Don't you have five or ten Destroyers you got for cheap that you can flip? I remember you saying you got a bunch when TCP messed up the price.
Oh yeah, that was the latest Big Powered release ... I was mostly being facetious, but I did grab a few extra copies given the great deal ... they honored the initial price w/o any bs, gotta tip my hat to TCP, that was a classy move ... they’ll make up the difference n repeat biz from me, I promise
Anyone got the story on what's happening with this one at Kapow? I've had Dasher from Anime Export for a month now and still no invoice from Kapow. Still I didn't get an invoice when Moonbase Buffalo came into stock apparently and that's now Sold Out so that's not a guarantee it's not arrived these days I suppose........
No idea, I asked them a few weeks ago and they said they were expecting it the next week. I got one from Amazon Japan now to make sure I didn't miss out.
Here's the email I had two weeks ago I believe nobody distributes these in the UK and suspect the person replying had confused them with a Transformers toy - Very Happy to be corrected on this one though. They should have been imported from Asia. I do rather need the one I had on order to be here as a Christmas present to me, I thought a 2 month window should be long enough. Just fired them an email for clarification if it will be here, if not I'll have to cancel :-(
any thoughts on the best place to order the shadow colored trivers guys? I decided I want them, but the 150 bbts is charging is a bit out of control for me.
The TTM exclusive items are only sold on TTM in Japan so there won’t be any shops with the deep preorder discounts. So you’ll need to find a domestic retailer, an international retailer, or wait for a second hand shop in Japan to maybe get them in.
The BBTS price is actually pretty good when you factor in how much it would cost to use a service like FromJapan to buy from TTM and ship it to the states. TTM price is around $120. BBTS is only $30 more... plus only $4 shipping. For a TTM exclusive, that's not bad at all.
I went with RK for the shadow-dasher, came out to 124.61 USD. The tax is what always prevents me from buying these guys from a domestic source. One of my shoulder demons is telling me to order the shadow jetter as well. I have tridriller on preorder through AmazonJP, waiting to see how this experience goes before I put the big boss bug on preorder. With the way the world is heading my bet is amazon shipments don't even go through customs lol. I received my DA-43 the other day but I realized I needed to take a break from opening anything new. The bugs take a different kind of mentality to enjoy their play value, just a little too stressed right now to appreciate it.
Wow, they either dropped their shipping prices or added new options. Last few times I checked this year shipping was around the $45 - $50 on average. Huh.
I'm ready to cash out on most of my Diaclone Reboot stuff, so $450 shipped in the US will get you my DA-17 and DA-18. I'll also entertain offers from the general audience for anything DA-01 up to the early 30s.
I was looking at my spreadsheet of what I spent on Diaclone in 2018 versus 2019 and it ended up that this year wasn't even close to a third of the previous year. Definitely slowing down and will probably quit after I get DA-48 (that price... ouch) and DA-50 (thank goodness for Amazon Japan and their pre-order discount). One thing I wouldn't do is sell what I have. I know for a fact that I would regret it, so instead of adding to the collection, I will enjoy the plethora of goodies I have and be satisfied.
I'll hold onto a few pieces, but I don't feel the need to keep everything or chase after all the new stuff (except for a "extra finish" Warudaros whenever TT gets around to it).
Probably the cost. A Battle buffalo with 6 raid chambered suits makes a radical hauler with an even more radical price tag ($150+$40*6=$390), then you realize it can haul an infinite chain of buffalo and chambers.... I'm sure a lot more folks would like to collect these but they would have to make a compromise between other interests. I'm fully dedicated at this point. Anyone have the hobby magazine with the sticker pack they can sell me?
