I normally purchased my transformer re-issue / imports from a japanese toy store locally in Illinois, but they have recently stopped carrying most of the good stuff.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a place to order the "encore" reissues online?
- i'm definately looking forward to the omega supreme re-issue.

Try BBTS or ActionHQ.

BBTS tends to hike up their prices a bit, but their shipping within the U.S. is very reasonable. ActionHQ has cheaper prices for their stuff, but shipping is usually quite high seeing as they come from Hong Kong.

Both are very reliable in my experience.

I like TFsource. They're excellent. BBTS is good too.

I am gonna go with Lost and Found Toys (laftoys.com). I have only ordered from them once (MP Megs, Encore 05 & 06), but their prices seem pretty reasonable to me, and the packaging on that order was awesome.

Digital-Toys has them all in stock for very decent prices:

I bought my Encore Starscream & Prime from them.

How about this newer sponsor, etoysjapan.com? The prices are very low compared to all of the aforementioned, Encore Jazz is only twenty bucks for example. Has anyone used these guys yet?

Someone told me on this site that their shipping is quite high, but I havent used the calculator on their site. If the shipping is reasonable, they would probably be worth a shot.

I've purchased a few TFCs and all the existing Encores from etoysjapan. Even if you include the shipping cost from Hong Kong their prices are still better than many of stores already listed. I usually play around with adding an additional item until I reach the point when the shipping goes up. Sometimes you can get 2 or 3 items added for just a few dollars more.

Customer service is good too. Once they shorted me a few items and they sent them the missing ones right away once I notified them.

Only down side is USPS requires a signature to accept international packages, so if you're not home then you'll be waiting in line at the post office.
