    You know what's funny about that? A metal Build went up last week and it sold out within 2 minutes on amiami and by some miracle I was able to get a pre-order in but last night the marvel shf's sold out around 10-15 minutes and I couldn't make it past the login screen. Feelsverybadman

    So are there any retailers with Iron Man and Rescue anymore, or are they just gone forever now?

    NY marks them as sold out, increases the price, sells them, rince and repeat. I bought rescue for 5900 last I checked it was heading towards 8000. Crooks!

    Fuck. That’s unfair. They know people don’t have a choice at that point

    Alright, well I got Mark 85 final battle version from NY for $82 plus $16 shipping, so nearly $100. Sucks, but I like this version with the weathering and Tony head. If they do a third version of him later with the infinity stones and burned face, then I guess I’m SOL and wasted money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Think I’m gonna pass on Captain America. Although I like the unmasked head, he’s a little thin looking and ML Worthy Cap is still better overall. But if I can get him, maybe I will.

    Captain Marvel I’ll get soon hopefully.

    Rescue looks very nice, but the only reason I really want it is for the Pepper head. The figure itself doesn’t seem different enough from the ML one to justify the now inflated prices. Idk, I’ll see


    Mandalorian I don’t even want now
    now that he’s got a new look. I’ll wait for that version, either from SHF or Black Series

    I missed out on all the Marvel preorders. Hopefully Bluefin will be importing them and they're available in good numbers on US sites, for decent prices.

    I can't believe how hard the Marvel shFiguarts have been to get since Infinity War/Endgame. I never believe that "because scalpers" is the answer, as that's usually the easiest go-to, and many times, easiest to debunk. I'm guessing a bigger collector's market in China/Asia probably has more to do with it, smaller production numbers, or some other unknown.

    Amazon Japan, but it's up to 1300 Yen.

    They definitely made Thanos in smaller numbers than usual.

    Yeah I had to get Mk85 from Okini Land. But I managed to get Rescue (pre-scalp) from NY. I was falling sleep when Mk85 went up, but tried to stay up through the process only to get cart jacked at NY.

    Meh, I already invested in the Carbonized, First edition, and regular version of the Mando. Might as well get the SHF too :lol  Who knows how long it will be before Bandai makes an "updated" version.

    I'm hoping they give up on trying to get $70 for the 3-pack so I can use that head.

    Dude I tried so hard to stay awake last night, I made it until ~ 1:15, but I think the music I was listening to in bed got me haha. Laying in bed probably didn’t help me either. I’m glad I got Iron Man though, I hope my copy is good. Don’t know if I’ll open it or keep it MISB yet; and if I do open it, idk if I’ll sell the first 85 or not, because I like the clean look too.

    That’s good you got Rescue. She looks really nice, I’m just not 100% there yet.

    Mando I understand your view (from a certain point :D ) but I’m good with waiting. We KNOW that version is coming, it’s too easy of a money-maker not to be. Now whether Bandai gets to it before Hasbro is anyone’s guess. I’m betting Hasbro will do it first, and potentially better. I REEEALLY like the Black Series Mando, so it’d be a straightforward remold. The only thing I’d change besides the cape material is the design of the ankles; it should be more akin to the SHF’s ankles.

    But yes, I want both companies’ versions too, except in my case I want it for
    full beskar look


    I just wish the head sat lower to look more natural. It surprises me that no third party has made a Pepper head yet. If they did that head plus a weapon set like Takara Tony’s IM sets, I wouldn’t really need the SHF

    While it sucks, I find it funny that people call a shop who is offering one of the lowest preorder prices crooks when they identify increased demand and increase their prices accordingly. While I agree our entire monetary system is criminal, it just seems ironic to call out one company that is actually initially giving people the best price.

    Anyways, I got my Mandalorian with ease at NY and will cancel my earlier order with AJ since NY is cheaper. I’m so glad I have no interest in MCU figures and if I do, the most tempting out of the recent batch is the easy to get Captain Marvel TWE.

    I don't usually post for stuff like this, but I bought SHF Piccolo Daimao for 60 shipped. It's still available on eBay and it's from USA Gundam store, who I've bought from on several occasions.

    Great price and the figure is totally worth full price anyway. I actually like it more than I thought I would, and am considering a second to customize.

    Still, I gotta pick up Nebula and Hawkeye, also Scarlett Witch. I'm pissed about the Iron Spider 2.0, but I'm getting it for the Peter head sculpt. Also, why no War Machine with head sculpt? Never thought we'd get Pepper before Mr Cheadle, especially being that he's one of the longer standing MCU actors at this point.

    Did you just buy it today or did it arrive? I've seen their price and it feels a little too good to be true tbh. Especially with the mixed feedback I've seen about the store.

    So I noticed the Figuarts is finally going to do Palpatine. What is the price on him? I couldn't seem to find one, but given he has a chair and 2 guardsman that is going to be a pretty expensive set.

    It looks like there may be some articulation in the arms.

    Which is why I could have done without their release as part of the set. Maybe a separate release under the SHF Zero line for those that want them to go with Palps but as it stands right now there's no way I'm going to be able to get Palpatine anytime soon at $200. Shit I still haven't had the funds to get Mezco One:12 Darkseid and he's $20 less. Very annoying but nothing to do about it.
