I just hope they don't decide to split the DaiRanger hand cannon between both Ryuu and Kiba.

Why wouldn't they? They both make one half of it each.

Because KibaRanger is a web exclusive, and as such, there is no way I would be able to get it, as him being a web exclusive means he will be three times as much as what Bluefin will have him for. And the AkibaRanger weapon piece is not worth that much more.

Goodbye my money you will be missed, not really but this will be expensive year.

You're really exaggerating prices here dude. He won't be a $100+ or something. Retail on a figure like like that will probably be around 4000 yen. Something being exclusive doesn't triple it's price automatically. And there are TONS of Exclusive Middlemen out there who charge very fair prices. This won't be a hard or exorbitantly expensive figure to get.

D-Arts Bass and Treble:

Blue fin price:

43.99 VS Yokatta Order's 5900 yen.

Boukenger Two Pack:

Blue Fin price: 74.99 VS Yokatta's 7500 yen VS Okinawamtoyseller's 7400 yen

Figuarts Zero Goku:

Blue fin 33.99 VS Yokatta's 4100 yen VS Okinawamtoyseller's 4000 yen

Soooo yeah, I'm not seeing where you're pulling your numbers from dude. Bluefin's prices look comparable to a middleman's and sometimes even better. And even if stores mark these up when they get them in hand, you're still saving money by not going through a Japanese middleman service or BBTS to get these...Wherever you're getting these figures from, for the crazy prices you're describing, it's the fault of the store's owner for charging so much and NOT Bluefin.

My numbers were an exaggeration. -_- I was using it as an example. Still, why would I want to pay $40, plus shipping from Japan, plus middle man fees, plus shipping to me, when I can pay $40 on Amazon shipped? I save myself about $30-40 and miss out on a small part.

My point still stands though, Bluefin VS Middleman(And even VS the original price it went for on Tamashi Web Shop)…there's really not much of a difference, or an exaggeration.

Exactly. And there's the added bonus of not waiting an additional 2 months just for Bluefin to get stock.
