lol this argument is so off-topic.
Anyway, $40 for Manga Ultarman seems like a really good deal. I'll probably pre-order it later.

Import Master Race.

Seriously, if you have Amazon Prime, it's just the easier way to go. Even if you have to wait a little longer for a figure to pop up.

We are still posting in relation to when we get figues and where we order from, so not really. :)

^ This is hilarious. I have been listening to YOU, CZ, and OTHERS, crowing about how quick you get your figures, for YEARS now. AI is NOT known for their speedy shipping. So, if this ain't a case of the Pot calling the Kettle, BLACK, than I don't know what IS!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Amazon is known for your speedy shipping, if you have Prime with the two day shipping. Been saying that for awhile now, you just can't comprehend it. I can order a figure Thursday and it's in my hands Saturday, that beats out AI by a longshot.

While AI MIGHT get the figure in stock sooner than Amazon, but there is still some other factors that I feel detract from AI. The biggested one being putting down money for a preorder. There are many who don't like the practice, I'm one of them.

And I import figures only if it's going to be cheaper. In the cases of some SHMAs, it's not.

But think what you want Manda. :)

I agree, Jean-Killer is a MUST have! I remembered the feeling of winning the auction on Ebay for "only" $75, i was so happy! And when it came in mail, i realized it's legs/Feet were dye-cast metal!! I was even happier. Good times good times! Purchasing Jean Killer also convenience me to finish the Ultimate Zero Force. :huge:
In the same boat :P I'm really thinking of getting Mirror Knight and Jean-Bot.

I'll keep an eye out. Your best best is to get one in a Used state. New/Sealeds always go for 100+. However, degine "Good price" :P I payed ~$85 shipped for mine. All in all, that's not bad.

Personally i had never used AI, but i have amazon prime and i can tell you that Amazon Prime is too good to be true, one time prime didn't deliver the package on the day it was delivered. I reported to Amazon, and they ship me another package. Then the next day, the package that i missed came. So .. i ended up receiving 2 package instead of 1.

Just a general question, is there a difference between the Ultra Act Gaia and Agul V2s and the originals?

Ultra-Act Gaia (Tamashii Exclusive), Ultra-Act Gaia V2, Ultra-Act Gaia (Supreme Tamashii Exclusive), Ultra-Act Agul (Tamashi Exclusive)& Ultra-Act Agul V2 all share the same body type 2.0. *With Ultra-Act Gaia (Supreme)'s arms being alter a bit to suit it's effect part/finishing move* So pretty much Only paint job, accessories and effect parts are different.

^ False. Agul V1 & V2 are actually different molds. Gaia V1 & V2 are the same mold, but different paint. Gaia Supreme is also a whole new, bulkier mold. Effects also vary with every single figure. I own all these figures, so I know what I talk about.

Bingo. I will wait a good month to buy a new release, especially an expensive one, before I go in and buy it. Why? Ask SHMA King Ghidorah and his stupid wings. Ask X-Plus Ghidorah and his wings... and all his issues. Hell, I even waited on Otachi.

I own all those figures too... They are the same mold.. Body Type 2.0, just because Supreme is bulkier doesn't mean it's not the same mold..
Every thing after Ultra-Act Astra (old Ver) uses the new Body Type 2.0.

Agul V2 is not the same body cast as Agul V1. Gaia Supreme is brand new body cast.

I know it's small, but here is a picture showing the size difference.

My apologize, i guess my definition of "molding" is different than your. To me as long as their body type 2.0, i am going to say their same molding. :|
