Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
Not to continue dragging it on, but what's up with BBTS and the Shin MKS? He's been on the market for quite a while now, and not a single word has come from them about shipping...?

@mechagigan Same here with my order of the MKS shin godzilla at HLJ. Cancelled it because sadly they were out of stock. Most probably bandai creations will rerelease this figure in the states and will be much cheaper by then. Ebay prices are overpriced right now.

The people selling it on fb are still reasonable priced and easily available for purchase

I might just try that. I'm annoyed though since my preorder on HLJ was a discount... had they been in stock I would've been paying less than the retail price, similar to the discount for their MMS preorders. Oh well.Godzillian wrote:The people selling it on fb are still reasonable priced and easily available for purchase

Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
We should totally have a thread to post like checklists of what figures we have left to buy in our collections..
Or would that just be something for the "Looking for this" thread?

Got an email back from BBTS - The short of it is, MKS is being released in waves... meaning, they have gotten a shipment in, but it wasn't enough to fulfill every single preorder made. So, it's just a matter of waiting for Bandai to ship out the next batch.

In the case of my HLJ preorder I'm simply going to keep it open. No harm in doing that. But in the meantime I'm going to get on the Facebook group to see if there are any good deals on there.

Re: Official Bandai (Japan) Thread 2.0
Makes sense, the boxes are pretty big and Bandai is probably trying to distribute stock to as many places as possible at once rather than filling all orders at once place leaving other shops waiting for anything.Mechagigan wrote:Got an email back from BBTS - The short of it is, MKS is being released in waves... meaning, they have gotten a shipment in, but it wasn't enough to fulfill every single preorder made.

But, same here. I've waited this long, at least it'll be a surprise when it does arrive.

Fun fact, if you throw an MMS Fire Rodan like a paper airplane with the legs folded to where he's standing straight up, he will actually glide for a little bit before nosediving.

Fun fact - to simulate Godzilla and MechaGodzilla's battles, fire bottle rockets at your G'74 figure! For added Kaiju action, spray bottles of red paint all over the toy.

Don't worry, I threw it onto my bed standing from a chair, he's fine.Creature22 wrote:B-b-but... the value!Grunkle Sans wrote:Fun fact, if you throw an MMS Fire Rodan like a paper airplane with the legs folded to where he's standing straight up, he will actually glide for a little bit before nosediving.
Yeah I'd never just throw a figure for my own amusement.
Except for BC Rainbow Mothras, I seem to have a surplus of those.
