From what I understand as someone who frequents BBTS, anything considered retail is a normal price. Anything exclusive is a buy anywhere else unless it's completely sold-out.

Faiz and Mebius are listed on Hobby-Genki, but show as out of stock. I guess this is one of those situations where they will go up for order maybe an hour from now?

Also Samurai Sword Devil from Chainsaw Man is listed too, haha.

Faiz and Mebius now up on HLJ

Got my order with hobby genki but it was sold out in a couple of minutes

No Faiz for me I guess.

I should really quit Seihou altogether, this is ridicolous. AmiAmi won't sell it, Anime-Export isn't getting it, everyone else is sold out because I can't juggle 5 different websites while I'm at work.

Oh well, I save money I guess. Excited for Mebius though, he looks great!

I understand as this is the 1st time I order a general release successfully. I really hate the way to order a general release.

Darn... preorders opened when I was in class...

Missed out on Faiz, but I got Mebius who I wanted more anyway. So that's cool.

I got lucky and got an order in for Faiz on Hobby Genki. What I did was click on the email notification instead of refreshing the page

Real shame Anime-Export didn’t carry it, but I noticed since Shin KR they don’t always have listings for every new release. amiami is pretty much just a place to pick up preowned and Mafex at this point for me

Saving grace, I guess, is Tamashii listed Faiz as a US release; but I’ve never had a great way of tracking when the US orders open up

If you have instagram, following the P-Bandai US page is a pretty good way to know when stuff goes up, as they're usually pretty good at announcing new goods.
