thanks for the info
I have found one on ebay, but it is kind of pricy wish cdjapan carried this title

I was wondering the same thing after his first full henshin and I think I may have an idea how an AC figure for him might work.

The left side of the cherry will fold across and rotate and peg/rest on the right side giving him the double shoulder piece, and the rest will just work like all the ACs do, front folds down to form the chest piece and the back piece forms the..well the back piece.

And with that said I really do hope they give him an AC toy, I love the design, the character is pretty good. Plus it'd be weird to not have an AC of one of the more prominent characters like Sid/Sigurd

They're probably designed together, with lots of back-and-fourth between toy designers and suit designers. Like Transformers I bet.

Well if I get anything good back after doing my taxes, I think I may just bite the bullet and plunge into Gaim merchandise.

Yeah, I looked for it all over. That ebay listing isn't clear on if it comes with the lock seed or not. I'd only assume it does, because charging that much for just the magazine is absurd.

To what extent? There's many different ways you can do that. And almost all of them cost way more than you expect it to.

DAMN. People missed some good deals on Mandarake this morning. AC Gaim for 2500 yen, Ryugen for 3000, Baron for 4000. Actually a second Ryugen is still up at that price so if anyone needs him, go go go!

If only I had the spare funds :cry That is a damn good deal for Ryugen.

Thanks for the heads up, just put my order in for him :)
Great price on him despite the box being "damaged or opened"

Sometimes the "damaged or opened" doesn't even apply :). When I got my 1500yen Gaim, he was brand new >_<

And yeah! Confirmation date!

And with Mandarake, that means like a little ding or scratch and nothin bad :lol

So it's Shin Melon Arms on 2/8, Jinba Lemon...unsure, and Kurokage 2/22

Not a bad month for AC toys that's for sure

I should call their customer service (if they have one) after I get it and complain how it's not as described, no no it's not broken, it's just not as damaged as you described!

People are saying Jinba might be released March instead of February, but release date hasn't been confirmed yet.

Amazon does list it as March.

No idea of the layout, hopefully there will be 2 Faiz. If not I still appreciate the offer to help.

Got Wave 1 Candy Toy seeds in today and they're really fun. I do wish they made sounds when you opened the lock so I plan on grabbing a DX or 2, and maybe a Sengoku driver.

The guy I usually buy Lock Seeds is selling Faiz-

Thanks, Sid.

Sure it's like $14 per seed, but the price before shipping is pretty close to what my market charges for them.

I threw in a Bouken Red Ranger Key so it came out to around $22 for both. And $14 per seed is still better than CS toys which would be $17 shipped for RSAL.

Yeah, it is better. My market charges 8.99 per seed plus tax, and they're still stuck at Set 2. Only thing I got out of there was Melon, since they had 2 Ichigo and a Budou left. Sold Melon though, gonna try and get a Gashapon one or the Musou saber when the show is over.

Thanks to whoever mentioned YahooJapan Auctions for getting the DX seeds that usually come with the weapons sans weapons.

Just waiting for the middleman to get back to me, I am excite!

Also since shin zangetsu is coming out on the 8th would cstoys get it in this sunday? How's it been with past figure releases?

I'm guessing they'll get some in before then, same with most stores and their stock they get it in early and don't sell it until the release date.

Shin comes out the 8th? Huh, I was out of the loop of the date. Time to try and make some cash fast!

Oooo!! I need Ry... Wait, I got one already :lol But it's coming via SAL :(

Need a hug Tom?

Until it gets here? Yes :(

I'll hug your peach

Hi, kinda a noob here but have been lurking for a while. Thought I'd post and say hi. Got my Gridon today and having fun getting him set up. Now I think I have to get the other lock vehicles, this one is so cool. :-)

Oh man Gridon looks so cool, I can't wait for him to be restocked somewhere so I can nab him.

Though I wish dandeliner was packaged with Kurokage, like it makes sense in the show plus this is the kinda generic hoverbike that would be perrrrfect for troop building. Not to keen on having an army of hoppers haha.

(Also sidenote, look at all the love in this thread, do you guys all ship EMS or something because mannn I've been shipping SAL for sooo long I'm used to the two week wait.)

I go EMS for things I really HAVE to have fast like drivers. ;) I usually do SAL for lock seeds or things I don't need right away.

And yea - I want a Kurokage army...like I think most people do. Hopefully those will not be in such short supply when when drop. :)

I wish you could buy the Landspeeder separately. Don't care for Gridon at all, but man I want that bike.

Whatcha looking to pay for the bike? I have a Gridon set on the way and I wouldn't mind parting with the bike :)

Ooooo! I live in the UK, would you be able to ship over this way? I paid about thirty dollars for the other bike I bought (roughly, using Google for pound to dollar conversion).

I used to do all EMS back when I was a noob collector. Now I've adjusted to SAL so I have more buying power. Only time I do EMS is if the price difference from SAL is not a lot. Or on boxes so large I can only do EMS.
I also use DHL pretty much every time I buy from Mandarake Nakano.

Some drivers are too big for SAL anyway.

The Kurokage troopers are black though. Relative to Hase's brown. So you'd have to army build and custom paint. If the past releases are indicative of quantity, prepare to be disappointed.

I think I might be way too excited, since I will most likely be getting a Sengoku Driver:) Ohhh I can't wait till I have it in my possession.

And so my Mandarake Baron was also cancelled.

I'd care if I didn't just find one on Amazon UK for £25 :D

You found a Baron for £25?! what magical madness is this : o most I could find were stupidly overpriced on amazon (not that I mind now thanks to cstoys) but damnnnn nice find man!

I wonder for the kurokage troopers if they'l release an exclusive three pack or something in the right colours. I wouldn't put it past bandai at this point when they've already made parts of the kid friendly line exclusive.

You have to keep looking daily like you would at Mandarake. Every so often sellers put them up for retail price or only slightly above. I got Zangetsu for £18 there as well, and I've seen both Gaim and Ryugen for £20-25 as well.

Ahh the mandarake method, man i might just do that now, hoping to get a Zangetsu that's not £80-90, scalpers are such a pain in the arse.
