I see. Well, Imperer is slated to be "sold out" apparently...

I'm really mad though. I got Odin for 33 bucks. And now it's dropped to 27... and my order shipped yesterday.

Its the way they do the listing, all preorders are noted as Sold Out, you have to click "Ordering Information" Where add to cart normally is, then fill out the form and boom! Youll be contacted for payment, you have to pay for the figure now and pay for shipping later.

I still think CSToys charges absurd prices for a lot of stuff compared to their competitors.

They do pretty good on preorders, Ive only got two figures from them though.

I think the reason for the prices is that they are a small store, they charge full retail I think. They only get 6-8 at the most of a time of stuff, shipping is a bit more than other places. I guess when they can order a lot at one time like other stores they can do discounts and such. They are great for Gashapons and Candy toys if caught on launch day.

Aside from preorders I dont order from them, the shipping factor is a major part of it, $80 for a GaburuRevolver with EMS? Nope. Ill try and get it soon on mandarake.

I see. Well, I think I'll wait if Imperer ever goes to the $30ish range.

How would you guys rank the current Ryuki Figures (contract-monsters-only not included or the blank form) based on price and accessories?

Add in the Survive forms, and Abyss and Alternative-Zero into the mix if you want.

Ryuki/Dragredder
Knight/Darkwing
Zolda
Ouja
Raia
Gai
Tiger
Scissors
Verde
Odin/Goldphoenix
Ryuga/Dragblacker
Abyss
Alternative Zero
Imperer
Ryuki Survive
Knight Survive

Has anyone used Big in Japan for TWE's? I tink their shipping might be cheaper than CSToys's. Speaking of which, would EMS shippng for Imperer from CSToys be roughly 20 dollars?

It should be, my Pteraranger and Kibaranger were both about $20 EMS

Now that I'm actually watching the season, kinda surprised to not see any Hibiki figuarts. It's such an awesome design, and a beautiful colorscheme that it's a shame to not see it get high quality plastic representation.

I also still really need to get around to picking up Zolda, but I've been on a "no more toys" thing for a while, and have not picked up any since I got my Ryuki Survive.

Ok im so dissapointed right now, i purchased my ryuranger back when released from amiami and i finally opened it to check if he has that super tight joint and it did tried moving his arm and it snapped clean off at the shoulder =[ my first figuarts break! does anyone know if ami ami would replace it or is it not even worth trying and just better off buying another one? and if so are all of them having the stiff joints or it varies? cus my MMPR white ranger seems to have it too!
