BBTS has them up for pre-order. Price is more expensive than fantofan

Their price will be more expensive then anyone. 

 

After comparing my own pics from Botcon, and the proposed colors for the Takara releases, I'm siding with the majority on this topic. In conclusion:

- Cancelled my Universe Powerglide preorder.
- Pre-ordered "Henkei" Powerglide.
- Keeping my Universe Onslaught and Silverbolt preorders.

With more TF toys released in 1986 than in 85, more in 87 than in 86 and about the same in 88 than in 87, I'd say the "futuristic vehicles" didn't impact TF popularity back in the day. Lack of cartoon support certainly did.

I haven't ordered from F2F, but I bet shipping costs from F2F would be higher than from BBTS.  

Sometimes I get better deals from HLJ (also based in Japan like F2F), and sometimes BBTS has the better deals.

As much as I didn't hate the fact that he was white in the American release, I was more bothered by the fact the red head really seemed to stick out, even with the trim. It made the head look even bulkier and not sized correctly than it was. I even saw it in person and thought that. The red blends a lot better and feels more like Powerglide to me. I get that Hasbro wants a more realistic style with universe, and I respect that. I just don't think it works with that toy. I will be buying the Hasbro versions of the rest of the Ultras and Deluxes. The paintjobs really work on those and I don't like the excess use of chrome the Japanese have gotten into. Excess chrome FTL.

 

I'll get Onslaught and Powerglide. HENKEI FTMFW!

 

Hey, has anyone ordered anything from F2F before to North America? If so, what was it and what was the shipping costs? He can't give a quote yet, and I don't want to pay an outrageous shipping fee. Any estimate would be appreciated, thanks

 

I have. I got the first Henkei figures from him, black movie Incinerator, and a black Arcee. He's great to deal with. Shipping seems fair to me, and is dependent on whether or not you choose SAL or EMS and how much you ordered.

 

Do you recall how much you paid for shipping? Like for say for 1 voyager or 1 or 2 deluxes?
