After a brief uptick in early August to around 75/76 Y per USD, it has dropped to a new low of 70 Y per USD. Now that I hopefully have my issues sorted out with Amazon.jp (which delayed me getting the first release), I should hopefully have no issues this time around. I have to admit, getting him shipped for anywhere between $115-$120 USD as opposed to $150 is easier to justify, especially as he is a smaller bot.
I know Getsuei has been seen on display at conventions in Japan, but hopefully in hand pics start showing up soon (and not the dubious broken ones shown a couple of weeks ago).

Same here as well as Diaclone Powered Convoy (ouch, it wasn't a cheap month).

It hasn't been a cheap two months.

Just curious, did you pay extra for priority shipping? Mine shipped Saturday the 24th, but isn't expected to arrive for another week or so. I'm just glad it shipped, but I was just curious.

also put him in leg mode to compare to Legacy Menasor. Raiden will be around the same size as Menasor

First off...wow you got it fast
Did you pay for express shipping? I'm in CA, and mine shipped on Saturday the 24th. Estimated delivery is Oct 7. I know it will arrive sooner than that, but I still don't see any updates other than it left Japan on Sunday.

I am cheap, so I always pay minimum for shipping costs
o.supreme wrote:Sorry I didn't see your response in the other thread. Man that is odd. I just paid standard shipping also... Unless Amazon.jp ships the long way around the earth (going east instead of west) .
