    Mine is "processing" from Nippon-Yasan. I hope that means it will ship soon. I can't wait!

    Yeah, clicked ship for Tracks from anime export.

    I was so shocked by the Ratchet announcement.....It surprised me as much as Ramjet:lol 

    It was more fun when it didn't cost so much to keep up.

    I just check, I ordered 2 Tracks and fast shipping was $23.22, so right at $100 shipped total.

    AE is usually the cheapest all around, but you have to pay up front, which I don't like and is hard for me right now with just switching jobs and no over time.

    Yeah I don't like to pay 6 months ahead either. Then their pre-orders sell out too fast. I missed Hot Rod, Shockwave, & Ironhide. Plus you can never be certain if that company goes under you would be out money.

    I preordered MP G2 Bumblebee through Anime Export way back, and then when it got lost in the mail, they wouldn't help me out with tracking it down. Thanks to the preorder being so much earlier in the year, PayPal couldn't get my money back. Never using Anime Export again.

    I just learned something neat. If you use your credit card thru paypal you are protected and also depending on your card, you won't get dinged on paypals foreign exchange rate, saving you a few more bucks. Never thought of it for the exchange rate end since paypals is higher on average than anywhere else.


    As a side not, picked up CW Devestator from Merrillville TRU today. Box is beat up a good amount(I took pics on the counter with receipt before I left)but I only need a good Hook with a R and L shin/feet, so I hope it's okay and I can finally have a good Devestator. The boy and I will be checking it out later.

    They also had Motormaster, Hot Spot, Cyclonus and 2 of each for the Prowl, SSunstreaker, Mirage wave, saw Groove and Warpath as well. A lone MP Bluestreak on the shelf to. Only had the one Devestator. Also a spend $50 or more on Transformers and save $10 currently.

    but you had to pay shipping when it went in stock right?
    did you file a claim for that?
    did you use a credit card? I always change my payment option to credit instead of bank account. Never use the bank account.
    and like 3.8TransAM said you should also be covered by your credit card company
    It wouldn't hurt to try to file a claim with them.

    I just paid my shipping for Tracks it was $9.92.

    Found a great new local hookup on early MP releases :) 

    Tracks is sweet, very intricate transformation and a bit finicky and delicate but still overall very nice.

    tracks looks great. only have spare money for one right now, and MMC sphinx caught my eye quite a bit more this time. so I'll be going for him first, then tracks sometime in the coming months.

    I did file a claim for the shipping, so I got my $9 back at least. But I paid for him with my Paypal balance, not a credit card.

    Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    TRU Merrillville had one Devastator in a beat up box, so I bought it yesterday.

    Hook had a left and right foot, so I swapped it out with my two left feet example and took it back. All is right in the world again.

    Now just some time to screw with him would be cool.
