In-Hand - Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-32 Beast Convoy / Optimus Primal

The Deluxe is the RobotMasters version, while the version of the original Ultra is the Legends version.

I'm so glad the MP isn't quite as big as the original Ultra. Aside from his Optimal Optimus form, Optimu Primal is not some giant behemoth who towers over everyone else. Both Rhinox and Dinobot are taller than him, even.

Looks like both BBTS's and TFSource's preorders with the flail are sold out. Anywhere else still have the flail version preorder?

Yup, robot kingdom: http://www.robotkingdom.com/tftrmp32.html

Yeah, but, for a U.S. consumer like me, RobotKingdom's a last resort since their shipping rates are usually astronomical. Is there no other option at this point?

If not, how much would the shipping be for that Primal w/ flail set from RK?

Looks like BBTS still has preorders up. They are here at http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12328&mode=retail.



EDIT - Okay, and now BBTS is out again. I swear to God that was just available. I literally just ordered one and then canceled my non-flail order.

Holt fuck, but shipping at HLJ went up.

Can you give us the details. How much did it cost you last time and for what and when? The US$ rose actually so I thought it would hurt you less. Would it have been better to just pay $119 at BBTS?

Well, it's been awhile since I shipper a single item. When MP Ironhide came out, I paid $14 for the fed ex 5 day.

I just paid $23 for Primal, and I thought they would be similar.

They should be similar, do you have the shipping prices in yen to compare without dealing with exchange rates?

1720 for Ironhide.

2380 for Beast Convoy.

Still cheaper to import, but not by much.

No clue, but you should be able to calculate shipping before paying for the item. And no, thats it for preorders, the other place (like ages 3 and up) dont have the asia version.

But why dont you just buy the standard MP Primal and then get the flail seperately on e-bay for $20 ? Thats what quite a few of us are doing.

Just gave this a try and, while the lowest shipping rate is an unholy $32.00, when I factor in RK's listed price for the set as $95.90, the total amount of $127.90 might actually be cheaper than purchasing the set from BBTS, whose listed price is $127.99 before shipping.

So, word to the wise, RobotKingdom might actually be the better deal for this set depending on the shipping rates to any of yall's locations.
