Considering that I still haven't got my Harryhausen Triceratops, supposedly releasing last December, I don't have great expectations for the Cyclops to appear any time soon...

It definitely got delayed but mine just came in on BigBadToyStore so it'll be soon.

Yeah, since I posted the question I've received word that shipments are starting to go out of Asia. Weeks still to go, but hopefully not too far into the summer.

Ordered the new Sakai 91. Will be my first new X Plus in a few years. I got standard through Awesome Collector. I was checking on channels for acquiring the Godzilla Store Exclusive but it looks like even middle man sites are going to have a hard time getting it. Only shipping to one address per household in Japan. Going to be a Purple Shin Godzilla situation all over again. Anyway, looking forward to it! December release date so quite a ways off.

Man, hobbysearch opened preorders for the standard Sakai ‘91 yesterday and they’re already sold out. I’ve been on the fence on this one (I want it, but I’ve already got a lot on preorder and I’m not sure I want to plunk down the cash), but I was keeping my eyes out for preorders at the usual places. Snooze and lose I guess.

Yeah, I know. I was more lamenting the fact that it’s selling very fast and I wanted more time to decide whether or not to commit (and plan what I might sell to offset the cost).

Is Diamond (or anyone) still releasing/reissuing X-plus stateside? Or is it all imports and x-plus distributing to us sellers directly?

With the US Ric site I believe they don't see the need for a middleman anymore. That's probably why the Famous Monsters deal fell through.

I think these days with how quickly Godzilla toys sell (not just X Plus but also SHMA) that you have to place an order quicker rather than later. I don't mind buying these because if I later regret and want to sell these hold their value pretty well so I won't lose money.

How's Xplus still not announcing their GVK figures even when the movie is now showing in Japan?? Literally every other vendors have done their reveals by now and I highly doubt Covid is the main reason. Have we got any update on that yet?

Is it really already showing in Japan? Didn’t it get delayed indefinitely?

In any case, I presume the X-Plus figures will be announced in the first week of June. Xplus would be foolish not to release a Kong with axe or Mechagodzilla 2021 figures. Those would be huge money makers!

I still wanna grab MV Rodan but I've been spending all my extra money grabbing the Singular Point vinyls.

Heard from someone who said 29th of May for Japan but I guess it's not happening any more? Regardless it still doesn't make much sense for XPlus to latch onto the movie's release date since there's no surprises any more. I really don't know what their marketing team is thinking.

Anyone else holding out hope for a specific figure from X-Plus? I really want an X-Plus Ghidorah, but because of the size and cost any Ghidorah will demand, I will only buy an X-Plus Grand King Ghidorah, my favorite incarnation. Anyone else in the same boat holding out for something?

Edit: Deforeal MechaGodzilla '75 is starting to hit. Just got notification from HLJ that mine is in.

A new 30cm Gigan would be nice. The original is way to small compared to the 30cm Megalon and Mechagodzilla. Megaguirus would be sick, I'd love a Little Godzilla, and of course waiting for the inevitable Singular Point figures to drop.

Definitely want a Gigantic Mecha Godzilla 2021, but man I got a feeling something's gone wrong in this company for delaying the GVK figures for so long.

Dang, glad I bit the bullet and ordered it a couple days ago. I think Sideshow still has it available. Not sure about other stores.

And an update posted at the link says the Harryhausen Cyclops will be arriving late July. I suppose that is a realistic date with international shipping such a mess right now, but I was hoping it would be a little sooner.
