Man Your Battle Stations And Again Man Your Battle Stations

It's that time again! Preorders for Figuarts Sky High will open on November 1st, which means sleepless nights, crashed sites, the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat. Need some tips on camping? We're at your service:

The first sites to upload are typically AmiAmi, HobbySearch, and CDJapan. Hobby Link Japan can be worth stalking, but they often don't start taking orders until the next day or so. It definitely can be a good alternative if you miss the first round. I recommend monitoring all four sites to be safe, and add-ons like Check4Change can be your best friend. Because time is so critical, it's best to have the pages reloading every 15 to 30 seconds. Yes, even seconds can make all the difference. The best pages to refresh are the placeholder ones that are put up a few hours before they begin taking orders, but if those aren't available you're best off reloading these ones: AmiAmi's front page, Hobby Search's mecha page, CDJapan's Tiger & Bunny listings, and Hobby Link Japan's Tiger & Bunny listings. Keep an eye on either 4chan's T&B thread or Twitter for when the individual item pages go live. Now when is the best time to be ready? I usually check about noon Japan time, but so far they've never started that early, so the golden time appears to be between 4 and 6 PM.

That's really all the help I can give you. The rest is timing and sheer luck. Be prepared for sites to slow or crash, especially AmiAmi.

Slightly more obtainable, Cospa keeps rolling out Graphigs. Here we have Keith and PaoLin, being more adorable then anything has a right to be.

 

My loyalty will always lay with Kenzo, but it is official merchandise so I'm obligated to add that Cozy Wave has added pictures of the T&B cologne bottles. They'll be out in December.

Figuarts Barnaby has been released, so we know what that means: Infinite Princess Carries!

 

In community news, Bunny's Birthday is only a day away but you still have time to finish your entries. Locally, I've added a couple of stores to the resources page, and made sure all release dates are current and items that have been released in the last few days are now marked as such. Quite a few items have been sent out early, including the official calender.

Happy hunting and again happy hunting! See ya~
