I remember that now :o

Any MMPR Red Ranger?

Weirdly that same B&N had a few Michael Jackson figuarts...

They had the Armored version, but that was... Gosh, early November?

I'm almost tempted to pick one of those up. They had Tamashii stands a couple of weeks ago.

Sounds great having actual stores nearby who sell stuff like this.

Sigh...

Sorry if this was posted and I missed it, but riderman is getting a new head ? http://www.taghobby.com/wp-content/u...4/12/c0065.jpg

Only with the bike 2-pack if I recall correctly. Expect incentives like these for all the web exclusive 2-packs.

In that picture Riderman somehow looks like hes afraid of something :lol

"WHO IS THIS GIANT PERSON AND WHY ARE THEY TAKING PICTURES OF ME?!" :lolol

I love the two-packs. I have no Showa Riders and getting them with their bikes is way sweet. Speaking of, the Amazon and Jungler pack is due out this month, isn't it?

he saw what his movie reboot version would be.

I literally bought ALL the tamashii stages our B&N had :lol I bought 5 packs a few weeks ago, then went back last weekend and got the remainder.
Yup. The Amazon/Jungler pack just comes with a recolored effect part though. It's in bright red instead of milky white.
See I already have all the Showa Riders minus the second release of Skyrider. For me the single pack releases are the way to go. But then they include these bonuses that make my single releases feel incomplete.

Bnadai just re-release Black renewal with Battle Hopper and make me happy :lol

I can understand it's got to be frustrating, especially as we both seem to suffer from the completionist bug. In some ways, they seem to love to put the screws to their customers.

That reminds me, I still need a Black to park on my Road Sector. I think he and Ichigo the First version are the only bikes I have without the matching Riders.

(I will refrain from making a joke about Tackle.) :D

I hope they will do a tack pack with ZX and Helldriver (unless they haven't done it already). I would buy a ZX two pack if they can fix the bad QC issues that the original release had.

yo did Taki ever get a figuart?

knowing the Ishinomori Foundation's opinion about Spirits, probably not. :(
^I appear to be mistaken about the Ishinomori Foundation. I am sorry.

Yeah a two-pack would come in handy if they fix ZX.

Speaking of two-packs, I selfishly wouldn't mind X being the next Showa Rider bike/re-release two-pack to show up, since I've been tempted to pick up X when I've seen him available for a decent price on AmiAmi/Mandarake.

I'd totally be down for that.

I guess Skyrider getting a bike two pack would be possible as well. I see him up go up in prices. I miss out on him when he came out a while back. I almost bought him in 2012 when I visit Image Anime in NYC but I end up getting Stronger instead.

Of all this Rider talk, all I'm missing right now is a re-rerelease of Knight & Darkwing. Though I'll likely be paying the absurd online prices to get one soon, adding Femme to that, it'd be cool if they did a rerelease to take the sting out of adding him to your collection, especially for those that missed out on him. And they know people want him due to Femme's recent release.

Speaking of which ... We haven't gotten an SHF contract monster in a while bit we've seen prototypes of more than we've gotten

That's just Figuarts in General.

Yo! Where's Rio and Mele Bandai?

Or Shenron.

Or...

I was alright with Survive up until I got Femme. Then I spent months tracking an affordable regular version. So, I know how you feel.

Oh mannnn whaaat the riderman shouty face is exclusive to the two pack? I already got the bike preordered and I don't want two ridermen.

Ahh well that sucks, really not liking how bandai handle the cool bonuses. Like the battle damage blade, that could have easily been a small bonus with another figure.

Man, I had my days totally mixed up and I was planning on staking out retailers for pre-orders tonight. My brain is not working too well this weekend.

My SHF Duke is still at "Dispatch from outward office of exchange" in Japan. I order with Eco - SAL Registered since it's cheaper and people recommended me using it. I hope my order does not get lost somehow in the Japanese post office.

That's pretty standard in my experience. Mostly that's where the biggest stretch of time passes, in between Japan and the ISC.

The underside of the right cape on my Duke feels really rough and had a bit of a line of silver paint on it that sticks out in the right light... But it's mostly the roughness that really stands out.

But that's really very minor, so I'm otherwise happy to report he's fantastic. So glad I didn't pass on him and I really, really hope Sigurd and Marika see a release some time this year to go with him.

The blue is so pretty and man, those bubbly eyes... Love 'em.

Same here. Was ok with Knight Survive, but when I got Ryuki/Dragon Knight, it just warranted base form Knight. It was the same with Armed Tyrannoranger/Armored Red, but sensibly I got main form first. It just doesn't work without base forms of these characters.

If you're desperate...and crazy, then check Amazon. They have him now for $125 Primed. That looks to be my only shot...baring in mind the offer holds until I get the money up.

You can always try your hand at Jungle or Mandarake, but other than that, Amazon is your best bet. Plus you could always return/exchange in case you get a lemon.

With the exchange rate what it is now, you could get one off of Mandarake w/SAL shipping and it'll clock in at least $20ish cheaper than that $125 one on Amazon.

This. All kinds of this.

No, it won't. This is very standard. It'll be at this status for 3-7 days usually. And then it'll hit US customs. Which could clear quickly or take another several days.

My Duke's at the same stage, although I ordered the usual speed so it should've been here by now. But, holidays. I hope the nature is more that the tracking site hasn’t updated yet since no one worked on it for the last week than that it's still in Japan, waiting for the plane to take off.

YO! Mashin Chase pre-orders....? Whats the deal with him again?

I require the presence of Lord Vader.

I am ready for some pre-order camping. Bring on the wait... then the madness. :lol

Does anyone have a list of everything thats going up tonight?

This seems to be it, as near as I can tell.

http://sp.tamashii.jp/item_announced/

I know they hadn't said so explicitly, but I really thought Mashin Chaser would be amongst the offerings. Looks like it's just non-Toku for me tonight.

Damn.

Seems they're still trying to add more shit to April and that's what is tonight. Haven't done May preorders yet.

Somewhat of a relief, but still need a lot of non-toku stuff heh.

Oh so no Chaser today? That's cool then I might actually get some sleep haha. I'm almost tempted by Iron Man but the figma figures always come off looking nicer, here his hands look kinda chunky and he doesn't look like he'll come with much.
