Last time I check, there was no American Kamen Rider show in works.

Nothing. It's a waste of a step and a needless delay, but presumably something Toei feels compelled to hold up due to their partnership with Saban for Power Rangers, since Saban has its hand and own licensing fees tied into the Bluefin SHF Power Rangers releases. It's all the more pointless since Saban abandoned the Power Rider trademark, suggesting even less interest than before.

No kidding! Thus Fourze and Wizard got Bluefin releases, and the same is presumably true of Gaim in a few weeks.

Sure, if you have a interest in the series or the designs, which I assume you do. Looks like you're into Figuarts, so find a series or design you like and enjoy! Just be careful......this can be a slippery and deep rabbit hole, lined to take your bank account.

Oh I learned that once already lol. It is a very dangerous rabbit hole. I somehow got out of it. But now I think it may pull me back into that hole when I took a gander at what's been released since I stopped collecting figuarts. :p

So you're not really new to Figuarts, just the sentai stuff. Ok. Well, not sure what to say. This is my current addiction. Used to be Marvel Legends, now this. I get what I like, and as a lone deviates from my list of character, I drop out. Guess I'm just weird. :p

I never collected much as a kid. I've had toys here and there growing up, but to be honest, figuarts was the first figures that I actually started to invest a quite of money into.

And you are correct, I've bought Kamen Rider figuarts, but this is my first venture into Sentai figuarts.

I was looking around for Dekaranger figuarts (on the top of my favorite list), but those cost a chunk of change now.... Bummer.

WTF is up with Anime Export and Tamashii web exclusive Figuarts?

Gridon is 43xx yen at Nippon Yasan, but 48xx yen at Anime Export.

Aren't Tamashii web exclusives a fixed price, made to order? It's not like there's limited supply, and its not out till July!

I like N-Y's delayed payment and cheaper price (Duh) but I also like Anime Export's order system where you can hold items to ship together. Unfortunately they make you pay upfront, and this is $5 more expensive to boot. Jeez.

Check sites like Mandarake and Jungle and you should be able to get everyone but Deka Red for 3500-4000 yen each. Deka Red is actually the cheapest one to get, since I usually see it going for around 1200-1500 yen.

Yes any no. Remember though web exclusives can only be purchased directly in Japan. Any middleman service you use will charge a premium/fee on top of the normal price. This will vary from site to site. Otherwise there would be no profit for them.

You can technically ship together from Nippon Yasan as well, but payment for the full order is due at the earliest release date of items in the order.

Yup. An exclusive is the same price as any other regular figure. It's those middleman fees that jacks the price by double.
