Where did I insult a fellow fan first? "check out the world of actual premium collectibles sometime, because frankly Transformers fans don't yet know the meaning of the word" was in the post I replied to.

oh, I see... I wasn't responding to your post, I was responding to GizmoTron. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, when I flat-out call someone a presumptuous dick, I'm not trying to take the high road. I'm just taking the regular-ass road. LOL

 

In fairness to the people debating you, being 80% similar in overall looks and transformation scheme doesn't mean that this figure isn't 100% (or even more) complex in terms of parts count, engineering, etc. Just off the top, the mechanism for collapsing his backpack into the far more compact show model as well as giving him a full left hand probably adds more than 20% difference.

 

Do they need a special license to import purple T rexs with sharp teeth?

 

Yes, because every toyline features removable backpack pieces that can be reattached and still be a part of the transformation, that just happens all the time and doesn't increase parts count and costs like at all...

At least I'm not being a tool on a message board complaining about how toys cost too much but then turn around and still buy them all anyway.

The word TF fans don't know yet is "fucked", not "premium collectibles". It wasn't an insult to the fan, just his choice of whiny melodrama. You'd probably know that if you weren't so quick to take the chance at being the admitted ass that you forgot to read the entire post. But that's ok, I forgive you.

 

+1, especially regarding the removable parts

 

If I order through amazon.jp, do I get free shipping if I'm a prime member now, or when it ships. Dont really want to pay for membership if I'm just using it for this figure. Now I just have to figure out what the stuff that went translate says.

 

Unless you live in japan, no.

 

You can't use Amazon Japan Prime for free shipping in the States. You still have to use Amazon Global Mail, which is an additional fee.

It's still cheaper than what you're paying US retailers.

 

Ok never did it before. Will check out the shipping options. Thanks.

 

There are no options. Only one method. The best.

 

After looking at amazon.jp, I cant believe I haven't used it before. If nothing changes, I'll get Mp-43 for less than what I'm paying for Dinobot.

 

In Previews #360, Masterpiece Beast wars Megatron is being offered for $319.99.

It is scheduled to be shipped in February 2019.

So if you haven't ordered yours yet and you'd like your local Comic Shop to carry it, I'd let them know in the next week or two that you're interested.

 

Because I used Amazon JP for Dinobot, we'll never have that priviledge  

 

Ok too many threads on the same topics on this website. Anyhoo baloo. I was wondering if this would get a US release hoping the electronics are stripped to make it cheaper. Nope still too expensive. 319 american



lol fuck that.
COME ON KO!!! DO YOU THANG!

 

Well, I’m guessing this old thread will be locked soon.

Not sure what your point was in posting that.

 

Glad I pulled the trigger on him when he was $200. Goddamn.
