I am for releasing it this holiday season. A down payment would be no problem. I am interested again in an exclusive set.

This year! Whole set! I've got the cash set aside already and can pay outright!
I hope you will email customers who bought the last set when this one becomes available for pre-order. I don't get to the boards that often and would hate to miss out on a limited run.

I agree with previous post, I'd like to see a third set next year. Hopefully with a Neko Ninja. (Requesting a Komori Ninja might be a bit of a stretch, eh?)

So no exclusive version of the set this time?
Have ordered the full set so I'm hoping there's no surprise exclusive release around the corner...

Thank Gaffey for letting us know.

Order made, thanks for the holiday discount (orders made before 12/31/10 get $50 off the $399 price). Thanks Ruku Toys!

Peace, maka

Yay!!!!

Well, I placed my order. While I'd love the full set, that's just not an option for me. I ordered "Armored Usagi" (Becasue how cool is that?!) and Lord Noriyuki (He's one of my faves). I wish he'd come with his liitle dog though, lol.

While I told myself I'd order Tomoe this time (as I couldn't afford her last time) I sady wasn't able to. I didn't expect the Usagi price to be that high, athough, I can see why it is. I will perhaps order her in the future if funds permit. Maybe if we get a Series 3?

The last week in Jan for shipping is a bit of a dissapointment. BUT by the time I get them in the UK, they may arrive middle of Feb? Just in time for my birthday, lol. So that's something to look foward too.

I also placed my order for the full set and I asked Roel per e-mail if there is only one edition this time. He gave me following answer.

Hi Joerg,

GREAT question! Rest assured that you are getting the "ultimate edition".

Rokutoys will only be producing a single edition for this series thus making it more scarce then the Series One statues. We're really glad you purchased it right away because this is a very limited run which we foresee selling out quickly.

We've gone to great lengths to design and produce some really awesome accessories for the figures. The armored Usagi is, by far, the favorite not only amongst the Rokutoys staff but also amongst everyone who had the opportunity to see the Series Two statues at San Diego Comic Con, including Stan! Excellent move on your part in ordering directly from Rokutoys. In doing so, you'll be receiving the bonus figure of Kitsune's sidekick, Kiyoko. Our other distribution channels will not be getting this awesome bonus figure since it will only be reserved for our hardcore fans.

Danke for your continued support,

Roel

Thanks for letting us know. I'm also relieved.

My only disappointment is the direction they've gone with Jei's severed head... I'm not a big fan of the blue beneath the skull. I liked the colours I'd seen in the previous prototype photos. It drew less attention to itself. Is this the final choice for colours?

It feels so wrong to have a complaint. I am truly grateful that we are geting these statues at all. I hope they sell well and that we get a series 3 (with a Neko Ninja). :D

Woohoo! I just ordered mine as well.

So to confirm, this order is for the exclusive one right?

I have been gone for a bit. I missed you guys.

There is no exclusive or normal edition this time, just one set overall for round two...
