    I did wonder about the shipping but figured they’re both going to be about the same. I realised that you would have to add about $30 shipping in both cases, it’s just that sometimes Bombusbee includes shipping and sometimes it seems to be an extra. I not actually completed an order with Bombusbee yet as they’re all preorders so far…

    So I’ll correct myself and say Baba will have it for $190-200.

    My girlfriend thinks that they are dumb pieces of plastic too, but understands what I paid for them and knows not to take a lowball offer.

    Yeah I have this also. Mine has the site from which I purchased also!

    I threw in some estimated resale costs to see if there’s anything worth selling…

    Surprised we haven't seen a video for the tapes yet, as that guy in the transformation video clearly has them.

    They still have to cue the right music (more copyright infringement coming), before rolling the tape.

    Get a load of these! At todays exchange rate that's $356 US. Who was saying these things aren't an investment?

    I can't help but look at that top image of Soundwave and imagining him slowly raising his middle finger, coupled with his echoing Deception chuckle.

    Balls to FT's rules on matching US retail (if said rules actually exist). It's just another part of the problem.

    On a separate question... Do we think Spindrift 2.0 ate into FT's numbers? As in, did it cost them more to produce than they sold it for? Did they take a loss?

    Die-cast and slathered in metallic paint for that authentic "premium" feel.

    The “guy in the transformation” video might as well be Dalianjj, as these videos seem to be “official” RP videos.

    The credits say that dalianjj was the cameraman and divinecomedy did the transformation, all sponsored by baba. My translation might be off though because my Chinese is rusty.

    Both dalianjj and myself are VIP members over at Baba.

    Heck, if dalianjj keeps increasing his prices, it won't be long before I become VVIP

    I fully expect 2 months after I have this in hand, for Takara to drop SW 2.0.

    The real release will still be one and half years away though at the earliest.
