It's from a third-party seller, though, not Amazon itself. Still, I didn't think it would take this long either...

Having more fun with GokaiPink-

Gokai Pink: My herooo!!!

I love that Gokai Silver is just being there. :lol

He's the third wheel in the friendzone.

If the prices lower in between the time you placed the pre order and them receiving the item, they usually charge you the lower price. It should also show the lower price on your pre order page. If the price lowers not too long after they have charged you, give customer service a ring a ding and see what they can do. Amazon can be lenient when it comes to this sort of thing.

HLJ has a bunch of Bandai stuff On Sale right now, including a bunch of Figuarts. I picked up Boukenred for 1470 yen.

What was the shipping price if you don't mind me asking?

Uhh, I think their standard shipping "cheap" rate was like 680 yen or something. I am not sure because I am sending it to my "Private Warehouse" (like BBTS' Pile Of Loot) so shipping will be calculated when I put together my shipment.

Their shipping for SAL is around 780 yen, around 1200 for EMS. I just ordered Red Buster and Deka Red for 1470 a piece! :D

On a completey almost-unrelated note, I have 12 erections for the MMPR/Zyuranger Figuarts. Just preordered mine!

If you add a figure to your cart on HLJ it will give you a shipping quote for multiple shipping companies.

:lol

*bangs head on desk*

So I've been obsessively checking my email for a while, both because I am waiting on something from the school I applied at and for any kind of update on my Amazon.com order for Wizard.

So imagine how ecstatic I was to see an email from Amazon that was actually about my order and not just another sale advertisement.

...and then I actually read the email.

So basically no new information, except for a very very specific word they used that I just do not like seeing at all. DELAY. Uh...pardon? It's already bad enough that I am waiting longer for this than I expected, that is made worse by the fact that there are already figures available not just on Amazon but on multiple other places for as much if not less than what I paid on Amazon, but now the first email update I get since I placed the order mentions it is delayed?

I am not a happy customer Amazon.

These emails are old hat when it comes to Amazon and its handling of Bluefin preorders. It technically means absolutely nothing and should be ignored. It's the result of Amazon's system not being keen on open preorders months in advance for items without a specific release date.

Ah, ok.

My first time preordering on Amazon. Also my first time preordering a Figuart. Was getting kinda antsy.

I got so many of those about jet wing prime...he showed up still lol

lol @ that email.

After you have a BD that you preordered on Oct 7, 2011 that has yet to have a release date, and you get at least one email a month on it, let me know.

So I think my new photo set up is good, even though I took it with my iPhone ^_^

I Know I'm late to the party, but I'm SEVERELY dissapointed that Red Buster can't properly do his rolecall pose.

That's why I waited to get him when he was on sale for $13 :lol

Makeshift light box, I approve.

Picked up Bouken Red, Red Hawk, Red Buster and Wizard Flame style. Haven't messed with Flame Style yet but maaaaaaan Flame style is GOREGOUS! That sheen on his helmet just doesn't show up well on the photos I've seen.

I opened Red Buster first and…I'm of two minds of him. I think I'm okay with the price I paid for him but maaaaan…he is one awkward figuarts. negatives out of the way first, it's almost criminal that it's so difficult to get him into his signature poses it's a huge let down that he can't pull off his role call pose, and even more so that he can't even do his Busters Ready Go poses without some fiddling…although I think the sculpt is dead on. I don't even mind that the joints are painted black.

But Bouken Red and Red hawk quickly overshadow Red Buster. These figures are just brilliant! Red Hawk is just about the best Sentai figure they've made in my opinion.

So does anyone know what the crane type pieces are for that come with the Tamashii stages? I cannot figure out what they do because they cannot hold up anything.

See, after hearing all about that, I don't think I'll ever get Red Buster :lol. Unless they release Beet Buster and Stag Buster and Beet J Stag, then I may feel compelled to get the rest of the Go-Busters.

Until then, I'm just aiming for the OOO Combos, the Greeed, the Gokaigers, Tyranno and Dragon Ranger and the Akibarangers and...damn it, I've fallen into the rabbit hole :lol. I need a job.

I hear ya.

He can't even do his Busters Ready Go! pose!

It just boggles my mind what Bandai was thinking…the same year we got freakin Red Hawk they released Red Buster…I'm starting to understand why he's going for slash and burn clearance at a lot of places.

Like I said earlier…I don't outright hate the figure. He's just frustrating when I try to think or fiddle with him LOL

I really annoys me that Bandai half assed the Go-Buster Figuarts :/.

I love Red Buster's Figuart, but I only paid $11 for it from HLJ a few months ago. As for his pose, I did not know he couldn't, as I don't even know what his pose is anymore.

Meh, half assed figures for a half assed show.

I wonder how much that has to do with how badly Gobusters performed TV show wise…it seemed like not many people paid attention to it's release.

I worry how the Kyorugers are gonna turn out now, because it looks like Kyoruger's fairing worse then Gobusters did...

:lol Nice! I couldn't have said it better myself! I know damn well Bandai's not getting my money for Gobusters. It's perhaps quarter assed for the failure to do the one pose everyone pictures Red Buster doing.

Honestly, those ratings might not be accurate. One guy on another board said that Japan's ratings do not account for DVR recordings. While I can't say the same about Japan, I don't know a single person that watches a show when it actually airs.

Not counting for DVRs would make it wildly inaccurate, but that would explain a lot of things. Do you know any other reasons for the ratings decline? Please share your insights in this thread.

Question for those of you that have SHF Wizard…is the Wizard Driver on yours loose as hell or is it just mine?

Searching through Mandarake for the first time, I noticed something wierd.
We got New Den-O Vega before Axe Form. Crazy Figuarts!!

I don't have one but a lot of the reviews I have seen on it it is loose as hell on all of them

No , it's everyone's driver so don't feel bad. Does the right leg on yours stay on? Cause mine sure doesn't...

Nope! Just the driver that's a pain in the ass.

Yeah the driver is a pain on mine too. Other than that though I'm beginning to feel like I lucked out because mine is perfect.

Yeah I'm impressed that his coat doesn't hinder articulation. Smart move on Bandai's part to make it a flexible material rather then solid plastic.

Really Really Really want Kyoryuger SHF's

If i don't get the other 4 Zyurangers i will be sad. If i don't get them on top of not getting the Kyoryugers i won't have much reason to keep collecting these.
