    In Yen, is it 10,565 + 1,200?

    With today's exchange rate, it's about 106 USD for me.

    That's the funniest thing in the world. I am in California and yet your shipping is cheaper.

    Every time I've ordered from Japan it comes through New York.
    Not sure if that makes a difference.

    Well in a positive light, the price dropped on this guy to 10,500. He’s back on my preorder list for a price that is close enough to what I wanted to spend.

    Possibly for the Tokyo Toy Show exclusive in 2019. Here's hoping.

    Did AJP have an earlier release date than the end of October?
    Only asking because where I ordered him from has always had an end of October release date.

    Lord help me, I am actually considering it. Just to get the toy head, (with the detailed shins as a bonus).
    Because the toy head for Tracks (Loudpedal) has never been available in any other way than buying the repaint. All these years later I am still hoping somebody makes a cast or offers a Dr Wu type toy head for Tracks, but nope. Nothing. And I want one so damn bad. And I feel like it's gonna be the same way for Sunstreaker.
    Maybe best to wait for the Red one. His color will match (yellow 'ears') and I wont have to paint it.

    I just tried to make a new order with this guy and BW Megatron and although the combined shipping is cheaper, it bothers me that AJP would bump the price on BW Megatron by a small amout to offset some of the shipping cost.

    How do I know? I have 2 different orders. One with just Megatron and the other one containing this guy and Megatron.

    If your order of only Megatron is from a while ago it may be because they dropped the price at some point and he's stuck at that price, not what they're asking for Megatron at the moment.

    Nope, because afterwards I tried making another SINGLE order of Megatron and guess what price I got.

    Huh, that's strange. I'm not entirely familiar with Amazon JPs ordering system, I'm in the process of getting to know it better by ordering more and more stuff there. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in

    Don't follow, the price up Megatron is up a little 23,722 <23,969.

    I just added a SOC to the cart and it didn't change.

    I think this is a case where "individual results may vary".

    No problem man ;)  Trust me, I've interacted with a lot of systems in the past where the result would be "huh". I was traveling in Europe one time and I got a cheaper price by buying a longer distance ticket and just getting off the train at the location I wanted as opposed to buying a ticket with my original destination as the final destination.

    Could be a bug?
