What's the best way to get them? Do individual figures show up on Mandarake pretty easily after release or should I be going with full cases/sets from HLJ/AmiAmi/wherever?

If you think for the future wave to go all out and buy everything : full case (or set when they exist) is the best. I would advise to look for the sodo blog update every sunday to see what is in a set and pre order only when you are sure that you really want them (I now only preorder the first set when it appears and wait to see what is in the other before ordering, especially at the end of the show)
If you want only some (or at least choose what figure really interest you), you can either wait some time to see what is available (mandarake or yahoo auction via a middleman). Beware as even if it sound cheaper it usually cost more than the normal price.
Other problem with mandarake is that when you look you should be aware that there is several shop and they each send indivudual parcels, so look for buying from the same store if you see things interesting you.
