I think TFSource has BBTS beat. 219.99 shipped last time checked. No stacking or piling required.

Like mooncakes pointed out, why not save the money.

Makes sense guys. Sucks for BBTS though but at the same time, this may lead to them upping their game (either free shipping or lower prices). One thing that surprised me though, Mooncake, EMS is faster than domestic shipping? Or does it depend where you are in the states?

And lastly, while I was kind of sad that I had to pay now (2 days ago) for Takara's devy, the exchange rate pointed out makes it not a bad move afterall. That's something I had not thought about. Amiami makes you pay only when it's ready to ship and you cant cancel your order. That means your order is wholly dependent on fluctuating exchange rates and that's not always a good thing.

But one thing, is it that the american dollar is lower, or that the yen is stronger?

EMS takes around the same time as domestic shipping (USPS) for me about a week. The thing is HLJ, Amiami usually gets their stock on Friday and I would pay for it and get it by next weekend. BBTS would get it maybe a few days later? probably Monday or Tuesday if there are no delays and I would hit ship on my POL it'll spend time under paid then werehouse and probably wont actually ship out until wednesday earliest and won't make it here by the weekend. So ordering Takara from Japan is actually cheaper and faster for me... hopefully that will remind true.

Dollar is strong! Yen is just bouncing back right now. we will see.. I track these rates everyday. lol =X

Arg! It's such a fishy game, and I've never been a gambling man.
I thought I might just stay loyal to BBTS, but $30 bucks is another 2 deluxes or a voyager.
We'll just have to wait and see how it all pans out as I pulled the trigger at amiami.
Will, you think EMS could be as high as $60?

Wow! Is he $10 cheaper than Prowl was? Wasn't Prowl $69.99?
That's a really nice deal.

I think that's the perfect price point for the cars. I wonder if Starscream will be $69.99.

Yes I do. My recent haul was 50$ US to ship and it had UW 01 Superion and 4 TAV deluxes. It can be anywhere between 40-60$. But you are lucky, Emerje says you wont get it taxed. I will for sure, no way Canadian customs is ignoring a big ticket item like that.

$60 seems like a pretty sweet spot for cars to me.

I'd love to see MP Screamer at $70, I could use one of those in my life.

And he's 89.99$ CDN in canada: http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp ... d=61896076

Something seems off because that makes him 69.99$ in the US. You guys are getting a deal.

I'm sure they'll raise the price soon like they did on all the other Masterpieces. Esp if it's selling well (Prime, Soundwave, Grimlock)

I ordered him as well. I know I was thinking of waiting for BLUE Bluestreak, but saving money and having the figure in a few days wins. $70 for an MP-11 based Starscream would make me think of parting with my Walmart MP Starscream..Also, let's get on with the other MP cars at $59.99 Hasbro! Just release a bunch at a time. They'll sell

BBTS has SDCC Devastator up for preorders...

$300 bucks though... =/

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS24544&mode=retail


Combiner hunter set too

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS24543&mode=retail

$60 is very reasonable for Bluestreak. I bought one. I don't know why. Actually, I do - it's a cool box and now I can have a second one displayed in alt mode, sooo, a $60 box. I've failed you all.

To add to SDCC pre-orders. TFSource also has the SDCC Devastator up for preorder for $299.99:

http://tfsource.com/sdcc2015/devastator/

and the Combiner Hunters for $139.99:

http://tfsource.com/sdcc2015/combiner-hunters/

I noticed that the Hunters pre-orders are sold out on BBTS.

Wasn't SDCC Devastator announced to be priced at $180? I don't remember what the Hunters were said to be priced at. I did notice a small bit of text at the top of HTS that may be of some interest.



The texted is linked, but just to HTS home page.

combiner hunters I believe was 75ish?

mooncake623 wrote:combiner hunters I believe was 75ish?

I thought it was way less than $140. Would it be a safe assumption that HTS will be listing at the MRSP then?

Has there been any info on the U.S release of mp starscream ?Or could it still be possible it was mistaken for combiner wars leader class starscream?

10/1 TRU exclusive - I don't think there has been a word on price yet.

Skywarp and Rodimus are on Amazon, albeit at a higher price than at retail.

Should be the same price as the previous seekers since it was confirmed on TRU canada computer to be 89.99$, same price as the previous ones.

Aaaaaaaaa purchased. I have been waiting for this day! I've got a spot in between MP20 and MP21 for him.
