No secret at all. Never not shared it. Don't know where that's coming from. I split my orders for retail releases between my job & amiami, and for exclusives I hold out on some things I don't desperately need right now for Nippon Yassan & Jungle. For everything else I want to get monthly I use Sentai Tamashii. He used to run his middleman services openly on the boards but had too many people trying to back out of orders when the payment came due so he only does it for his good customers now. But I pay fees and shipping to him just like any middleman service. No one gets it for free.

The original Rising Mighty Kuuga was a con exclusive. Not just that, but a con exclusive which is now renowned for having paint that will almost completely fade over time.

So from Bandai's point of view and probably a lot of Kuuga collectors, this figure being retail is probably a HUGE deal.

Pretty much. This is Bandai's grand apology for the original and very expensive at the time figure, turning out to be a total lemon.
