Paid and on its way.

Time to sell my LG Optimus Primal it seems.

Why no keep both? Thats what I am doing. I just love how that original mold incorporated all those gimicks and weapon storage.

I never pass up an opportunity to ship plastic gorillas across the country.

AmiAmi has requested payment for Primal. So now its just a waiting game.

[Va'al]

Get your best memes out, as we have a whole load of plastic gorilla figure to show off courtesy of toy blogger Alfes2010 - Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP32 Beast Convoy has arrived! We get to see the accessories and poses that the new incarnation of Optimus Primal brings, along with - finally - a size comparison with the Ultra class toy from the show and the Deluxe Telemocha version too. Check them all out mirrored below!

[Sabrblade]

The Deluxe is the RobotMasters version, while the version of the original Ultra is the Legends version.

I'm so glad the MP isn't quite as big as the original Ultra. Aside from his Optimal Optimus form, Optimu Primal is not some giant behemoth who towers over everyone else. Both Rhinox and Dinobot are taller than him, even.

Looks like both BBTS's and TFSource's preorders with the flail are sold out. Anywhere else still have the flail version preorder?

Yeah, but, for a U.S. consumer like me, RobotKingdom's a last resort since their shipping rates are usually astronomical. Is there no other option at this point?

If not, how much would the shipping be for that Primal w/ flail set from RK?

No clue, but you should be able to calculate shipping before paying for the item. And no, thats it for preorders, the other place (like ages 3 and up) dont have the asia version.

But why dont you just buy the standard MP Primal and then get the flail seperately on e-bay for $20 ? Thats what quite a few of us are doing.

Looks like BBTS still has preorders up. They are here at http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12328&mode=retail.



EDIT - Okay, and now BBTS is out again. I swear to God that was just available. I literally just ordered one and then canceled my non-flail order.

Curious. This bad boy is in stock at HLJ, yet I haven't received my payment request yet.....

I havent recieved a notice from anime export either.

Does anyone know what the peg slot on his left arm is for? It's been bugging me since the first prototype. It looks like it can maybe fit the pegs from his sword handles but I don't see the point in that.

Heh, literally 5 minutes after I posted this, I got my notification.

Mine still says "awaiting release". At least that explains why I didnt get an e-mail.

Holt ****, but shipping at HLJ went up.

Can you give us the details. How much did it cost you last time and for what and when? The US$ rose actually so I thought it would hurt you less. Would it have been better to just pay $119 at BBTS?

Well, it's been awhile since I shipper a single item. When MP Ironhide came out, I paid $14 for the fed ex 5 day.

I just paid $23 for Primal, and I thought they would be similar.

They should be similar, do you have the shipping prices in yen to compare without dealing with exchange rates?

1720 for Ironhide.

2380 for Beast Convoy.

Still cheaper to import, but not by much.

Thanks man. And yeah, not by much. But you probably get to have him quicker

Also, you could always get him cheaper if you picked the less expensive option for shipping.
Lastly, the Convoy box is bigger than Ironhide's. That could have triggered one of those price tresholds, bringing your box up to a higher level of shipping cost.

Just gave this a try and, while the lowest shipping rate is an unholy $32.00, when I factor in RK's listed price for the set as $95.90, the total amount of $127.90 might actually be cheaper than purchasing the set from BBTS, whose listed price is $127.99 before shipping.

So, word to the wise, RobotKingdom might actually be the better deal for this set depending on the shipping rates to any of yall's locations.

So the race is on to see who gets this bad boy first.

I know it won't be me. I'm going with the cheapest shipping to save money, whose estimated shipping time is listed as 2-4 weeks. But I've been patient this long, so I shall continue to be.
