100%, desperately hoping it'll be one of the rare Seihou's to get a more accessible re-release at some point. Making one of the most important suits in the series near impossible to get without attending a specific event was just cruel

Seen it pop up every couple days on Mandarake for around 20000 Yen if you want it at that price

I too really hope they do rerelease of the recent original Ichigo and the part that hurts the most about it being an exclusive release is the fact they actually redesigned him so he's currently one of a kind and not like any of the prior Seihou versions.

Why go through the effort of that to only make it a limited release?

I mean the retail release of the 50th anniversary Ichigo sold out instantly as well and never restocked so imagine them making the new version retail.

Maybe us American fans can let Team Rider know and hopefully they can communicate it

Seeing Shin next to the classic one makes me happy though, looks good.

I think I will pass on Shin Rider 2, I feel like having Rider 1 is enough for me.

Hope they make more though, I really want the bike and some enemies from the movie.

Man. Shipping kills any savings that could be had by buying from Premium Bandai US. I have to pay more for the figure than some middleman sites (everybody keep quiet: some of them don’t charge me the tax for my state), and if I’m paying $20 shipping for two figures, I might as well be importing them… except if I imported them, I would get them faster, lol.

This is gonna make me sound like a heretic, but the best premium bandai US release was that Mastermind Rider 1, because that guy was actually hard to get from middleman sites and importing.

Also premium bandai US uses Fedex, and I have MASSIVE beef with them right now. They straight up delivered a signature required package to the wrong address and did not even bother getting the signature. They took no responsibility when I reported it too. I, uh, hold them in low regard.

I feel you on this. They don?t care about people package I had one of mine damaged by them and there rude and overpriced will never used them for anything it not worth the stress.

And if I were you I do something about getting my money back from fedex because you never got what you paid for don?t let them do that to you.

Oh I should say it was a signature required package being delivered to me. It was an “Adult Signature Required” package too. Like, you have to show an ID when you sign for it.

And they just did not deliver it to me. I don’t know who they delivered to, but it was not me. It was signed with the initials “DDR” - Delivery Driver? I’m working with the company that I bought from to get a replacement, but Fedex is trash garbage!

And don’t bother shelling out the extra bucks for signature requirement! It is meaningless!

I believe Fedex is just a collection of call center employees and delivery drivers that somehow has developed a hive-mind like consciousness, because whenever I asked to speak with a manager, they said there was no manager! Nobody is running Fedex! It runs itself and must be stopped!

Sorry shipping two relatively small light boxes in-country costs HOW much????

It’s $10 to ship one figure. The two figures (Nigou, and Boost Magnum) come out on different months and cannot be combined into one shipment, so $20 total for shipping. If I could combine both into one shipment I would not be comlplaining as much.

I swear I shipped two figures from Japan to America for $25 recently, lol.

Even with 4000 yen shipping, the price on HobbyGenki is roughly the price of both figures on PB US before shipping, so you save $20. If you have other figures with them, you will save more.

Part of me wants to support PB US but with everything getting more and more expensive, every dollar counts.
