REALLY excited for Jeanne myself -- which I'm sure was very hard to tell :p Hope she releases early enough into the month; she's one of my most anticipated releases of the year and I can hardly wait

V3 back up on Hobby Genki

https://hobby-genki.com/en/kamen-rid...-rider-v3.html

Lol at preorders. I gave up mostly because of AmiAmi and others getting botted and all the stuff gone to scalpers. I just buy them at a lower cost than retail later

Gotta say. I wouldn't pick Demons to be the best Revice figure that I have, that goes to Evil. The form change gimmick, having a weapon and being 500 yen less than Demons makes him better in that regard. Also, he's not pointy allo ver the place.

But, Demons is the best Revice figure in my heart. The detail is amazing, and he just looks gorgeous.

That ends the Revice line for me here. Was initially tempted to get Destream too, but he doesn't or doesn't seem to be appearing much to warrant a purchase form me. Gonna cut down on Geats, too.

V3 sold out in under 5 hours AGAIN today! Hobby-Genki still has pre-orders up though, I guess they got in a fair bit of stock

I gave up on preorders too…I actually gave up with that line.

NOW LETS NOT GET CRAZY HERE 😂😂😂
Easily found almost every Rider Figuarts for less than retail/preorder price.
After 6 years of obsession, now at 562 Rider Figuarts.
And often before the preorder figures get to those who bought them from everyone EXCEPT the HK seller
But I TOTALLY get why you stopped, completely frustrating

I definitely get giving up haha. I almost did it multiple times but then
A) a desire to get all main riders between FRS and SHF
B) Revice coming out of nowhere with some of my most beloved Riders in the franchise
C) SENTAI FIGUARTS COMING BACK

Seriously got in the way! Thankfully the 'cheap main rider' thing for concurrent series means that's easy enough to go along with, and aside from that the pool of SHF Riders I want is relatively small. Excusing a Seihou Wishlist that is never going to have anything from it happen

I will probably never quit, there's so much cool stuff and the figures are only getting better and better each year, but my excitement definitely got a damper after retail releases started to sell out so fast. I can't help but feel dread whenever they announce one I really want, I can only start to get excited for them after I actually managed to order them.

It’s crazy because other lines are so easy to buy, but Figuarts have become very stressful to pre-order.

They actually seem to have gotten a bit better on that front; Revi and Vice are still in stock and I remember Saber being there for ages. It's mostly Seihous that you get screwed over on
