I've ordered the Accessories, I can't wait for all the new guns.

prime looks so awesome in those colors but to pay that much for a figure that comes with a dvd i wont be able to play... its expensive... i have some thinking to do...

I also plan on getting the BTS Accesories, it's more affordable and useful.

Hmm... all the different trailer adaptors are a cool idea, but I just wouldn't use them. So I'm really only interested in the Hot Rod gun, and the upgrade trailer arm, since the regular one is kind of weak. So far it's a maybe.

I preordered the ROTF Black Prime directly from Amazon.jp for about $154 shipped and that includes the legend class stealth Bumblebee. Same as with BBTS, Amazon.jp does not charge your card until the item is in stock and shipping so you can still cancel anytime.

I'm so tempted to get the set from Amazon.jp!

When I think about the cost of a normal Blu-Ray DVD, a normal RotF Leader OP, and Legend class BB, $154 shipped doesn't sound so expensive.

In Canada, I'm looking at $60 for RotF Leader OP, $30 for a new Blu-Ray DVD, and maybe $8 for Legends BB. That's without taxes applied. $154 shipped isn't unreasonable considering it's within normal the normal range of extra cost for exclusive items. Hmm...

Is everybody sleeping? I don't get it why would someone buy the 2 disc special edition ROTF DVD with the black and yellow Leader class Optimus Prime on BBTS, when everyone can buy it directly on amazon.co.jp, thus much cheaper. And that amazon.co.jp exclusive includes also a Legends Stealth Bumblebee. I've already confirmed with amazon.co.jp and both figures are part of that exclusive package and also they confirmed that they can ship this internationally (by DHL or Fedex). Buying at the source is always cheaper, and they also only charge payment at shipping time. My pre-order for this one is about 114 euros and is to be sent to Portugal.

I've bought from amazon.jp before (Japanese CDs), the only thing bad about that is that its shipping is a killer.

What's the Amazon shipping to the US, ballpark, for this? Anyone know?

Edit: nevermind, it's 22.00, not too shabby. Pre-Ordered on Amazon.jp.

That's only if the currency exchange rate is still the same when it ships in December.

Ordered from Amazon.jp.

Pricey, but no more than MP Grimmy.
