More lock seeds! That I don't have :/

Gaim is just killing us with these prices.

Yerrr, this is why I'm sticking to figuarts and lockseeds/belts. It's just easier to keep track of and they don't shoot up in price as much (Though I am a bit worried about the figuarts since I wasn't able to get a preorder in before :S)

Ah, but this is the first time the gimmick line has been in such high-demand! What if the Figuarts are similarly popular? :D

Well I bit the bullet and just got Gridon off Amazon JP. It was only like 1700 more yen than my preorder had been so it wasn't too bad.

I was able to get all 4 AC Riders without paying the inflated prices so I am happy for that. No way would I pay more than the retail for those figures. As for Figuarts I will still get some of them, probably the 4 original Riders again. Too bad I couldn't get the preorder bonuses.

Me too, sucks ass that I lost Ryugen's weapon, I don't really wanna buy him again for inflated prices.

So there were 2 Gridon sets on Manda at 10 this morning. I ordered both of them and hopefully they were in stock. I already got one for me off Amazon JP, but should these actually wind up as in stock I'll be able to help a couple people get him.

I really wish I jumped on these around Christmas when they were still fairly cheap...

I think the one I paid for the most was Baron, but that's cause I paid for him on Amazon. Gaim I got on Mandarake for 1500 before shipping, and Ryugen and Zangetsu pretty much cost $20 each. I'm glad I got them quick >_<

How much were they?

good god im glad im selling up and getting out of the line, this is getting insane.

I bet the figuarts are going to end up being far easier and cheaper to pick up.

3500 yen each. I ordered both, fingers crossed.

anybody looking for Pine/Ichigo arms, theres one here

UK buyers, theres a lot of stuff ending at around midnight on ebay, offers welcome

If you do get them, shoot me a price and depending on it, I'd probably buy one off of you.

Hope you can bud, I'm waiting on uchihabro77 to get his in since he's selling it to me.

Yeah these are strictly for resale at whatever I pay with shipping. Not in any way looking to charge people for a profit. If they wind up in stock, whatever I pay for them, is what someone can have them for plus shipping.

You're a good man, Jordan :)

I'm the dude who bought the two pack of the bikes.

Aaaaaand there goes your Ryugen!

A very good man.

cheers chaps, will get them out to you in the next 2 days

Thank you!

I'm gonna be away until Saturday any way.

So I was messing around with my DX lock seeds, and tried holding down both the button for the sengoku driver and the musou saber. This results in a long delay (longer than it takes for the driver to say "Soiya" or "Come On", etc.), after which Orange says something (Machoi?) before the standard "Orange Arms". Doing this with Banana replaces the unknown sound with "Okay!" before announcing the arms.

???

This is... interesting.

Sorry if my explanation is odd, if you have any DX lock seeds just hold down both buttons and press the grey button. I don't have any idea what this could be, except maybe a power up/final form.

Is it possibly for use in the Genesis Driver attachment for the Sengoku Driver so the sounds don't overlap?

I think that's exactly what it's for.

Probably not the best strategic idea here but Cstoys just updated their "arrival" video on youtube about items coming in for their Sunday activation and...well it might be worth watching:

-AC Pine Arms and Ichigo Arms x4
-AC Mango Arms and Kiwi Arms x2
-AC Rider Baron w/ Banana Arms x 6
-AC Rider Gaim w/ Orange Arms x4
-AC Rider Ryugen w/ Grape Arms x3
-AC DX Suika Arms x3
-Case of Genesis Drivers
-Case of Sengoku drivers

Much better than last week and the two Gridon's they had available. Definitely going to try getting at least one AC figure through them, hopefully I manage to have a bit of luck ^^"

You explanation was crystal clear, my puzzlement is over this mechanic's mere existence.

Yeah, I'm setting my alarm. Finally pine/Ichigo and kiwi/mango will be mine.

Sad part is I have to work AT 5am (which is activation time for CStoys) on Sunday. I think I may need to ask the boss if I can come in 15-20 minutes later ^^"

But this is actually a really good sign though, the supply of these items is slowly making a resurgence, and in pretty decent numbers as well. And if CStoys got that many imagine what bigger name retailers like amiami or even HLJ might be getting in soon.

And more than likely a stupid question but, with CStoys will their restocked items still appear in "New arrivals" during activation or just be adding quantities to the old listings? Just want to be sure if I'm going to try and get one of the AC guys.

The only thing I can think of is that another lock seed's sound plays during the delay. I tried it with Orange and Banana, and Banana starts "Okay" right when "On stage" finishes. The delay before "Banana Squash" isn't enough time for the Orange Squash sound to finish, so it's something else. Could someone with an Energy Lock Seed try it? I don't think the energy seeds have attack sounds like the regular lock seed, do they?

Has anyone heard anything on anikis orange arms helmet? Apart from the few "in progress" pics he has on Facebook.

Ooh, gonna have to try and snag me one of those Barons.

Anyone have advice for someone who's never used CSToys before? Do I just show up in time for this "activation" and order as I would any other thing or is there more I need to know?

Nope thats pretty much all you have to do :)

Wonderful, thanks!

I guess I'll try for an Ichigo/Pine so I can be all caught up.

Just show up at activation and get the pages up and ready! :lol Oh and sign in first!

Or, in my case, make an account first :lol

Still new to CStoys as well and to sort of do a follow up question on what he asked, I just signed up and registered an account and it says I can lock in my orders and then pay for them later.

So does that work like a pile of loot system where after I lock in one order I can add onto it? And if I don't pay immediately could that item be sold to someone else who pays immediately?
