    I'd love to pick this up, as I don't have a Superion. But I just can't swing that much money right now. And even if I could, then I'd have to buy the upgrade kit because well I'm not gonna have an un-upgraded combiner that's just ridiculous.

    If this is still available in a couple months at this price and all my Siege pre-orders haven't run me dry I'll try to grab him.

    Amazon Japan shows 8,641 yen for green Unicron but during checkout it shows 8,001. Total shipped $86.24. I'm so tempted to get it at that price.

    Around a month ago preorders was ringing up ~$135 shipped... way less than the $200 bbts/tfsource price... but still.

    If back then you were like, man, if it was just an additional ~$50 cheaper... :eek: :eek: :eek: 

    :p

    Any word on why Amazon doesn't have a pre-order up for Studio Series DotM Optimus Prime? Or if they plan on having him soon?

    I wouldn't have thought I would see it that low but $86.24 I would have thought impossible and it would sell out before it got sub $100. I have been debating buying it since some have posted the lower pricing a few weeks/months ago but just didn't have the money with everything coming out. Even at that price I have been wavering back and to about it. I finally broke down and bought it a few minutes ago. I always liked the old Lucky Draw colors and never thought we would see something this close. I have all three of the US releases of the mold so this will be joining them.

    I just got my Masterpiece Wheeljack MP-20+ from Amazon.co.jp. It shipped Sunday and got to the North East US by Tuesday evening via DHL.

    Anyone not using Amazon.co.jp for their Takara purchases needs to start. It's bonkers. I had to wait weeks for Star Saber back in the day.

    Oh, you had that happen, too? Yeah, it's so much fun watching it get there, later in the morning, only to depart with an update later telling you that it went BACK to Cincinnati before being forwarded to you. It's so much fun! /s

    Once I see how Unicron goes, which I expect to be fine, I will strongly consider using them more. I would have liked to get the G.I. Joe Bishoujo Scarlett and the Bandai Pokemon Ball Collection: Mewtwo Strikes Back EVOLUTION 8 Pack but they won't ship to my address so no pre-order on those.

    Yep. It’s happened to me a couple of times. Once it did it twice. I call DHL yesterday when it geotags sent back and they put a trace on it to see why it happens. Not sure if it’ll get fixed but I tried.

    This is just... Wow

    Amazon itself is scalping a product for 4 x normal price?
