Looks like all those cheap Gridons were a listing error, just got my order cancelled.

Yeah got the same message, stupidly disappointed right now :(

I got a conformation email right away. Does this mean I actually paid the 60+ they changed it to?

It sucks the order was cancelled, but its kind of annoying they are asking buyers to cancel the order themselves so they can avoid responsibility.

Seems CSTOYS got some gridons in and a whole bunch of New stuff, definitely going for their activations tomorrow!

Did more Lock Seed mods-

Missed out on CSToys restock of Arms Change Gaim, major bummer

I missed out on Melon Energy Arms at Cstoys, but strangely after I got an email confirming I got it from Mandarake which surprised the hell out of me.

At the very least managed to grab Gridon and a peach energy lockseed from cstoys.

I managed to get a Gridon, Sakura Hurricane and candy Ichigo Lock Seed from CSToys. At least, I got a confirmation for them. It's been a while since I've ordered from CSToys so I don't know if they cancel later if you were too late or what.

Nah they never cancel, that's the best thing about their system when something is out of stock no orders will go through, did it when I tried for shin zangetsu, scared me because I thought I'd miss out on Gridon.

argh, I missed out on Gridon...

So I just decided to start on Gaim Toys (Expecting a Sengoku Driver sometime this week), and I was wonder if anybody could tell me or point me to somewhere that points out differences in the varying levels of Lock Seeds, eg what makes a DX different from a candy toy or a gashapon Lock Seed?

I posted a difference in Lock Seeds earlier in this thread :)

How was the mod achieved?

Taking it apart and threading the button to the switch, then tying it securely enough that the switch can activate the sounds too :). Gotta be careful though, some seeds will end up activating every time you open it up. I'm gonna tackle LED additions when I make a get a little more money

Is it possible to be excited for a sengoku driver?

NO!

YES!

...Maybe???

I'm not a roleplay fan so can't comment

Its all in the eyes of the beholder. And the lockseed's play a part too

Thanks, I managed to find it with the Search function.

No prob :). Candy toy are pretty much the same as Gashapon only they have the DX's rounded sides, lower quality sound and a solid lock.

Don't know if it is true
But a shop posted about discontinuation of Kiwi and Mango Lockseed.

What?! Please tell me thats bullshit. I still have to get them DX wise. I might have to go grab the candy/gashspon now just in case...

Could be that they just don't have any coming in any more.

Is that so? Well I guess I'll avoid those then, since the sounds are what I'm after.

Is it true that the Gasha/Candy versions of the energy Lock Seeds aren't going to open properly? I remember reading that somewhere but can't seem to find it back.

From what I saw in the Candy Toy preview, you have to open Melon Energy manually. No clue on how the Gashapon versions will work out though. Also, Gashapon, like the Candy Toy Melon Energy, are with a solid baby blue plastic as opposed to clear blue.

3000yen AC Gaim! Go!

Candy toy set 5!

Oh, so we get Candy versions of OOO and Fourze now? I wonder if W and Wizard will be in the next one.

Crap, does this mean we'll get locks for all the individual Showa riders too?

Also, there's already an "Ichigo" Lock Seed, so how the hell will that work? Lol.

I'm glad I'm sticking to the neo heisei lockseed rule of mine, otherwise I'd have too much trouble getting them all, I'll be fine with getting those movie lockseeds that let you cycle through the different riders.

Cool, Candy Toy OOO and Fourze. Hope they do one for Double.

I still want the DX OOO and Fourze, so Im glad theres nothin there Ill want :lol

...crap.

WELP. I'll have some to sell then that's for sure.

You know what? I'll buy a TaToBa to make into the Purple Eyed TaToBa version

That's......why I didn't I think of that? xD

My arms change figures came in and I wasn't expecting them to be so good!

Photos and videos do the figures no justice, in them I found the armour to be ugly and clunky but in person it's just so perfect!

Alright guys so I've wound up with an extra Gridon set if anybody needs one. $50 (that's shipping included) and it's yours!

Amiami had a preorder for AC Duke but they already sold out.

Son of a bitch.

Frakin toasters. How did I miss that one?

Okay that's a bit weird, unless I missed something then our upcoming AC releases are.

AC08- Shin Zangetsu
AC09- Kurokage w/ Tulip Hopper
AC10- Jinba Lemon Gaim
AC11 ???
AC12- Duke

Was there an announcement for AC11?

And quick question, a bunch of the backorders and preorders I had on some AC figures at HLJ are now "Order Stop" so is it still worth holding onto them?
