Ah, thank you for clearing up that discrepancy. I had always interpreted a "first-run bonus" as being limited to just initial stock of the figure. So truly a limited bonus. It does give me more hope that it'll still be included then.

And I know Bluefin released take longer, but no word on it at all has me becoming increasingly impatient..

Wizard's first run pre order bonus is kinda weak. IMO, it's really something they should've just included with the figure from the get-go.

I don't even like that coat piece. It doesn't look good on the figure at all. The included action-pose coat tails are much more versatile.

Another day goes by and still no word from Amazon on my order.

Not a happy Toku fan.

I've stopped caring. When it arrives I'll be pleasantly happy and surprised.

Telling you guys . . . switch to HLJ, use the Amazon credit for something else (in stock)

Nah, I'm good. I'd rather support Bluefin so they can keep getting them in. Plus, getting them through HLJ and the cost of shipping comes out more than what I can get them from Amazon for. Besides, this is the first time I have ever preordered a Figuart on Amazon, so I have no idea how it normally works.

My next preorders are Dragon and Tyranno Rangers.

Found a nice place called Just Figures that I can go to and order any SH Figuarts that Bluefin is distributing at the time and they'll order it and when it comes in hold it for me.Best part,only about 15 minutes from my house and on the east coast.lol

I just read on rangerboard about a tamashii web exclusive Boukenblue & Black 2 pack for Aug. I hope it's true. I know Den-O will be juiced about this!

ZeoRangerV · 03-21-2013, 09:43 AM

Makes sense that they'd start hitting up two packs. I'm glad its most likely the Boukengers up next since it gives me a little time to save!
