Well, to say this, as they have a new way of handling warehouse combined shipment, I have been waiting for two weeks after submitting a ticket to ship a few figuarts. I am not in a hurry for sure as I have decided to use the warehouse option to save on shipping but two weeks is still a long time. They specially said if I don't receive any update, it means it is still in the process. Anyway, have anyone used their new way of warehouse shipping and how long it takes for them to get the shipment out?

I'm at three weeks, myself. Sent them a request to get stuff sent out on July 20th, and still haven't gotten a request for shipping payment. And this is after having to badger them twice about an unfilled preorder, so... yeah, not a good few months with Hobby Genki.

Probably just them trying to get used to the new system and all, but yea, seems like they haven't been having too great a time with it.

I submit the ticket on July 19th so we are at the same boat. I think part of the reason of my complaint is the sudden rise of Yen which will cost me a few bucks more now.

I actually really like the warehouse shipping as they will give me many different options (Japan Post, UPS, DHL, Fedex, ....) to choose from so it is very flexible from them.

Moving to the new system is a good thing and easier way to track, so hopefully it is just a learning curve for them because of the start of a new way of warehouse shipping.

So it's progress, at least.

Wouldn't it be 4, not 3?
Valkyrie with Lightning Hornet and her Vcin final form
Jeanne getting the first televised final form
Na-Go with Fever and Fantasy, as underwhelming of a half suit it was
And now Majade with MoonCerberus and her final

Might have to do some rearranging to add Saber Draconic Knight and Calibur Jaaku and Jaou.

Looking very nice.

In my defense I've only barely been paying attention these days so I didn't know about Majade until this exact second.

Finally I have time to open some Ghost figuarts and they are quite good honestly. Never watched the show but is it so bad that only 6 SH figuarts were released?

The Ghost Figuarts' main limitation is the hindered waist and neck movement due to the parka, making it unsuited for dynamic poses. The only good Ghost Figuarts is Grateful, which doesn't have the parka.

That being said, I do love how Toucon Damashii looks on SHF and I might snag one in the future.

Tamashii Nations exclusives revealed. I don't need any of them, but Blazar kinda sucks, that one is important enough for a normal release IMO.



Ichigo & Pine Arms Change set is open for pre-order finally. Baron can use them too. They include a nod to a Gaim event happening on September 4th, if I had to guess maybe a first look at Seihou Melon Lord and / or the treacherous grape will happen?

Yup, show is trash, one of the worst ever.

Of course you should check it out regardless because you need to enjoy it and still can, even if a majority dislikes it.

But for me? Rock bottom together with Saber and Gotchard, just awful.

[solskjaer]

Will those Kamen rider exclusives be general release some time next time, just like previous exclusives?
