    $139, that's very tempting. Are you getting it?

    I have a 3rd party Gold Optimus Prime that I much prefer to this one as it has far less of the cheap looking plastic.

    So...is it possible for any one of us to preorder the Starscream via TTM?

    Yeah, although as they only ship within Japan you will need to sign up to a proxy shipment service (I’ve used Tenso in the past and they are great).

    They provide you with a Japanese address to input into the TTMall website, then they forward the package onto you for a fee.

    Is the Starscream figure not coming to Hong Kong suppliers like RK?

    There were a few days between the Perceptor three-pack preorders going live and their first appearance on RK.

    Starscream only went up for order on TTMall over the weekend - maybe he’ll be listed on RK by midweek?

    He's not up for preorder on Takara Tomy Mall if that helps.

    I thought I saw a tweet from a Transformers new site saying he and Prime were up now. Maybe they saw the Prime one go up and mistook that for both?

    I don’t post on here often, but I’m a Prime/Convoy completionist, so just pre-ordered from RobotKingdom. I’m sure there will be some eBay, but for less than $200 to have it shipped to the US, I couldn’t say no to that.

    I'm pretty sure there will be eBay too... And I'm pretty sure they will be way more than the $200 you're paying. I'm hoping on my usual suspects for Starscream but if not I may also have to take the arghhhh RK shipping fees.

    It is more than I paid for my KO MP10 gold, FAR less than my MP1G and it’s legit Takara. I have passed up on pre-orders and regretted it as I ended up paying higher than sticker price, like MP4 Sleep Mode, and given the apparent exclusivity of this, I couldn’t pass up on this one.

    Popped for the preorder. I’d rather get one locked in versus scrambling later.

    Man...even at $124 shipped, I can't pull the trigger for the Autobots set.

    Yeah, basically money + time + MUCH more money = MP1G.

    She is the pride of my collection. Only the VSX set will rival it someday.

    You probably mean "now up" not "not up". Since I preordered him yesterday. :)
