent.

Passed on an opened (but in new condition) SH Figuarts Ryuga for $76.25 shipped :(

Black RX Is popular enough to where I can see a retail release happening.

Am I the only one who would display Black RX with Tyranno Ranger, Tricera Ranger, Kiba Ranger, Tiger Ranger, and Mammoth Ranger to recreate a scene from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 episode "A Friend In Need"?

Daaaaamn boss! Yeah I might've had to jump on that too. But then again, I'm thinking of skipping getting Gokai Green & Silver for $42 & $48 on Amazon until I'm back from my trip home.

Been meaning to ask: what's the big deal with Stronger's base & Charge Up figures? I don't see a difference, like the Season Tsu Akib Girls. Then again, you guys are the authority on the source material so you've seen more than me, so clue me in.

Stronger's Charge Up form was his normal suit with a different paint color from what I can remember. I see no reason to buy it if you have the normal Stronger figure already unless you have a complete line up with every form.

I only collect the forms and riders that I like. I never bother getting the other forms of Wizard expect for Flame Dragon and Infinity since they are pretty much almost the same form with some minor differences.

But on the flip side, Den-O Rod, Axe, and Gun were all web exclusive. Not to mention Blade King Form.

Deka Pink! I actually got Deka Pink after Yellow but I haven't opened Yellow yet and since Pink was opened, I thought I would shoot her photos first. She is a pretty standard female Sentai Figuart. It's unfortunate that she does not come with a hand to hold the license with though.

I really liked the way the last pose turned out so for now she is staying like that. Haha

My Blue's right shoulder is a little weird, its loose but still holds a pose and his right ankle joint doesn't seem to peg in to his leg fully. Just need Deka Green!!

Isn't Garren Jack Form a web exclusive as well?

Hahn, ok, thought so.

Yeah, I do too. Again, never saw Fourze, but like his forms (he's science) and am getting those. And like most Toku Yanks, love me some Ryuki/Dragon Knight. Now about those Wizard forms....I never got that either. Just go base, alternate, and final forms, unless some form interests you. At least Beasts mantles came in a set.

Think so, Poe.

Just paid just under forty pounds for a sealed SHF Zero, which will probably be closer to fifty once shipping is added. That is more than I have ever paid for any figure in my whole life - and more than I ever PLANNED to pay for a single figure in my life, but the GARO SHFs are basically my grails.

You find the Makai Kadou line, and the SHF Taiga EVERYWHERE. But given that pretty much every GARO toyline is meant to be pure garbage I've refused to go for the cheaper option. And sure the Taiga SHF is different to the Kouga one in eyes and that is it, but I know it isn't the same character in my heart. But other than that the only place I've seen the other Figuarts is for like 90 pound on Amazon UK. FUCK THAT.

So I saw it, I said no to myself then I thought that I may literally never see this figure on here again, and it is one of my grails I just YOLOd that shit. Probably gonna regret this so much down the line, but when I'm looking at my gorgeous Zero on my shelf then haters gon' hate.

That isn't a bad a price considering how nuts the aftermarket can be on Figuarts sometimes. Looking at you 100+ Kamen Rider Gai :lol.

Keep in mind though, forty pounds is almost seventy US dollars. Still not as crazy as a hundred, but not far off either.

I would complain about paying $70+ for a figure, but since Ive paid close to that on Exclusive figures, I cant say much, only time I willingly pay over $80 for these is GokaiYellow or Yellow, and I dont have that much to begin with :lol

Don't even get me started on the $100 + Kamen Rider Knight :lol

Knight has jumped in price?

Anytime I see him on Amazon or Ebay he's always at least $100. The highest I've seen him for is about $350.

Zero is one of the few Figuarts I own that I'd say is worth that price. Garo is kinda meh, but Zero is just pure awesome.

I would never usually pay that price, and I don't plan on paying it again. But it's literally the first time in about a year I've seen one other than Taiga and I...had a moment of weakness.

I guess its a bargain then because I can skip Garo! :lol

Other than some floppiness issues on mine, my main gripe with Garo is that they had him come with the cape (which he uses what? Once? For about 10 seconds) and then had Taiga come exclusively with the Zanbaken sword which Kouga did actually use numerous times.

I'd rather the cape come with Taiga and Garo have the big ass sword :lol

Yeah. Who wants to play with a cape when you play with a sword bigger then the freaking buster blade? :lol

I'm gonna be honest and say I didn't even remember Garo HAVING a cape. I might actually pick Taiga up, he's on Mandrake for quarter of the price as what I paid for Zero and since it is just the eyes...and I get the big ass sword...

I'd say go for it. I saw him too and if I had the money, I'd pick him up as well. Considering the Garo figuarts can get pretty pricey, I'd say pick up one of the Taiga's on Mandarake while it's there for cheap.

Considering you watched it more recently than me, that just proves my point entirely :lol

Man, fuck KR Knight! Bastard is always $135-$150, on average. I want him so bad.... MAN, FUCK KNIGHT!!!

I love you Knight.....:cry

It sucks. Especially since you can easily get Knight Survive for under $30 if you look on Mandarake hard enough (got mine off there for $25 in a box that while listed as damaged was pretty much brand spanking new).

Honestly I'm just going to get Knight's Figma. It's cheaper and personally I think it looks better.

That's Mandarake for 'ya.

The more I hear about how hard figures like Knight and Amazon are to find at reasonable prices, the more thankful I am that I got both before the demand skyrocketed...

lucky for having amazon grrr.

See Poe? This is what I mean. I'm wholly with you man. I'm all in with a Figma Knight until I can bank a SHF Knight. But now that I have Odin & Ryuki, I'm pressured into getting SHF Knight. It just wouldn't look right without all the packed in Monsters with their Riders. Besides, I've heard about QC issues with the Figmas.

So in the end my Zero came to just under fifty pounds, as shipping and handling was just over five pounds. So it's about what I expected.

Finally found a Blue Buster and it was only for 3500 Y.

Victory...
