Strange.

I clicked the link in the confirmation email. I created an account and it shows three orders, but no status. Each one marked with an A, B and C. I'm waiting on a chat with them.

Hmmmmmm. I immediately created an account after placing the order, and everything showed up in my orders profile. Just logged back into my account to check.

I created my account before ordering, and have no issues, yet. Payment status Authorized, fulfillment status unfulfilled.

I also checked my bank account and the charge went through.

Same, I'm starting to think they cancelled the one order and split it into three. Still waiting for an answer. My post was more of a "hey, check yo ****" just in case kinda thing.

Oh sure! And I appreciate it. Collectors helping collectors. Peace, love, and harmony!

Update for anyone who may have seen the same thing - I'm good to go. They broke the orders up into three because they were pre-orders.

paypal option isn't functioning/available, decided to wait, preorder for six-gun went up to $19.99

Are the deluxes still $9.99? I'm seeing $19.99. No Skytread, no Sideswipe

Yeah, the prices jumped after they sold out.

Well ****, that didn't last long.

The site looks nice though.

Seeing in some chats I'm in that a bunch of people who ordered the deluxes at $9.99 had their orders cancelled due to the price error.

They also marked the Rescue Patrol or whatever it's called to $19.99. Those are actually supposed to be $10 fools!

Just checked mine, still says unfulfilled and priced at $10.59.

Sometimes patients is rewarded. Buying new figures straight from Japan can be expensive, especially when $100+ is becoming more and more the norm. But if you wait long enough the deals begin to surface in places that may not be part of your normal online toy hunt. Just like with any other Amazon in any other countries Amazon Japan has some periodically great deals including some Takara Tomy exclusive Transformers for as much as 62% off! And what's really helpful is that the site has an English language option. And their international shipping is usually super cheap and surprisingly fast, typically averaging around $11 per item (to the US) and less than a week! Below you'll find a few of the best deals running right now, but keep in mind the prices fluctuate often. Also keep in mind that the price you see includes an 8% sales tax that is removed at checkout.


Encore Micron Unicron 8,001 JPY ($71.49 USD) 60% off


Power of the Primes Nemesis Prime 4,427 JPY ($39.56 USD) 45% off


Masterpiece Movie MPM-7 Bumblebee 6,288 JPY ($56.18 USD) 37% off


Encore Big Convoy 5,256 JPY ($46.96 USD) 34% off


Encore Beast Wars Returns Convoy 7,600 JPY ($67.91 USD) 62% off


Unite Warriors UW04 Devastator 16,241 JPY ($145.11 USD) 35% off


Unite Warriors UW01 Aerialbots 9,961 JPY ($89.00 USD) 34% off


Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-34 Cheetor 5,299 JPY ($47.35) 24% off (pre-order)


Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime 3.0 33,471 JPY ($299.06 USD) 32% off (pre-order)

There's a lot of similar deals found throughout the store so if you're looking for a good deal or are willing to wait for a good price drop consider using Amazon Japan as an option.

Those prices are great, especially for UW Devy and Superion.

Between this and the Siege line, my wallet's gonna need therapy.

I spotted these at 5 Below last Friday, they rang up for $4 instead of the marked $5.




I was only interested in one of them and he was pretty easy to find.



The box was so light I thought it was empty.

The links don't take you to the figures btw. May want to fix that...

This is amazing as I never thought about ordering from Amazon Japan. I have always pre-ordered from online shops here in the USA.

I just picked up MP-44 for $310 shipped, about $150 less than if I bought it domestically and MP-45 for $94 shipped versus $130. Once I changed the UI to English and created a new account it was very easy.

I was on the fence for MP-44 primarily based on the price but at $310 that's enough of a deal to justify the purchase.

Amazon JP is great. Their prices are as low as the other Japanese stores, but the 1200 yen shipping is unbeatable. I've bought a few SOC and MP figures through them, and have had OP on PO for a while. Really hoping they get SOC Voltron too!

Oh man, I am hoping for SOC Megazord. its apparently getting a reissue this year.

So, if you already have regular Amazon and a Prime membership, do you have to register separately for Amazon Japan?

Those are really great deals, just a shame that Amazon JP (or US for that matter) don't ship to Switzerland

Yes, they are independent.

Ok, so how am I supposed to order from Amazon Japan? I created an account so I can order MP-44. But it states "This seller for the item you selected does not deliver to your selected location.". I tried to check out anyway, and it won't ship to my location (Illinois).

Thats because if you check you'll see its no longer being sold by Amazon Japan but by a 3rd party seller. All preorders from Amazon japan are now sold out.

The seller has to be Amazon. I just checked and it's not available. I've noticed it has gone in and out of stock for direct Amazon sales for the last few months. I would just check back often.

Hey guys quick question as I’ve never ordered from Amazon Japan before. Do the prices fluctuate that quickly? I went to get the devastator and it’s like 2000 yen more than the news article states.
