If youre paying $80 for a figuart, youre doing it wrong. When i was in New York i visited Image Anime, the guy there was impressed that a Brit had heard of them, but their prices were for the most part way overboard. I get they need a profit to cover the expense of running their store, but if i ever make it back, im browsing, not buying.

I totally get that stores have to make their cut, i totally understand that, but Kapow toys in the UK have a preorder up for SHF Agito Shining Form as Bandai is starting to be open to importing them to the UK. Their preorder is for £28 (less than $45 converted). Thats incredibly reasonable and not a huge margin, and this is the trial run to see if the market is suitably there.

Savvy collectors really shouldnt be getting stung by these prices when theres plenty of avenues to get them imported that will cost less in the long run.

I first used Nippon-Yasan for Pteraranger and had no trouble at all. Like it says, you don't have to pay up front and the price ends up a little bit more than it would be to wait for Bluefin to release it on Amazon. I actually just paid for Mammoth Ranger today and it was $53 shipped.

I'm a frequent buyer from Image Anime, since I can travel there by subway, and yeah most of their prices are way too overboard. Their TWE offerings are usually 100 a pop and some of their Sentai figuarts are insane. $65 for Red Buster or for each of the S1 Akibarangers when you can get them dirt cheap at other places is going way over the line.

On the flip-side though, they're one of the best when it comes to bluefin-distributed releases. At least then the prices are in line with every other place. Older Figuarts tend to be reasonably priced as well.

So anyone willing to split the Kyoryuger pack and sell me Pink eh eh?:p:lol

To the stage!

oh hell yes kurokage, and sweet freaking jesus, they have bravo on a couch with wine. I hope bravo at least comes with the wine, and if we are lucky, a couch at some point.

Jesus christ, I think I'm going to need to buy a little couch just to pose Bravo on now...

Brilliant way to display him.

Oh please let him come with the wine.

WHY IS GAIM SO GOOD?

it is official, we now have the rider talk show host, Bravo! so many late night talk show set ups and gags come to mind for this figuart.

If Bravo doesn't include Tamashii Stage Act Couch I'll sue! :lol
