Best Deals & Availability Update 1/31

What an uneventful week it was for SHMA's in retail. Everything is pretty much the same last week, however, stock of certain monsters continue to deplete. Destoroyah has only 4 pieces available through Amazon. It's likely to be it this time. Other retailers do have it in stock, so once Amazon is out, you'll still have a 2nd chance at it.

Previously, during the holidays, MOGUERA and Godzilla Jr. were changed to the ORANGE ZONE as a pre-caution due to Amazon counting down is limited stock. January has passed and Amazon's stock warnings have removed for both of these figures. Their availability status are being reverted back to the YELLOW ZONE... For now.

As a reminder, the Battra & Mothra Larva Set stock with Amazon gets lower every, now with only 7 pieces in stock. As stated last week, Amazon claims more is on the way, but Bluefin doesn't have anymore pieces left. So it could be a few pieces from an outstanding order, or could be a lot. Either way, the set is available through other retailers if Amazon sells completely out.

Availability & Best Deal Updates 01/25 ORANGE ZONE ALERT!

The Larva Set seems to be on it's way out. Amazon currently has 12 left in stock and claims that more are on the way... However, there's chance that more could be less or none- essentially what happened to Mothra (Adult). My advice? Grab this set if you can, it's not one that you want to miss. So for now, the Battra and Mothra Larva Set are being flagged into the Orange Zone.

In other news, Amazon has finally stocked Kiryu (2003) after fulfilling pre-orders. It's excellent figure, I recommend it!

Availability & Best Deal Updates 01/05 ORANGE ZONE ALERTS!

Some new changes in availability to kick off the new year. MOGUERA's stock continues to dwindle on Amazon, (11 in stock left). It's unknown if more will be ordered once stock is depleted, but other retailers do still carry it. Just remember, once Amazon sells out, some retailers raise their own prices since their biggest competitor is out of the game. So act soon. MOGUERA is a fantastic piece and a must have!

Destoroyah's stock on Amazon completely sold out, and thirdparty sellers already began raising the price. However, it appears Amazon may have received it's last shipment of Destoroyah with only 21 pieces left. Destoroyah is in the same shape as MOGUERA, other retailers still carrying it, etc.

Godzilla Jr.'s stock has depleted to a critical 5 pieces on Amazon. It may not be much of a figure in terms of scale and price point, but for completion's sake, its worth having in that collection of yours. Again, other retailers carry it like MOGUERA and Destoroyah, etc.

Some other figures have sold at other retailers, limiting the other options of obtaining them. This includes Gigan and Godzilla (2014).

Monster Forecast Removed :-(

After many talks and deliberations, a decision was made to take down the Monster Forecast page on the site. As some of you know I work with Tamashii Nations JP and doing so allows me to be privy to some of there internal workings, including upcoming releases. That being said, the Monster Forecast was deemed too insightful, despite the red herrings purposefully thrown in there to keep it from being a general leak of information.

I am working on something to fill this pages void, but it won't be anything that will concretely suggest something like, it could be x or y monsters. Currently looking into an interactive experience with the entire Godzilla cast of monsters.

Thanks to all who participated in the Monster Forecast.
