The best reason I could think of for keeping the brown shipper box is that it is a bit sturdier than the regular packaging. If you wanted to stack a bunch of boxes really high up, then the brown shipper box would be more structurally sound.

I don’t keep them, but I don’t judge anyone who does. Everyone has their process when collecting.

Hopefully will get 2 to go up for preorder.

Also why have Bandai not put Gaim pine and strawberry arms up yet? It was shown off in march and now it June and nothing?

I also used to keep all the brown shippers but since reorganizing and finally realizing storage space isn't infinite, I now throw the majority of them away since they usually add extra dimensions that can make them annoying to store next to regular boxes.

Only really keep the ones that go with releases that can fetch legit aftermarket money if I ever decide to purge them, like the Dragonball stuff.

I recently started collecting Dragonball SHF. I know it is very popular worldwide but the demand is insane. Technically the value of every P-banai exclusive release increases, if not skyrockets, once the stock are all gone. So basically you can purchase, enjoy and then get 100%+ money back without any problem. Sentai/Kamen Rider SHF is a totally different story.

Pretty much.

Toku-related SHFs can vary. Stuff like SHF Ultraman Titas, SKC Hyper Kabuto, SKC Eternal, etc. are some examples of releases that didn't just keep their value but doubled it in most cases and kept it there. Meanwhile releases that were extremely pricy on the aftermarket before, like Horobi or Valkyrie, are now down to retail or even below today.

Compared to Dragonball where I know I can sell my Cooler for double-plus the price without a second thought cause the market on that end is insane.

The Ultraman Titas SHF hurts me so much. I skipped over him in favor for 01 Shining Assault Hopper, and while I don't regret getting it, I regret not getting Titas more. Especially since SA Hopper is generally much easier to get.

Kind of strange it took so long.............

The bike from The Next is coming out in January 2025

SKC is not a thing in English. SS is the abbreviation in English

We're not getting into this a third time in this thread, let's just keep it on-topic to the figures themselves, please.
