That's exactly how I explained it to my gf, who is 8 years younger than me, but she didn't agree with my logic. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not crazy! Edit: Just had her read your post, and she still doesn't agree lolol
Amazon Japan link is live to order internationally, folks. Grab yours while you can; i did. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/4801926827/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
What is with Amazon Japan listing things so late these days? I ended up ordering this book and MP-52 from other sites because it took so long for AJ to list.
The only thing i can think of is some sort of international "throttling" to ensure all domestic Japanese orders are given preference over international orders. I think non-Japan orders are slamming them faster than they are ready to deal with, leaving some domestic Japanese customers, hung out to dry.
Thanks for the heads up. I love these books, and I'm hoping that this years does not disappoint. PRE-ORDERED!
Focus on the Hondas and MPM Bee-Prime. Meh Hopegully there is something of substance for the seekers/Raiden/Skyfire.
Just to add the order for this has also gone live on CDJapan's website which worked out slightly cheaper. Used them in the past and never had any problems: Transformer Generation 2021 WELCOME to the WORLD of TRANSFORMERS!! Take Shobo BOOK Loving how these two look together. Can't wait to get both but also looking forward to getting this book.
Thanks. D’oh! This is the correct one: Transformer Generation 2021 WELCOME to the WORLD of TRANSFORMERS!! Take Shobo BOOK
Looks like some people are starting to pick up copies in Japan... https://twitter.com/Chohenken/status/1392409881626308613?s=19
Man the Covid shipping fees are killing me. HLJ just billed me $35 CAD to ship DHL. The book only cost $36 CAD.
Unfortunately JP Post stopped shipping to US and Canada in March last year. Only way to ship there from Japan is by DHL, FedEx, UPS. You're pretty lucky to be in Europe!
I'd love to live in the US, but it is not easy to get visas, never mind citizenship. The HLJ shipping is a pain. I'm guessing Amazon.jp is cheaper but it's now a gamble waiting this long in the hope they will offer it internationally.
