You guys know I'm not either.
But I'm now proud to be a Canadian.


WTF!?! Seth Rogen is a Canuck?
What kinda funny juice does the government taint the water with up there? :lol:


HA! I was hoping youd have another WTF moment. I loved how you didnt know Jim Carrey was a canuck so I wrote all the most wtf ones hoping for another moment like this. I thought Drake was the most baffling, but Seth Rogen did it, and thats fine too.

Also, since I am in this thread, here is something I bought today. It's Transfomrers Go! Gaidora with an amazing headsculpt and nice dragon colors at 13$US with free shipping. Pretty great.

That is a great mold, and a repaint I can get behind, especially for that price. Thanks Will!
....Aaaaaand bought.

Glad I could help. I know that for many users these posts of mine might not be news but it is so often that there is free shipping to US and not to Canada (or elsewhere) and it makes a huge difference on the deal, and those are quite hard to find (amazon wont tell you until you are about to pay for it). So when I spot them, I'll post them.

Oh and Kanrabat, I asked Rodimus about this one and he found the price incredible and told me to get it.

That new head looks awesome (and kind of reminds me of one of those samurai masks and leobreaker's savage headsculpt).

I will have this mold 3 times. The red original, open and played with, the yellow repaint, sealed on display, and that shiny green one. I wonder if it come in a box or on card? If it's on card, I may keep it sealed for my "TF Sealed on Card" collection.

It's on Card

Image

It will be my only mold and will work so well on display next to Hasbro's Ripclaw.

It has been said that leaving him in the card for too long can create a stress mark on his hands so I will take him out not to make things worse. Then again if you leave him in card forever, you will never see the stress mark, if it is ever there. And while he is very cheap now, it seems all mint TFs with any bit of exclusivity (like this japan exclusive one) are eventually worth more than the price you bought it at.

I will leave it on card for my collection. I'll eventually collect one TF from each lines and keep it sealed on card. Just to showcase the differences in packaging over the years. I hang them up on the wall in my TF room. My rule is one deluxe per lines, and it must be either a toy that I already have, or a repaint. Second rule is it must be bought for cheap. No 100$ vintage bull here. Also, if there is a Thundercracker on card, it must be bought for that collection because I open my Starscreams. Which remind me, I need to buy CW scout TC.

You might not have a choice on whether to display the card - I got all the Go! redecos of the BH deluxes, and at least half of the cards simply fell off the bubbles (or vice versa). I also got them super cheap off Amazon, and they ARE amazing redecos. :D

Wut? Meaning that the bubbles hand by a thread on the cards? Seesh. If it open by itself, or if the card come too beaten up, oh well... He will be open and the boring red one will land in storage!

Dude if they were like that out of the box from Amazon let them know. They'll give you a partial refund if you want to keep the card. I've gotten a TON of figures cheap that way.

That's a good question, I want to say yes since I had a few GI Joes that were shipped by Amazon (Prime) but sold by a third party retailer.

In that case the answer is probably NO, because as I stated, they toy in reference is NOT shipped and sold through Amazon. You are talking about a completely different scenario since your was shipped by Amazon.

That actually makes sense. To be honest I usually avoid 3rd party sellers because 9 times out of 10 they jack their prices up disgustingly.

Oh I totally hear you and agree. It just so happens that the Transfomrers Go! line was not as well recieved or at least not as well as Takara had envisioned and there is a bunch of excess product out there. Just like the Sonokong Beast Wars toys actually. Hence why for once, the 3rd party sellers were very cheap. Those Go! toys are hald what they are selling for at BBTS right now.

That actually makes sense. To be honest I usually avoid 3rd party sellers because 9 times out of 10 they jack their prices up disgustingly.


Oh I totally hear you and agree. It just so happens that the Transfomrers Go! line was not as well recieved or at least not as well as Takara had envisioned and there is a bunch of excess product out there. Just like the Sonokong Beast Wars toys actually. Hence why for once, the 3rd party sellers were very cheap. Those Go! toys are hald what they are selling for at BBTS right now.


I know. I'm kicking myself for paying full price for the Ninja team and GoEx Prime


At least, YOU didnt paid 120$US for DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime. #-o #-o #-o

It was new. It was at the end of spring. It wasnt supposed to come out until December over here and at 100$+tx. It was already out in the USA for some reason. I wanted it NAO.

So I bought it from Ebay, expensive shipping and all.

DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime finally came out in Canada... in August... at 80$+tx... Urgh...

That's why, never again will I go out of my way to buy the new thing early. I still find that figure pretty awesome, but man, did I overpaid for it.

Also, fawk U MP Bee. Fawk U. I will NEVER buy any MP TFs from BBTS ever again. (120$ for him too, for fawk's sake.)

My amazon.co.jp super nice deco Hound came in already. They are super serious about this two day shipping thing! Two days and here from Japan. Man, just nuts. Guess I'm still one of those people amazed at how fast things ship now, used to take 6 weeks to get Gunpla kits from Minnesota when I was young.
