FYI for anyone still using Nippon Yasan, if you haven't already, you'll likely be receiving a notice that payment for March's webshop exclusives is due before the 23rd, instead of December. TN scheduled the order deadline for March's stuff four months ahead, instead of the usual three, so that's affecting NY. So if anyone has SSGSS Vegeta, Dragranzer or the Scouttrooper/Speeder Bike two-pack on order with them, if TN bumps up the deadline for April's stuff, you could be paying for those in December instead of January.
man, im thinking of picking up another Figuarts Luke to make a Saitama One Punch Man custom. The outfit basically just needs a cape
But it says "pay later" is available for Vegeta. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figure...per-saiyan-god-ss-vegeta-limited-edition.html
my friend just came back from japan and he told me tamiashi nation in akihabara is displaying sh figuarts black lady... so after some google... OMG.. this better not be tamashii web exclusive...
That's because the pay period hasnt started for Blugeta, he comes out in April or May. They'll charge you a couple of months before then.
If Harley were on sale I would've bought her for sure, but I never liked the Injustice designs for Joker, Batman, or Superman so I didn't feel the need to mention Joker. He should've shown up through the link I posted though.
Yup. The confusing/annoying part is, if Tamashii Nations starts messing around with when the order deadline ends, we won't know if "pay later" will go away three or four months (or more/less) before its scheduled release.
Bought the red gloves/boots version of Kamen Rider 2. And in other bad news, I opened my Chibi Usa and to my frustration the neck was broken while she was in sealed package. Replacement is coming.
Just cracked open SHF AOU Thor last night. Pretty great figure. Looks even better with the Tamashii blue thunder/lightning effect parts when applied to Mjolnir (even the wife was impressed by him despite the fact that's she's a DC fangirl ). Just waiting on the dad-in-law to send along Captain Murica to complete the 4 Avengers members made thus far.
Damnit, why isn't Amazon selling her directly? Was she an exclusive or something? It seems like Amazon is slowly phasing out the Figuarts considering they cancelled Goku, is Bandai no longer importing through Bluefin anymore or is Bluefin just wanting more people to use their own site and give them the money directly so they can charge more?
It's been talked about ad nauseum on here, but no one is really sure what is going on between Amazon and Bluefin. Amazon keeps canceling orders for items stating that it won't arrive by the expected date, but for whatever reason they site the Japanese release date and not the Bluefin release which is always a month later. Bluefin claimed awhile back that they were going to check in with Amazon and see what was happening, but have basically been quite on the subject since. I also haven't heard of anyone who's preorders were cancelled getting them reinstated (which was a claim they originally made when they first said they were going to look into it), nor have I seen the preorders open back up for anything that was cancelled and I haven't seen any of the cancelled preorder products ever appear on their site (not direct from Amazon at least). In any case, between Amazon and Bluefin's issues and BBTS being generally overpriced lately I've pretty much just started buying from Japanese sites.
Yeah, Bluefin said a few week's back that Amazon will not be reinstating preorders and then gave a link to a list of other retailers that will be carrying their products. Sounds like Amazon and Bluefin had a falling out. But then, Amazon seems like it is being run by douchebags lately and Bluefin isn't exactly stellar recently either.
Sounds like a Wal-Mart Tactic. When Wal-Mart wanted their prices at wholesale for LEGO products they banned them from the shelves and discontinued orders until LEGO capitulated. Due to the sheer size of Wal-Mart it was a no brainer. Could Amazon have been trying to get a better deal at wholesale for the products being sold, considering the high prices of late of some of the products (IE the drastic increase of prices for Monster Arts and the like compared to what they were before.)
well, if you are really intrested, just get it directly from japan.. HLJ:- S.H.Figuarts Sakura Kinomoto -Tobira wo Akete amiami:- S.H. Figuarts - Sakura Kinomoto (Tobira wo Hirake)
