I have a pre-order from BBTS for this guy, but recalling him costing $149 + shipping (about $8.00 USPS)

are there cheaper options out there? I see several "in hand" sealed in box available on ebay....for less.

When are the BBTS ones expected to ship?

 

134.89 is the cheapest I found so far.

It's HERE

I have never purchased from this store so I can't give you any feedback on their business.

 

I'm putting an order through with them, I'll post to let you all know how this vendor is. Shipping was $12.70 for priority int.

 

TFSource has it a little cheaper. $144.95 for a C10 box, $139.95 for a C9 box (around $8 shipping).

BBTS and TFSource both expect it to arrive at their warehouses around March 30th or so, and would probably be shipping a few days to a week after that.

After a quick look on Ebay, the cheapest I found was $145 shipped from Hong Kong: Transformers G1 Masterpiece MP-08 MP 08 Grimlock MISB - eBay (item 270363926956 end time Apr-01-09 01:07:27 PDT)

 

I was hesitant to buy from some of those Hong Kong sellers because from what I recall, many of them don't have "in hand" - for all I know, it could be 3 weeks before they get it, then 2 more to get it to me...

 

Yeah, I usually just order from TFSource because most of the time they're the cheaper option than BBTS. Sometimes it takes a little longer for them to ship, but I love the packaging they include with all of their orders (which is great for MISB collectors).

 

buy bbts or the scource

 

BBTS or TFSource is the way to go. As others have said, TFSource may take a little longer, but their packaging is great. I just hate the wait.. so I go with BBTS, even though the prices there are generally a bit more.

 

I'm sticking with BBTS, even though the price is higher. For a big-ticket item like this, I'd rather deal with a company that has a history of good customer support, just in case. If I were just buying a Henkei figure, I would definitely order from Hong Kong to save a few bucks.

Plus, I have an item or two in POL.

 

I don't buy from BBTS anymore there are so many other options and their prices are just way to high.

 

Agreed. I buy pretty much all my expensive Transformers from BBTS. If there's a problem with the figure, they do everything in their power to fix it. I also have a few Henkei figures sitting in my POL as well.

As for the lowest price, Etoysjapan.com had the figure for a $110 + $22 shipping. But the preorder sold out a long while back.
