I didn't know that myself! I never had the toy, just the part, but it looked so much like a kaiju-fireball, I figured Gamera could have it. It's been a bad year for 'fun money' just due to medical messes, so rather than hunt down the Monsterarts Gamera I wanted, I used the vinyl and added junk-bin parts.

Here's a pic to show the MMS Gamera with Mosterarts music-box Godzilla next to each other better. Plus some weird Star Wars tentacle monster thing, because why not? I assume this is kaiju sumo and Godzilla is refereeing.

Yep.. they are still saying they'll be available at other retailers but HLJ hasn't posted them so we don't know what that means or who that means yet.

Do exclusives like that usually end up on those sites?

That's the thing. They don't. Maybe these ride figures are different, but so far all G Store exclusives have remained as G Store exclusives.

No where have they actually said they are exclusives.

There are several dealers on various FB groups taking order for the theme park figures. But from the looks of it $100 each is going to be the average price.

Yikes. Hopefully there will be more generous sellers in the future, who knows. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Mandrake. Don't support your local dealers scalpers.

I feel you guys, IMO the Ghidorah figure is skreeonkin' ugly and I just want the Godzilla figure as well, paying no more than $50 but it seems like that'll be impossible...

Ghidorah looked like an ugly child between Cretaceous Ghidorah and Gyaos.

Considering the figures are 40 and 50 each the price is 90 total. Then factor in let's say shipping or whatever. I'll be generous, 30. Then a personal fee for the seller, 30.
160 is on the upper end of this but anything beyond that is a scam. Don't start panic buying or give into this. They'll say that this is "exclusive" and it SORT OF is, but it's not like, "don't buy it instantly and you'll never be able to purchase it!.

For reference, Retro Godzilla was buyable for about a year and a half until recently when it went on stock:
https://godzilla.store/shop/g/gGSG0550009/

I'd say 120 to 160 USD is a fair price.

I think my price range for the Godzilla will be like $40-possibly 70, but any more than that and I'm out. Hopefully someone can have it up separately sometime soon.
