I don't know about that but I did just see the first v2 pop up on eBay for $95+$15 shipping, yeeesh!

Just an FYI, for anyone that missed out on Taro previously, he's available for order again on HLJ.

Basically, if there's any real demand for the figure at all, BBTS ain't gettin' 'em. I advise people to try something else, like Plamoya perhaps. (They seem to have great prices but I don't know how reputable they are.)

I do wish, since there's a good/likely chance BBTS will never get these in, that they'd put a disclaimer on these preorders they open up to let people know they may not get them in at all. Not everyone peruses message boards online or is aware of the licensing issues that get in the way of these releases being easily imported by retailers, so it'd be nice if they made that clear for the uninitiated.

Man, what is the deal with Taro? He's just super easy to get ahold of it seems. I still think that he was produced in very high numbers for whatever reason, between somewhat easy preordering and now availability once again.

Thanks for the info LB! Hopefully this means he will be In Stock soon!

Hopefully yeah there'll be enough that prices won't rise dramatically on the secondary market as they have with other (Showa) Ultras.

HLJ's listing has already gone back to Order Stop...perhaps it was just some people canceling orders that opened Taro back up again?

Here's hoping Ultraseven opens up again at some point, perhaps closer to the release date. (As I said, a friend of mine scored one on his own account for me, but I'd rather get my own order in on my account.)

Father of Ultra is BOSS. Love this figure.

[Gojira Prime]

^Very nice!

Haven't posted anything new in a bit, however with Father's Day fast approaching, this has arrived appropriately!



I'll try to post more pics out of the box soon.

Father of Ultra looks so cool, he's very tempting! I'll just content myself waiting for Taro and the Brother's Mantle...
