Everything else you wrote though, totally on board and 100% agree. You can count the number of second-run TWEs on one hand (not counting event exclusives), so doing this for King Form is a clear sign that Bandai's ready to milk collectors dry.

In terms of Figuarts, what would be the chances for Chalice and Leangle to be mass releases?

Anyway, the only middle man I know is Yokatta. Is there a better option or should I stick with that?

Also be aware that ordering items from multiples locations will mean they are shipped separately. Each Mandarake store front (Nakano, Shibuya, Umeda, Akihabara, etc etc) is located in those areas so they can't combine items from different locations. And any order under 5000 yen pre-shipping fees will have a 500 yen handling fee added.
