I am so damned lucky I wasn't drinking anything when I read that. Otherwise I would've needed a new computed.

Now you're making me want this again.

Would make the perfect glyph figure then

Nah, Glyph was more toy-accurate.

I learned two things from an Amazon.jp email this morning:

1) Bee 45 has been pushed back till late November.

2) I’m a dipshit who didn’t follow up to make sure my pre order cancelled, and now I’m past the cut off date.

Enjoy your overpriced deluxe, napkin-origami, derp-faced, cleavage-showing bot!


Make me think back to when I bought the OG MP-Bee, I made the mistake to buy it full price from BBTS. Add shipping, exchange rate, and custom fees, it amount me to over 100$US!
Having waited just one year or two, I could have gotten him for half that price or even 20$US when I bought another one live at Toys R Us because the box was badly damaged and the toy was clearly used and returned. It was fine BTW.

One more reason why I don't preorder anything anymore.

I'm actually suprised you ordered it in the first place, its not like mp 45 has ever hidden itself away.

I always pre order new MPs, just to give myself time to think, and still not miss out if I decide in the positive.

At least it'll have great articulation. That's one (perhaps, the only?) saving grace of this... thing.

I won't know. I'm not even going to take it out of its shipping box. As soon as it's in hand, it goes on Ebay.

Hope you'll at least get back your cost. Especially because eBay take one HELL of a cut when you sell something.

Not really.

You gonna check if there are issues with it first? Because if it's only the buyer that finds out, you may end up losing everything to a paypal claim. Transformers collectors on ebay are a ruthless bunch and MPs have a crap track record as of late.

If its sealed in box, I'm good to go. I make my listings very clear. I've had several try an pull that crap on me over the years, and I've won every case.

Just put it as a buy-it-now for what you paid plus shipping, then add 20% or 25% to the price to compensate the Ebay and Paypal fees. Use eBay's Global shipping program if you are American. Let it sit long enough and someone will buy it eventually.

I said not really to Ebay's fees being high.

I've been ebaying since 2003, I know how to play the game.

Me too I've been selling on Ebay since a long time. Last sale I did was the G1 Action Masters Sideswipe that I sold for around 250$CAN. I had to pay almost 50$CAN in Ebay and Paypal fees combined for this sale. The listing had nothing fancy to it.

Dunno if it's different rules for Americans, but this here Canadian had to pay the price for the privilege of selling on the widely used Ebay platform.

All fees for me come to just a hair under 10%.

Dunno what I did wrong, but I keep getting gimped by Ebay.
So you'll just have to increase your total price by 10% then. Unless you'd want to get rid of him faster, I'd do 20% just so that I have at least some profit for my troubles.

Noticed the same thing with my MP Blackarchnia. I wanted to cancel my Amazon JP pre-order after i won her from another source, but I was 2 months too late to cancel.

I'm hesitant to recommend this but you could just not pay for it. I'm not sure how that would effect your being able to pre-order from Amazon Japan in the future but it is an option.

I wouldn't do that. I don't like not paying and risking it

Same here. Feels too shady for me. The thing that really sucks, is resisting the temptation to open it when it arrives.
