Shipping isn't a problem since I got that Itasshar Robo on sale coming as well!

Yay! Another Itashar owner!!

hey guys, the wrist joint on my shinken red is kinda tight, will it break easily or is it just the new on it and loosen up later?

Wish I had the option to do that, but I bought an Amazon gift card and put the amount towards Wizard's pre-order, so I can't just get my money back to buy him elsewhere, plus at this point this is the only way to be sure I'll get the pre-order bonus strike wizard robe.

Getting really irritated though, don't think I am ever going to preorder something from Bluefin again because of this.

I don't think I will either.

And actually, at the rate this is taking, I'm getting VERY concerned that they didn't get their orders from the first run - hence the delay. Which would mean no bonus.

I would bitch up a storm if that ended up happening. That was the main reason I kept my preorder passed the first month since the Japanese release, seeing as I likely could have just cancelled it and got one off of one of the other sellers on Amazon at that time and gotten the bonus anyways, and likely for the same price or cheaper.

They'll definitely be hearing from me if I get that screwed over.

On another note, I'm getting a bit impatient on Amazon going to get Figuarts Wizard in also (I also used a gift card so I can't cancel, though I do want to support Bluefin whenever possible) It usually takes a month for Figuarts to make their way over here and it's been about a month and a half now.

And here I was thinking I'd have the damn thing in my hands before I got Wreck-it Ralph on bluray earlier this month, or at the very least before I get Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on the 24th, but I highly doubt it'll be in let alone shipped and at my door by the end of the week.

Went through this with the Godzilla and Mechagodzilla bonuses - there has to be a second run for a first-run bonus to disappear. That hasn't happened for Wizard Flame Style yet. In order for all the Bluefin orders or just the Amazon ones to be missing the effects, there would need to be a significant second run going on. So far, there's been no indication of that. General rule of thumb is that if you see a reissue, then you have your second run. Wizard's had no Japanese second run, no reason to expect missing effects until we hear otherwise.

Bluefin's timeline has never been strictly a month. I remember the Double reissue took forever too. They ship over a number of figures at a time, and if the release date on one is later than the rest, it pushes them all.

I hope they actually get back to you. They submitted my claim for my Black Beard having two right hands back in Dec and I have still yet to hear back from them.
