You know me Bumblebee21, I get queasy with that word being used, even if its in quotations. The only official price is the price this Japanese toy sells for in japan, in its own market. And that makes sense right? Its like when BBTS was first giving preorders for Wave 1 of TR and everyone thought the "official" price had gone up. but no, it was just them taking advantage of the hype, the retail price was the same as the year before. So it hadnt gone up and BBTS' price wasnt official at all. So its the same thing here but with a higher margin. Or better yet, its like those Japanese online stores that sell the G2 CW sets for $200. Would they call that an official price? Of course, you can write as you wish, but you will know I can't refuse to explain this everytime![]()
Anyways, at this very moment, any of us can preorder MP megatron for $175-$177, with no orange plug. Do any of you think I should write an article about that in case many dont know and think that anything below $200 is a pipe dream?

I think you should just write an article about Takara prices in general since I've seen so many people not able to understand that the higher prices they buy Takara toys at are completely dependent on import charges and the value of the yen compared to their respective currency - ie things that Takara has nowhere near any degree of control over.
Not saying anyone on this thread thinks Takara itself is the reason for the high prices, but yeesh, wander onto youtube for two seconds...

It seems like hlj is 177 how much is shipping usually from them and can I cancel a preorder from them or is it final
EDIT: I saw the price at AE is cheaper which has the cheapest shipping and wouldn't get caught at customs
Bumblebee21 wrote:Well then I guess I'll have to hlj bc I don't want to pay upfront and I want to be able to cancel if necessary.
What's there shipping policy do they have it somewhere on there website I can never find it

I dont know their shipping policy, but maybe Ironhidensh can help you out with that, he deals a lot with them (I dont deal with HLJ at all).

You can cancel a pre-order right up to the point they request payment, and that doesn't happen until they've received their stock.

Okay thanks.
There should be reviews out by then, if I need to cancel .
EDIT:Ironhidensh I just saw your post. So if I want a couple weeks delivery it should be cheaper right.

I do truly believe that the orange plug issue is only for US sellers and not the consumers/buyers/fans themselves. But I do understand that you dont want to be the one person this happens to and be stuck without a toy you spent money on.
So this is the best suggestion: wait.
LoL so patience is not a strength of mine. I am leaning toward sucking it up and getting it from a domestic retailer, especially since I found one who told me they're going to get them without the orange plug. I figure I'll pay the premium as insurance. If customs opens and siezes 1 out of 100,I'm usually that 1 lol. But like you said, this won't sell out, so I panty of time to make a decision.
Can you not just remove the plug after you open the box?
I'm sure you can. I believe many people who order from BBTS do just that. Not sure how clean the plug comes off and how much work it'll take to take it clean off, but the plug really is a secondary concern. Not having it seized by customs is my bigger concern. I think I'm too risk-averse to try and will end up paying the "insurance" by getting it domestically.

Nothing wrong with asking questions. From what I know, you're new to collecting so it's good to ask and learn from everyone elses experience.
Another option you might want to consider is wait for the subsequent second run. By then you'll have copious reviews and you'll know for certain of any potential QC issues.
