Magnus is ¥8,917 on Amazon Japan, I don't understand the discount you calculated
The link you posted says 14,900:
Not entirely sure why the base price changes depending on where its shipped, if they still add on shipping separately. But it does.
It appears the price for the U.S is in fact 8917 Yen.
Odd it would change based on where its being shipped. But such is life.
Still cheaper through AmiAmi regardless.
Maybe it depend of your location because "screw you" I guess.
On my end, it's below 9K yen too:
Still way too absurd of a price though. Better just get the vanilla Siege or Netflix version. He's still available like plague rats and I have a still a spare sealed Siege myself.

Yeah, screw anybody who dares live outside the U.S. or Canada.
Already have the Netflix Magnus. The only thing I like about this version is the gray evil looking unarmored Magnus. But not for that price. I can happily skip it. Besides I still want to get a cheap Kingdom Magnus just for the earth mode, so don't think I need three of him.
I may get Megs from AmiAmi though since he's a more palatable $46 bucks there. and it pretty much what the regular one is going for anywhere I see him any way.

Yours is 15K yen plus 9K yen of shipping.
That's not just a "screw you". That's being dragged on the muddy street by the hair in the rain to get shotgun'd in the gut and kneecaps.
Where do you live to get such "hate" from Amazon.JP?
And I didn't say he should be black, I said I'd get him if he was.Overcracker wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I would have gotten that Magnus if he was either black instead of gray and/or his Earth mode. But I don't like the gray or the Siege mold.
Technically the color scheme and the mold is actually accurate to the on-screen representation. Why would they do something to make it not accurate if they are going for onscreen accuracy?
This is Magnus as he appears in the show after Megatron blasts him. He was not the Kingdom remold and we has in fact gray not black.
It doesn't transform because it's not a Transformers toy. It's an Action Force toy of a human soldier wearing armor that's simply colored in homage to Waspinator, but isn't Waspinator at all because Waspinator isn't a human.Nemesis Reformatted wrote:And I had to order the Valaverse Botcon Wasp Raider because I go nuts over bee/wasp/hornet themed figures & I freakin love Waspinator. That was another $57 like buying a leader class that doesn't Transform. It's a total rip-off but it's just too awesome to pass up.

If you don't have any of the previous two Netflix versions, this is the one to get.

Studio series, not the inferior-to-the-netflix version.
As for that one, i only have the arctic camo G2 version, and outside of the SG one that is the only version of the mold I will get

Oh, you meant the SS 2007 movie version.
It's still a great toy, but there's barely any difference between the regular release and this one. If you can find the original Studio Series at a reasonable price, go for that one instead of grossly overpay for the "premium."

I already have that one, and this one actually does have a lot to offer. the bronze adds a lot of background to the armor detail, and the weathering is great on it. It adds a lot more than you might think

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
jtanimator wrote:WHAT. IS. THE. DIFFERENCE.
But seriously, I know that if I took a side-by-side look from the original vs these I’d find something, as will likely everyone who responds to this lol, but the fact that I can only notice a lack of battle damage on Starscream as the only difference here really agitates me. Especially since they're charging almost TWICE as much for these. With each new reveal, I’m progressively shocked at the poor choices they make for figures to repaint, and the incredibly mediocre job they do. And none of this would even bother me in the least if they weren’t charging SO much for these. I keep thinking there’s some sort of catch to these things.
