 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
I was just giggling at the Bitches fig ad. Click on the green cat and have the site on engrish to get the "New hot chicks get ready for XXX!"

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
I really liked the two first two they came out with in that line (the blue and pink color schemes were awesome), but to be honest the name just totally turned me off. Just seems unnecessarily crass, at least to me.

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
I have to get the new Bitches. I think they are some of the best KT exclusive toys around.

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
Well, hell. They got me for a fortune cat and some other assorted RxH figs. So much for "just browsing."  I hope I have lucky new spring!

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
I don't like it either.
I find the site very confusing with all the connections to Gomu Taro & Odoru.
The latest arrivals section has lost the RSS function listing which was quite handy...
And worst of all as some of you have pointed out, the out of stock items have disappeared. KT was until now a real good ressource on soft-vinyl items that were released these last 3 years...
Not to mention that you could ask them to keep an eye on some out of stock item for you (even though they never found one from my list though...).
Hopefully I managed to gather the pics of the items I am interested in for future reference...

I used to get more personal emails from him when I placed an order, and this time I just got a straight invoice... was wondering if he has gone. I personally like the new design. If they purged all the old pics I'll miss those, but I did find it frustrating looking through pages and pages of a company just to find that everything was sold out. I noticed that a few things they had buried in the old site sold out on the first day of the new design, so it is probably a good business move as well.

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
I'm glad they got rid of the old pics. Now I don't have to sit and weep at all the toys that I'll never get.

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
The 'new' site is definately harder to navigate ... I'm curious if this new design will bring more frequent updates.

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
You know, KT has this crazy new invention called a "search engine". Type in V-color & see what happens.

Type in V-color & see what happens. there is also an invention called a message board and someone else that already knows the answer can just tell me what i want to know. u can also see the old solid website is still up, but there isn't necessarily a way to access it from the regular site, which means it could be defunct or leftovers. now i do see that there is still a navigation button on the left (V color,Others)

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
I think they are getting crushed in setting up the website. One of my orders just took a week to ship out after payment.
I would e-mail them if you want to know whether previously available items are or will be in stock.
If anyone noticed, there is a webstore for Kai-zine now...

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
The new site is so unwieldy, difficult to navigate, and user unfriendly I stopped checking their stock daily.
Its very rare I even bother to see if there's anything new. The new KT set up is so awful its as if they want to lose customers.

There's some nice changes to the site. But overall, it sucks balls. I hate having to change it to English every time. And it feels like everything loads super slow now.

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
New sites take time to work out. I guess there's not too many people left that remember the original Super7 webstore.

 Re: Kaiju-Taro no more...
yeah on the old s7 site-page after page after page. a person could get lost in all that toy goodness. the new kt site, not so much. here's hoping they make it more user friendly. today was the first time i've gone back after the change. and i can't say that i'm any more impressed, in fact it just reinforces the fact that i'm mourning the old site's easy navigation.
