    Nice Bot overall, I still like Sunsurge though. I'll wait for the KO, $120 plus shipping is a little steep for what you get since normally car bots range $70-$90 from Takara

    Meh, I felt it was worth the $80 shipped and received before new years to upgrade from Sunsurge. And I am still keeping Sunsurge!

    I got it for $83 shipped in mid December but prices have gone up since supplies are being sold. I think it’s now around $95-100 to the US.

    Use Chrome and at the bottom of Amazon Japan, you’ll see a World icon and a Japan Icon. Click on the World and Chrome translates to English for you.

    I've been using Amazon Japan for about a year or so and I only found out about that option about 2 weeks ago. I think that's actually Amazon's settings though as it also updates email preferences . I was using the Google translate. Did the job but then I got some emails I couldn't understand when something weird was going on with my credit cards a couple of weeks ago.

    That's the only issue I've found, sometimes your bank will think your card number has been stolen and try to protect you. A quick phone call sorts that out :)

    Maybe you’re right. Amazon and Google are just awesome so they are almost one in the same to me. I went the PayPal route to pay them and didn’t have any issues.

    Can you get 3P MPs from Amazon Japan?

    you'll need to create a new one but you can use the same email address if you want. Prime doesn't carry over so you don't get any benefits from being a prime member here in the USA.

    Haven’t thought to try. I think 3p would be better bought from Taobao or Aliexpress.

    very hard to give a concrete reply on this as I don't think Amazon themselves sell any 3P, as such the decision would vary from seller to seller and most do NOT ship to the USA from experience.

    Short answer, probably not!

    Well. I now have Takara's Sunstreaker. What a figure!

    I almost put my Sunsurge on ebay. Got as far as getting my camera out to take the pics. But do you know what? I couldn't do it! Sunsurge is still a great figure! What was I thinking? Done this many times before with other figures. X-Transbots Megatron. Maketoys Hellfire and Wrestle. All of them went to ebay. There is something about Sunsurge though that stops me following the pattern. I just cannot let him go.......
