The figure is available for pre-order now and is slated for release in August.

August of 2019, not this coming August.

Yeah, definitely a fantastic figure, but I personally draw the line at 6 months when it comes to pre-orders, and even that is generally a stretch. I've been burned in the past by a myriad of complications - price drops/sales, move/vacation, production issues or scheduling problems. Personally, spending $200 on one figure means letting another one or possibly two sit on the sidelines while hoping that #1 doesn't end up cancelled or delayed. It's not a matter of whether I get the money back or not, it's about the effective use of money. Just my personal take on pre-orders. It'll probably burn me, seeing as how this figure will probably be sold out before the end of the month, forget managing to stick around until February or March of next year.

That feeling when Alter!Saber doesn't even have the Riding skill despite having her own motorcycle just like a certain "golden" Rider.

It would be a shame if they never had a license to begin with.

Well technically the one in Shinjuku is a saber class servant, but Saber Alter as a rider has B riding skill (also this rider version actually rides on her bike for her noble phantasm).
