    That is what is strange. They never notified me about the charge issue, just that they were canceling the order. I never got an email notice about overlord either, I noticed just on a random site check and they tried to charge me $39 shipping when I tried to put the order through. My original shipping charge was $8. So canceling that they probably threw a tantrum this time. No big deal, hopefully FT Hoodlum will be my TM HotRod.

    I got an email from Amazon JP saying that my card couldn’t be charged and I have 6 days to update the info. If I don’t they’ll cancel the order without my permission.

    The email was completely in Japanese and I had to translate it. Did you get anything similar?

    Edit: just saw your above message after posting mine.

    They offer customer support in English. I’ve used their chat support using English. So it’s not like you guys can just say no big deal and walk away. There’s disappointment. It is a big deal but would rather not say that. So strap up some Cojones and talk to them today get your orders going. Been there done that with Amazon Japan. Don’t defeat yourselves.

    We guess even Amazon can be weird at times!! Hopefully I won't have any issues with Dinobot!

    My TM Hot Rod is in my stash at Anime Export, just need to get the funds together to pay shipping, lol. It's going to be painful as I have a LOT incoming

    Wow. Granted I preordered already, but did not think I wanted it as much as I do now.

    Thought the different color on the shins was the sheen off the lighting, but it's painted.

    Now the wait from Captured Prey...

    Looks like they didn't try to paint over where the sprue marks were at this time. Atleast that's why I hope Im seeing those orange spots.

    Fantastic figure. Definitely one for the TFNation shopping list, unless I pick it up before.

    Huh. I actually like him a lot more than I expected to. I hate the white underwear, but I love the pink legs, pink head crest, and deeper wine-colored base red.

    I was planning on waiting to see if this guy went on clearance, but now I'm thinking I might pick him up earlier rather than later.

    Yikes, whilst I know the official pictures and some pictures in general don\'t do MP figures justice when you actually have them in hand, I am now reconsidering my pre-order for this figure. The paint job just doesn\'t look as good as it initially did, and that comes from a massive fan of The Rebirth to which this paint job is based on. A massive fan of as after G1 stopped running on TV I only had access to 3 TF VHS\'s until the DVDs came out, the one with The Big Broadcast and Call of the Primitives and the one with The Rebirth trilogy which I both owned, and the Desertion of the Dinobots double-bill on rent from the now defunct Xtra-vision.

    Finding out that the targetmaster is actually the exact same as MP-09 is great as I already own the Hasbro version and the Takara v2 one meaning all along I could have made my Takara v2 Hot Rod a Targetmaster, and without need to buy a figure which I now have doubts on. Don\'t know why I never tried it. Though it is great news for those who don\'t own the v1 as it is a great targetmaster figure and I\'m glad they didn\'t dumb down his articulation for the post MP-10 line.

    Edit: Having said that, and only reinforcing my initial statement, just seen the comparison pictures above with v2 Hot Rod and to be honest v2 Hot Rod doesn't look that good in them either, which is contrary to v2 Hot Rod in person, so I might keep my pre-order hoping that Hot Rod is simply just not that photogenic.

    Someone actually beat Type-R. ;) 

    Surprised that his tech specs are the original 9186 version's rather than the TM version like the TM reissue and the Legends figure.

    Oh wow. I pre-ordered this on a whim, so happy I did the colors look amazing in comparison.
