For the main characters, yeah. Also, I highly doubt Banana Gaim is happening, it didn't even get a prototype/mock-up at the Tamashii Nations show last fall.

Which makes me a sad Tali, since it's one of, if not outright, my favorite designs in function and aesthetics.

He's held around 12k for a while now. Knight however seems to be slowly coming down to 9k and lower.

Next day? He was gone in an hour.

I paid $85 for Gai, and thought it was a steal, cuz at the time the exchange was around right around 100=$1. And even at $85, Gai isn't really worth that, he's a far less necessary character than Shin Zangetsu, he's got far fewer accessories, and less paint apps (by way of design).

Hence why, when I eventually commit to completing my Advent Riders, I'll consider the Figma a completely acceptable substitute for Gai. The only real advantages the Figuart has is the parts modularity with the rest of the Ryuki cast, and individual cards, namely the Confine Vent.
