    Leo Prime is here and once again the packaging was top notch. This is my second order and both have come in an Amazon Japan box. Leads me to believe something was up with that other order.

    As of right now, from what I've looked into only MP Grapple is available.

    Nice! That's the way I get my stuff from AE as well, got to love the way the Japanese pack their items :p 
    That sucks...Was hoping to start getting my future MP's from them...

    Soundwave was packed the same way, but his wrapped card was glued to the box for extra security. Loved it! I did have an odd box, though... There's pull strip on the shipping carton like a Priority Mail box would have here in the States. Never saw that before on a shipping box... It was nice and easy access. It was an Amazon JP box, too, not a DHL box. US Amazon might want to look into these...

    That sucks. I got my Soundwave yesterday and it was shipped through DHL too but it was in a big brown box shrink-wrapped to a piece of cardboard like most people.

    First Amazon Japan issue - they cancelled my preorder for Cheetus and claimed they ran out of stock. I just re-ordered through BBTS.

    How much is Grapple on Amazon Japan? I might be tempted but after seeing the damaged boxes I am very gun shy about ordering him.

    I ordered Grapple Tuesday, and received it this morning. Grapple was about $120 shipped when I ordered it.

    Trypticon is up on Amazon.jp, but doesn't ship to the US (shocking, I know).
    It's also $213.

    Does anyone know why Amazon.jp has stopped shipping Transformers to the US? I ordered Grapple and Megatron though Amazon.jp. I received Grapple with no issues, and Megatron is still on pre-order. When I try to order Artfire it tells me the item cannot be shipped to my address. Artfire is listed as being sold and shipped through Amazon.jp.

    It's complicated and they don't really have a good answer. See my response from AJ customer service in the Amazon Japan thread.. I'm not pushing the issue because I don't want them canceling our MP Megatron preorders if it turns out to be a mistake.

    Can you link me that thread? Didn't know there was one, and I agree it's best not to make it a real nuisance or they may cancel all those MP Megs from Amazon.jp going to the US:p  I have one pre ordered there myself.
