Yeah, maybe that's why they are in stock a bit longer. I just found out myself when I was checking the site because of the bday rewards points thing. I normally use HLJ, and I'm trying biginjapan for the first time. So I just kind of bounce around seeing who has what and what the prices are.

Well just put in a preorder for 3 KyoryuReds (one for me, and 2 other people )

And while I was at it placed an order for the other SHF on preorder Ive been lookin at

Yes sir. Although as of late, if you don't get in on a pre-order, you're out of luck. Looks like they don't keep too much extra stock for sale after release. Although with CDJapan, you have to pay upfront.

I bought my D-Arts Charizard from there. Scored one of the last 2 pre-orders they had. I've got Blastoise on the way from them too.

And when he was on sale I bought Red Buster. 700 yen. About $13 after shipping.

It took me til about 4AM but I got my Kyoryu Red!

Is £46 or $70 a good price Kamen Rider Ryuki figuart? This includes shipping and it is fullfilled by amazon so I could get it in a day or two.

Wow, that's crazy. I think AmiAmi still has him in stock. I had no trouble getting him from CDJapan this morning. In the future should I not be so nonchalant? I'd really hate to miss out on future Kyoryuger figures because I waited until morning to get a preorder in. I'm not used to importing figures, in the past I've only bought things like records from the UK.

Amiami can be a massive nightmare depending on how many new listings are going up. The site crashed on me just trying to log in for at least half an hour last night. On the flip side though, when orders went up for Dragon, Tyranno, Ryu, and the Akibarangers I had no trouble at all. There's no consistency to how their system works.

I see that's good to know, thank you Den-O. Is Amiami considered the best (or best priced) around? I don't mind paying when I make the preorder because at least I know the shipping cost before hand. I might use Amiami in the future though, I like their layout. Though there system sounds like dealing with Hasbrotoyshop, LOL.

It's probably dependent on load. Perhaps there wasn't as much demand for those figures, or there were other figures up for pre-order that we don't even know about, this time, that contributed to a heavy load, slowing everything down.

Oh, that is definitely a deal killer. Unless I choose to do so, I will NOT pay for a product I cannot physically own right then and there, especially in another country. Like, I'm going to pay off my PS4 preorder to GS over the next several months because that is a big cost item and because I want to, not because I have to.

It does look like that CDJapan sells the web exclusives though, so I guess that is a positive.
