The difference is that DBZ is an incredibly profitable worldwide market. Kamen Rider is not anywhere near on that same level.

As well, just because there are ways for these things to happen, does not mean those things happen immediately. The essential point is that there's still alot of discussions to be had and business decisions to be made.

I'm not saying no one is allow to criticize Bandai. What I AM saying is be patient, because frankly, there's alot of things that companies, and especially representatives of companies, aren't allowed to disclose to the public, whether we like it or not.

If someone wants to be mad, fine. That's their prerogative. However, I am also allowed to disagree with the reasoning behind it, and also offer insight into why these things take time, no matter how small or easy to handle they might seem to others.

If these are made to order and are just additional stock made on top of the stock sold locally via pb h.k, what is honestly the downside of making these available for sale on pb u.s when all of that is there?

You have the right to disagree, but a lot of those questions dont apply to pb, I'll give it to you that he shouldnt get mad so quick, as i mentioned prior, since that shfs sale was only a month ago like you said. But that doesnt change that its 1. Really easy to do, even from a sales perspective and 2. they still deserve ciriticsm for how at times theyve been essentially forcing the fandom to buy their releases in the hopes of pb. I get it like hype wise and to generate interest they can show to japan, but it still feels shitty. Especially when h.k is getting Evil and they could just open up orders on our end to produce some more figures.

Regardless on if we, the consumers, can't see any obvious downsides, it's still a discussion the bigwigs of the company have to have, and then decide on if it's worth it or not. Everything requires approval first and foremost. Heck, one downside could be that the cost of production and shipping could be seen as not being worth it for how many sales they get. Keep in mind though, I do not work for Bandai; I don't know the exact specific details they would discuss. I just know that it's something that companies tend to take their time on. "Easy to do" does not always equal "easy way of making a profit."

Also, no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. Many complained they didn't like how the Black Ichigo figure was used as the measuring stick. Heck, I didn't like the choice, personally. As such, I didn't buy it. Simple as. Does it suck that it wasn't what many people wanted? Absolutely. But it's just what we currently have to go on, and we have to wait and see if Bandai/Toei decides it's worth it or not.

Amiami has SS Ultraman back up again

I'd appreciate it if both of you would not mischaracterize me as "mad." I also don't appreciate being lectured to by people as clueless and uninvolved with Bandai and its subsidiaries inner politics and practices.

1. I didn't lecture you, even said you had a right to be pissed at Bluefin, but isolate that one section where i was trying to be diplomatic.

2. And you know much about Bandai's inner workings and politics?

Ive been to almost all of bluefins trade events and was at the launch of pb u.s. i think i know what im talking about lol. But go on call me "clueless" . What i detailed up there is exactly how pb u.s works, and their operating practices for the site in terms of sales. As for why they dont do it when they so easily can given everything. I couldnt tell you, i dont work for them. But neither does anyone defending them for not bringing anything over yet. I believe you have full right to be pissed, especially as a consumer, and to voice your frustrations without someone coming in to invalidate your frustrations. Ive been pissed off myself, i really wanted to be able to get p-bandai shf just as bad as anyone, and am left wondering why it hasn't happened yet.

Its funny that the same ppl that say ppl can be critical of something are the ones being critical of ppl who are critical of said thing. So essentially policing your opinion. What irony.

Seihou Decade is delayed to May.

Hacchaka now has the duo reviewed and posted on his website. And I'm needlessly refreshing my emails to see if amiami has the invoice for them. :lol

Anyway, Revi looks great! A step up from last year's Saber, as expected since he has no weapon and is a simpler design. The pink is suit accurate from what I'm seeing, but I can't help but prefer the silver-y shiny pink he had in the other prototypes. His head's a little big to my taste but it's ok.

Vice to me is a bit of a mess. Most only on his head. His face is narrower, the are drooping down, and the rex eyes are clear purple instead of metallic paint. There are things like how the shoulder armor moves breaks up his shoulders, but I can fix that.

Still pretty good for both of them tho.

Also the white hair parts of Vice's head are flat, not raised.

My HLJ Revi and Vice entered my Private Warehouse earlier today, I just hit ship. They're not perfect, but I'm still excited for them
