    I don't see the Ride Armors posted yet but some of the Acid Rain stuff looks like about $40-$50 less than BBTS before shipping.

    I’m curious to see if these show up on B25’s own shop. They tend to sell their Acid Rain stuff at more reasonable prices than other shops.

    That Beaver is currently $68 at their own shop without shipping so probably not that much savings if any over BBTS.

    Edit: Looks like that same figure (Beaver) is $47-$67 on Taobao without shipping so a little bit better from some sellers.

    So... there's still no sign of Houquet/Rook? Still hanging in plastic limbo... Dang, one would think someone would have covered it by now. Every time I see a post in here I'm hoping her Ride armor magically pops up for PO. LOL

    Yeah, I'm waiting too. Guessing they were delayed due to Covid-19. I finally got her Legioss but haven't taken it out of the box yet.

    I haven't seen it on Taobao yet but it looks like it might be better to buy this one domestic. Who else carries B2Five?

    It could be because it's officially licensed in North America and not being an imported product. I'm guessing that it's costing Japan retailers more to import and sell within their country.

    Looks like it is also branded as Robotech at BBTS and Mospeada at AmiAmi...

    Would be funny if the Harmony Gold license is cheaper than the Tatsunoko license.

    It's not really a delay, just AJ getting a more concrete release date from Sentinel. Previously, the release date was just "End of August". I've noticed Sentinel normally waits until about 2-3 weeks before release to give an actual day.

    The previous delivery estimate from AJ was literally only 1 day prior (9/2-9/5).
