Recent Purchases November 2013 Edition
 

New month, new hauls...so let's see them people!

I'll go first, today's arrivals:

DX Datas Hyper
DX Seaick Brothers
DX Landick Brothers
DX Skyick Brothers
DX Chrono Changer
S.H. Figuarts Cheeda Nick

On the way:
S.H. Figuarts Sailor Mercury
S.H. Figuarts Pteraranger (when Nippon Yasan get off their asses and ship it)
Nendoroid AC: NL Isabelle
Nendoroid Sonic the Hedgehog
Transformers Masterpiece MP18 Streak

I'm loving Datas Hyper. I do not get the hate this guy gets, I remember over at CollectionDX that really irritating reviewer with the annoying rants, painfully unfunny jokes and amazingly overly long video reviews (you know the one) claiming that it "wasn't a real Sentai toy" for whatever reason because he can be a Dice-O machine. But he's great, he has electronics, he has three fun and easy forms and a cute face changing gimmick and he forms Hyper Gosei Great that looks awesome. Plus, I got him for $15 sealed. Hell Yes. I enjoy the Brother Headders too. ESPECIALLY Ptera Headder. That thing being Gosei Greats head is just creepy awesome on every level.
The Chrono Changer doesn't do much, but I got it for $20 Sealed and I'm collecting morphers and love Time Force (and probably Timeranger eventually) so it was a steal. Cheeda Nick is pretty cool, but I've yet to watch Go-Busters and he was mostly an order-filler and I got him for completion sakes.

But MAN Nippon Yasan just shipped my Figuarts Mercury but has had Ptera Ranger "In Preparation" for a week and the store lists her as "In Stock". I always recommend these guys, but they haven't answered any of my emails and I'm starting to get angry.

I'd send that Cheeda Nick back if I were you, that box was supposed to have a figure inside ;) :lol

lol! Yeah, I'd been playing with him and couldn't be bothered repacking him for the photo.

And Yay! FINALLY found a decent priced DX Abarenoh (5000Yen) on Mandarake! Been looking for him for ages! One of these days, I'll learn to save money...

I ordered it in October, but it came today. Baiser's La luna album.

We'll DVD today but the others was last month

I got a box o goodies from our friend and overlord, DenO.

Marvel Goodies - I SO dig the new Emma Frost, not crazy about the rest personally, so they'll probably only be in my collection for a short while.

my last Gundam kit until I finish everything I have, I SWEAR. Except for this one, I'm probably never going to build it. :D

a Gundam I don't have to build, yay!

some cool Sentai Figuarts in crappy Power Rangers packaging, cuz I'm not a box snob like DenO is.

one of the best Figuarts ever

Seriously, this guy is awesome. His big claw attaches to his wrist peg, but it's SO much easier than Ryuki/Ryuga/Tiger. I really digs him.

And then some awesome DC Statues

Thanks to Sentai Tamashii for Scissors and DenO for everything else!

My AmiAmi order arrived today. More pics later; still waiting for my HLJ package and another thing I picked up off of eBay:

I am on the look out for that Wolverine if you ever consider selling him.

great choice with Knight Survive there!

In the last days of ToysRUs's 20% off anything* sale, I just ordered a Legacy Megazord w/ free shipping. I'll probably leave it unopened until the Legacy Dragonzord comes out and decide if I want to keep or sell the Megazord.

IMO original >>>> Legacy Megazord but possibly Legacy >>>> original Dragonzord. And if they do produce a Legacy Titanus... hmmmm

November isn't off to a bad start!

Beast Hunters Deluxes were marked down to 10$ so I treated myself and got a Smokescreen. I also picked up an SD BB Legend Musha Gundam and Knight Gundam kits.

Musha was an impulse buy when I came up with the idea to turn him into Gaim right on the spot.

Ordered SHF Bouken Black and Blue on Wednesday, arrived today. Came from Japan. I was pretty frickin impressed

S.H. Figuarts Red Ranger/Tyranno Ranger came today from Den-O.

Thanks! He looked good in pics, and is even better in-hand. The blue really pops.

SRC GaoGaiGar Golden Destroyer Version (is roughly $60ish, $70ish with average shipping price added, really good for this?)
Go! Goradora, BeCool set and EZ G2 Megatron and Jet Vehicons (2)

Generations Orion Pax/Megatronus

(Plus I still have an Amazon package coming tomorrow with some Blu Rays I've been looking forward too...pretty damn nice way to start the month/weekend.)

I don't buy many transformers at all anymore, and after I got burned HARD by the Collectors Club a few years ago I certainly don't give them my money.

But damn I'm jelly of the Ultra Mammoth :(

I preordered SRC Genesic GaoGaigar...not technically a purchase, but still, it's a thing. I'm just waiting for Den-O Gun and Rod to come out so I can ship them.

Funny enough, I got burned by a TFW member for a couple of the TFCC figures, including Ultra Mammoth.

For somewhat similar reasons, I don't buy anything directly from the Collectors Club anymore either; I've purchased all six subscription service figures secondhand (either from BBTS or TFW members ditching theirs) and will do the same with TFSS 2.0.

I have Thrustinator on pre-order at BBTS. He's simply too glorious to pass up on. But I refuse to pay the ridiculous subscription prices on top of paying for the figures themselves. The TFCC went on my shit list after the SG Drift gun debacle.

Ultra Mammoth however is on my radar big time. Always loved that mold, always love creative reuses of molds, and that one is by far the best from the 1.0 subscription.

I was trying to save more but when I saw this at the right price I couldn't say no.

Finally completes my Abaranger shelf. :D

Gah!! You're the one! I went to order that just the other day on Mandarake and it was gone.

While not a toy…I did get myself an Airbrush and compressor to help make painting my model kits easier:

Still trying to get an oracle think tank deck.

So in addition to paying for my fairly massive AmiAmi order this morning, I went out after work and got these. Because I'm weak. And sales/coupons....

You really love Cars don't you lol?

Actually, I don't. The tuners just happen to be really cool. A lot of them are drifters and have Japanese-ish names and decos.

Like Kabuto, Suki, and Ichigo.

Haul from Comikaze 2013:

Latest Mandarake order, Elek's my favourite Fourze form, so pretty psyched about that :)

Does anyone know if Magnet's forearms come off like with other Fourze figuarts? Had a little play around with it out of the box but don't want to force it if I can help it.

If you can get a Mammoth for a good price for someone (I got mine for $116 shipped), it'll be worth it. I had a chance to fiddle around with mine yesterday and it looks great. The white is very sharp and I like how it contrasts against the G1 toy color blue they used. I didn't even realize the matrix would still be chromed too.

I still debate getting Flame Dragon. It's the only one of the Dragon forms for Wizard that appeals to me.

Anyways, not toy or toku-related, but yesterday these arrived courtesy of Amazon.

You will love the doc in the Austin DVD.

He's pretty sweet in my opinion. Mine just has really tight hands, so I'm only keeping him with his holding hands so he can dual wield WizarSwordGuns. I am glad he comes with his own Tamashii stage though, that's a real plus

I watched it last night and OH MY GOD YES that was awesome. The bits with the Rock were great, especially on WrestleMania XIX.

Oh cool, I didn't realize he came with his own stand.

Finally my first Gaim toys arrived :D

Those figures are super duper great. I am so gonna go completist on the Arms Change line xD

I brought SH Figuarts Kyoru Red from Cdjapan the other day for £6.67(roughly $10.75 before shipping. Shipping to the UK was a bit expensive, but I could not pass that up.

Another week passes, and mine still haven't moved from Japan :(

Hopefully my first Arms Change 01 and 02 will be here by the end of the week.

Two packages arrived today!!
