    I ordered mine from Anime Export and it's causing me stress for some reason. The uncertainty of how shipping works there is freaking me out. Anyone else pre-order and go through a whole transaction there before?

    Overthinking is my business and business is good! :eek:

    ShowZ still has 2 available for $319.99. In case anyone wants it that badly. The reissue would probably be that much or more probably.

    I've been a happy Anime-Export shopper for about 10 years now... There's no need to worry (although there are some AE-haters on this forum).
    This is how it works. Once the item is officially released and AE has gotten them in stock (which is usually on the official release date), you will get an e-mail from AE which tells you the item is in stock. The e-mail might be in your spam box, so just be aware of that. Anyhow, on day of the release, the product you ordered will move from the 'Awaiting stock' tab, to 'In stock, ready to ship' tab. You will need to request shipping manually, by ticking the box next to the item and confirming you want the item shipped. AE will then pack up the item, and once they have it boxed, you will again receive an e-mail asking you which shipping service you would like (usually either SAL or EMS). Again, you choose, and confirm by paying, and after that, you ewait. You will get a tracking code depending on the shipping service you have chosen.

    Thanks, it's my first order there and Starscream is one of my most wanted figures since I started collecting so it's making me extra nervous. Seems like it won't be too painful, though. Thanks again for explaining what happens. Much appreciated. :)

    Great explanation, thanks

    Real quick though...I know this has been discussed lately, but I kinda missed the conversation myself. So the question is: which is the preferred shipping method to the US nowadays? SAL, EMS, DHL?

    My guess would be DHL for now. SAL shipping to the US hasn't been reinstated and there is a surcharge on EMS right now.

    I’m impressed that Takara has kept such a tight ship in recent MP distribution that we have yet to see so much as a box image. In a world where absolutely everyone has a camera phone in their pocket, that’s not an easy task.

    MP-52 isn’t coming in a box. No other explanation. Blind bagged in robot mode wrapped in a 7-11 plastic bag, includes one of 6 facial expressions. 1 in 2000 are gold. 1 in 50000 are post coronation dust.

    They're just going to throw all of them in jet mode like a paper plane with the accessories attached in a bag and just hope for the best that it reaches you.

    I’m waiting until Takara releases the coronation dust V2.0.
