    I'd suggest using a proxy service that'll handle the purchase of the item and get it shipped to you. There's additional fees involved, but it'll at least solve the domestic shipping-only problem. I've used White Rabbit Express with good results, and I know From Japan and ZenMarket are also popular.

    Soooooo, does this mean more like a bundle of the six individual packages? If thats the case, then I'm just gonna keep my pulse preorders.

    I knew they would do this!

    How much is that in US dollars? I’m asking because this might be my Christmas present to myself, but I’m sort of watching out how much I spend.

    Remember, this isn't a box set. It's just selling all six as a lot.

    I need to decide soon on whether or not I'll be keeping my pre-orders for this set, as next month is supposedly when the first two are going to be released.

    I need to make a decision also. I missed out on the Pulse preorder of Snaptrap and Skalor (Gulf). Wondering if i should wait or cancel my preorder of the other 4 Seacons and try to get this set.

    I hope not. The legendary Takary Tomy quality has been anything but for me.

    Yes and no... I'm burnt out from buying stuff in general. But by mid February I'm sure my drive for hunting Transformers will be back which is around the time that Earthrise figures might start popping up in other Countries. I'm only getting 5 out of the 6 Seacon's So a couple here and there will hold me over until Wave 1 of Earthrise does show up in the US (which I'm only buying 3 or 4 of).

    LOL! Between that and people being slick by returning SIEGE boxes to retail with old version's of the characters in them. I'm not saying I'd do it, but I understand.

    NOTE: And if they make a Small Deluxe set of the Predacon's like they did CW Devastator then I'm on it!

    Its not even that i cant afford the seacons given enough time. Its just that the window avalibility has always been so damn short. I really wish takara had just released the whole set as a normal release Unite Wariors set and been done with it. Having them be individuals just makes it that much more complicated for no reason.

    Haha yeah! I would love some deluxe predacons. I couldent get behind the smallening for Devastator. But i wouldent mind it with Predaking

    Um..... The Prices, the limited supply, the exclusivity, the fact that TAKARA TOMY Mall knows this and are now opportunistically selling all 6 at an even higher rate to those who desperately want them. So they can't get too mad when 3P swoops in with KO version's that aren't much different to save the day....

    Just saying.

    I'd have bought the Small set of Constructicons just for the scale while keeping my Takara set permanently combined as Devastator IF the individual figures were made like Takara's (Scrapper having bendable arm) and not CW's. The PotP Predacon set was just a big disappointment to me. Skipped it hoping it would show up at Ollies at reasonable price. But oh well.

    As for the window of Seacon's availability, I believe that was all part of Takara Tomy's marketing plan. So if a 3P company releases a KO version for a 3rd the cost or even less. Then Kudos to them.
