To be honest I don't think we'll see any more Gaim Figuarts at retail. Web exclusives sure, but not retail.
It's going to be difficult since it was a promotional thing. Maybe keep an eye on Mandarake using 魂STAGE to search, I've seen the Ryuki promotional stage on there

Those stands were packed in with various Figuarts releases when the first Wizard Figuarts were released, but they were random pack-ins, no guarantee which you would get.

I have been slowly picking them up on Mandarake, they range from 600y-1200y depending on the store. I don't think I have blade yet, myself.

I usually see them when searching 'shf' or 'figuarts' but I also have a specific search for tamashii stages

Mandarake and Jungle are out at the moment, though they do get them in from time to time. eBay looks to be the only place that has one at the moment, but the price is ridiculous. I've gotten a number of the stages from that promotion, but the Den-O one has eluded me. I'm not desperate enough to pay eBay price for one.

Am I crazy, or does it look like there is a left-hand and a right-hand version of the Wizard stage?

Actually I didn't expect them at all because secondary form SHFs have been flopping HARD.

That's a good point...

Should they happen, yeah, web exclusivity will pretty much be their destination.

Nope those are definitely two different versions of the Wizardriver stand.

Alright, search added to Figinstock. Thanks for the info guys.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled Gaim speculation.

Thanks! I thought I was going a bit 'round the bend. How odd. Now I have to see which one I have to get the other. Darn you Bandai!

So how long will you guys wait for news on Beetleborgs from Bluefin before preordering Blue Beet from the usual (middleman) suspects?

I'm just going to preorder Blue Beet from NY so I know I'll have some version of him. If Bluefin gets the license... Well, I like the design well enough that I don't mind having two. And Gokai Blue did use a Blue Beet key once, so there's that explanation.

Pass.

I personally do agree with people saying that Gaim Ichigo and Ryugen Kiwi will be the other two pack, though.

I'm starting to think Bluefin will likely not release them due to low demand. I might pre-order them on CSToys on the last minute since it takes me a while to save up money on a $30 pay for local dog walking.

On Bluefin's page, you have people just asking for S.H MonsterArts for Bagan, Super Godzilla and Titanosaurus. It seems like not many people want Beetleborg figuarts. Better pre-order them now before they go sky high on the after market.

It's kind of sad that I have been suddenly taking a look at the new red ranger PRSMF toys that are coming out as they look mighty tempting now that I know Figuarts are pretty much not going to happen to them. I was originally just going to get Ninja Red, but now I think I might also pick up AbaRed, Red Racer, TimeRed, GoRed, and GekiRed if I ever actually see them in stores. This way, I can at least have all of the red rangers to my favorite Sentai series even if some of them are going to be smaller with inferior articulation.

If anything, BoA should have capitalized on the Power Rangers Figuarts popularity by making the Legacy and SMF figures more like the Super Legends figures. Just give better paint jobs, a bit more accuracy in scale and so on to make them look like they could co-exist with the Figuarts stuff.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

These don't look half bad next to each other. Touch up White Ranger's details a bit and it could be a suitable replacement for the Figuart.

For the record, checklist was updated with the newest reveals.

I actually thought they both were figuarts at first.

Yes!

See, with some paintwork on the weapons (and Lord Zedd's back)and a bit more articulation, the Super Legends are almost Figuarts themselves practically.

Yummy!

Except White's holster is wrong.
That backdrop....seen it before.....is that HDToyTheater?
Edit: seen the description in the link, yeah, it's you. Love your work.

Me too. Had to look twice. :p

Smartass. :p

Saved, but you're missing Black Beet.

*sigh*

I don't make these.

And as I've also explained before... If they don't have official solicitations (for both a high quality picture and an exact spot to slot them in), they don't get added yet.

Oh, sorry. I thought he'd received a solicitation alongside Blue Beet.

Nope... Which is weird, yeah. I was about to say that it might be because he was for the new year, but I checked the website and they have a bunch for January already, including Blue Beat. (Which actually kinda confuses me because I thought the two Sailor Scouts and Sasuke were for December... Oh well.)

Well my Ryugen is paid for and on it's way from Amiami :D

I'll be waiting for Hibiki & Garren to come in before mine ships...so the end of the month.

(Sad face.)

Oh well, belated birthday presents to myself!

I have to wait for Figma Archer before I can ship Ryugen, since I have them combined by month.
But I did just email AmiAmi to see if they would split them up and ship me Ryugen now. I need moar Fruity Figuarts, now!

Who got a payment/shipping-notice for Ryugen from HLJ?

I did.

Me too! Can't wait to have my Mitsuzane shoot everybody in the back!

I chose to combine Ryugen with Hibiki and Patrol Lamp & Camera, so it'll be a little while before I'm billed yet, which I'm not complaining about in the slightest,

Well I was never able to get an actual Hibiki pre-order in :( Otherwise I'd be waiting like everyone else. Looks like Hibiki is gona be an in stock purchase for me. Either way Ryugen should be here Tuesday-ish.

Preorderd are still open on Amazon if you luck out once he's in stock overseas.

Nah. I'd prefer to nab him via Amiami or Mandarake. Either is just as easy as Amazon.

I ended up getting mine through CD Japan because, at the time, it seemed everyone else had sold out.

AmiAmi is cool and split up my order, yay! Grape Rider for me next week!

Wow, didn't know anyone was interested/getting the Lampman & Patrol Man. Congrats.

Shipping notification for the grape man! Too bad I won't be in town when he arrives and I'll have to put up with 2 weeks of taunting :lol

Almost HLJ'ed... got the payment request for Ryugen today after sending in a ticket yesterday asking for it. I should really try to use another retailer for this, sooner or later it will hit me, but everywhere else stuff is always sold out the minute it goes online :(

Maybe I should shift my attention more to middlemen or try to hunt them done once they are released and not to expensive. I will have to do it with Melon Energy so I guess I see how it turns out.

Other than that, finally bought myself a cabinet, the Figuarts do look nice behind glass and with proper lighting.

What's wrong with Amazon? Amazon can have some great deals on items. Some third party sellers use Amazon Prime, so you can have items come in very quick.
