Missed out on Hibiki so I'll just hope that Bluefin releases him.

To back up Thessair, CDJapan is fantastic, if they've still got preorders up you should go with them, I managed to bag myself a Kabuto renewal which I preordered like three days before it's release date, it's a site that often goes overlooked so I go there to look for stuff I missed.

You actually don't have to pay up front for CDJapan if you use a credit card or debit card instead of paypal. They just need to authorize one so they can charge you when it ships. I learned that the hard way as well as the fact you can't use Frequent shopper points when you use pay pall XP

I love CDJapan thought, I've used it for years to buy CDs and concert Dvds and I have found the perfect way to manage my points so I can get around 500-800 yen/points off every purchase and make that same amount of points back on the same purchase. So I don't have to pay a whole lot more than Amiami.

I am looking for a kyoryu black and pink right now. I know I have to wait until after the release since the preorders have stopped.

Hrm. They must have changed their policy at some point, then. When I first started ordering from them, back in the days prior to PayPal, they billed my credit card for pre-orders. I'm glad they offer that as an option now, though. They do let you use points for PayPal purchases now, too. I used the last tiny bit of my remaining points when I ordered Hibiki this morning.

I think it's been like that for credit cards for three to four years now, they must of changed the paypal thing recently though. At first you could pay with points with paypal but when they added the paypal option at check out it took you straight to the paypal website so you didn't have the option to use your points. Though I guess if you used paypal on the regular cheekout page then points will still be an option.

I still will probably never use paypal with them though as the ability to add items to prexisting orders and to combine orders until they reach the processing stage is way too useful to give up.

Bluefin mention that they can as long as there's no pending license proposal or offer awaiting action. I don't know what happen with Gaim, but Hibiki should be okay.

Gaim's pretty much been caught in offer-awaiting-action limbo. So until Bluefin get a clear answer on whether they can distribute the Figuarts here or not, their hands are tied.

Pretty sure the past Heisei and Showa riders all fall under the same license, which is why releases of Riders from past series don't have to deal with that. Since Gaim is the newest, there are extra hoops.

I am hoping for a Tetsuo figuart

Gonna go with CDJapan, will have to pay for it with Paypal, honestly, this'll just be like when I pre-ordered Ryu Ranger's figuart from N-Y on May of last year :lol.
