Does anyone normally purchase these through BBTS?

Want to surprise my husband with the FF VII ones, but looks like Tifa & Aerith pre-orders are sold out.

Wondering if these usually convert to stock once they eventually arrive, or quantities are usually smaller just to fulfill pre-orders?

My apologies, I know absolutely nothing about Bring Arts 😊

@andru 

I can't speak for bring arts specifically, but typically once the "Pre-Order processing soon" email gets sent out you'll see a lot of cancellations on BBTS. So there's a chance you'll be able to get an order in. Best of luck

@drawingturtle Thank you for the insight!

EDIT: I was able to grab Aerith from BBTS. Just have to check periodically. Early mornings seem to be the best bet.

I think I have seen everyone but Tifa switch between "pre-order" and "sold out"...

Once again, Cait Sith is going to be a large figure. I just got to his part in Rebirth and keep getting excited about his figure every time he pops up. Too bad it’s about a full year away *if* it stays on schedule.

I was going to go back for Aerith, Cloud, and Tifa, but it looks like Aerith is sold out. Bummer.

I'd prefer them in their Remake designs anyway, but I'm not willing to buy a set of 10" figures.

@tsi I imagine once they’re in stock there’ll be more available. 

Speaking of which, got an email this morning that my Amazon Japan order for her got moved up to around April 20th. If Barret and Clive/Torgul still hit in April from Amiami, that’s gonna be an expensive month.

Hmm. Or maybe you’ll have a chance to order her on Amiami. They just put up Cloud and Tifa for pre order for July/August. $78 a piece, no mention of NFTs. Amiami never had any of the first three for sale. If they fixed Cloud’s hips somehow, I’d be tempted to grab another.

I need them to put my girlfriend Aerith up to truly make it worth it, but I think I'll get a pre-order in just to be safe.

My Aerith just shipped from Amazon Japan. My Barret is in stock at Amiami but it’s waiting until Clive/Torgul come in stock.

So Amazon Japan cancelled my preorder about a month ago...only to have it readily available for order this morning.

Very strange. I re-ordered. Hoping I get it now.

I have Aerith and Tifa on the way from Nin-Nin. Was hoping to get Barret in that shipment but he's coming separately. If there are no delays the team should be assembled pretty quick at this rate

Got Tifa & Cloud from BBTS. 

Only opened Tifa so far, and overall I think she is a decent figure. No ankle rockers is a HUGE fumble.

Definitely not worth the price...

Bah. Just got an email that Clive and Torgal are delayed until May. I don’t think I’ve ever had a delay from Amiami this late into the scheduled release month. I wouldn’t mind if it got delayed again until June to hopefully ship with Sephiroth and save me the shipping money.

But more annoyed that I could’ve had Barret from them a while ago if they’d just delayed the Clive set sooner.

So I thought Nin-Nin was sending me Tifa and Aerith however Tifa and Barret showed up.

Barret is huge! Articulation is surprisingly good if on the slightly loose side. Lots of movement in the ball joint at the waist. Ankles are ratcheted which is a nice surprise (they feel like the joints on the Chocobo release.) I really wish a yelling face was included, seems like a big miss here.

Side note, anyone notice Bring Arts having a strong paint smell? I don't notice it nearly as much on other lines

A-are we back?

Because it’s been a bloodbath for my wallet since we last Fwooshed. Aerith, Barret, Clive, and Torgal all showed up in the span of a few weeks. All cool figures, just so expensive.

That being said, bring on Sephiroth in June.
