I know that feeling. It seems like every time I step away from the computer is when a Kibaranger goes up and is instantly gone.

I wish there were other places than Mandarake for him at a reasonable price.

Since I get paid tomorrow, I want to use my money for some figures, but I don't really have as much money to throw away now. And so although I still really wanna add Beast and his Mantles to my collection, and maybe a Robo Knight as well, I really don't have like seventy quid to lay down. And those are used Mandrake prices.

Were figuarts always this expensive or am I just realising how much they are now I actually need to spend money on bills and stuff again?

Exactly. It's frustrating. I shouldn't complain though, I've gotten some decent deals on Mandarake, and I have some cool stuff on the way overall. What's equally frustrating is trying to get something like Kibaranger and something cheaper at the same time like Bouken Red or something. I like to try to buy a few things at once with every Mandarake order, so it's always over 5000 yen. I've yet to buy any of the Akibaranger figures yet and I still need Bouken Red, Hurricane Red, Deka Red, and Red Hawk. I'm pretty behind, lol.

Seeing you guys try to get a Kibaranger is making me glad I got a preorder in. Not rubbing it in your faces, just saying that one headache I dont have to worry about. :lol

I won't buy him for much over retail, I'm fine getting the US version since I don't care about the Akibaranger part. It's just the box. It's so cool! lol.

Glad I got with my middleman early on this one.

Well, I have the White Ranger on Pre-Order, but I'd like to get the Kibaranger version if I can instead. If not, well, I can live.

Mandarake was the only way I completed both Dekaranger and Shinkenger for what I consider reasonable prices. I'm working on getting the rest of Gokaiger (need SIlver, Yellow, and Pink).

I have Bouken Blue and Black coming from Amazon along with Sailor Moon right now.

I'm the same. I'd rather get the Jp version of Kiba, if he ever shows up on Mandarake, but if I get the US version first, I'm cool with that.

I'm slowly back tracking. I collect so many different lines that the Sentai stuff is low on my wants. Unless it's Zyuranger, Kyoryuger, or Gosei which I have an affinity for. I like Hurricanger a lot too. I know once I watch more Sentai's I'll want the other teams too, so I figure I'll pick them up while they are available. lol.

Yeah, exactly. I started down a dark road when I got the Japanese versions of Dragon & Tyranno Ranger, because now I want matching packaging. I won't be displaying Kibaranger with the Zyurangers, but with the other Gosei Sentai rangers. So I really don't want US releases if I can help it, yet I want to support the US releases too.. It's a struggle. lol.

Anyone know how much Nissan Yippon charges EMS for one figure? Im thinking preordering Mammothranger either there or Cs toys, but not sure how much the shipping difference woul be.
