    Their preorders usually have that “low price guarantee”. Not sure if that includes matching prices from other vendors or just giving the lowest price offered through Amazon’s own preorder.

    This really does feel like it was a premature listing and not a fast selling out. Hoping to see it go officially live soon!

    The Hasbro MP Seekers came in bot mode, including all releases in both the MP-03 and MP-11 molds.

    When Thundercracker and Skywarp get released, someone mentioned they could perhaps come with alternate colors for their stands, but I believe all three Seekers will come with the same purple stand.

    Every MP should be packaged in alt mode, period. Everyone that buys them should experience the transformation at least once. It must be mandatory.

    Don't @ me.

    I'm thinking of biting the bullet and pre-ordering from AE. Would the AJP discount be that much better?

    Just trying to find the cheapest option shipping to NJ.

    I agree. Provided they come with the stand.

    This is most likely NOT the case. It could be true if AmazonJP still has preorders for customers located in Japan but not foreign addresses, but that’s not the case. AmazonJP isn’t taking preorders from anyone now, only 3rd seller are selling. They wouldn’t cut off all business from everyone including domestic markets.

    Patience is truly a virtue. I'm not sweating it. It will be up at some point.

    Seems like a lot of misinformation and panicking on this thread, we're all waiting for the same pre order. Dont worry

    Starscream isn’t coming out for over 8 months. We can all chill. The preorder situation will be fine.

    So I'm going to try this. I have a live CC listed and an expired one. I tried to change it to the expired and it said No Way. I updated the expired card to a fake expiration date and it let me reserve under it. Should I delete the other card? When they try to charge the expired card and it bounces back, will they contact me?

    Thanks for any info you can share.

    It's just all those people that have a time machine. They want to pre-order today and pick it up tomorrow;)

    Cool cool, if it's not available for anyone at all then that's a good sign, seems like there's no need for panic at all :thumb

    He's up on Pulse for $265. So it looks like BBTS , TFSource and the like are not marking it up more than $10 from MSRP. I don't think I'd be enthusiastic at that price. The shipping from AE will put me a couple of duckets over $200 all in, but it's still a significant savings.

    Just a heads up and take it with a grain of salt. Amazon Japan may have started charging online sales tax for items being shipped to the USA. Nothing is confirmed yet though and it may be a false alarm.

    They will. It wouldn't make sense for them to come without their own stand. Or TT would have to start selling these stands separately.

    Other figures that need the stand have come without it though. Don't be so sure. It's a balance between optimizing a figure at added cost vs the incentive to collect more figures.

    Amazon isn't taking orders for ANYONE right now, including Japanese residents.

    Starscream MP-11 did also. So did Shockwave, and Megatron, in short everyone but the cars I think. Well MP-44 didn’t.
