[Kamen Rider G]

[Kamen Rider G]

[Agito Geist]

Happy Holidays Guys! (G, Takumi) I hope everybody had a fun and safe holiday this year. can't wait to see what next year has in store of us. hopefully it will be a fresh start for the guild to kick back up mrgreen

G, did you get your S.I.C Kuuga? that's so cool ^-^ I got this pretty neat Kiva Figurine that you put together, which is pretty cool because I think it's part of some Decade line, because the belt comes off like you can switch them around.

It's crazy, your thread finally reached the 555 mark takumi. that's awesome congrats mrgreen hope your holiday was a great one too!  

[Kamen Rider G]

yea I got it and two sonic screwdrivers.  

[Kiriyama Ren]

So, Kento Handa, Renn Kiriyama, Masahiro Inoue, and Masata Kusaka are going to be in the next Kamen Rider movie.
For those of you who do not know who they are. Faiz, W, Decade, Kaixa. It's nice that the actors come back for cameos occasionally.

That's cool! xd I knew Masahiro Inoue was gonna be in it, but I didn't know the other ones were gonna be in it as well. I love it when characters make Cameos, other than lending their voice.
I'm just glad to see they haven't outgrown their characters. hopefully we start seeing more cameos like this in the future blaugh

Allow me to present the 555 Blu-ray DVD box.

1st press includes the storage box for future volumes. The box art is pure crap but the booklet and special features are cool.

 

[Agito Geist]

Wow, that's awesome! xd the cover may not be much to look at (which is kinda disappointing.) but it still looks great. Thank's for sharing Takumi, Now I'm sold on getting it. have you played any of the DVD's yet? hows the quality? question  

[Kamen Rider G]

that is cool  

[Kiriyama Ren]

I'm not a sucker for limited edition stuff.
But these silver belt buckles. I couldn't resist.  

[Kamen Rider G]

man those are sweet sadly I wouldn't be able to wear them cause of my gut  

[inui takumi]

I suddenly have this funny memory of an ebay seller called sunriserrx, who would sell copies of all the rider movies using stock photos of the covers for the picture (luring suckers into beliving they were getting the actual official release). He would get neg's from his buyers after they would pay out well over $65.00 and receive a plain copied DVD shipped in a standard envelope (according to his victims). At least the HK bootleggers would go to the trouble of putting photocopied covers in generic DVD cases.

What always made me laugh hysterically was how the retard (in his extremely vague descriptions) would always manage to state "all titles are public domain" which I'm sure is true... In fantasy land rofl

When I lived in America, I used ebay to cure my rider fix since I could not find anything good in the stores. I'm glad those days are over.

Any of you people ever have a strange experience on ebay? Dealing with a real jerk or running across anything blatantly fake?

I have some stories to tell, thats for sure.

To Ren: Looks like a good score, I never heard of those before. Great deal considering their age and rarity. I got all the Faiz and most of the Ryuki Hong Kong specials. They usually like to coat things in gold or silver unless it's a figure, in that case they appear to love to re-release those in clear see-thru versions rolleyes

Well, I seem to recall getting some weird messages while doing some figure purchasing. But, nothing too unusual.

When I bought my Kick/Punch Hopper belt I did ask about the wear and tear since it said it was used, though they didn't say what the condition was. It turned out to be like new with a few scuff marks on the paint. I think he could have sold it for more actually.

Though my other two belts (superbest OOO and W) were new, I got belt extenders for them and there were some strange responses from them. Nothing overly unusual, just a little strange.

As for using E-bay, I combine E-bay with a few other websites. I also only purchase from people with at least 100 feedback. Just because you never can be too sure if they're trustworthy without a decent amount of feedback.  

[inui takumi]

I got a few exclusives back then that were beat to hell and the sellers would always blame the HK post. I would polity inquire about replacement or refund which of course they would refuse. It never failed, naturally they would pull that whole "feedback hostage" bullsh1t so I could not leave them an "unjustified" neg unless I was prepared to get one in return out of spite.

I was immensely sour toward dealing with the Hong Kongers, Until I met this guy:

[Agito Geist]

Those belts are amazing eek and very tempting. I've never purchased anything on eBay before. I normally like to stick with Amazon, just because of what Takumi is taking about mad I don't want to get ripped off. I would be extremely pissed if I was misled into paying a lot for nothing. Although if the guy is well talked about, I may reconsider.. maybe

I've made my goal this year to finally get a Kiva driver. I almost settled for the arkkiva driver, but I hate that its so plain compared to Kivatt xd
