Really? Chou Dead Heat before Kamen Rider Chaser?

EH. Makes sense. All they had to do was remold the head, repaint the body, and add a Mach Driver.

Kind of makes me realize Chou Deadheat is sort of a fusion of all three riders... Hmmm.

$54.99. I think the price you're remember is for Gaim Orange Arms, which was also reissued.

Still, it's not a terrible US price for one of the best Gaim Figuarts.

Bah, seems someone else got to that Pine/Mango set before me. Out of stock after all. Oh well, need to stop spending so much money on figures anyway.

There's a Gaim Pine/Baron Manga set on Jungle for 7020 yen (listed as sealed too), for what it's worth.

Hmm.. got an email from Nippon-yasan to pay for my November and December TWE orders by August 14th. Seems the pay later option is going away for them. Probably been known but I completely missed it if so.

Really making me want to somehow find another place because that payment option was a huge draw for me.

I haven't gotten a notification like that yet, but its really going to suck if that is their new policy. It doesn't seem fair for them to do that when you already made the preorder under their original terms and then they changed it without notice.

So here's the skinny on Nippon Yassan.

Bandai of Japan has changed their policies regarding Tamashii Web & Premium Bandai order totals. What they're doing is requiring immediate payment when orders are placed ahead as usual, but only when the order exceeds 300,000 yen total. So for small time middlemen like mine that isn't an issue as he probably doesn't even meet half that total most months. But Nippon Yassan is a worldwide international service. So their monthly orders are in great excesses of that. So they now have to require people pay for the orders plaved through them because Bandai is requiring them to pay for those orders.

So this isn't NY's fault, it's not even within their control. And just about any site that uses the pay later function and carries exclusive Tamashii or Premium products will most likely have to start doing the same thing as a result. Though I'm not aware of anyone else being affected yet, it pretty much is assured based on the 300,000 yen threshold.

*Sigh* Well, it was fun while it lasted

Just as well I was planning to massively scale back on my purchasing in 2016.

I'm sorry, I missed part of the conversation some where. From what I am reading per this post, you have to pay for web orders when you place your order and not just before they arrive, am I correct?
