Well that sucks.

Have Ryuga on special order...no loss with Verde...

See, I want all of the Ryuki riders, so no Ryuga and Verde is a big loss for me.

You COULD get away with grabbing the Figmas. While Verde sucks, Camo sucks harder so he's really easy to find.

Nah, I only want the Figuarts for consistency reasons.

Same for me. The experiences I've had with Dragon Knight figmas have shown me that they aren't a good substitute. A temporary stand-in is one thing, but I wouldn't ever get one of these over owning the actual Figuart.

Maybe I'm just weird. Yes, the Figuarts are superior in EVERY single way, but I'd rather not pay almost 100 bucks for a character that I don't like when I can get the same character for less than 20, even if the figure is slightly different than the others.

But I completely see your point. Unless you stick the Figma in the back in a neutral pose it could stick out like a sore thumb.

The Figmas were good for when they came out. It's just that the oxygen got sucked out of the room real fast when Bandai started showing the Ryuki Figuarts.

No, I can understand the logic. Personally if I was going to have a Gai in my collection, which I'd rather not because I hate the bastard, I'd go with the Figma.

Considering SHF Gai doesn't even include Metalgelas (Which would've been a huge selling point), I don't see the point in spending $70 for a character you'd probably display in the back with little regard...

I paid $94 for Gai, FOR GAI!!! I guess that shows that I'm okay with it, at least for Ryuki riders. And since no one is as bad as Gai in my book, I paid $94 for the worst of the worst. The only thing that could be worse than Gai in the riderverse is Kaixa from 555's.

Agreed. Kaixa sucks.

It's the man in the suit... the gear is awesome..

In Gai's case it's the man and the suit that I hate :p

Do you see me defending Gai?

I love Gai's suit design.

Then again, there's something about Rhino-themed costumes or armor that constantly draws me in.

I always felt his suit was lazy. The card loader being on the shoulder bugged the hell out of me.
:lol no. Just had to put it out there.

You wanna see lazy suit design, just look at Ryuga.
Literally a black repaint of Ryuki's.

Yeah! Or Femme! I mean, it looks like there's a WOMAN in there or something!! SO LAZY, DESIGNERS!

Actually...laziest suit design would have to be Scissors...it is a reskin of a Lord from Agito, I kid you not! (Still want that figuart though...)

How is it a reskin?

I know, right!?
Don't even get me started on Alternative and Alternative Zero!

You shut your smart mouth! Alternative Zero rocked :p

he is in episode 30...has the same head, and the claw weapon is exactly Scissors Visor. They basically took the costume frame and put the armor over it instead of the "skin"."

Finally got my Fourze (well I got him on Friday, haven't had much of a chance to mess with him until today though):

Wish my cell phone didn't take such poor pictures, especially since the lighting in my room is kinda bad, but ah well.

I know the feeling. But that's a great figure!

HLJ's got another sale going on, 1400 Yen GokaiGreen and Silver, 1600 yen Fourze Figuarts, cheap Fire Rodan and Mougera Monsterarts and probably more.

Don't remind me...

They've also got a 1800 yen raia. Can anyone recommend it? I was kind of iffy on him.

It'll make you want Genocider :D

I saw the HLJ sale, and they have two of the other Fourze modules I need on sale for like 900Y, but I do not have the money to get them. I just paid rent.

I'm pretty much in this exact same boat.
Except replace Fourze modules with Raia :S

I do wonder if that gokai green will come with the darin.but alot of good prices on those figuarts at HLJ.sadly they end the sale within another week.

Oh man. Thats not good. Lord knows my wallet doesn't want that to happen. Time to find a Ouja as well. :lol

I had to get Red Buster while he's on sale. I'll never bring myself to pay full price for him and that's by far the lowest price I've ever seen him go for.

I am tempted severely by the Super Shinkenred and Gokai Silver, I want them so bad but the shipping ruins it

The downside of only getting paid once a month...

LOL thats true but I think also people who have gotten him dislike him as well maybe thats y hes so cheap and he came out this year.

How long is this sale for? I wouldn't mind getting even just the first module set for Fourze (just so I can have a module for each of his limbs), but money is tight for me.

Edit: Nevermind, sale ends a couple days before my next payday.

Ah well, wouldn't have been able to convince the lil' lady on the set anyways.

Tempted by that Super Shinken Red. Any recommendations from those who have him? Or should I just save my money to catch up on the 3 or 4 web exclusive figures I'm behind on?

I went and bought Shinken Red and Gokai Silver on the HLJ sale. At the price they were asking I couldn't say no.
