Next pay day I may have to hunt for one of those £25 Ryugen's just so I can replace his weapon :lol

Gashapon Lock Seed Set 10 and 11. Unfortunately, the Energy Lock Seeds are also solid plastic like the candy toys.

Lock Seed set 10- Blood Orange, Blood Orange (Plated version), Lemon Energy

Lock Seed set 11- Cherry Energy, Melon Energy

Awe, I had high hopes for the Gashapon Energy Lock seeds. :( Guess that's what I'll have to settle for if I don't want to buy the DX toys. I want Melon and Lemon.

How are ya'll finding AC stuff on Mandrake? When I put in "武器変更" (arms change) nothing comes up, and when I search "仮面ライダーエルガイム" (masked rider gaim) nothing comes up either. I really don't get it.

仮面ライダー鎧武 - for Kamen Rider Gaim

アームズチェンジ - Arms Change

Thanks!

Really disappointed with the Energy seeds being solid :( Guess if I want a good Lemon or Melon I'll need the role play toys.

Yeah...I can justify to myself to get a Genesis Driver since I have the Sengoku Driver on the way but the one I want more is Lemon Energy and I don't know if I really want that Sonic Arrow...Haha

So how much is the DX Durian/Bravo faceplate and Donguri/Gridon faceplate set gonna be? Im thinkin of gettin it dependin on that :lol

4320 yen before shipping and middleman fees.

Thanks bro. For some reason I kept thinkin it was $60 before all that. :lol In July? Im tempted for this :lol

It'll be around $60 after shipping.

I need to find me a Sonic Arrow now. Genesis is in my AmiAmi order for Feb, so I'm good there. I just need to catch a Peach Energy restock.

I miiiiiiiiight settle for a Gash Lemon Energy. Might.

Could it be possible I'm too excited for my Sengoku Driver!?!

That depends entirely on which Lockseed is going in first :P

So I trust that an LED version of one of the Lock Seeds would be labeled as such on Mandarake, yes? Just want to make sure I don't go an order one that's not the LED one.

Yup, and they're usually in the 1500-2000 yen price range

So the 600-800 yen Kiva seeds that popped up today without the LED label are legitimately not the LED ones, gotcha. :p

Now I wonder if I could find anything to pad out an order if one does pop up...

So I can understand when new SH Figuarts figures pop up because the day before a ton of new pictures show up all at once, but is there some place that posts when Amiami puts up new Arms Change figures or other items? I don't mind staying up and F5-ing it, but I never know when to try. I'm deeply concerned that many of my HLJ orders will be for naught since Gridon went from preorder to backorder.

You could always joint order with someone, and then they can ship you your stuff :)

Or you can get the normal Seed and have someone install an LED for you :D

And the Figuarts collection begins!!! I found a preorder for Baron on CDJapan.

If you're looking for preorders for the Gaim figuarts, try Anime Export, it's where I got my preorders in as it was sold out pretty much everywhere else!

Mandarake has the Mango/Kiwi for 2000 and Ichigo/Pine for 3000 at the moment.

For a brief moment there was a Zangetsu on mandarake for 2000yen. I got my order in but it's disappeared from in stock, do you think I was too slow?

I just got a sound Ankh lockseed. It's really beat , but I can't get it to say banana ice - it has a weird cycling system that somehow responds to multiple cuts of the knife. 3-ish gets orange ice and 5-ish gets budo ice, but no banana...

That's odd. It should be-

1st push- ANKH!
Push after that (This is considered the 2nd push)- ANKH ARMS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
1 Push after the second- ORANGE ICE!
2 Pushes after the second- BANANA ICE!
3 Pushes after the second- BUDOU ICE!

Decided to cancel my order for AC Gaim Jinba Lemon Arms. As much as I want the armor I've got other things I'd rather spend money on than a second Gaim, even if he does have a new belt and helmet.

Planning on buying a Sengoku Driver and some lock seeds in about 2 weeks or so. Is there a site that is trustworthy enough and cheap where I can buy one?

Soooo that Figuarts Gridon.

I gotta say I'm not liking the look of his figuart, it seems to lack a certain bulk about it and something about the colour feels off.

Kinda feel good about sticking with the AC series for the riders outside of the main four haha.

Mandarake has two up for $55.

Figuarts Gridon in July? Bandai. Why the hell you have to make me spend at least $200 a month on you? Though, I might not even get this guy. Id rather get the Lockseeds.

Is it me or is SHF Gridions shoulder pads a bit too small?

He just looks off as a whole. For me, it's the way the brown on his armor is colored. It's too similar to the brown of his suit and makes it hard to tell the two apart.

That's what I was thinking. Something seems off about him (might be the arms). I love his character and need him to go with the eventual Kurokage, but seeing after pictures I'm on the fence.

I'd probably only get him as an AC in all honestly. He's my least favorite suit design (though he is one of my favorite characters of the show). I'd rather just bite the bullet and get him on a smaller accurate scale then get him looking off.

Oh god yes Gridon. Just got the Arms Change figure in today and can't wait to have this bad boy to go along with it.

BTW, did you ever get those extra ones off of Mandarake?

Just one of them I'm afraid :(

Baltmatrix hit me up for one a bit before you and only one had come in stock. I've got a lead on another right now though, You're next in line :thumb:

Coolio.

So I messed about with the game and Gridon + Pineapple = awesomeness. He looks good with banana too.
