The ridiculous amount of hands, oh the wonderfully ridiculous amount of hands.

Yet none of them are capable of holding the foodroid

How's Nick? I have heard some people mention loose ankles, but I have no idea how serious is it.

Nice score on the Cheeda Nick! I'm torn at the moment between starting the Go-Busters line or taking the plunge on getting the Gokaigers.

Gokaigers. only two-three expensive ones to get (the main two being the girls, and Red is pricey depending on where you get him.) Only retail from Go-Busters is Red, the rest are exclusives, and theyre not even completely finished, at least you can get all 6 Gokaigers. For about the same price, if not cheaper than you would getting the core 3 GB and Buddyroids.

Thanks! I'm still stumbling through the dark with a lot of this so I appreciate the advice. I didn't realize that only Red Buster was a retail release. I think I will start my official Sentai collecting with the Gokaigers.

Glad to help.

And yea, plus (I dont own a Red Buster though) from what Ive heard, RB isnt able to do his signature pose or something? I dont remember. But word of warning, if you want the Darins for the Gokaigers, be sure they come with them. It is VERY hard to find just the Darins. (Yellow and Pink come with their Darins because they were web-exclusive, the other guys [minus Silver] all had Darins as first release bonuses.)

I found out about the Darins (including the fact they're even called Darins) in another thread this morning. That is what had me waffling on which series to go with. I'll have to trawl Mandarake for them, methinks. I appreciate the tips immensely. Thank goodness for people being helpful around here or I'd be paying full secondary prices for the wrong things. As for poor Red Buster, the quality control of the Figuarts seems a little spotty, or so it seems by reading around. I haven't gotten any of my regular SHF in yet to see for myself though, just the Power Dizer and Itasha Robo. Oh, that glorious SAL waiting game.

Oh yea, SAL is a double edged sword, on one hand, saves you money, the other hand, tests your pacientce. But if youre not able to find anything on mandarake, Id also check out this place- http://jungle-scs.co.jp/index_e.cgi

They are about the same as Mandarake and as cheap. Hope you get what you need!
