I wonder if Hasbro will be releasing this one like they are Prowl?

I **** need you more than ever!
Transformers Masterpiece Edition Wheeljack is back! The Autobot mad scientist comes complete with another one of his crazy inventions. With cartoon-specific detailing, Wheeljack looks just like he did in the cartoons from 1984 in his blue windows and colorful finish. Transforms from Lancia Stratos Turbo to robot and back again. Includes shoulder cannon and additional accessories. It's great for Generation One fans!

However, it's a great for those that need this option, it's basically the same as the Japanese taxed price (about $83).

How can it cost about the same, and yet be $12 more expensive than importing (with associated costs)?

Full MSRP plus tax is 9,180 JPY ($83) making $79.99 reasonably close to the Japanese price. But after the usual discounts from exporters (AmiAmi, HLJ, et al) it's closer 6,500 JPY (give or take) plus 800 JPY to 1,000 JPY for SAL shipping bringing it to around $68~ total or around $12 less than Hasbro's price.

As for the preference of a domestic online retailer, i never really understood it myself since i figured anyone able to order online could do it anywhere, so why not choose the cheaper option.

Still seems to pull an acceptable angle though.Cyberpath wrote:carytheone wrote:Not sure if I follow.

Not as much as in the original stock photos, I'm sure. Somewhere between the prototype and final product they cut costs and limited its swing range. I even opened it to see.
Perhaps it's why they didn't tab it all the way into his shoulder in the new stock photos.
