Ill buy that faceplate ;)

Does hobby searcg still have Pine and Ichi instock?

Sadly they do not. I did order mine on the day of release, but I chose the cheapest shipping option to the UK and that is why it has taken a few weeks to get to me.

Anybody know the release dates for the next sets? Im holding off on Watermelon arms and ive given up tracking down ichigo/pine arms

Amazon Japan says next Saturday 12/7 for Mango/Kiwi. I generally check the Amazon a Japan site for release dates and they seem to always be right.

Just preordered Mango/Kiwi off of Hobbysearch. Although I wont be buying Ryugen, so I guess Gaim can get Kiwi as Baron will be getting Mango.

Awww they are marked as reservation closed now.
Does anyone know what the shipping to UK is like this close to the holidays from Japan?

Personally from my experience Japan operate on a when they feel like it policy. I always use SAL, but I've had some parcels within the week which makes them faster than the UK Amazon while others have taken almost two months. It's a gamble with no real statistics to work from.

Speaking of shipping, I went to grab myself a DX AC Watermelon, only to find out that the postage will double the price of the item. And I'm sorry but I don't care if it's big, or the same price as UK Megazords or whatever else, paying over fifty pounds for a single toy is utterly ludicrous. It's a bit of moulded plastic for Christ's sake.

I always choose Sal, but I thought with the holidays coming within a less than a month now there may be delays. If so would I be better choosing ems?

I never pick SAL because it's just not cheap enough to Canada, or at least where I am. (probably doesn't help I'm not in a big city?) Plus I usually wait so long before I buy stuff already, I hate waiting.

Got AC03 and AC04 today. This is like, the best Rider gimmick figure line I've ever seen. Haven't felt this compelled to chase one like this since the OOOs Combo Change dudes. It really helps that the base bodies are so nicely done, very subtly-expressive extra degrees of range on the hip and ankle ballsocket joints that allows for nice sweepy hero stances. So pumped for the paradigm shift once I've gotten Zangetsu and Mango/Kiwi. 4 bodies + 8 fruit hats + more on the way, feels like they'll be living on my desk for months.
