    Huh? Wait, why would you have to wait? You're in the US like me so I don't know what's stopped you from receiving this back in February for $60 shipped backed up with great customer service (Amazon Japan).

    Not everybody wants to enable the next Walmart.

    Anyway, when I preordered MP-20+, there was no mention of Hasbro anywhere. Hasbro really left a bad taste in my mouth with their shenanigans when I was trying to order wholesale so I don't deal with them unless I have to. Their involvement with this release is practically a bait and switch that I don't appreciate.

    Ooookay. Welp, you know there are other Asian dealers who offer comparable prices and shipping speeds to AJ, just seems you're determined to pay marked up prices through Western retailers "because reasons" as you say.

    Nippon Yassan? Amiami? Anime Export? Doesn't always need to be Amazon.

    TFSource has had it in stock for ages and they’re based in the USA?

    That’s a weird perspective - it’s saying that you want to support a smaller company, but if they’re really really good, and others support them too, and they grow because of that support, you would want to stop doing business with them because other people had your same idea?

    Hey guys - do a great job, just not a really great job, or I’ll go somewhere else.

    You're assuming that I think Amazon does a great job. They've shipped damaged goods, they've dragged their feet for months on "in stock" items, and they were hell to deal with as a seller (especially loved having delivery confirmation tossed because HE TELL ME). I'm sorry if you have to squeeze every penny but I don't mind paying more for better service elsewhere.

    Sorry you chose to pay more through a slower source. Enjoy your better service though. Meanwhile, i'll be enjoying my MP20+

    I appreciate your apology, that’s very kind of you, but I hardly need to squeeze anything. I choose my sources based on who gives the best service. Amazon Japan has consistently delivered my toys in perfect condition and in the shortest amount of time. It just so happens that they also have the lowest prices and the lowest shipping charges.

    I have never had 1 issue with them, and of the few who i have spoken to who have had issues, they have been dealt with fairly, quickly, and nicely - you just can’t ask much more than that.

    Those characteristics will earn my business each and every time.

    Same, im in Canada and Amazon JP has by far been my favorite place to deal with (tied with Amiami). Toy buying from them is very painless

    Per EE, the figure is now arriving in May. Don't know what is going on with this figure, but don't need it that badly and am very close to just cancelling altogether.

    EE will say anything to make a sale or stall a cancellation so take that with a mountain-sized grain of salt.

    The uneven delay is just weird. I'm not ready to mete out punishment by cancelling my preorder. But I do want to know if this is going to be the new normal.

    It looks like it’s BBTS, too though so I am inclined to believe its more of a Hasbro NA issue

    Does anyone know what type of white paint I should use for touch-up work? Mine has a small drop of green paint on the toe. Will any white gloss acrylic work?

    I couldn't tell you, but if you ask in the Radicons section, those folks are geniuses with these things - they'll know the answer.

    Looks like it probably won't make May either.

    I hate to ask because I figure if I'm asking, then a whole lot of other people have been for some time already. Brand homogenization has not worked out well for me on any level. Everything costs more and takes longer to show up.
