Now that I have Gridon in hand I can confirm (subjectively) that Gridon Kiwi Arms is damn awesome :lol

Mine needs to hurry up and get here. : (

So pre-orders open up at 16:00 tomorrow japan time right? IIRC, 1 in the morning if you're stateside and live on the East Coast?

Gridon...was not the next one I was expecting. No complaints from me though :D

Figuarts Gridon looks pretty good. Again, with him being exclusive it makes me wonder about Bravo.

3500 Gaim on mandarake-

Aww man so that 2000 yen Zangetsu I ordered on Mandarake was cancelled, guess I was too slow off the bat.

Really can't wait for Sunday now, Cstoys is pretty much the only reliable retailer when you miss out on preorders and the such. Well provided you're fast enough at activation.

Also on topic, I really REALLY like the kachidoki gun, it's such a nice looking weapon, even though I don't usually collect weapons, when I see a nice looking gun toy I'm going for it. And it's nice to see that the other Energy Riders are getting toys, though I'm surprised Duke was the first one to appear outside of Shin Zangetsu, thought they'd push Sigurd out first.

Pre-orders for what?

EDIT: Also, Peach Energy demo.

If you mean for Gridon, no, he's exclusive. He's up on Nippon Yasan right now, though.

If you mean Ryugen and Zangetsu, no one knows when those are going up. It could be next week, it could be the end of the month, it could even be as late as the end of March. You just kind of have to wait and see.

I found the FRESH Pine lockseed today, so happy.
Now I just need to get the Fresh Orange one.

Where did you happen to find it? Was it online or in person locally?

Found it in person in Costa Mesa California at the local Japanese bookstore, picked up the last copy of Youchien.

Please HLJ, don't flake on me now...

I uh...I just preordered shin and most upcoming arms change figures on HLJ, sorta a last resort thing. I'm guessing my chances of getting the figures may be fairly slim :S

God he looks so pretty.

Not up on the news. Whats the difference between the original lockseed and the fresh ones?

From a Tumblr post:

Lastly is the Fresh Orange (フレッシュオレンジ / Furesshu Orenji) variant which came with an issue of Televi-kun magazine. This is similar to the orange recolor above but with a black translucent lock piece. The sounds are conceptually Fresh Orange variants of the Orange sounds and finishers, even going so far as to have Fresh Orange Arms, but they are all delivered with a more joyous voice. A bonus sound is included which says “The Sengoku era Rider Televi-kun Special!” (ライダー戦国時代てれびくんスペシャル！ / Raidā Sengoku Jidai Terebi-kun Supesharu!)

Woah, HLJ just hit order stop on shin Zangetsu, like literally in the past half hour since I ordered.

I don't know if that's a good or bad sign right now....

3000 yen Gaim! GO GO GO!
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en...s-1484968.html

YEAH! Just got a payment request from HLJ for Shin Zangetsu!

Man, I shouldn't be this pumped for a company to fulfill a pre-order.

Actually Sentai Tamashii, Kickback, & myself got payment request for our joint order as well. Bizarre. And likely this will never happen again.

You're pumped because it'll never happen again :lol

Damn, I should've stuck with it -__-. Now I just hope Kurokage's preorder pulls through on there >_<

Remember when I said I´m not interested in Gaim stuff at the moment?

Yeah fuck that I bought a Sengoku Driver and a Pine Lock Seed & Lock Seed Holder set at Hobby Search today :lol

Damn it, another Beat Rider team to go up against >_< :lol

I just couldnt say no :lol

Wanna borrow my Fourze Lock Seed so you and Suzu can be Team Fourze? :lol

We will be the team that befriends every Beat Riders :lol

Ahaaa I guess it was too good to be true that I'd get in on the Shin Zangetsu preorder if everyone is getting theirs in now :'<

So Team Fourze? :lol

Guys guys guys

AC Gridon for a pretty good price on amazon right now!

http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Kamen-G...+Rider+gaim+AC

If only I had $14 I could do it....

....Someboyd go buy something in my shop quick! :lol

...I am oddly tempted to get that just for the bike and sell Gridon (since mine is on the way). But alas, must make sales first >_<

You and me both >_<

You know, I wouldn't mind taking a Gridon off your hands depending on the price. :D I honestly don't care much for the Dandeliner just cause I prefer vehicles with wheels. Haha

I just got my payment request from HLJ for shin zangetsu, anyone else get theres yet?

Yeah, just got mine! This is the first preorder I've ever actually gotten from them.

I have not.

I haven't either, same for the peach energy lock seed, man HLJ used to be so good, what happened to them :<

They really need to fix their system to tell those who aren't getting items that they don't have enough stock because it's just bullcrap :<

I got one! Yay! I literally screamed "DEAL!" after I bought it. Gridon was so cheap, I can now buy Bujin Gaim!
