Hmm. I'm not sure. I'd assume you have to give it to the person who originally bought the item.

I believe Amazon extends their returns to 60 days for Christmas. I buy a lot of Tamashii Nations releases from Amazon. Sometimes I have to make exchanges because their packaging damaged the figures box or the QC isn't quite their but that's because I'm able to with Amazon. It's a great store to use. In fact, with price drops I usually get things for $2-$8 under retail by using Amazon.

Worst case scenario, buy one yourself and then ship back the defective one under the new receipt after it arrives.

Scored a Baron Lemon Energy on Mandarake! Also got some other stuff


$150 shipped from Nakano for Lemon, Robot Damashii animation edition, and the 00 raiser

thanks for all the info. I was just being a bit obsessive compulsive with this to make sure it would be decent go to place for this kind of purchase. I let my dad know about hibiki, along with ultraman and the brothers mantle cape. if I get them for Christmas its cool, and if not, that's also cool. I just needed to know and have my bases covered if I get them as holiday gifts and something is off.

It's understandable man. I don't buy from a site I've never used before unless I get some solid information on them.

I'm the same. Unless I'm hard up to get something now, and don't mind the markup from Image Anime, I order mainly from Amazon. I haven't got up to using the import stores yet. But Amazon has been good enough for me, no problems so far. Only goof I got was a damaged box for Kyoryu Red.

Doing your research and being a savvy consumer is what its all about. You yield the best results with fewer setbacks.

And as Winston said earlier, if you're ordering from a third party seller from Japan, it usually takes longer for delivery. But that's why I check for other sellers. Amazons made it easy for you to check for Primed versions of your items, so you might get lucky and find the figure you want Primed from another seller/Amazon than the featured seller when doing an initial search.

Woohoo! I got my order confirmation for Lemon Energy Baron!

Congratulations!

I got a Lemon Energy Baron as well, but used a middleman and yahoo japan, might be a bit more expensive than ones you've guys picked up at Mandarake but mann honestly can't be playing the waiting game when I'm away from my pc most of the day D;

To add to the point about price drops, you should definitely watch for this as it gets closer to Christmas. Last year around that time there were some significant discounts for Figuarts, I got Ryuki, Zolda and Odin all for around $30 each.

Heads up! Baron Lemon is back in stock at Nippon-Yasan! I just split an order with a friend.

Baron Lemon Energy

Saw that, want it, can't afford it.

Sweet! Thanks!

Oh! The Magma effect piece is in stock there as well! (Pricey, though.)

I have no idea if I will get them, I just needed to know if he did, my dad would be buying from a reliable source for Christmas if he did, and if I do get them, I have a return option if something is wrong. now on to figuarts. since they seem so gung ho on kikaider figuarts, think we will get the alt color hakaiders from kikaider 01?

Yeah, I want it, but that's WAAAAAAAY too much.

Was seriously worried I'd be missing out since I can't afford it, but the girlfriend told me to buy it and I can have it for Christmas :D

Awh man that's cheaper than what I got it for haha, oh well least it's avaluable for folk!

Yeah, their post-release stuff sometimes gets insane. Anyone know what the original price of that Magma piece was? I'm way glad to see Baron back in, but I'm sweating bullets because I'm waiting on a Mandarake confirmation on one and I can't afford to buy two right now. Order or wait until I hear back... It's a tough decision.

Price was the same as the other impact effects. Around 2000 yen. It's just that this one is exclusive.

If you did order and wound up having two, I don't think you'd have much trouble reselling the second.

Cripes! That's a huge price increase. I paid $50 for one. I should have waited for Mandarake.

True, but laying out for two would be brutal on my finances for this pay period.

Yikes, I got a magma effect from Mandarake for only 3000 yen.

Nice price! I was wondering what Mandarake would start off with on those. On one hand, I'm a little sick at paying $20 more than yours at Toku Taku, but on the other hand now I don't have to keep on my toes to pounce when one pops up. Oh well, at least I got my Baron Lemon cheap. :shrug

Woah $50 for the magma effect?? I didn't jump on that because it would be much cheaper to just paint a normal set myself, which I never did, but it didn't seem like something that was a must get. Unless it had like some translucent awesome bits.

But I guess as a result I just jumped on whatever available baron I found, which is sad if I just waited a day extra I could have gotten him cheaper haha. Not particularly bothered though, just glad to get my hands on one.

NYCC 2014 interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uck...utu.be&t=8m19s

In the video, Bluefin mention that they are taking a break from Power Rangers from now.

Yeah, this has been known for a while. Disappointing but understandable- there aren't any post-Zyuranger teams out in SHF format that can be readily brought over here, and on top of that, interest on non-MMPR teams is dubious at best.

This isn't even remotely new information. We had our people on the ground relaying this information in real time at the show.

Is there a reason you didn't just order it from Amazon?

Order what from Amazon? Bluefin isn't getting any of the Tamashii Nations show exclusives, as far as I know.

Jeez, guys. A bit mean there.

The information isn't necessarily new, but this is the first time an actual video has been posted, which nullifies any potential misinformation from word of mouth in between it actually being stated at the convention and being posted online. Its definitely worth posting.

I was wondering anyone know how good the Sharivan figuart is?

Exactly that.

It's cast in clear orange plastic and the black bits are painted. At least that's what it looks like. Not super clear. But a degree of translucence.

Grab an LED base and you could get a super cool glow effect.

Sorry, I didn't realize there was a specialized exclusive version of the impact crater.

Are the Advent Deck holders supposed to be removable on the Ryuki Figuarts? I could've sworn I'd seen some detached but the one on Knight Survive seems to be part of the belt.

The decks themselves are all removable. Not the holders.

I was a bit unclear as to the difference, sorry.

Either way KS's won't budge. Is that something unique to the Survives or is mine just a dud in that regard?

Maybe it's just in a bit too tightly. Just keep messing with it. If it won't come out then I'd just stop trying just in case you break it. Heck maybe somebody glued it in.

I grabbed one off Mandarake- for once I'm glad I waited. I wanted to get it from Toku Taku back when I ordered Lemon Baron but held off. I probably don't understand the market well enough, but it seems so cool why make it so exclusive is beyond me. Just like Baron. I'm going to get some of those paper thin sticky LED strips and try with the magma impact effect.

I also scored all the exclusive Kyoryuger figures off Jungle, though they are "B" grade. I've heard mixed things, but I'm hopeful. Gotta love this exchange rate.

Entirely likely, as I bought him second-hand off of Amiami.

Ah well, not a huge deal, Just wanted to use it for a few shots anyway.
