EDIT: The more I contemplate it, the less I want to even worry about the secondary Ultras and just focus on the old school guys who actually carried shows. So I will continue to sweat Ultraseven and Ace, and have my eyes peeled for 80, Powered, and Great if they are ever released, but I can't go nuts over foks like Zoffy and Father. It's not worth the stress!

That sucks about missing Zoffy. Were you stalking AmiAmi and the other Asian retailers late last night? Zoffy sold out in AmiAmi in less than 10 minutes, I think?

That's cool about getting Jack though!

Yeah, I was trying both it and HLJ and missed them both. D'oh!

But it's alright, like I said, not going to go crazy over it for a secondary Ultra, even Zoffy. I'l get his vinyl instead and put him in the lineup that way, heh.

I am excited for Jack, as well. Been playing as him in Taiketsu! Ultra Hero, heh!

zoffy sold out in 1 second. I'm not kidding (thank god I was able to secure one from the 1st release). As soon as the tamashii items went live, the site pretty much crashed. Rider1 sold out..shocker sold out...Luckily Rider 1 is still available at hlj and hobbysearch last time I checked.

I preordered a Robot Damashii Gundam and a Pre-Cure figuarts for my fiance.

That is insane. Absolutely insane!

Glad you have a Zoffy and that you got some of the stuff you were looking for, at least! You did much better than me,

It was actually kind of funny how slowly and hesitantly I went through the process of adding Zoffy to my cart and checked out, because I wasn't sure I really felt like preordering anything from Japan after FINALLY paying off my last preorder (Mewtwo) a bit earlier. Of course, once I did finish, Zoffy had not only sold out at AmiAmi, but also HLJ, and by all accounts disappeared nearly as quickly as Hobby Search later that morning. Suckering myself into one last preorder probably paid off.

I am glad you got a Zoffy as well.

I saw on BBTS this morning that they have a preorder up for Father Of Ultra. Are they really going to get him, or is this a situation like my Figuarts of Kamen Rider Ichigo and Kamen Rider Black RX where the preorder holds for a few months and then is summarily cancelled?

I'll let you know if/when I receive the Ultraman Jack I pre-ordered from BBTS

Can anyone with the Ultraact Gridman let me know how their wrists are? My first one sheared his wrist peg with only slight pressure.
I'm wanting to switch hands on the replacement I got, but I'm worried.
Thanks for any tips
