Hi. It was referring to Anime Export. They have some of the best prices on Takara Transformers figures when you preorder before their deadlines. But you do have to pay upfront. I've only started ordering from them about a month ago, but what I've heard of them from other members is pretty good.

Hello,

I was reading your post about AD-01 Optimus Prime and you remarked that you were going to order it from "AE" before a pre-order deadline. Please forgive my ignorance but what is the abbreviation "AE" stand for? I see it popping up more and more but cannot decipher what it is. Thank you in advance for answering my question.
