Don't forget the Beetleborgs dvds couldn't even sell enough for SHOUT! to finish the series.

Looks awesome, can't wait for mine to show up.

Well, to be fair, why would they WANT to?

I noticed that in some of the Figuarts Mach coverage I've seen - I don't recall where, exactly, there's a clear picture of Mach and Drive, with Drive holding the handle sword.

I can't seem to find any information on which release the sword comes with: Drive, Mashin Chaser, Mach, or one of the bikes. Any ideas? I don't remember seeing it with any Drive solicits, so I'm curious.

Yeah since it make no sense to do that since they didn't brand the Ryuki figuarts with the Dragon Knight logo and Dragon Knight is more recent. Most fans hate Masked Rider and a lot of causal people forgot that it exist. I think keeping Black RX renewal box the same as the Japanese box was a smart idea.

There's also the fact that RX is popular overseas in the first place. I would imagine moreso than Masked Rider.

My SHF Blue Beet is finally shipped. I guess mine should be here on the last week of February :).

So got my shipping notice from N-Y but i have a question for you all! ive never pre ordered anything from them i chose EMS shipping but i got a tracking number for fedex! not complaining since it seems like it will be way faster! just curious if this is normal!

From my experience with EMS shipping it is, but because of where I am located, it still goes through USPS, so SAL registered is cheaper and faster for me.

MOTHER OF GODOKA.

Please let this be so...

What are you specifically referring to? The link is just a list of all the April releases.

Lemon Energy Baron.

I believe that's just when the lottery winner ones are being released.

I thought that had come and gone already.

Not that I know of. April/May is usually about the time the post-event figures are released via webshop, it's just this year they didn't make them available to everyone.

Well great. There goes my good mood.

well no complaints here now thanks to N-Y fedex thing i should be getting blue beet Wed! it just seemed odd everytime i order from either Mandarake or N-Y or amiami and pick EMS i get a tracking number through Japan Post. so i was a bit confused

My January order shipped too. Hopefully will get here Friday since I may not be home to sign for it if it arrives on Saturday.

Currently in transit, let's see how customs screws me over this time.

Has anyone seen this?

Kiva? KIVA? Ibuki? IBUKI? plz b tru.

So what would you guys say is a decent price for figuarts bikes? or should I even buy them?

I rarely see SHF bikes for anything close to what I'd personally consider "reasonable". $40-50 is a good bit more than they're worth to me, but I rarely see them go for less than that.

Is that $40 to 50 with or without shipping?

Before.

Machine Massigler seems to run about $20 and I got my Gills Raider for $15. I think I paid $30 for Machine Meteostar, too. Sakura Hurricane hovers around the $25 mark as well. Granted they're not considered the most exciting bikes by some. Really, a good price is dependent on whether you're comfortable paying it. I eventually had to bite the bullet and shell out to get a Machine Tornador at what I figured to be a reasonable price for that particular item, though I suspect a lot of other folks might disagree with that.

So let's move on to a happier note. I can now recreate one of the very, very, very few moments from the Super Hero Taisen series that made my inner fanboy squee. And my outer fanboy squee even harder.

My epic [failure of] photoshop skills at work, ladies and gentlemen.

Nice!

If they keep it up with the Metal Heroes, we'll be able to do the Gokai Metal Galleon Buster ;D

Just one problem:

We never got a Galleon Buster.

We're pretty much only four away: Kabuto, Jiraiya, Jiban, and Draft Redder.

That is a problem now isn't it.

I am in absolute aw of SHF Blue Beet. Mine should be here this weekend, I hope. March and May cannot come fast enough.

I'm rooting for Kabuto next.

They did a great job on his paint. He's beautiful up close, you wouldn't believe there's not a bit of chrome on him if you didn't see it in person.

No Buster? Eh... just a pose-picture with the Gokaigers and the corresponding Metal Heroes then.

And Kabuto is happening sooner than later I imagine. But which one? I want both.

I do not own it myself, but the best stand in for that would likely be the one that came in the Super Megaforce 6 pack. I would have bought it, but I literally only wanted that Buster out of it.

This.

Yay! My January NY order w/Blue Beet & the Gaim two-pack has entered customs, my other NY order with Duke has finally shipped and just paid my AmiAmi order with OOO Shauta (the last OOO Figuart I wanted, though I could talk myself into Gatakiriba if I saw it for a cheap price).

So I've done a 180 on Pine Arms. I think I'm actually liking him better than Mango Baron, though that may be because Baron's hands not fitting properly.

Disappointed with the connector rings on the Pine Iron though. Very flimsy.
