Plus, you can buy Snarl from amiami for the same price as BBTS and I am certain shipping within japan from amiami is cheaper than shipping from the US

For the bolded part, are you talking Hasbro or Takara Power of the Primes? 'Cause I just looked and it appears only singles of Takara are available (with many sold out), and on the Hasbro side, you can still just preorder Wave 2 sets, no duplicates, of all of the size classes including deluxes, with a few individual ones available (like Rodimus Unicronus). Or was the comment in reference to something else?

I am talking about Hasbro only. Because since the guy asking a question is in Japan, I wouldnt think he would buy Takara figures from BBTS and have them ship to Japan.
Hence why all of these questions confuses the **** out of me. They are the same toys. So if you are in the US, buy the Hasbro release from a US retailer. And if you are in Japan, buy the takara release from a Japanese retailer. I have no clue why anything else would be considered.
Also, this is the Legends thread. So, let this be the end of the POTP discussion here. If anyone wants to continue it or respond, then simply quote this and copy paste it in the POTP thread.
You're right there. Just to clarify, I wanted to know if it was the same price or cheaper to import the (identical) US POTP figures to Japan, or buy the (identical) Japanese POP (Power of Primes) in Japan. Usually, Japanese TFs are a little more expensive than US ones.
Ironically, if all these new toys are identical, maybe there won't be a need for two threads!?
Yes, but the upcoming new line isn't called "Legends", it's called "Power of (the) Primes".
I'm not requesting a new thread, just pointing out that the figures MIGHT be the same and the name MIGHT be similar, so who knows about what happens to the threads? No problem either way, though.
I just ordered Takara's Snarl and Grimlock from Amazon Japan. I could have SWORN that I already ordered the full wave prior to this. Were those two waves released after the likes of swoop and Darkwing, etc?
