Even if they go out of stock in the next few minutes, they will probably go back up later today or tomorrow or next week.

Birth https://tokullectibles.com/products/...f244edf7&_ss=r

Riderman https://tokullectibles.com/products/...6f7931f0&_ss=r

Buffa (out of stock for now) https://tokullectibles.com/products/...f26ed795&_ss=r


Extra Edit:

Don?t only rely on their twitter account for new figure notifications. Oftentimes stuff will be up on the site for quite a while before they tweet. I saved a tab on my phone with ?rider figuarts? as a search on their site and I just check that to see if new stuff pops up.


Ps to Edit: Thanks Kurona for posting the pictures and the news about these figures. I really apppreciate the effort that goes in to the thread.

Thanks. Forgot to follow up here when they went up, but I did manage to order them.

I've been burned in the past by relying on their Twitter a few times. They NEVER post exclusive Riders going up anymore for some reason. I did the same thing and had a few searches up for "Buffa" and "Birth". And of course they went up during my commute to work like I've also come to expect, but was very glad to see them still around when I got in.

Just out of curiosity, with Yen being so weak against dollars, what is the incentive to order from tokullectibles? Especially when there is no after-sale service, no matter where you order.

If you just buy one figure, the amount is almost the same when you factor in shipping from a Japanese site.

If you buy multiple, and they are released the same month, you loose out on bundled shipping and the extra costs start to add up

So I do not see the incentive either haha

In my head, I think, “well if I ever have a customer service issue, I’d rather talk to the American company.”

I have not had one, thankfully, but I’m an anxious person anyway.

[Henshinmorph917]

I can vouch for having issues resolved when using Hobby-Genki in regards to the status of my orders. I think that since we have more people importing items now that a lot of companies take their Customer Service serious...I'm not saying every website is that way and to be wary of who and where you buy from even from American websites or sellers

[Shin Henshin]

I mean it's just ease, especially when it comes to exclusives. Yeah, I'm paying what is essentially the figure's base price and shipping rolled into one, but I also get the option to put down a deposit on-top of that. Not all places offer no-money or partial-payment preorders, so financially it's easier for me to work with as opposed to dropping $300+ in one shot on 3 preorders.

I've had nothing but good experience with them, I've gotten immediate responses with questions and even help keeping track of orders. They ship fast, as well. So I'll support where I can. I have my thoughts on some of their pricing, as in terms of things like DX or roleplay toys their upcharges get ridiculous, but so far their Figuarts prices have been reasonable for the most part. They're a business, so they gotta make a profit.

I also just like using that store. Like... Don't really need to question that.

A vast, vast majority of my orders come from Japan. But I like support Tokullectibles when I can and p Bandai Riders are an easy one to do that with.
