Availability & Best Deal Updates - RED ZONE ALERT! 11/29

It's official folks! Battra has finally sold out. If you haven't purchased it, there may be smaller retailers or comic shops that still carry Battra at or below MSRP. As of today it is in the RED ZONE! Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnn. From here on out, we'll see its prices climb. If you managed to get it, awesome!

Yellow Zone Alerts!

It's not surprising that both the new effects sets for the S.H.MonsterArts line would sell out quick. Being a web exclusive means a limited supply being brought over to Bluefin, and the price is relatively low when compared to the rest of the line, is a guaranteed quick sell out. Today the Toho Ultimate Weapons Set 2 & Godzilla Effects Set 2 are no longer carried by Bluefin Distribution, effectively entering the Yellow Zone. So what's on the market is all that is left. If you were planning on building an army down the road or plan waiting for a better deal, don't wait too long. Think about how much the first Toho Ultimate Weapons Set costs now... Although on a slightly better note, this is great that these effects sets sold so well and so fast. Tamashii Nations will definitely be looking into future S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla themed sets in the future.

Availability, Best Deals, and Site Updates! 11/21

It's only been a week since the last report on Battra and Amazon's stock has dropped from 42 to 28. I've said it before and I'll say it again, get this figure while you can! Additionally, Biollante is only carried between two retailers (of the nine that I track), Amazon & Toy Wiz. I can't give an exact number on how many Amazon currently has as they have it capped to only purchasing up to five pieces per order. But it's looking like it's getting closer to the Orange Zone. Same with Mothra, it's stock is currently capped at 5 pieces per order, but it's still available through 3 other major retailers.

Last but not least, Kiryu (2003) officially hit US soil November 19, 2014. It hasn't reached Big Bad Toy Store, Amazon, or Anime Island yet, but it's shipping from Eknightmedia, Gundam Planet, Image Anime, & Toy Arena right now!

Availability & Best Deal Update 11/14 - YELLOW & RED ZONE ALERTS

Christmas is coming, so don't miss out on these figures! Spacegodzilla is no longer available at MSRP through popular retailers and has once again succumbed a fate that is the Red Zone. I should note though, it is available through Eknightmedia and Nakama Toys for a few dollars more than its original MSRP. If you were waiting for a deal in time fore Christmas, you may want to rethink that strategy. Gigan (2004) is no longer available at Bluefin Distribution which means it's now in the Yellow Zone. If you haven't bought this figure yet, Amazon has a sweet deal going on right now for less than $70 shipped.

In other news, Battra continues to get closer to the Red Zone. Last month, Amazon had a about 68 in stock. This month it has dropped to 42. It'll probably be around for the holidays, but not much longer afterward.

Hi-Res Photos Update! Godzilla [Comic-Con Explosion] & Godzilla (2014) [Poster Version]

Hi-Res Images Available Here

The Godzilla (2014) [Poster Version] rocks the illuminated reddish flame color found on the Japanese theatrical posters for GODZILLA (2014). The sculpt and articulation engineering are unchanged from the original release back in October (NA). This variant is exclusively available through Amazon.co.jp, bundled with Toho's Limited Blu-Ray 5 Disc Edition of GODZILLA (2014), priced at ¥15,000 ($130), and limited to only 8000 pieces! It's scheduled to be released February 25, 2015.

The Bad News:
If you've just heard about this and really want it, unfortunately, it sold out in 2 days. Due to the nature of this release, it will not be released in North America.

The Not-So-Good-News:
You can still pick it up from third party sellers like PlayAsia, CDJapan, or Ebay, but be prepared to spend well over MSRP.

The Good News-(ish):
If you don't want to pay the crazy aftermarket prices for this release, you can always closely monitor Amazon.co.jp's product page and hope that someone cancels their pre-order. Amazon.co.jp instantly updates the product page once a pre-order is successfully canceled. So there's a slim, random, chance you can still own this figure and set at MSRP.

Sci-Fi Japan has listed the complete product info and specs of this bundle, check it out!

In addition to this update, I've also included brand new Hi-Res promo photos of Godzilla [Comic-Con Explosion], courtesy of Bandai Tamashii Nations Japan, released July 2012. Original product info & specs included. Even though this figure has been long out of print, it's still relatively affordable through Amazon, Image Anime, and Toy Wiz. Perhaps this can fill the void that is Godzilla (2014) [Poster Version].
