Ok, to clarify, I asked a clerk (who I see there often, the name escapes me) about the Gokaigers on their website. Basically, he said they'd be getting them in soon. Then he suggested I jump on it. I then asked if there would be a local release and he promptly said "no!" Now, this could just be a scare tactic, or could be lack of info on their part, but I'm taking it at face value. On another note, he didn't know there'd be two releases for Tiger Ranger, so, again there could be some sketchiness there. I just don't want to cause a panic, then be blamed if it's all a fluke. Yeah, the prices are crazy. But for whoever wants these, do your homework & use whatever services you're comfortable with. I claim no expertise, I'm no insider, I don't scry, have no magical abilities. I'm just a collector/hobbyist like all of you.

Damn, didn't mean to stir up so much trouble....

Fair enough. I still think that people waiting for a US Gokaiger release are going to be disappointed and the Gokai girls prices will probably climb as time goes on.

Bluefin announced Ulta Act Ginga for July 2014, but so far nothing about Gaim. I'm starting to think Bluefin might not release the Gaim figuarts in the US.

Will have to give this a pass, looks nice but costs too much for a bike after all the middleman fees etc.

Looking like what? A disassembled arm that doesn't have the shoulder pad on that is a macro picture so it shows my thumbprints clearly, and has excess because I was making sure there was enough in the joint? K.

And how do you know it's "faster and longer"? My method takes less time than shock oil to do, I am not sure how you would think it would take longer, especially since you have to go out and get the shock oil, and toothpicks, and have to carefully put it on the toothpick (same amount of time as shaving some bits off a bar of soap), and either have to disassemble the arm (same amount of time as a bar of soap) or struggle with the stuff in the way to put it in the joint (same amount of time as a bar of soap).

MY method is also easy, and because it's soap, there's pretty much no clean up, just bits of soap, no toothpicks to throw away either.

You don't have to disassemble it that much, I just did because it was easier that way. It reassembled just fine.

I missed out on preordering Zangetsu, and I have a feeling that BigBadToyStore (Where I have my Gaim and Baron preorders) won't be stocking him, what options would people suggest? Or is it just a case of waiting until his release and hoping to find him in the wild?

Also, considering my first Kyoryu Red broke on first contact with him, I'm going to be shock oiling his replacement pretty much out of the box, there's just something about doing it with soap shavings that makes me feel uncomfortable.

Well BBTS shipped my Figuarts Delta yesterday and it'll arrive at my house at the end of Monday so thankfully the sun won't be down before it arrives cause end of the day has never meant during or after sunset for my orders whenever I have UPS Ground as the shipping option :lol

Agreed. On the site, they're going for $100 for the girls, and $125 for Red.

Btw, awesome signature!:cool: The level of creativity and available tools you guys have astounds.

And hey, what ever happened to the Combatman multipacks?

They were Tamashii Web Exclusives last month. And they were the black shirt only versions of the Combatmen, not the later and more common whit rib cage types we're all so used to. But they did come out. Still need a 3-pack myself.

My poor battered wallet could only squeak enough for the single pack, which is just enough to frustrate. I look forward to the inevitable gallery when you finally snag a 3-pack.
