More Pre-Orders

Well I've succumbed to the temptation of preorders!

For a while, I had canceled a couple of my preorders due to the fact that I reserved myself the hefty X-Plus 30cm Godzilla 1989 figure. However, I finally got off my butt, made an account over at Amiami, and preordered myself the figures there.

My orders include the Ultra-Act First Generation Ultraman, Ultra-Act Red King, and S.H. MonsterArts Fire Rodan. I had Fire Rodan preordered at HobbyLink Japan, but seeing that it's cheaper over at Amiami, I canceled my HLJ order and reordered it over there along with the two other figures. Totaled together, I spent $104.00 which isn't bad for what I'm getting out of it. However shipping will eventually be a different story for I am having Fire Rodan and Ultraman shipped together at the end of July while Red King comes later in late August separately.



I've been happy with the prices I've been seeing at Amiami and Hobby Search that I'll be making them the primary places to buy figures. I'll still come around to HobbyLink Japan to surf the sales.

And I have also added it to the Want Kaiju Toys? page.

HobbyLink Japan Sale

Hurry now to HobbyLink Japan!

They're having a clearance sale right now, and a lot of their science fiction related items are now at excellent prices! Of course, I too had to take advantage of the sale and buy something.

I managed to order the Sci-Fi Revoltech Type 66 Maser Cannon, a famous weapon in Toho's giant monster films of the 60's and 70's. This version of the weapon first appeared in the film War of the Gargantuas, the subtle sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World (aka Frankenstein vs. Baragon).

I can't wait to receive this item, which I can only anticipate sometime next week before or after the arrival of my X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series Gigan figure. Expect reviews for both items immediately after they arrive!

Latest Pre-Orders

Even though I am currently set back after purchasing my X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series Gigan the other day, I am still going strong with future items.

My latest reservation is another X-Plus figure, and a BIG one too with a bigger price. It is the latest of X-plus' Toho 30cm Series of figures, the new Godzilla 1989 figure. This figure, unlike Gigan, stands at around 31.5cm tall, which is about 13 inches, a bulky figure.

I was hesitant at first when ordering this, mainly due to the larger price tag. However, I found a solution - cancel some of my pre-orders. With the exception of the S.H. MonsterArts Fire Rodan, I had to cancel some of my other reservations, including the one for the new edition of the Ultra-Act Ultraman. It's not a huge loss, since I'll eventually get it sooner or later.

Unfortunately I will not be home when it arrives (thankfully I have my cousin to pick it up for me), so I'll be getting it in August when I return to Guam from my summer vacation.
