Mind blown.jpg. At least they didn't jump the gun this time.

I wanna know what middleman they're using for web exclusives b ecause it seems like they must charge them an arm and a leg.

So I got Wizard today from Amazon.

First of all, they sent him in a 9x9x18 box! Thank goodness I wasn't paying by box size.

Second... he did NOT include the first run bonus. >_<

Edit: Contacted Bluefin on Facebook; was told to contact customer service. It should've been included.
Editedit: But I was told to include a picture of the box with the Bluefin sticker alongside an invoice. But the Bluefin sticker is on the bottom of the box, so how would they know...

Mine came in an adequately sized box. I did not get the strike wizard robe either.

I'm wondering if Amazon does actually listen to the packaging reviews, seeing as my last few have been how the "boxes" were too small. I guess they fixed that this time? :P

How would they know what? I don't know what the question is.

Bluefin asks you for the sticker to verify that it's one of their distributed Figuarts and not one from Bandai Japan, since they can't provide customer service to Japanese releases.

Ok, it must've happened when he fell over while I was trying to pose him, but Wizard's antennae are apparently very fragile. After I got him in a nice pose I noticed something off about them, the points were broken off. I recovered one of them, which was surprising since it's so incredibly tiny. I've fixed that one, but the other piece is probably 1/3 the size of the one I fixed, so I'll probably just deal with that one being broken. It's an extremely minor detail though, so for display purposes, it's barely noticeable.

I swear, if I have to jump through hoops to get my first release bonus I am gonna be beyond pissed. I'm already likely to not make any future purchases from Bluefin...at least not preorders, this would just seal the deal for me.

Also, I really really want the Ryuki Figuart, but I am on a "no more figures" deal after Wizard T_T

I have a feeling this is an Amazon goof up, which really sucks as so many of us have been waiting/still are (even though it's in stock mine hasn't shipped yet) and now we won't get the bonus part. I really hope Bluefin and/or Amazon will set things right.

Also, does anyone know why Amazon does pre-order price guarantee for books and dvds but not toys? I know it's only a few dollars but I feel screwed over that when they get Figuarts in they always drop the price a little but I still get charged full.
