    I'm trying to get higher-res images of G2 Megatron and Thunderwing. Anyone know an easy way to pull them off amazon.co.jp? I'm digging through the html/javascript, but I'm just not familiar enough with those languages.

    Please don't make me photostitch them.

    Damn, that G2 Megatron looks awesome. Shame about that mold's bad arms, though. :(

    It's really only one bad arm...the left arm is articulated and just fine.

    So, I preordered the BW Megatron from bbts. I got an email from them yesterday the price was incorrect. They changed it to 49.99. Lame, but I want that deco, so not an issue for me.

    I REALLY like the deco on BW Megs but, $50 is way too much for that figure.

    AmiAmi appear to have higher prices listed for United BW Megatron and Primal than HLJ do. If you order them through HLJ...i'm wondering if the order will be honored.

    It is an homage, its colour is supposed to suck. That is why it is good.

    I was under the impression that if you preorder an item from BBTS for a certain price, if the price later goes up then you're still locked in at the previous (lower) price.

    Is this the first time they've raised the prices on items that have already been preorded?

    First time for me, but they explained that it was an error and the actual price was the $50.
