    I really need to get this guy to complete my collection but every online retailer is either sold out on preorders or out of stock. I know he just hit Japan and most online vendors don't have him yet but damn.....


    I check ebay and the cheapest is 25 + 18 shipping.

    Anyone know where I can find it?

    Send me a pm with info

    Thanks!

    I don't know he sold out quick. It might be difficult to get one at a reasonable price at this point.

    Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow from BBTS but I pre-ordered right after it went up for pre-order. They went fast.

    Toy-wave homepage

    I usually get my figures from this site as they tend to be a couple dollars cheaper assuming I don't get hit with duty and taxes. Seems like a decent price on Red Alert.

    no worries. :) 

    I broke down and got one off of ebay. I'm worried that there won't be any more waves since this is the last of henkei, and I might as well pay extra for the last one since i already bought every other universe figure. im swappin the spoiler to my universe sunstreaker though once it gets here

    BBTS lists the preorders as sold out. I don't know how they work, but they might have some to sell when they actually put them up for sale. Until they actually say "sold out" instead of "preorder-sold out" we will know they won't be selling any more.

    Sure!

    Red Alert is just like Sideswipe, but with different paint, same head, chromed weapon (silver with red chrome tip) and spoiler. His license plate says "Alert."

    Hope that helps!

    Yea but the site is from Hong Kong...so in the end, I am not sure if you would be saving much, if anything at all.

    Order a couple things and be mindful of the weight limitations for each level of shipping (every .5 kg bumps up shipping by 5 bucks of so) and you'll be fine.

    I just ordered 4 deluxe henkei and the total will be under $100, which is far better than you can get for any individual henkei, from overseas retailers or american ones.

    I'll be getting him either from ebay or one of the sites I use. He's the last universe figure I need, plus hes gonna look sweet positioned next to his brothers. He'll also be my first and only henkei figure so far.
