I'm pretty sure that if you the item you want is not listed on the Amazon.co.jp otaku worldwide store search page, then you won't be able to have it shipped to your house. I've noticed that items show up and disappear from that search feature pretty often.
Looks like Amazon Japan is working at the moment with Shipping to the US. March 8, 3:12p Pacific. 11,222 Yen. YMMV, but good luck!
Everyone who uses Amazon Japan needs to contact them and ask why some Transformers are Amazon Global eligible and some aren't. Be polite. I just sent another email after a couple months and before I had someone staying in touch with me before finally admitting he couldn't get in touch with the department that sets it up. It's probably just a matter of a little checkbox or toggle to make it happen, but they ned to know that toys are eligible for Amazon Global now and we love their service and want to buy more!
Didn't work for me, either. Amazon JP has been nothing but frustrating in my recent experience. Nothing I seem to want is shippable to the US.
The item started with an offer with Free Shipping, a non starter in the first place, but now it's been changed to Standard Shipping but still no go
It's weird. Wasn't some of their stuff shippable to the US if you bought during the preorder but once it was come in stock it became available to Japan customers only?
Some things like MP Inferno, Primal, and Cheetor but not everything. Artfire, Godbomber, Primal's repaint, and now Trypticon won't ship to the US no matter what. It's even more puzzling because Artfire and Primal are remolds of figures that COULD be shipped globally.
I wonder if it's not really a "mold" reason why they don't ship to the US, and more just their quirky business shipping standards. The reason I say this is because I'll notice some sellers on the US Amazon side will offer Prime and sometimes they won't on certain products, obviously due to it being stored at a Amazon warehouse vs their own most likely. Just my 2 cents that I'm throwing it at there. Also thanks for the link.
It's not other sellers though. It's Amazon Japan. If the code has the right "flag" then it'll take you to this screen...
It is a strange situation right now. I would consider anything you can order from there a bonus at this point. This figure is going to make me really, really want a Stepper.
When does this guy release? May? I really like him, he looks a lot better than inferno, imo, color scheme is broken up and has more detail. I just don't want him to drop the same month as Skyfire though... Neither are very cheap.
