    Takara never sold the two Amazon Siege sets.

    I have to get Shrute and Fracus .... I could care less about SkyWarp .. Terrerdactyl is Meh...but I wouldnt turn it down... actually Ive been putting out there that Im looking for G1/G2 and BW Gestalt bots/parts in trade for a GS Seacon ?... but Ive considered trying to find some one willing to break up the set and trade the Spare Lobklaw( Naugtilater) I have for them instead ?.. Idk what to do tbh... I lost my Car Robots Baldigus and Buildking about a year back and need to track those down to in some degree as well? .. but Yeah, Shrute MUST be had in order to complete my Spinister ... I wished Has/Tak had created at least one more Humanoid BM ... to break up the monotony that is 2 bots and a set of different limbs.... and that be it as far as Clasic Target Masters go ... Idk why they didnt at least release or alter the beautiful designs TT created for the TR figures they released ? Either way the bright side is at least we got these ... Quite a few TM's are missing and Im so glad im a Decepticon fan otherwise Id be royaly pissed. Lol.

    Hopefully they produce a lot of these so it can tank the prices on Ebay.

    Except it's not. Most online services give the following options for payment:

    - Credit/Debit card.
    - Cash on delivery (to your house)
    - Cash on delivery (at a convenience store, after delivery to your house)
    - Cash on delivery (both to and at a convenience store).

    Almost every regular and online Japanese shop (that accepts credit cards) accepts Japanese Visa-Debit cards, but not Takara Tomy Mall.

    Thus, Takara is in the minority when it comes to offering a full (and normal) payment system in Japan.

    Yes, but instead, we're left with with a product that Hasbro has coated them in ugly "cr@pple damage" paint instead.

    but but the guy doesn't even live in Japan, he knows more than you and I who live here for many many years. You should stop using logic and actual experience.

    It\'s nice to see everything from the us release included in this, it gives me reassurance that even if the coneheads don\'t come back in stock on amazon they\'ll be available in Japan.

    How long does it usually take for these to hit BBTS or other online stores besides the Takara mall?

    I thought the preorders go up within a day or so after the announcement/reveal. I emailed Thechosenprime to see if they're going to carry it but I didn't get a reply yet.

    ...Did you just reply to the post predicting someone who doesn't live in Japan defending crappy Japanese practices to the people living in Japan with that exact thing?

    This is hilarious because we knew it was going to a Phantomstrike repack even before the teaser image and that image basicall gave away who it was supposed to be.... I mean holy smokes, how did people miss the memo

    I didn't pull the trigger on Warpy early enough so I'm half tempted to get this one even though it's probably still gonna be an overpay compared to Amazon.
    To be honest I'd take Sunstorm in either or both molds but Siege makes more sense (and to be honest I still feel it has the better looking bot mode).

    Agreed. I just cant bring myself to paying scalper prices. Hopefully online stores will have pre orders up soon.
