By stores do you mean Toys R Us and comic shops or other stores too like Target, Walmart etcUnCanny Studios wrote:I'm still excited for this series to hit shelves. We can expect them next month - and by new information gathered at the Toy Fair, I'd expect them to be hitting stores in no more than three or four months!
I'll pe picking up the translucent/glitter MechaGodzilla and Gigan for sure, as well as the Tokyo Vinyl Mecha G. I'm sure I'll end up getting all of the translucents at some point, as well as the two Godzilla TVs.

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
They're being released next month, but Bandai's Godzilla toys have a history of delays reaching other places. Up until Wave 6, around here, we had to wait a year to get the newest wave.Jomei wrote:So wait... are they being released next month... or in three to four months?

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
I don't really know. It seems to depend, even locally speaking. Out of the two Toys R Us stores we have here, the closer one was usually a year behind, and the other one, more out of the way seemed to have everything right after it came out. (Although they didn't seem to have MechaGodzilla ever, they did have Wave 5 first.)Jomei wrote:Other places? So where will they be available right away, and where can we reasonably expect delays?JVM wrote:They're being released next month, but Bandai's Godzilla toys have a history of delays reaching other places.

I say give it two months - time for the stuff to arrive, time for the shelves to clear a little in case.

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
The current Spacegodzilla/Gigan wave is still filling shelves at most TRU's around here. That said, it seems like its been a really good-selling wave. I see new cases come in for it all the time.
Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
Mine stocked SpaceGodzilla recently. I didn't pick him but it's nice to have a SpaceGodzillla figure in the Toys R Us.

My TRU has SpaceG, 04 Godzilla, GMK Godzilla, 04 Gigan, 12" Godzilla and 12" Gigan.
They had a 12" Kiryu, but I passed thinking It would be there for me to get next week. NOPE.

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
Mine is kinda lacking in Godzilla figures. Originally they had a lot, but now they just have FW Godzilla, Godzilla '54, and the huge Godzilla FW.
@ Zilla Yeah I said the same thing when they had Mechagodzilla '74. I regret not buying it >.<

Love them or hate them, the BC figures are the best thing to happen to young Goji fans. I had Trendmastes when I was a pup and these are waaaaay more film accurate.

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
Amen to that. Same thing could even be said for the IDW comics. Love or hate em they are helping to reguvenate the Godzilla franchise again.Cimmerian Dragon wrote:^ Oh god yes! I was thrilled to see several people with Godzys in their cart when I was in TRU around Christmas time. I think a lot of parents (or grandparents) may see these toys on the shelf, feel a twinge of nostalgia, and pick them up on impulse for a kid that may not even be aware of the franchise. Why buy Billy a cliched rubber dinosaur when you can get him Godzilla?
If even one kid sits down and watches a G-film thanks to the BC toyline, or if a kid that's already enjoyed the films gets his fandom strengthened by playing with the big guy, then it's a triumph for the fan community.
Glad to see people buying Godzilla for their kids for christmas!
The TRU in Indianapolis always has a good supply of BC Godzilla figures and always sell out of the big ones

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
It really depends on where you look some places have A TON of Gigans actually and no Godzillas or Kiryus. Gigan is definatly not "rare" it's just that a lot of people most likely picked it up right away in that location. Most places still have Godzillas because there was at least two Godzillas released with each new wave so most people already have a Godzilla not to mention that the 12 inch Godzilla has been re-released once that I know of along with Kiryu. I've actually NEVER seen the 12 inch Kiryu anywhere I've seen a lot of Gigans just never picked one up I don't have the space for a 12 incher right now. So Kiryu can sometimes be the harder one to find but none of these are rare at all they're all mass produced toys.JVM wrote:There's still lots of Kiryus to find.

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
Well, Gigan was only in two waves and Kiryu in three, so there are technically more Kiryus. I guess I just live in an unfortunate spot, because there are people who really just come into the stores on shipping dates here just to pick up the Gigans and re-sell them on eBay and Amazon marked up.

Im surprised no one asked them at Toy Fair if they plan on adding more monsters to their Godzilla line or what other plans they had in store.

Toys R Us's website is listing the SD figures as Urban Vinyl figures.

Re: New wave of Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations figures?
The official release name is "Tokyo Vinyl", as is printed on the packaging. But I'm sure it'll receive several other muddled up names before the series gets going .
