The only reason I didn't leap on the Figuarts is because I own the bulk of the AC line already, jumped in before they got scalped to Toon World.

I'm just thankful that figure doesn't have a Head Swap feature...(cartoon eyes or something...) that would get painful...but Gaim I think is going to get expensive for me. These Riders are like the Ryuki Riders, and yes, I want a full display...

I didn't bother preordering Gaim or Baron because I'm sure I can get them off of Mandarake for a decent price, if they never again return to BBTS or HLJ.

Bandai you have ALL of my hatred, for now until eternity. I know preorders open tomorrow, but I don't know that I'll be able to actually do so for quite some time (unless like, I don't get charged until September). If I can't order it tomorrow, do you think it'll sell out? Or what process do I have to go through to place an order (never had to deal with getting an exclusive). How much more am I going to have to expect to pay? Will I be able to place an order and not worry about paying until release? I need to know these things T_T

Nippon-Yasan has preorders open now. At N-Y you don't have to pay until right before the figure comes out. He seems to be running about ¥5400 at both places. N-Y may be a little more, but it's worth it for me not to have to deal with all the staying up late business.

I placed a preorder from Nippon-Yasan. Opted to pay later. I should be good right, guaranteed the figure now right? Was like...¥7000+
