I'd be down for like half of these though half are just plain redundant IMO (IE AM TC and SG TC are kinda the same thing and ideally I do feel like the two Diaclone ones could just be toy accurate releases with sticker options but TT ALREADY showed they'd screw that opportunity with MP36+). Also marginally bummed that you put every version of the G2 Smokescreen mold in there but didn't a Dirge done as HFTD Jetblade :<

 

Wow!! That must have been a lot of work : )
I really like the seeker mold in Onslaught and Silverbolt colors. FFoD also had a Shockwave in Onslaught colors that looked great.

I lol'd at the G2 face with the tongue, that was such a weird panel. And the underbase version looks fantastic, although I would like to see an alternate head with only one side airvent as José Delbo never drew one on his left side (the animation model hid it behind the shoulder airdam so he probably figured it wasn't there) : P

 

Looks like it shows the button based on your location/main address and otherwise defaults to showing you the lowest offer. If you look for the listing while logged out you get the button to see all sellers.

 

Which is really odd, because those sellers, so far, don't ship to me  

 

"Here's the deal .............................................................."

 

Japanese market space sellers rarely ship overseas, but some have accounts on US amazon, but you'll pay double on some things.

 

So what's the deal, is the Amazon Japan golden age over? Did them reimbursing super expensive shipping for all those returned Hounds from abroad ruin it?

 

Still all as usual. Just pointing out that 3rd party amazon sellers usually only ship within Japan. That's why you see the "Cannot ship to to your address" with all the other sellers, if you live outside of Japan.

I can get most things new and shipped overseas if it's sold directly via Amazon Japan, but if I want to get used books, I'm usually out of luck since most don't ship overseas.

 

I am admittedly concerned about this exact scenario :C

 

You can only poke the bear, the Bezos bear too much i seems. 

 

People keep vilifying Bezos. It seems pretty unwarranted here. I’m not Supermanning the guy here, but is he really the problem why Amazon Japan isn’t offering Starscream to us? I get the comments are facetious and simply aiming to convey cynicism in corporations, but.... eh whatever. This isn’t the place I guess.

 

So, how long do we leave it before deciding to assume AJP won't actually offer it and have to look at other retailers instead?

Another day? Week? What's the consensus? Or are we convinced that they will?

 

Preordered at AE for about $192. This is the most I ever paid for a TF figure and the most I ever will because I’ve wanted a MP Starscream for so long and this mold is exactly what I’ve been looking for. He just looks so damn good and I’m so happy with the amount of extra faces included along with the other accessories. I missed out on a Make Toys Meteor and now I’m glad I did.

 

AJ’s already offered it. It’s not a question of if. We’re just waiting for the restock, like Arcee.

 

I noticed you guys still want to preorder from Amazon JP, is AE not as good?

 

Amazon JP has customer service. AE blocks your account if you ever have the nerve to complain.

I'm using AE though!  

 

Same here, the price is too good not to. 170 pounds with EMS, that's only 16 pounds more than I got MP-36. That's a bargain considering the crazy prices TT have been putting up lately!

 

Yeah. At the end of the day (tax furore in the U.K. notwithstanding) I don't know the guy in any real or personal sense beyond the fact he's super rich and Amazon's a market monster,

But if there's one principle I generally adhere to in life, it's that as a rule, never assume the poor are inherently hard-done by and virtuous or the rich inherently bad. Either one of those extreme polar opposites is its own burden to bear we, stuck inbetween in financial mediocrity, know very little about (e.g: the fear of social rejection for having no money vs. the fear of people "loving" you only because you DO.)

And if you think money of itself is the silver bullet to guarantee him a life free of existential misery, take a long hard look at what became of Howard Hughes.

 

AE said they'd take back my crappy Hound as long as I paid the postage back to them. Amazon.jp covered the postage.

 

I got in an AJ PO (seller is AJ), but the price is still sitting at Y25,281. I think it said the 25th is the last day to cancel, so if the price doesn't start dropping this week I'm going to contact them and ask about it. Really want to stick with them on this because their customer service is unbeatable. Going with AJ, I'm not worried if I get a dud or even if it breaks in the first couple weeks.
