Slowly but we are getting closer to Geats IX... At least with TN exclusives out of the way, I don't have to worry about Jyamashin Buffa being an exclusive anymore, right?

All the info is on PB and thus geoblocked, but I assume they will sell some stock at the webshop after the fact, we'll see.

I hope so. Among all the newer figures trapped in prototype-purgatory, this is the one I want most.

No that one is a Jyamato Grand Prix exclusive. You gotta win to get included in the lottery sale.

Just an FYI, Hobby Genki put up last year’s Tamashii Nations event exclusives on December 11. Maybe HG will stock this year’s exclusives too. The exclusives did not go up on US pbandai; at least I never saw them.

Man, that summer formal wear Geats with the white dinner jacket and black pants is so classy. It’s kind of a shame that they are locking [FAIZ ACCEL FORM] form and that Blazar form as event exclusives.

They made Faiz Accel form an exclusive when the series itself has a small number of forms and Riders compared to other series?

I'd argue all of Faiz's forms are iconic enough to not need to be an exclusive

Because nothing says cost efficiency and show me the money all at the same time like Premium Bandai. I hate every single bit of it but I suppose they lose less money this way.

Making Blazar's' final form a TN exclusive is a really dirty move.

Yea, that is generally the trend for Tamashii Nations exclusives. Reeeeeeally hope that they'll have enough stock for P-Bandai, though, considering how absurdly popular Geats has been.

Blazar Firdran Armor being a TN exclusive sucks a lot. Like out of all the potential Ultramen they could've used, why use Blazar's only alternate form? One that's his final form at that?

Hopefully since Geats has been real popular over in America (enough that Tycoon Bujin Sword was sold out almost instantly), they might put Geats Boost MKIII on the P-Bandai US website, too. Gonna have some real harsh FOMO if they don't, and if he doesn't open up on any of the middlemen services I use (haven't looked into any other ones yet, since I'm not familiar with too many).

Wait, what? Now I don't follow Ultraman but seriously? A final form is a Tamashii Nations exclusive?

The thing is Bandai seems to be making more and more things exclusive save for the bare minimum like key characters in their default form. And I don't think this is just a figuarts thing.

The yen tanked over the summer and things are only getting more expensive to produce.

I really don't agree that this is the best or only option they have, but Bandai gonna Bandai.
