Does anyone have issues with the musou saber holster for sh figuarts gaim? The sword wont even fit in the holster and the holster actually came off of gaim and wont stay in :O_O: Did you guys figure out a quick fix for this?

Exclusives aren't any more expensive in Japan, only for us because of the need to use middlemen. No one there is thinking " darn, more exclusives!" and it doesn't account for the apparent lack of interest from US fans as well.

I'd been under the impression that they're sold at a higher price point. Is that not the case? Or is the cost increase relatively small for Japanese buyers?

If that's the case, then, yeah, that'd be a significant flaw in my argument. I'll admit I'm more than a little petulant about my growing realization that Bandai gave up on Sentai - both in Figuarts and Super Robot Chogokin - at roughly the same time I developed an interest in both.

On the upside, Kamen Rider seems to be doing fine, and my hope that they'll produce the (avoiding spoilers here) recently-announced arms for a particular central Gaim Rider is probably much more realistic than my Sentai-related hopes.

Which sword? Gaim comes with the Daidaimaru (IIRC - the orange-slice sword) and Musou Saber (the gunblade he shares with Zangetsu.) I spent a while trying to get the Daidaimaru into the holster before I realized that he doesn't come with a holster for it; the holster is only for the Musou Saber. The thing on his other hip is there to hold lock seeds.

Also, how are you fitting it in? It doesn't hold the blade; the part that locks into the holster is on the grip.

I haven't had the thing fall off. If I figure something out, I'll let you know.

Big retailers like Amiami always have discounts on things, whereas the Bandai Webshop sells things at full retail prices. That's the only difference. If you're in Japan and just buying them from regular stores as they're released, there's no price difference.

Gaim Pine Arms* and Baron Mango Arms set?

Kamen Rider Amazon plus Jungler set?

Welp, there goes my January money. Also, is that an alternate version of Amazon´s Dai Setsudan effects part?

*Note: Yes, i actually dig Pine arms.

Sigh, damn it! I don't want pine though. Just Baron mango. What to do..

 

[Amon]

I hear Bluefin said that they may not release B-Fighter Blue Beet due to not being a big market for them. I guess we show support on Facebook and Twitter, it can help. If they don't then I will pre-order him on CSToys.
