Optimum, what do you have against the paint? Just curious. Is it because its not the "traditional" look for Scourge/Nemesis Prime?

Sorry to post 2 things in a row, but does E-hobby deliver to the US? Has anyone ordered from them before, or do you need to use other places like BBTS or TFSource? I just don't know 'cause I very rarely get Japanese figures.

The only E-hobby toy I own came from eBay, so I cannot answer with any authority. But I suspect you will have to go through another retailer such as one of those that you mentioned. I shall be happy to be told I am wrong, however, if anyone does happen to know differently.

Try a proxy Japanese provider. Hope this helps.

Hmmm.. Never dealt with one of those before and I'm concerned that I may not get the product or the shipping is too high. Oh well, I guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope that he shows up on BBTS, TFSource, Chosen Prime, etc..

sigh. nope. not at that price

[Yotsuyasan]

I hear you. But frankly, that's not too surprising a price. Takara figures tend to be more expensive in the first place, then you can usually double it for e-Hobby exclusives. I'm just happy this isn't a figure I'd have felt a need for. (Only e-Hobby exclusive I ever felt I had to have was Orion Pax.)

[megatronus]

Totally ordered. About $65 for an eHobby exclusive voyager isn't too bad. Especially with a Scourge deco (that gold be damned).

Have to agree with the above. I also ordered one, thanks for front-paging this news.

Not that much more expensive compared to AU prices for Optimus Prime. Ordered one! Hopefully they have some "exclusive" limbs as well.

Do we know how long the preorder lasts? Even though this is a great price, I might wait a little bit before deciding to order him.

You should preorder now before they sell out. They don't charge you anything until it's in stock anyway, and you can always cancel anytime before it comes in-stock.

I think I'll have decided by Friday or Saturday, y'reckon they'll still be in stock? I hope so considering the pre-order just went up.

The point is, why risk it?

Just place the order now. HLJ doesn't require pre-payment, and you can always cancel the order if you decide you don't want it.

Thanks guys! Now I feel a bit safer about placing my order and suddenly on a whim wanting to cancel it (seriously he looks amazing, only thing keeping me on edge was the Takara price tag)

Not sure hlj will carry him. BBTS most probably as this is a ehobby exclusive.

Moosey, the f#ck of a hobby we have is indeed expensive. You need to ask yourself if this item is really worth your effort. Once you get over that try these following steps.

I assume you have a PayPal account?

Try inquiring at BigInJapan. Create an account with them.

Ask them if they would/could get this for you.

Proxies usually require immediate payment

You will have to also pony up for their "proxy" fee

Pay the shipping and maybe pay the taxes once delivered to your address.

[megatronus]

HLJ has the preorder up. First. Before BBTS and other retailers. That almost never happens unless they know they're getting the product.

hlj does e-hobby releases? Fascinating.

Apparently so... just look at the title of the thread and/or the news post.
