[Technically weird]

Boner.

For everyone (like me) wishing to see the awesome Stryper Optimus Prime repaint combined with Jetfire you can see at amazon.co.jp if you scroll down. Not sure if these images were already there, I just saw them now...

[Elvaan]

To quote Francis from L4D, "You know I....don't hate this."

[ZenPrime]

Screwed by the " The US gets stupid useless exclusives yet again " trend...

I would shell out some cash to get that Prime.... He's gonna look Shecksay combined with Jetfire I reckon!!! That clear BB looks hot too...

I didn't even think about the combined form, but yes, it'll looks uber nice. This is so much better than the 2007 Movie Nightwatch prime on so many levels.

Pre-ordered doesn't ship til December though...

Pre-ordered doesn't ship til December though...

I've pre-ordered it too, the total amount for Portugal is about 114 euros. But there's one thing bugging me. I've already bought one CD on amazon.co.jp, but when I tried to buy Mashin Eiyuden Wataru toys they said it couldn't be shipped outside Japan. Since this is a DVD plus a toy, I hope they won't cancel our orders stating that it can't be shipped outside Japan .

BTW, it seems the DVD is a 2 disc special edition, at least they say it's 2 discs .

I thought you can only buy DVDs/CDs/Books off of amazon.co.jp?

Yeah, that's what I found strange. I hope the foreign pre-orders don't get cancelled later on...

Am I the only one to notice that the twins' bot modes are squeaky clean? No "desert" on them at all. Yeah, kinda cool in vehicle mode, but looks de de-dee in bot mode.

Hmmm...$154 for ROTF Black Prime...is it worth it?

It'll prob be even more expensive when imported here by online dealers.

Wait, $154 USD base cost? Dang, never mind. I'm fine with Leader OP and Buster OP is the cherry on top. No need for this repaint for me.

Do you know if there's enough of a difference between ROTF Prime and ROTF Buster Prime, where the Jetfire combination wouldn't work on Buster Prime? I have Jetfire, and for whatever reason I still don't own a Leader ROTF Prime. I definitely want Buster Prime, and probably want ROTF Prime, but I was curious about the combination.

No that's $154 shipped, of course that's based on today's yen/dollar exchange rate.

Nah, all 3 version of Prime (normal, buster, black) can combine with Jetfire. Normal & Buster prime differences are paint job, head, and fuel tanks become handgun.... This wont affect the combination.

[Convotron]

Oh, okay, that makes a big difference.

Yeah, there should be no problems with combining any of the Leader OPs with JF. I'm a little wary of combining Buster OP, though, just because of the risk of paint wear from the process of combining two big hunks o' plastic.

But Amazon don't charge your card until they ship, so we would have to hope for currency exchange rate doesn't go south before it ships for that price.

That's my concern for Buster Prime too, which is why I'm keeping my Buster Prime MISB for all its glory and not faceplateness.

[Convotron]

Oh, he'll get a faceplate...you'll come home one day and find Buster OP with a full faceplate going on. The box seals aren't compromised. And nearby you'll see a disfigured head sculpt of one of your other Transformers. You can't deny OP his desire for FACE.

[Destructoid]

Wow...Wonder what the black Prime looks like combined with Jetfire...?

That will gonna be awesome. It's gonna be more like a Super Stealth mode.
I can't wait to see it.

Well, he can have TFs face, but he ain't ever getting my face.

[Convotron]

That's what everyone says in the beginning...

[Blurrz]

The Desert Skids and Mudflap aren't too bad of an idea, at least it's not like Premium...

I guess Iron Man is the only one immune to all this. Back on topic, I hope someone finds out if Amazon.co.jp will really fill the preorders for those not in Japan. I'd be royally pissed off if they only shipped the movie and not the toy.

[capellamusic]

I've received an answer from amazon.co.jp regarding my email about my pre-order of the Transformers ROTF 2 disc special edition DVD with exclusive yellow and black Leader class ROTF Optimus Prime, and it seems that this is no mistake. If I understood well their answer, our pre-orders are to be fulfilled upon release . So, it seems that just because we're buying a DVD that has a toy included, it is allowed to be bought from outside of Japan. If it was a toy that included a DVD it couldn't be ordered. Go figure .

Please read below their answer and the email I sent them.

First, their answer:

Thank you for contacting us at Amazon.co.jp.

First of all, please accept our sincere apologies for anxiety about the item you ordered.

As you pointed out, we are not able to ship any items of the "Toys & Hobbies" store outside of Japan. However, since the item you ordered is of "DVD" store, we can ship it to Portugal.

I have looked into the item "トランスフォーマー/リベンジ オプティマスプライム ブラックバージョンBOX (Amazon.co.jp限定) [DVD]" (# ASIN: B002P3CND2) you ordered and found the following description as follows:

---------------------------------------------
This set item is included 2 DVDs of "Transformers Revenge special collector's edition" and Optimus Prime black version.
---------------------------------------------

Therefore, this set item includes the Optimus Prime figure.

Also, this set item includes 2 DVDs of "Transformers Revenge".

Regarding Bumblebee toy, I requested our appropriate department to investigate. We'll let you know about the investigation result via e-mail when it is completed. Please note that it may take time for the investigation to be finished. We're sorry for this inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

I hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping at Amazon.co.jp.

And this was my email to them sent through their website on the "contact us" form using my pre-order number:

Hi. Sorry I can not speak Japanese. I don't know if I chose the correct subject for this email because I can not read Japanese.

I pre-ordered this DVD which comes with a large Transformers toy by TakaraTomy and I would like to know if this can be shipped to my country (Portugal) and if there are no problems with my pre-order. Will both the DVD and the toy be sent to me in Portugal? Your site allowed me to order this exclusive offer, but because you do not sell toys outside of Japan I want to confirm if this one can really be sent to other countries or if it was an error.

Also, just to be sure, this item includes a 2 disc DVD Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen plus a Transformers Leader class yellow and black Optimus Prime toy by TakaraTomy, right? Does it also include the small Bumblebee toy by TakaraTomy shown in the photos? I want to be sure that all this is included and that there are no problems to ship to Portugal because this is a very expensive order.

Thank you.

Best regards

Although they didn't confirm the EZ black and yellow bumblebee they already confirmed the most important part . And I don't even care if Bumblebee is not included... as long as my Stryper Optimus Prime is!!

[shonenfan4]

Good one and good job. Now I can stop worrying about it.

[capellamusic]

I bring more good news regading amazon.co.jp, they have answered today about the EZ Stealth Bumblebee, it is also included with the 2 disc special edition Transformers ROTF DVD and yellow and black Leader class Optimus Prime . Here's what they said today:

Wait whu? So both Legends BB and Black OP are in the same DVD special?

Yes! If you check the page they also show that one on the photos, that's why I also asked them that, and they confirmed it is included as well . So, 114 euros shipped for all of that, I think it's not bad, it's very good .
