It was actually due to the game machine companies complaining that they arent getting as many people into their establishments to play the games and win the prizes since its cheaper and easier to just get them from HLJ/AmiAmi/Playasia etc so a lot of people just go there.

Oh my goodness. It's too bad they're UFO catcher prizes.

I'd like to know news about the new politic Banpresto, because I don't understand they are behaving badly towards us western buyers. I'm so many years that I buy products Banpresto, but if they decided to do so, I sold everything, and don't buy anything more with their brand.
I too am disappointed enough by this new politics of distribution, but it also understands…I really agree with Dragonxpiece and Cyber-Robin.
Bandai is going to try to compensate on Westerners markets with the arrival of numerous Figuarts zero, but the quality is not the sameIt is necessary to recognize it:happy:
I am not really going to sell my products banpresto, I like them too much!! I am really satisfied to have been lucky to have it and I am so going to continue, but that risks to become complicated and very expensive!
-
Lol, just because they are having a Japan first policy? come on man, don't throw away years of collecionism just because Banpresto decided to limit their arsenal to Japan prize machines only. Besides they were always meant to be for prize, just lucky people and stores could get some, but we knew from the start we were buying prize figures and their origins.
I have spent to much money to start Banpresto series like WCF, and now?
Who doesn't live in Japan can only turn to online stores for their products.They could limit the sale of their products to customers outside Japan becuase we can't buy through the machines! -
I just realised even though I emailed HLJ yesterday they haven't got back to me, making me wait to hear is even more annoying, I wonder if I should email them again or wait until tomorrow first.
When I've emailed these places before they usually get back to me quickly.

On the base they are reserved for Japan prize machines only! We were lucky to be able to buy them so far! Let us be very happy, even if I am the first one to be sad of the situation…
There will be always a means to get them itself... Courage!! -

There will be always a means to get them itself... Courage!!Ugh of course there'll be means to get them, except these are figures of cartoon characters, not heroin. The prices the companies charge for these objects that are effectively plastic models are already high, having to pay double for the priviledge of by-passing their no online sales scheme is ridiculous and not desireable.
Having said that though I just looked back on HLJ, and they're taking pre-orders for all the admirals and Sengoku, so I would it very odd that they were doing that unless they intended to fulfill the order requests.

Yep, at least when there's a line up you can guess and even pre-order if there's a char you absolutely want but that…

Anyone in need of a Playasia coupon?My Bon wcf came today XD (luccckyyy!)I take back my complaints about Rayleigh taking forever lol These arrived in under a week.
Edit: DAMN. Who was it who was saying these new ones are POP like quality? No way is this remotely the same quality as them. Hell he looks cheap compared to most of the other wcf too.
Also looks like they got whatever moron who did Salome to do him too.

C'mon mate, these poor guys who make and paint the figures are working 12 hour days for $2 a week. Give 'em a break.
@Duomaxwe, that's your package my assistant has in her bag.
-
I was just disappointed that the wcf always seem to be good quality but this one is kinda eh. Still love him to bits tho so =3

@Elisabeth:
A) [Bandai] Figure Collection volume 19 -The Creeping Future Arrives-. Released in May. No pictures yet.
Its not the first time we see list of these with wrong chars. So dont blame me if its wrong. however found this list;
Luffy, Kid, Killer (finally!), Hawkins, Urouge, Apoo, X. Drake, Bonney, Mihawk, Perona, Rayleigh + Secret.
Nice set but kinda lame why didnt they just do all the Supernovas…enough Zoro and Law already but why leave out Capone.
unless Capone is the secret. But i dont see really why the would make him a secret. -

Mh… 2 out of 11... And two that might be fairly popular.
If that's confirmed and if I find buyers for the rest, I might order it :D
Thanks Redd. I will definitely blame you if you're wrong :P -
Haven't the others been done already? I know Law and Bepo at least have.
Anywho. I took some photos of the merch I got today. Damn it's hard to pose Deformasters awesomely without them taking up much space XD (does anyone know anywhere that might make some better bases for them? Like the FC style or wcf bases?
I love how taking pictures don't give off how good/bad figures are -_- Hancock looks 100x better on this pic than she does irl.
btw. Could people tell me if they prefer the quality of these images compared to my old ones or not. I'm using a different camera because I can't find my Micro SD card.
-

Bepo the Supernova :P… thats why i said enough Law and Zoro already. Actually i edited that so you probally missed
that ^_^" Only one missing is then Capone.@Elisabeth:

If someone interested, in this blog very good pictures of Ace and Roger
last ichiban kuji toohttp://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/kazu1426/
and some info from otacute. email them why they price so big for cards and binder

http://www.otacute.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_46&products_id=14280received from them:
I am sorry they come with several pieces.
I have just updated their description, so please take a look.
Thank you so much for letting me know about them (without proper description, I would also think that prices are wrong).
Yuhei
It like someone said here about big price for them) so? that was the reason/
-
Probably because you are buying a box of them.
The cards were on amiami a few days ago for about 600 yen.
Binder you get a box with 12 binders in.
-
yeah) but who wants 12 binders or 6 pack of cards? If they a wholesale now:) ?
lately pictures/ luffy and ace, and first nami on my bookshelf with a hat from cb-luffy
!
!
! -
Yeah Otacute sells alot of small stuff for wholesale. They always have done that.
-
My Warlords BlackBeard arrived today and damn it is nice. Had seen pictures and was abit skeptical but hes a really nice figure, good pose and looks very like the character. Only need Dofla now
-
Sengoku and Kizaru were announced in Playasia– are they supposed to be immediately sold out/out of stock after the announcement? Because I was thinking of buying Kizaru from PA and cancel my HLJ preorder after the reading up on HLJ's issue of getting Banpresto's figures...
I want my Kizaru ;~;

lol I was gonna mention I put pre-orders down for Kizaru and Sengoku from HLJ. Since I cancelled Figuarts Kiz I needed one to go with Akainu. And Sengoku is pretty damn awesome anyways (although I suppose this means I need to track a D. Garp to go with.)

Thanks for the pics, Elisabeth! I lol'd at Whitebeard deformkeyholder, his head is so massive so when he's semi crouched down doing his guragura attack his head somehow becomes several times more noticeably big…LOL. I really like Marco's colors...spirit will be happy. -
Oh...Ace's fire looks lovely for once....- wants.
Took some pictures of things I received from amiami today for OP (small package SAL ftw, quick and cheap).
First off, Blackbeard/Kurohige POP….seems pretty decent to me. I don't find much fault with the figure except the face is a bit off and he might be a tad skinny....but overall I think it's pretty nice....the accessories are not that attractive IMO on this figure so I just stuck with the cherry pie =)

Some of the holes in the back of the figures to go into the stand is impossible to fit because they're just too shallow...bleh...overall cute but I would of thought they'd improve more upon the semi-yellow plastic skintone.....that little Bepo = win though =D
