$80? well actually that's, $40 apiece so I guess that would be normal release priceing, but I have to get Bouken Red before I even try to get these two :lol

That's just their listing for the Japanese version, they've done that before when Bluefin gets an exclusive - they have the exclusive version at a premium then when they get the Bluefin solicitation they drop it in favor of that version, at a cheaper price. I don't know why they don't just wait.

That's fine with me, I was more than happy with the price so if it ends up cheaper than that, all's the better.

I'll just grab it from cs toys, always works out cheaper for me

Just got an email from Amazon, my figure should be here on Friday (so what was with the estimate for next month? Whatever).

...I'm not gonna be home on Friday or most of Saturday T_T

Bluefin's price is $74.99, so it's not that huge of a difference anyways.

Well, I think that has more to do with the fact that it's hard to predict which exclusives will get Bluefin'd

True, though Bluefin did announce this one at the same time as Bandai did though.

So what you're really saying is that, for once, BBTS didn't gauge their prices like crazy for a Tamashii Exclusive :lol

My jaw dropped when I realized that :p
