It's actually rather consistent, especially of late. The Akibarangers and other Sentai Figuarts specifically went up at a different time, same as they did last year, because it was done to kinda coincide with the new season starting. Whereas most Tamashii preorders all go up one the same single day every month, which leads to toku fans competing with the even more rabid One Piece, Saint Seiya, and Macross fandoms, destroying AmiAmi's server. Kyoryu Red may have sold out initially, but like all other retail Sentai Figuarts he shouldn't be difficult to pick up for some time, hence you were able to pick him up during the 4am restock and you can still get him even now.

AmiAmi was for a while the price to beat among the Japanese stores that sold internationally. They still have great discounts these days, but for some figures Hobby Search is an even better deal. There, Kyoryu Red costs only 2450 yen compared to AmiAmi's 2670.
