The Energon Pub

Hi there everybody!

Although I love Transformers since I was a child, I haven't bought so many figures of the series since I bought the combo of Star Saber and Victory Leo of the Robot Masters series.

Well, I'm a big fan of Star Saber, and the news about the future appearence of a Masterpiece figure of him has excited me a lot. I need that figure when it comes out! xD

So, as I say in teh title of the thread, I'm a bit noobish with these figures, and I would like to ask some questions to the people here:

- First of all, what places do you recommend to buy a figure like this? I am from Spain, so my only option is importing the figure I guess.

- What price should I expect for a figure like this Masterpiece Star Saber? I know it won't be cheap.

- When do you think it will come out? I know it's difficult to know it, but just as a refference.

- Any recommendation for when I buy the figure? Like watching out some webs that sell false copies for example?

Thanks.

Hola!

Welcome to seibertron.com: warning may contain nuts!

OK as to your questions:
Best places to get them from Spain would be a Japanese retailer like hlj.com, the moment they put up their pre-order you should order it through them. Pre-orders at Japanese retailer are cheaper than Japanese retail price, which is cheaper than what you woudl have to pay via imports from European or US stores.
The shipping shouldn't be too insane, they have multiple options, just pick the one that's best for you. And with shipping you're still saving money as opposed to a different importer.

Starsabre will likely cost between 120-200 USD, based on his size, we have no real clue to how much he'll really cost.

It will likely come out near the end of the year, December most likely, that was the case for the last anniversary Masterpiece figure. (Rodimus)

Get it the moment the pre-orders show up, cheapest you'll be able to get him, plus it's going to be the real deal.

In addition, and for Spain in particular, I would look out on Iacon Toys (Spain based) and Kapow! Toys (UK based).

Other than that, bienvenido/a a Seibertron.com!

Ah, I know Hobbylink Japan, I imported some things from there. Added to the list of shops then.

Thanks for that info, I know there's no info about the figure so we have no clue about its features, it was just for getting an aprox. idea from users with more xperience.

Oh, interesting to see a spanish shop! Added both on the list. Thanks!


The reason I said I am from Spain is to avoid you to think that I am from the USA, where I think you may have more retailers that import these collectibles.


----------------------

And another important question I forgot to make: since I knew about the existence of this Masterpiece figure, I have added Seibertron.com to my Facebook webs in order to receive knews about it and knowing all the news of the figure as soon as possible, would you recomend me any other way to get news related to this figure? I don't want to miss any new about this figure and the anouncement of its preorder...



Again, thanks for your answers, oh great and wise Seibertron members.

For the moderators: sorry for writing a title not so much clear as I did and thanks for fixing it. I'll be more direct next time.

(Ah, yes, was going to mention I changed your title, sorry about that.)

In terms of keeping up with the news, I think you're pretty covered by following Seibertron.com on here and social media. There are a couple of Facebook pages that could also be useful, but we usually make sure the news ends up here too!

Ok, thanks!

You can also try amiami and hobbysearch. Also a viable early bird alternative

Added those two recomendations more to the list. Thanks.
