For one reason or another, it seems Masterpiece Tracks and Roadrage aren't as popular as previous MP releases in Japan, leading to many Japanese merchants to lower their prices. The Seibertronian community has found these great deals and we would like to share them with all of you.

Firstly, Shajaki, found both Tracks and Roadrage on Hobbysearch with prices ranging from 29.95 - 32$ US

Transformers News: Steal of a Deal on Masterpiece Tracks ad Roadrage

These can be shipped worldwide. If you buy both using the SAL shipping option, it comes out to USD $78 shipped. Shipping them individually is 1,190 yen (USD $10.65) each making Roadrage, for instance only cost USD $41.96.

If you don't want to buy directly from Japan, Seibertronian itscramtastic found another deal which is fulfilled by Amazon and eligible for Prime shipping, which is just a bit more expensive.

MP Road Rage sold by some company BUT FULFILLED BY AMAZON WITH PRIME SHIPPING! $49.89!! So if you're like me and are afraid of importing stuff for no reason, good price and you'll get it in two days!!

Hopefully this is good news to you all, anywhere you are! Let us know if you'll be grabbing one (or two!).

You should buy. I bought. So you should. Cobs did. So did Shaj. And some others. Stop being left out and join the MP RR party :lol:

Actually I'm super tempted, but I've got a cart at TFL that's got my itchy trigger finger locked and loaded on it. #thestruggleisreal :-(

I'll keep an eye on that amazon listing for a bit and see how that goes.

Too bad hobby search doesnt have any G2 Bees for cheap.

Oh what the hell. I've ordered Tracks. It's been years since I bought a MP figure (I've had bad experiences with them and find them overpriced for what they are too) but this seems like a price good enough that I can take a chance and if I don't like it I can sell it on later at possibly a profit. Tracks is not a character I'm fond of (and yet I own the Reveal the Shield figure cos it was a birthday present from a good friend some years ago) but it looks kinda cool. How tall is he?

Well you should know by now that I do more window shopping than purchasing.

I got a couple shinys I'm looking at. Honestly random weird things that have caught my eye and not worth mentioning.

I also need to get with this other shop "ItsShopTastic" and settle up with them too.

Shiny objects!!!

I have a revolving cart there daily it seems. Things I'm like "oh yeah, need that" and other things where I'm like "where'd this come from, BUY". But like you, window shopping. Their wiki is pretty extensive!

Ok cool. Only figure I do have in those photos is RTS Tracks and from look of it MP Tracks seems a lot taller in robot mode but smaller in car form? So not sure if close to Voyager or Deluxe size.

In robot mode, these MPs are voyager size. Tracks is hallow in his legs and torso area so when compacted into alt mode, he ends up being a smaller car.

Thanks.

Wondering if I should have ordered Road Rage instead. Prefer Tracks' colour scheme but his gun is so tiny compared to hers and I could use a Voyager sized female for my collection. Gen Arcee is cute but so tiny compared to the 'boys'.

I'm a bit confused. I ordered Tracks a couple hours ago and clicked to pay via Paypal but haven't actually been asked to pay yet but I have the Order Confirmation email sent soon after I ordered. I think I need to go back to the site and look up what I did or didn't do.

I feel bad for both you and Tracks. Poor guy did nothing wrong, but he ends up with the prison treatment.

Butt, the figure himself is not broken, ya? You can get that out of there, I bet. And the new clear stands are cooler and only 10 bucks.

I have some ideas on how you might get that broken peg out. PM me if you're interested. No need to clog up this thread with it.

I actually might have made a mistake in thinking Predaking was previously full price. There's a possibility I confused this with Trypticon's somewhat recent "un-sale" pricing.
:HEADHURTS:

Still though, ~$98 shipped aint bad.

Hey man, never feel ashamed of posting deals for your fellow fans. At the very basic, this becomes a reminder for people who are new to collecting that this good deal is still out there and anyone who has prime can save on shipping instead of buying at BBTS (though would the fact that they get taxed balance that out? I dont know state laws)

Actually it's eligible for free shipping regardless if you have Prime or not. Granted it's not the nice and speedy 2 day option. If I ordered today without Prime the estimated arrival is the 17th-20th, which isn't too bad. I don't know state by state tax laws either, but for MN there's no tax on this through Amazon. At least that's what it's telling me at the place-your-order screen.

It's random as hell. It probably varies from state to state. For me it varies from site to site. BBTS, TFSource, Amazon and if I'm remembering correctly TRU do not charge me sales tax. HTS charges me tax.

It's really still kinda the wild west when it comes to buying online and getting hit with sales tax. They also base it on your local city and county (parish for Louisiana) taxes as well. I used to live in a city that had 9.5% tax, but I would ship to my work address where I would only get hit with 9% tax.

I want to say I remember hearing that it had something to do with whether or not the online retailer had a brick and mortar store as well, but then the Playstation Network started charging me sales tax. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like the old saying goes: "Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes"

Hahaha - I like how they went out of there way to point out that Canada was excluded. Seems a little assy to me.

It's not a great deal, but when I shop at target I scan everything in my basket. I usually only save 5% here or there, but I'm saving.

Here is a cool thing about the cartwheel discounts, they stack with other discounts. I've applied the discount to clearance items.

10% off just covers tax down here so that's nice. Hopefully some new stuff will show up before the discount expires.

I also fixed the crazy huge size of the original image I posted :shock:

Thanks for the Target tip. It actually put me over the edge on skyreign's limbs when I saw them in stock today. Saved over 6 bucks, not insane but even minimal deals add up over time which allow for more figures in the long run!

These are still a few yens off the original price, but it's not the previous 3750/3500Y deal.

The heck? My MP Tracks is being held by Parcelforce asking for £20.40 in customs charges? Nothing else I ever bought from Japan had this extra cost. I thought this was supposed to be a bargain? I dunno what to do. I didn't even want the figure that much. I just thought why not try it since it was quite a bit cheaper than usual.

Canada and the UK have a similar customs tactic for imports. They charge a nominal fee for their service plus the 20% VAT. Since there are so many products and imports, hey usually let things through and only look at the items that have an indicated fee of above £75-100. But they can still tax any import with an indicated price and sometimes do so when it nears the end of the month to fill a quota. I guess this month was lower and they are taxing everything that has a declared value. You probably didnt ask that your product be labelled as a gift and they pounced on it to fill their quota of either amount taxed or customs forms filled.

Yeah I dunno what I did. All I do know was that purchasing from that site was quite different than when I ordered from AmiAmi a few months ago. Having to wait for a purchase email before I could even give money was a bit strange and now this customs thing has really thrown me. I've emailed the site and asked if they'd take the item back from Parcelforce and refund my initial payment as I just can't afford another £20 this week and I don't want the figure that badly. If not then I'm just gonna have to find the £20 from somewhere and then receive the figure and try sell it and get all my money back.

I wish I'd never ordered it now but as I said I've never ever encountered this sort of thing despite years of ordering items from overseas without any issue. I'll certainly hesitate before making any further purchases.

Customs fees are something you should be aware of as a buyer, nobody's going to give you a refund for that, my friend. Unfortunately, getting hit with them is always a possibility.

Well I'm aware of it now that it's given me a chunky extra cost but as I said I'd ordered stuff from overseas many, many times over the years and this has never happened to me so I wasn't aware it was ever an issue before.

I don't see no decimal. That five-hundred and ninety-nine dollar baby can't fool me!
