definitely seems higher than normal at TFSource but how bad would shipping be from one of the international stores?

 

Show.Z and Baba on eBay are usually free shipping.

 

I take it you're not a fan of video game weapons at all? I miss his dual energon swords. They were my favourite part of his arsenal. He did get a couple of similar blades in TLK but they were more like the hidden blades from Assassins Creed than his original swords. Let's not forget that DotM also got rid of the "where does the trailer go?"  

 

It’s so tempting to preorder but I’ve never done an eBay preorder. How reliable is it? Does it hold off charging until it ships?

 

Yeah anime-style “over the top” weapons haven’t really appealed to me since I was a younger man so I prefer weapons that really fit the character design and look like they could integrate into the bot mode. And yeah, his trailer actually made sense in dotm! What an improvement!

Normally I don’t get TFs off eBay unless it’s a used item but baba is well known for being reliable.

 

Sweet jesus, i mean i know TF source is usually a little more, but 100 bucks more seems a bit steep.

Constructor (perfect eddition) is only 30$ more for a much larger toy.
Darkshuraking was 120$ more on tf source and its presumably the same size as constructor.
Planet x ultra magnus is only like 10 bucks more.

Not really much consistency with price on tfsource.

I have used showzstore a lot, and its free shipping but slow (~30 days). The few times i used baba on ebay i paid for shipping, but it came super quick (~7 days).

 

Yeah I’ve ordered from baba and he’s great! It was an item in the us though that was already out. Honestly if Tfsource had the price right I would have dropped a preorder immediately

 

Oh, sorry i misunderstood. I thought you meant that you disliked all video game weapons, even the realistic ones.
I hope future TFs keep the integrated weapons.

 

One word: Tariffs. You heard Brian Goldner talk about it for the Official products, but that's all need be said on this.

 

Still too high even taking in the tariffs

 

In other words?

 

Not really cause he tall.

 

If it were 100% tariffs related, it would scale to the size/weight/cost of the import....which i clearly showed its not.

 

Can anybody please clarify one thing to me!

Is this Optimus Prime Leader sized?

 

Your question has been answered...

Its taller than leader class, and taller than MP10. MP 10 = 10 inches, and this is ~11.8 inches

 

Haven't been following, but what's the diff between deluxe and standard?

Pay first, like any eBay purchase. Regardless of "pre-order" status, if the item isn't received by the estimated delivery date, eBay will refund no questions asked. Ditto with PayPal. But with Baba you're getting the first release copies right away, so it's never an issue.

 

Confirmation that his neck is no longer a stick , and that sculpt work is looking good.
