Transformers TLK-EX Optimus Prime & Orion Pax, Set of 2 [Amazon.co.jp Limited]


https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%80%90Amazon-co-jp%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%E3%80%91-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-EX-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%83%91%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9/dp/B073ZXSK2R/ref=sr_1_10?s=toys&ie=UTF8&qid=1534860991&sr=1-10&keywords=Orion+Pax

Yeah, I saw it, but the shipping is as much as shipping MP BW Megatron and they dont combine shipping for some reason. The shipping osts as much as the figures in this case.

Sure man, the shipping is a little more than i would like in general for AJp but this is in the correct ballpark for average shipping from them for an average item; usually 10-15 bucks.
The BW Megs shipping price is actually lower than it should be due to its size, as they gave it a generic weight when they put up the listing. Instead of an accurate weight , they gave it a supplementary weight which skews the perception of what it should cost to ship. The closer we get to Megs date, and they get an actual weight for the item, that listing will probably be corrected for to compensate, once the listing goes active again.
In short, you are right, it is not the cheapest shipping but for an exclusive EX 2 pack from JP, it is not so far out there for someone who missed out on a domestic Amazon release.

Yeah, that OP/OP set s about 30-35 US $ shipped, which isn't bad at all. It's pretty close to what it sold for on Amazon originally. I missed out when it went live. Ordered that set from Amazon.jp last week and it was delivered Monday. Bummer that I'm out of town this week.

Shipping hurt my butt, but I had to look at total price to me. I may try and sell my OG WfC OP to make up for the cost.

Lol, yeah the WFC/ FOC Primes are piling up after a while.

So does anyone need yet another stop on their cheap TF hunts? Yeah me neither, but have one anyway.

Spotted TLK deluxe premiere Drift, Crosshairs and Strafe at Tuesday Morning for $9.99 each.

Normally not a place I visit, but there is one in the parking lot of where I'm working this week. Their inventory is pretty rando so YMMV.

Oh! Good to know. I have 3 in town. Maybe Lord Cogsworth will show up there.

That was my hope as well. They had the three boxes stocked sideways and packed in tight with other toys and I couldn't clear mKe out who was who. Got excited for a sec.

We have few spread around town back home.

Tuesday Morning is a great hunt spot. The one nearest to me closed a couple years back; they opened up right across from a Christmas Tree Shop so i think they just got boxed out of their spot. It is a great spot for Brave series KOs as well. i do remember getting some great deals on Movies 3 and 4 toy overstock there though.

I checked the one closest to me yestaerday. They had a full case of, I believe wave 1 TLK Deluxes. No Clogham though.
I did however find the last remaining Rogue One 3 3/4 inch figure I needed for $4 that completes my collection. So, the stop wasn't a complete wash.

Hey Cobo, did you also collect the 3 3/4 Last Jedi figures? They were only 1$ at Walmart for me (and that means 77 cents US) so I went for a few and even opted for that Force Link thing (only 6$). While i hate the film, I wont argue that there were cool parts but I was dissapointed to know the Benecia Del Toro toy doesnt stutter. That might have been worth a 1$ purchase just for the jokes, but no stutter no buy.

If ever those TLK deluxes drop to 4-5$, I would not mind getting a Wave 1 BB or Slug or Slash

All the clearance SW figures I've seen at Wally were $4. I did see a few undesirables down to $1 before they got sent to salvage.

I think $8 the best you'll see at the discount retailers. I've rarely seen deluxes below that even at the salvage stores I haunt.

The stores in the states seem to be on to us and hip to values. I've seen old video games at goodwill as high or higher than ebay. That is if they even allow them to go to a store now. Goodwill has some online presence or uses ebay now. I can't remember which. Same reason thrift store finds are rare here.

Edit: goodwill does their own online auction https://www.shopgoodwill.com

Greetings All,

Currently PotP Voyager Inferno is available for the first time on HTS. Additionally 33 total items are currently in stock (Only Throne and Legends Slash show "out of stock"), with a 15% off Promo Code of AUG18 (that unfortunately seems to only work with wave one toys) this is an excellent opportunity to snag a great bulk of the PotP line

I know its not something anyone is looking for, but its a great price for a movie grimlock toy from the era where takara versions were different from Hasbro

Been on the hunt lately for the ROSS/TJ Maxx/etc deluxe Cogman, so far I have only found turbo changer cogman, deluxe "walmart" hot rod, and oddly enough, I found legends dragonstorm for 3.99! Been hunting him and legends hound for a while, so kind of happy with that all at ROSS, for some reason TJ only had rescue bots new.

now i gotta go there?!

i wonder how much we have missed by not going?

Going on now Fred Meyer is having sales on toys which includes Transformers. If you have not yet picked up all of the figures you wanted from The Last Knight this may be one of your last chances to do so at retail. First off there is a deal if you purchase 30$ worth of food you get 30% off of all toys. The pictures below show you what deals are going on for specific Transformers toys. Legion class figures from The Last Knight are $5.38, One step changers are $7.19 and deluxe class figures are 14.99. It is possible the deals are able to be combined but we cannot confirm that at this time. We hope that this helps you out!

i wonder if food benefits (yeah i have them) could used for the food part
then again i dont care for the last knight

Now I'm sad. Legion Dragonstorm and Hound have been on my list, and somehow they are at Ross too, which I am now checking more regularly and still haven't seen them

dont get your hopes up they rarely ever get anything past the first 2 waves and they never carry any figure larger than voyager but they have been getting the studio series but very few generations
its mostly the crap nobody wants or already has

So my favorite new hunting ground, Tuesday Morning, is having some sort of toy sale/clearance. This is a YMMV deal as not all stores have the same stock but Hasbro is included. Look for the orange tags.

Did we know that Ollie's is getting TLK Hot Rod?

Because they had cases of JUST TLK Hot Rod.

You know what, my town needs a **** Ollie's already

At least you live in an area that can support an Ollie's
