Godzilla Bandai USA/Creations discussion

[Manda2012]

Saw the Gigan wave at K-Mart, pegs said $9.99 - that's better than TRU!

[Petezilla]

Is there any legit source for what the initial sales price for the BANDAI Creation/USA figures (6.5", 12", Tokyo Vinyl) is/was intended to be...? I don't really need regular common spans, but legit information from BANDAI, if possible! Thanks in advance!

Found some Bandai USA Godzilla toys at my Kmart today!
Picked up Fusion MechaGodzilla

[Mr. X]

It's going to be a while before I get around to buying the 2nd wave of Fusion figures. Monsterarts are stealing my money.
I'll get them eventually. I was really lookin' forward to Fusion Burning Goji... Then he came out. Why does he have Brown burning splotches on him? Whatever...

And Rainbow Mothra looks awesome!

[UnCanny Studios]

I ran across the new wave at my local Toys R Us... and I found myself doing the exact same thing I did when the first wave came out. I passed on Rainbow Mothra just as I did Gigan. They're neat, but for some reason I am content with all of the original editions I have. I'll pick them up eventually, but I'd rather keep pumping money into Marmits .

My friend went on a toy run in the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area a couple weeks ago and was told by a Toys R Us employee that Bandai Creation Godzillas were no longer going to be stocked in this region. There was only a spot for Tokyo Vinyl and the 12", but they were completely empty. He managed to find the first three of wave 8 for me at K-Mart, but I have no idea how I'm going to get the second wave. I hope K-Mart carries it.

I am staying the weekend with my dad and decided to kill some time today by going to K-Mart and was surprised to see that they had finally started carrying Godzilla figures again! They had the normal Godzilla 1968 and Gigan, plus the Fusion Godzilla 1968, Fusion Gigan and Fusion Mechagodzilla. I was hoping that they would have the Fusion Burning Godzilla, but no luck there. I didn't buy any of them because I have no place to put them since I already have all the normal figures, but I will throw out the same offer that I did before to where I will pick up any of these figures if someone on here wants them as long as the retail price and shipping is covered. I'm not looking to profit from them, I just want to keep the figures moving so that (God willing) if Bandai Creation decides to get off their asses and make some new molds, hopefully that K-Mart would be able to stock them.

Ugh, I miss KB Toys, they use to be fully stocked with all the good stuff.

TRU is good too, but you gotta be super lucky if you wanna find what you want.

I remember the time when KB Toys was closing down everywhere and everything was on extreme Clearence.
I went one time to check it out. The store was COMPLETELY empty, except for a small pile of stuff in the front which had some Indiana Jones stuff and such.

Guess what else I saw there.

A whole self of a hundred Bandai Creation figures on the left side of the store untouched. WOW
Too bad I already had them all at the time. But wow, no one bought them, even for dirt cheap.
And remember, the store was pretty much completely empty. WOW

They all probably got thrown out.

Are those figures really considered shit to the general public and kids.

Amazing

If i was there , and depending on which figures , i would have grabbed the whole lot since it's dirt cheap and sell them on ebay but then that's just me.

[ZillaMaster91]

^ My thoughts exactly. I even saw someone selling an entire box of them on Ebay that a store had lying around for a good amount. I had actually considered buying it so I too could resell it for a profit.

I second this!

[Jirass]

I got the Fusion '68 Godzilla yesterday. It's pretty nice, definitely worth the 10.99. Just nice to see him in an American store.

[gatorzilla]

Just nice to see him in an American store.

Amen to that!

[FlawedCoil82]

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned it here before or not, but K-Mart's website now has the most recent wave of Bandai Creation Godzillas up for sale (Burning G, G 2000, Rainbow Mothra both in regular and fusion). They are only $9.99 each, so if there are people still looking for these that do not have a local K-Mart store, I'd recommend getting them here:

Also, I was very pleased (and surprised) to see that when I went to the K-Mart most recently, they had only one Godzilla figure still available (meaning five had sold since the last time I was there) which is good news! I'd like to see these things sell so that Bandai might finally get off their asses and start making some new molds for us.

Why should they?

And new molds of what, exactly?

Especially when their still busy with S.H. MonsterArts.

[Petezilla]

Again: BANDAI/Tamashii stated themselves (!) that whatever the Tamashii brand produces has nothing to do with what the BANDAI brand produces and vice versa. They are completely independent from each other.

[FlawedCoil82]

What Petezilla said. Plus, I am talking about new molds for the Bandai Creation figures, not the Bandai Japan ones.

Oh, well in that case, you're dreamin'.

Wouldn't it be funny if they saw potential in the US market for growth and decided to step up their quality and released more detailed sculpts!?
Who needs X-Plus figures anymore, I'm going to my local TRU to pick up the latest 12" Godzilla and it's only costing me $20!
Honestly, think the BC 12" figures look pretty good, and would love to, see more of them.

I'm expecting to possibly see that when the new movie comes out.

[GCrusher]

Good call. Hopefully more 12" BC figures.
