Ys Figure Collection

[DjShini]

Does anyone know what the difference is between Atelier-Sai and Cafereo? I know Atelier-Sai are the ones who are coming out with the figures, but I'm wondering if that makes Cafereo the equivalent to a SonMay or Everanime Product,ya know, a "bootleg" of an action figure as SonMay is a bootlegger of Anime and VGM cd's.
BTW, this may have had a lot of people confused, but many sites that have this collection listed keep putting up that it comes w/ 6 figures and one secret figure, but then at the end it says a total of 8 figures come in the collection. This has confused me to no end!!! RPGFan lists it correctly but then since the source page is in Japanese, what help is that to a Japanese illiterate US dude.
Oh, BTW, if people just can't seem to find or figure out where to get them, you can ask me to get them for you, I got my own sources to buy them from. Shoot, I could wholesale order them and you guys could buy them from me ^_^.....PLEASE!!! lol. Actually, I'm serious.
I put the above Q's collected from various people who seemed to have a problem with trying to find the details on the Collection. I, myself, am not confused. I just posted it here so those others can find the answer for themselves on this page, if anyone cares to answer.

Are these already out???
I'm gonna be in Japan on the 29th of April. I guess I can hunt for hobby shops there. If you have a link or something PM me.
Thanks.

Hey, while you're in Japan, buy some stuff for me ya?!
j/k, but it would be cool to have someone buy stuff in Japan, come back, and ship it to me. I've been dying to go. Been looking for VGM OST's, Bleach anime, etc... but it's probably in some shop in Japan never to see the light of day in the US.
ARGGHHH!!!!

I've never been there before so I don't know what to expect. I figure it shouldn't be too hard to find this kinda stuff since I'll be in Shinjuku. While OST's are around, Bleach I think is fairly new and probably hasn't been officially released on video yet. I could be wrong.
I found a site for the figures. It looks like they will be out at the end of march but one site lists them as being released April 20th.
They do look pretty damn sweet tho.

Well, actually, I've seen Bleach available on some sites, but I wonder if anything special comes with them if you buy them in Japan, they tend to save the good stuff there .
the figures do look pretty neat, but have you noticed that most item descriptions for the Figure Collection say that it contains 6 random figures and 1 secret figure, but when it states the number of items in the collection, it says 8!!! What's up with that?!?

[ichibanrei]

The way I understand it is, 6 figures 1 secret and 8 peices total. Maybe the secret figure has a base? I guess when they say that the whole thing is 8 peices, they could be counting the box

Actually here it says it a bit more clearly....
The mini figure made from PVC. PC game "Ys" character.
Lineup is 6 normal item + 1 secret item. 3 type color variation.
8-pieces-assorted (Note: Contents cannot be chosen. Moreover it all may not gather.)
expected shipping date : late April

here it says secret item.... I guess it's not a figure after all. Damn it! I wonder what it is. It'd be cool if it was that yellow snoopy Adol turns into in book 2.
