Seriously, these exclusive products are the worst. Reasons aside, it doesn't benefit the consumers/fans in any way. But it won't stop because Bandai seems to be at a state of existence where negative press doesn't phase them anymore thanks to all the cash cows they have. Meanwhile, they have all the funds in the world to start a new toy lineup that has you make clay dookie you can attach limbs, a face, and accessories to and call it a day.

Bandai is gonna make this hard for EVERYONE

Yeah, with the state of things I'm dreading how the inevitable Shinkocchou Seihou Knight release is gonna go. I'm hoping they don't make him P-Bandai, but it seems like nowadays the only general releases we get anymore are the main Rider and maybe an upgrade form or two - even though Knight is just as much a main character as Ryuki is.

If Toei really is trying expand Rider's popularity internationally, they have to make the actual merch easier to get.

Alas, Bandai and Toei have never seen a crowd of people running at them with their wallets out and open begging to have their money taken that they weren't eager to put up a trap-filled labyrinth, a moat, a minefield, and a stereo system blasting the greatest hits of Dane Cook in the way of.

Gee this sure would have paired well with Sakurajima that totally had a wide release ...

It almost feels like Tamashii Nations has CONTEMPT for us fans

I direct you to my previous comment.

Hey folks, been lurking for a while, but I just wanted to say that I logged into my Tamashii nation account and it said they had Kaixa available so I wanted to let you guys know.

(Edit) Never mind.

In Asia, we have to order with Shopee, and the moment the stock arrive, gone, disappeared, reduced to 0 within 1 second. There were two batches and it's the same result.\

If Datong KO what ever have P bandai taq slapped on it, I'd happily buy from Datong, because the whole things about stock distribution is crap on another level. You're telling me I'm paying big buck, have to stalk your products, and still not guaranteed? Dafuq is that.
