I love the heck out of that Nigou, I definitely want that.

What, what? I though only Nigo had stripes, and Ichigo didn't.

I believe Ichigou's Shin outfit has the two stripes. I'm not sure if his original ones do.

Oh wow I've been waiting to get a old Nigou because I want to use the darker helmet with the red gloves of shin-Nigou. But the plus that it comes with his version of the cyclone makes me excited, I really love that bike and I do not mind owning a fourth version of it.

Original Nigo re-release? I'm sold. I've been wanting him for a while but can never find the original release of him.

Just preordered Sigurd from NY.

Ordered Sigurd & the Mashin Chaser set (and Hulkbuster...OUCH) as well.

I think I'll pass on Horse Orphnoch. It looks interesting, and cool for those that were waiting for that. The colors just don't grab me, is all.

Bit the Bullet and preordered Hulkbuster from NY vs ordering from BBTS. Got to save up!

Y'know, on second thought, I am going to complain about the Drive accessory count.

That Bandai didn't include a regular Type Speed shift car to place on his belt holster when he's in a TK form is just sloppy. Points off.

On another note, I haven't even watched Faiz yet, and I'm slightly tempted by the Horse Orphanoch. How often do they release villains for ANY Rider?

Other than Rider villains? Not often lol

Although Horse is not necessarily a "villain".

Just ordered a 5000 yen Gridon on Mandarake. Lowest I've seen him in a long, long time. Hopefully I get him..

This isn't really inaccurate since he never places Type Speed onto the holster. Gaim not coming with any of the lock seeds for his was a much more irksome minor discrepancy.

We get Rider villains quite regularly. Just looking at the most recent seasons, we got Medusa, Phoenix and White Wizard, Gaim has had several and is still slowly going through its extensive cast of characters and we're already getting Heart and Machin Chaser for Drive.

To be fair though, Chaser was effectively the "Second Rider" even before he was revealed to orignially be/become a proper Rider, not to mention that he's the deuteragonist of Drive. So him NOT getting a release early on would be... Well, just wrong.

I'm still a bit miffed that we get Heart before we get a single Overlord, especially Lord Baron.

That needs to happen this year. This and Knuckle.

A reissue of Shin Zangetsu would be nice, if hilarously, hideously unlikely. If only to drive the price down just a little.

I mean seriously, it's ridiculous.

Yeah reissues of Web Exclusives are highly unlikely, they have to do stupid shit like with the dusty Godzilla that was revealed recently to make it work. And sadly there are not much repaint options for the energized melon.

But yeah the prices he's going for are ridiculous, in retrospect I'm glad I went with the slightly overpriced Day 1-stock at NY. It was expensive, but still a lot cheaper then what they charge for him now.

It would be funny if they cheat the rule and release a Kamen Rider Zangetsu Melon Energy - Mitsuzane Kureshima Edition, which looks exactly the same but the package tells you it's supposed to be Micchy in the suit. An amusing fact that you can happily ignore and have a perfect Zangetsu Shin without spending hundreds of bucks to get one.

Oh if only they were that savvy/generous...

Maybe just BARELY tweak the color scheme by half a shade or something.

o_O

How bad has it gotten for him?!? Zangetsu Shin is one of the few Gaim suits I didn't have a big interest in owning so haven't paid attention at all.

Well, comparatively, last time I saw one on Mandarake, he was for 15000

I've seen him go for upwards of 12000 on Amiami and Jungle. Comparitively, I've found Knight, who is older and much more worth the price tag, for somewhere between 9500 to 10800, depending on how fast you are and where you look.

That would be cool if they did that. Maybe give Zangetsu Final some new items as well.

Glad I got my Zangetsu Shin when I did, even if he does have a slightly fucked up eye. Lol.

Speaking of which, how is Kachidoki doing in the aftermarket? I really want that form and it's almost absurd how expensive it was in the aftermarket for being a retail release.

Well yeah, all of them have their little "differences" ;D

It's funny though if you think your figures have a paint-error when they really don't. I looked at my Duke in my cabinet some time ago and was like "Ugh, there's a splat of black paint on the face". When I looked at him again weeks later in proper light I realized it was just a shade that looked like a paint-error :D

6800-7500ish.

When we can expect Rider 3 to go up for pre-order on Ami Ami?

Beginning of next month, just like every time new mass release figures go up for preorder.

Most people assumed he was more of a Shadowmoon type villain. It was pretty obvious he quite early on that he wasn't going to stay evil, but that was his role for half of the show, so I'd still consider Machin Chaser to be a villain, even if he eventually becomes Kamen Rider Chaser and gets a new suit.

G-Stag, Reddle and Juspion are on the way from NY :D

I get the feeling once pictures start being posted I'm going to regret not pre-ordering G-Stag and Reddle a lot more.

Beetleborgs was such a central part of my childhood that no way am I letting these babies slip by. Lol.

Although I'd really like some B-Fighter Kabuto figures.

My NY order with G-Stag, Reddle & Juspion is also at "Preparation in progess." If it can ship out in the next day or two, hopefully it can arrive by the end of this week.

Since I wasn’t to keen on owning the mold three more times I stopped after Blue Beet, but I'm still excited to see the whole team assembled (and getting their asses kicked by Black Beet), so you better make some cool pics for me guys!

Meanwhile I have to wait one more month for my next package from Japan, but oh boy this little red devil will look good in my Gaim display.

You and I both.

Here's hoping they do a Super Blue Beet down the line...

Ayup. My stuff from N-Y is in preparation as well. Sadly, since it was an expensive haul this month, I opted for SAL shipping. I look forward to seeing everyone's pics long before my own arrive. :lol

Crap, what is AmiAmi's email? I need to cancel my Chase and Mach orders asap.

Log into your account and click "Contact us" in the upper menu bar.

Thanks I just sent them an email.

Just got my order confirmation from Mandarake for Gridon! ^_^
