I can't find the strawberry/pine arms set anywhere either... I hope there is a restock soon

Anyone know when Suika/Watermelon arms is slated to be released? I've seen a November 23rd release date, but from only one seller.

I didn't realize just how big Watermelon Arms is.

That's what Amazon Japan is saying. They seem to be right every time.

oh wow, theyre really going all out on this DX line, that thing looks great, im wondering what they will follow it up with!

Ive just ordered the first 3 AC riders (1 from CS toys to spend some store credit, the other 2 from Mandarake), just wondering, who's picking up the lockseeds to go with the figures for display purposes? I had to add the first 4 candy toy seeds to my order to get it up to the right amount, might as well keep them for display.

Has anyone seen any pre-orders up for the Legend Riders (Wizard, W, Fourze, and OOO) arms set? If so, where?

Getting AC Gaim and Baron was enough for me to want to go all-in on the line. The Arms Change gimmick is so fun in practice, and the base Rider bodies have a lot more polish than I expected. Just paid for Ryugen and Pineapple/Strawberry off Mandarake, feels good~

What did you search for on Mandarake to find the pine/strawberry set? I haven't found it in stock!

Ehwah?

I've been perving that site daily looking for that set.

Im unimpressed i missed Pinapple and Strawberry arms, but seeing as today ive had shipping notifications for AC Gaim, Baron and Ryugen and the Rose Attacker bike, i cant be too sad. And im glad i picked EMS shipping hehe!

Thing is, I don't want to buy Ryugen by himself because I want to make it worth my time. So I'm waiting until Pine/Strawberry come back up.

I saw the strawberry/pine arms on Mandarake, had it in my cart and was checking out, but when I submitted my order, someone else had already bought it. Grrrr

Why is it transforming fruit armor is somehow so dang cool? O_o I've never watched the show and yet the toys I see for them and the fruit armor...

The Japanese are VERY clever. I hated the suit designs, im not even that impressed with the show so far (although the themes are growing on me) yet I've gone to great trouble to order as many of these figures as i can. It creeps inside your brain and you cant escape it. I love the concept, and ive no idea why!

They're definitely trying to expand the fan base to include more girls. The colors, designs and healthy food say it all. Parents are also happy because it teaches healthy food can be cool, though fruit and vegetables are already typical foods that kids enjoy in Japan (unlike the US where we grow into them as we get older). What kids eat green beans, peas and carrots.....

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

That's why everyone in Japan is so fit!

Make up your mind already!

It's fun, but with the way the threads read people treat the show like the second coming and I honestly don't see what is so special about it.

Mmm... are you ever impressed by any Toku show? I've seen more negative posts from you than positive lately. Just saying.

I try to always keep my arguments balanced, the rules of the universe is every positive charges needs a negative one after all, which often makes my posts come across as unintentionally negative. I think the last great toku show I watched was the first season of GARO, it's just a shame about that ending.

Trust me dude, you don't need to help the universe balance by adding negative. There's enough of that.

True but people are less likely to take your post seriously if it's all in a single direction.

Actually no, I don't think that's true at all.

In fact, that's the opposite of true. Because otherwise it makes you look inconsistent.

Idealy you wouldn't care what people think of your posts, especially if you're counting on them reading every single one. I don't think everyone's going to read each one to determine an even 50/50 average.

I guess it's just a habit, I wrote reviews long before I posted on forums, which is why my posts usually come out as reviews. When reviewing something no one takes you seriously, unless you can give a balanced argument of your opinion.

Messed a bit with the DX Sengoku Driver I got yesterday.

Man, the heavy spring they use in the Locks is so satisfying, kinda made me jump a little at how loud the release noise was. I can already tell this thing's gonna be a lot of fun.

I THINK I may have finally snagged Pine/Ichigo arms and Ryugen.

I just barely missed pine/Ichi on mandarake :(

That might have actually been me. :(

I ordered about twelve-ish hours ago.

You two should FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

Yup that was you, I was going to check out and it said there wasn't enough stock for my shopping cart.

Dang, was that the link I sent you last night? :/

No...a fruit cook off to the death!

Yeah, I wound up deciding to order it even without anything else to put in the order. Oh well

Aw man, I feel kind of bad. :(

But, I mean, it'll show up again, right?

Who knows, maybe I didn't even get it!

Nah. No reason to fell bad, I had that thing in my cart forever and was trying to reason out ordering something else with it to make it worth while. Not a big deal. More will appear I'm sure.

so... any words on the arms action figures?

Oh man! The Sengoku Driver is a lot of fun. I am loving the amount of variety and play patterns you get.

I think I'm in for the long haul, I definitely want to start buying Lock Seeds that belong to the main chars.

The belt sounds so disappointed when you remove a lock seed. Now if you excuse me…I think I'm gonna go annoy people with it like Kouta. :lol

My AmiAmi order of the case is awaiting payment, so they're out.

noticed the DX Watermelon arms set on Mandarake last night, took great restraint to say no. Terribly great restraint

Videos of Arms Action figures are now on Youtube.

Finally, a very low quality video, but it shows Gaim without stickers on, giving a better idea of what to expect out of box

My thoughts: I was hoping for bicep joints, but for the price I can live with it. The back of the legs look really bad with those huge holes. Otherwise, they're exactly what I was expecting.



EDIT: Not related to the rest of the post, but just a damn cool way to display Lockseeds:
