What bullshit. I wake up at 7am hoping to reserve this and its already sold out. They knew how popular the original trainer red was, so why didnt they make a million of these. Those bastards. Hopefully it comes back in stock.

Is there a cancel button in the cancel order page on pokemon center?

yes, that's why you order it from amazon yourself and use bij's forwarding service. it's really straightforward and only costs 500 jpy

The scales are correct, except for Venusaur. They always get that giant faggot wrong.

>Pokemon Center sold out
Nuts, should have stayed up.

Maybe they'll list some more. When the Pokemon Center store first went up, items were going into and out of stock a lot on the same day.

Looks like the scalpers are getting in early.

>>5518261
Were the Red + Blue combo also on the US Pokemon Center store?

I'm also still holding out hope for them to come back up. From my experience with the Pokemon Center store, items will go out of stock for a bit before coming back up. Cynthia was out of stock for a few backs now she's back up.

>>5518261
>putting up Red and Green when they're not even sold out yet
I'm impressed though that they have at least 25 alt accounts to watch the item

>>5518273
Red and Green are currently available in Japan, but people are speculating they may appear in the US too, like the other nendos have.

Yeah it's pretty nuts have quickly he's being picked up, it seemed like he wasn't gonna be that popular. Hope he gets restocked!

>>5518280
I missed out and am hoping I won't have to pay the slowpoke tax on him. Maybe if he doesn't come back, once they start shippipng Ebay will be flooded with him and he won't cost so much. I can deal with a 50%-100% markup if need be.

>50%-100% markup if need be.
Ouch. At that price you can just pick up an original Red, unless you're really gunning for the evolved starters. Although they'll probably look pretty good next to N and Cynthia.

>>5518289
I actually had a NA and JP red and sold them like an idiot a few months ago for no reason other than, "I haven't even displayed these yet because I don't have the room."

I was hoping to pick this up to replace those.

>>5518280
>>5518283
>Red and Green are currently available in Japan

No, they're available for preorder, they're not out yet.

>>5518300
I'm not talking about Red and Green, I'm talking about Champion Red.

Unless he's out in Japan.

>>5518290
Awww shit. That blows dude

>>5518319
I was actually trying to sell them in a BST thread but nobody believed that I had two unopened Red Nendos, so I fucked off to Ebay.

Really regret selling those now.

Not interested in this but it's back up

Hope you guys get at least 1.

>>5517987
It's back up on amazon.

>>5518329
Got one, and they're immediately back out of stock.

I refreshed the page at JUST the right time.

>>5518329
Disregard, it's now out of stock O_O

>>5518333
Congrats, I'm happy atleast someone from /toy got one.

>>5518300
Well yes, that's what I meant to say.

Did they say Red and Green would come to the U.S. I see why the other nendoroids came but those 2 seem like a Japan thing. He's blue in the U.S. afterall.

>>5518338
Thanks. I'm the dude who was a dumbass who sold his two original ones, so this makes up for it.

I got the confirmation e-mail, but it's not showing up on my order pages. Kind of concerning. Maybe the website is just having trouble keeping up.

>>5518343
Probably the website is being bombarded by F5's, give it a day to subside. If it isn't still appearing on your order page tomorrow then better email them up.

>>5518343
Probably because of that but even when he first went it up, it still took some time for him to show up in people's orders

>>5518094

Bumping this

>>5518350
>>5518358
Yeah, it's showing up now.

Now I'm holding my breath hoping he actually was in stock and it coming up for a split second wasn't some sort of glitch.

How much is it anyway? Not really interested in actually getting it.

>>5518409
$99.99 USDs

>>5518343
>>5518390
Nice one bud! I reckon there's a good chance you got him, I know other people were anxious about the same problem and it's just their website lagging because of the traffic I think.

At least this one will make up for the originals, haha. You can still always hunt one down too!

I missed out... Oh well.

>>5518180

Yeah, having that Blastoise already was a big factor in deciding against the new Red. Besides my wallet of course. I do wish the ones that came in the Nendo set were a bit bigger, it just looks nicer in my opinion.

>>5518754
Did you opt for one or two day shipping? I chose standard shipping and my own order says it's shipping soon. That's a relief though since I really thought it was going to release in May or July from what was shown so far

Nope, I went for standard shipping. Estimated arrival: March 2nd

>>5518779
Charizard looks good to me, and technically Blastoise isn't bad. I tend to forget how small he actually is and I just prefer for him to be a mega turtle I guess. But I feel bad for Venasaur.

>>5518779
Whoa, I forgot that Venusaur was that huge. It practically looks out of scale to me. But now that I look at it, they definitely could've made the Venusaur nendo larger at least in comparison with the other two

>>5517987
Just wen to pokemoncenter.com and all I see is Cynthia and N
it took months for Cynthia to sell out
I thought Red was out today where is he?

>>5518903
Already sold out. if you were REALLY wanting this figure and you knew the release date, you'dve known this was going to be in high demand and would have waited until it went live to buy it. I had enough sense to just wait, and I'm the guy the dipshits were talking to earlier about refreshing.

>>5518945
I knew it came out today
didn't know what time

I ordered Cynthia at like 10 am the first day and time she went up live come to find out she never went out of stock for months

Pokemoncenter should have had more copies
there is no reason to have an item go live at a time when 90% of people are asleep and to be out of stock within minutes
there is no reason for them to have had Cynthia on a max limit to buy but not Trainer Red

Quickly cell photos here. I'm actually very pleased with the three Pokemon. The sculpts are sharp, the colors are very vibrant and there's even some simple articulation with them. Even though I own all the D-Arts version I'm still quite pleased with these.

>>5519315
the charizard looks great and is actually accurate to dreamworld art, the other 2 are trash

So is Japan supposed to get Champion Red, so I can have an actual legitimate opportunity to buy it?

I was thinking of selling my D-art Blastoise and Venusaur since I was never able to get Charizard and just get this.

But since they don't look that great, I'll just sell my D-art anyway since I got them both for $40 bucks, and sell them both for $60 because Blastoise is still worth $50 online.

The only Pokemon D-art that looked the best was Mewtwo, that that's the only one I'll keep.

>>5520388

>Blastoise is still worth $50 online.

Are you high? A used Blastoise easily goes for $100+ dollars on eBay and other places. And if you're willing to pay scalper prices for this Champion Red, you can stretch and get a D-Arts Charizard for a similar price.

>>5519315

I just have strong feeling they will remade them one day since Pokemon is getting really popular again.

Not crazy about the trio starters, but I always wanted a good figure of Charizard, which I hope they make one day.

I have this Charizard that I got for $5 bucks one day, it's size up with the other D-art but he does look goofy.

>>5521295

>>5518231

It seems to be some kind of error on their part. The estimated delivery dates are two months ahead for some reason. Once they actually ship, you get a much more realistic delivery date so rest assured

>>5521819

Not bait but I can post a timestamp with my child in the morning if need be but It might cause unwanted attention cuz [spoilers]femanon[spoilers/]

Why do they do such small amounts of them when they know it'll sell out instantly? This only helps scalpers.

>>5521824
Nobody cares. I don't know why you'd admit to scalping, it only invites negative attention, regardless of your personal life story

>>5521831
No one gives a fuck about scalping, or scalpers either, so thats why I scalp whenever I can. That other anon however has a reason it seems. I however do it to fuel my funds for lego, and other great toys. Also I'm lucky to live in a country where I get a $700 check for my autism disability. So I don't need to work.

>>5521813
Damn, that sounds sad.

How about I make you a deal?

I give you $500 dollars, and you give me the nendroid for free.

>>5521877

>500 dollars dollars

>>5521295
I hear ya, I got mine cheap-ish too. But from what I've seen online, the general consensus is that those D-Arts will not be remade. Besides Charizard, I don't think they sold very well. Afterall, years later you can still pick up Venusaur for under 50 bucks. So I really think you're throwing away a nice collection there. Like I said, if you're willing pay scalper prices for Red, you can find Charizard for cheaper than that. I did.

Oh shit I forgot about that episode haha. Overall I don't think they were that bothered in the anime, their sizes tended to fluctuate a lot. For this Nendo I reckon Venusaur's downsizing is more to do with space and cost, which is a pity!

>>5518779
You're doing the scale wrong. Venasaur's length is longways, like ass to face.

>>5521841
Fuck you so hard.

I l get disability checks for my autism too and you made me cringe and feel so much shame.

The depression I have because I can't work feels like a weight on my chest. It feels like the only thing that would make me a man, being able to provide for myself and a future family, has been taken away from me.

I'm a long way off from being able to works so I can't do much about it. I have to spend a lot of time in the future getting surgeries for severe chronic health issues, some of those are preventing me from working like tendonitis. (It literally hurts to type this)
Most of my autism bucks go to my bills because I live by myself and manage a home. Not my mom's basement like you so I don't care if I waste money on toys now. I have to pay actual bills and most of my money will be going to dentists and hospital bills and therapy bills. They're just toys not gold you dumb motherfucker.

You're why people think we're fucking Chris Chan level man children. You need to work you fucking dumb motherfucker.

Suck it up and realize the Nendoroids are implicitly stylized representations of the characters and thus scale isn't that important, just looking about right.

MF has a lot of options to choose from if they ever decide to make a figma Red, the design in >>5522973 might have the highest chance seeing as it's an official redesign. I'm actually somewhat tempted to get the ArtFX, it would be my first statue.

Maybe it's for the best if none of the pkm trainers get a figma. Male and female protags plus rivals would bleed me dry and with the way MF has been handling things lately, would come with must have, overpriced, pre-order bonuses and take years to actually release.

Yeah no, as much as I love Red, that doesn't really seem worth it, especially with Red and Green costing 70. Also, it's crazy to see how bad this is getting scalped, especially since N and Cynthia were easy as fuck to get before (and even got restocked recently, oh wow).

>>5524495
I dont understand it at all
Why make only a few figures to sell? Shouldnt they make enough to meet demand?

Oh well. I thought this would deflate the price of my original Red but it seems Reds rarity has remained virtually untouched. Pretty fucking weird lol.

Maybe theyll make more copies than just a dozen soon enough...

>>5524501
It increases rarity for the people who scalp em up, for sure. Unless they and amazon didn't set up some sort of house limit, there's no limit to how many someone could buy, so that might be it. Then again, why didn't it happen for the other nendos? Even regular Red took a week.

I'll just wait and see if they ever do a restock of the starters Red, since I'd love to have that happy fuck.

>>5524521
It was like 10 max per household.
Thats still a lot mind you but at the same time its a 20th anniversery shit so i expected it to be limited. I do agree though that they should reprint the original red

>>5517987
I bought the first nendo, not getting Jewed for the new one. Thanks for reminding me to go order the Red/Green set, though.

>>5524521
A restock of the original Red would be nice but I doubt it'll ever happen. There's gonna be a whole bunch of different Reds on the market now and I still see the champion edition Red as being a quasi-rerelease of regular Red, just gussied up for the 20th anniversary. It does suck that they forewent the happy expression and some other parts though

>>5524495
Don't forget to factor in the three evolved nendos as well. Admittedly, if you already have the D-arts then you probably wouldn't have much use for the nendo versions but as a guy who missed out on those originally, getting Red, Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur for $100 is pretty decent. Of course, if you don't care for the Pokemon accessories at all then I can see your preference for the (once) cheaper original Red but the Champion version clearly has the Pokemon nendos as a part of the main appeal

>>5525102
Evil team grunts would be neat, too. They could make a whole bunch of nendos from Pokemon alone but we're just going to get the few super popular characters, which also happen to be characters I don't care about.
>>5525182
>>5525184
They should make sets for both game protags of each gen like they are doing with Red and Green, I'd buy the fuck out of them.

>>5525198
>both game protags
>Red and Green
Leaf when?

I don't get what the point is getting this over the Red/Green set. I would think the Gen 1 design along with the rival is the one most people would want. The starters are a nice bonus, but in that case I'd rather splurge for the D-arts.Plus there's probably some other option available, even the old Hasbro toys. Having the rival is such a bigger draw to me.

And I'm no "Genwunner" or whatever effete insult people say, I loved FR/LG. But I didn't think anyone was particularly attached to those redesigns. I actually do have the first Red release, but if Gen 1 Red came first and we got the G3 version later, I would've probably ignored it. Maybe I'd still have gotten it to pose with D-arts Charizard in a smash bros. display.

>>5525374
>But I didn't think anyone was particularly attached to those redesigns.
I actually prefer the fr/lg redesign but the original holds more sentimental value due to nostalgia.

>>5525374
>I actually do have the first Red release, but if Gen 1 Red came first and we got the G3 version later, I would've probably ignored it.
This is definitely the case for me. I kind of regret buying the first Red, now, since it will be dumb to display them both. I never expected them to re-release the same damn nendo with the evolved Pokemon and I definitely did not expect the gen 1 design Red AND Green. I guess I can sell him but I really don't want to go through the hassle of selling stuff online.

>but in that case I'd rather splurge for the D-arts
You're a more dedicated person than I am. Spending $200~ on Charizard and $100+ on Blastoise is just way way too much for me, even if they are essentially the best figures out there for the Pokemon. Don't care THAT much for Venusaur though

>>5525384
This essentially. What with the 20th anniversary, it definitely feels like they are trying to cash in on the nostalgia factor by releasing classic Red and Green. I'm not really positive how many fans who haven't played the Gen 1 games are really fond of the Gen 1 designs or even Red and Green at all. It's sort of just an appeal to the older generation of fans. Also don't forget that with the redesign and Smash, Fire Red basically has his own established character with his own appeal

So I've been thinking about getting the d-arts to go with the nendo, and I noticed that lucario and blaziken are way cheaper than the Kanto starters. Is it lack of popularity, or are they bad?

>>5526241
Lack of popularity I'm assuming. Blaziken can't put his leg as high as I'd like, and Lucario's ear keeps falling off but overall they're pretty nice. If you get them under $30 I'd say worth.

>>5526241
They're obviously priced differently for a reason other than just them being 'bad' lol, I assume the starters are just much more rare...

Sooo how many of you are actually using a proxy service to get Red and Green now?

I'm thinking of doing this soon, hopefully I'm not too late.

>>5526241
Gen 1 proving more popular than later gen Pokemon? Hardly a surprise.
Lucario came when people were getting tired of Nintendo trying to push him and the reception to Blaziken was pretty subpar.

>>5526095
You can hunt them down on Yahoo Japan for a whole lot less than elsewhere, if you're patient. It can be a bit of an effort to get them, but it's worth it when you're saving a few bucks.

>>5525374
>>5526116
I get what you're saying. I prefer the Gen1 design too, but that's mostly nostalgia. I get the feeling that Red's redesign is more popular because it's had more exposure, whereas only a minority of oldfags (me being one of them) prefer Sugi's original watercolour designs that came in the manual. I like both anyway, and as another Anon said, G3 Red would look great with Leaf.

>>5526336
I pre-ordered them through amazon japan and then I'm having them forwarded to me from BiJ. I'd get on it soon, not sure how well they're selling, but it would be a shame to miss them I think.

>>5526367
How is BiJ? Is it better than tenso?

>>5526367
Ok thank you
Gonna go for it too
Even if it comes to america this seems very inexpensive to do

Just to make sure... I actually emailed them for a proxy request and they said they couldnt "proxy" it and instead to use the forwarding service, so thats what im gonna do.

So basically i just preorder it and use the address they give right? And then order a ticket?

Thanks

>>5527381
You use a japanese proxy service and it's usually pretty straightforwrad. For example I often use FromJapan.

>create an account with them
>deposit money you need to bid on items, plus a little extra for transaction fees
>use item URL from YJ to add them to your watch list

>proxy will use your deposit to bid on whichever item/s you want, on your behalf, plus their fee
>win auction
>seller mails item to proxy
>proxy invoices you for shipping
>then proxy mails item to you

The trickiest part, like eBay, is just outbidding at the auction really. That, and avoiding customs (FJ will also mark a lower price on your parcel so you can avoid custom charges, which is cool). Also remember when searching on YJ you need to use the katakana. For example Charizard is Lizardon in Japanese, and in Katakana it's リザードン.

>>5528516
>Ash had one of the smaller Charizards according to Charizard valley
Charizard Valley? More like Chadizard Valley with all those Alpha as fuck Pokemon.

My phone is shit to type on but I made a list of wanted nendoroids. Did I miss anyone?

Are Cynthia and N selling poorly? I feel like that might be bad for the future of poke nendos. We'll have to live with Red re-releases and alternates if nothing else sells

As much as Figma are better, atleast Nendos get released

>>5529121
>this guy fucking gets it

Of your list I'd personally love to have those variations of Gold, Nurse Joy, May, Leaf and the Gym Leaders.

>>5529142
>We'll have to live with Red re-releases and alternates if nothing else sells
Or just expansion into Gen 1 where the real money is.

>>5529142
>Are Cynthia and N selling poorly?

I don't know what the current situation is for buying her, but I preordered Cynthia as soon as she was first announced. It was kind of on a whim, I just wanted something, anything representing Cynthia and Garchomp in figure form. When I eventually got her I realised I have absolutely no love for Nendoroids or chibi shit in general.

I deeply regretted my purchase so I left her unopened for 6 months. I sold her on ebay last week for $100, I feel better since I made a little bit of profit. Somebody was willing to pay that much, so maybe she is in demand.

check for change chrome thinger went off like 35 min ago showing Red in stock.

crap.

>>5528890
But we did get a gen 2 nendo. Red at the end of G/S/C

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of that! She actually has a nice design overall and she looks tougher than later redesigns. It's a pity they didn't make her in Nendo form, but I guess she's pretty obscure and they're following what's in the games and not the manga.

Because her design is pretty simple actually, I wonder if it's possible to cobble her together from other nendoroids…

It's common knowledge that the anime conpletely disregards game dex info, like with ash carrying larvitar in a bag despite him being extremely heavy or how Nidoking is supposed to be only 4 foot tall.

I'm considering ordering Bulbasaur off of Amazon.co.jp, but the shipping costs to the US are gonna be pretty high.

Mate they're a 7500 yen set which is around $65 which means when they'll be on the Pokemon Center they'll be around $70 with free shipping. Let's not be impatient here and lie to ourselves that they wont come out in the US like all the others. If you're not in America fine but if you're a Murrican just be patient. It's not worth wasting $40.

The implication is that it's some consolation, not that you could only get one. The fact that you immediately read it as such and replied in a combative manner suggests you harbour some insecurities about how many toys you buy.

>>5546520
That's actually maybe $5~ more expensive than using a forwarder. Although out of all the proxy sites selling them, I think that's the cheapest I've seen so far

Also Gold, but with a Typhlosion and maybe a Pokemon egg accessory or something

Sorry to bump such an old thread but its definitely on topic, soooo

RED IS UP ON POKEMONCENTER, GO GO GO

>tfw my second Champion Red will be coming in the mail tomorrow

I wish my autism allowed me to only buy one of things, but I almost always get doubles for my toys. One to keep sealed, another to open and display.

Steven and some rocks

>But we did get a gen 2 nendo. Red at the end of G/S/C
If you're gonna be a pedantic little bitch, the other Red is a gen 3 nendo nyer nyer

>>5550199
If you're going to be nitpicky about his outfit, at least get the generation right. You fight Champion Red in gen 4

>>5549416
I can't even imagine wasting that much money

>>5549416
Leaving nendoroids in their boxes isn't a good idea.

Not that anon, but why not?

They use a plasticizer when molding them that leeches out of the figure over time. Normally, it'll just come off as harmless vapor, but if there's nowhere for it to escape, it'll condense onto the figure and form a gross sticky coating on it. If it's allowed to stay for long enough, it'll even weaken/damage the plastic.

that could be kinda cool actually, the eggs are a neat idea. Personally I'd prefer Feraligatr and Meganium too.

>>5549754
No Metagross?? I think the next nendo is probably gonna be Steven, seeing as N and Cynthia were up recently. He wouldn't be on my choice list at all, but hey…

>>5550520
Only meant it as a joke. While we're on the topic of Steven, would it be mega or non-mega?

>>5550570
Some rocks would be a funny let down actually!

I'd prefer non-mega. Personally I'm not a big fan of mega-evolutions, aesthetically they always feel OTT to me. Like you can practically hear a guy in a suit standing in the art deptartment saying "make 'em biggerer and betterer with more spikes and stuff! MOAR!"

What do you think, mega or non-mega?

>>5550581
Honestly, I'm with you on Steven getting his regular Metagross. It's not because I dislike megas, though I'm not a big fan of them, but Megagross just looks really awkward to me. I would be fine if we got a character with a mega mon that could work as a standless figure, like Diantha or Zinnia.

>>5550431
Oh shit, I'm glad I take mine out of the boxes then.
>>5550520
That sounds awesome!

>>5550614
Yeah I get you, having a figure that stands alone and doesn't look goofy is a big plus.

For me, I also prefer when my collection has a consistency to it. So far the nendoroids have been regular evolved mons and it fits together nicely. Whereas mega-evolutions feel like a combo-breaker because they're outside of the norm.

Same deal with the D-Arts, I was a bit disappointed by the random Mega-Blaziken.

If Champion Red and Cynthia were any indications, Steven should come with regular Metagross. I hope so, at least. They have an excuse to give him Mega Metagross, but I hope they stick with regular since posing the thing would be a pain in the ass.
