Honestly, ebay. I paid 54 and some change USD from BBTS.com. Thats the going price of 44.99 plus shipping. But you can get him for just under 50 with shipping on ebay.

Oh, and believe me, he's worth it.

35.49 USD. Probably the best deal you'll find anywhere and only two are in stock. Better act fast.

Greattoys. PHP1400 or around USD 34.14 only. All original TakaraTomy stuff. :grin:

robotkingdom.com has him for $29.90 and it looks like shipping would be 15 bucks. Never ordered from them, but they have pretty good prices. No idea how their customer service is and if/how well they speak English if you encountered any issue, though. Too bad shipping isn't just a bit cheaper; then their prices would beat most "deals" on eBay...but I suppose they look to be shipping overseas so how much cheaper can it really get?

o RLY? I guess that means I should be expecting my preordered Henkeis in the mail then?

No, you still have a few weeks of waiting ahead of you if you ordered from 3&up... They have decent prices, good customer service, and all that jazz...but their shipping takes for-friggin'-ever!

I know, I went through the epic 'Wait for MP-05 from A3U' of 2007. And I picked mine up in-store. :lol:

It's not their shipping that takes forever per se, it's their supplier sending the stuff from Japan.

My source is still the cheapest at USD 34.14 only or PHP1400 (excluding shipping cost)! :grin:

Well, it took over 3 weeks for my items to show up AFTER they sent an email saying they were shipped. Either I'm just too impatient, they lied, or they're slow... My biased opinion leans toward choice C.

And I'm still waiting for a blight "saber" that I was shorted on a Prowl KO from them...but I suppose it could also be that they changed their minds and decided not to send it after all. If that's the case, I take back the good customer service comment, but for now I claim they're just friggin' slow as heck.

If we're excluding shipping 29.90 is still the cheapest. Shipping would determine the cheapest option...

I would say slow as heck, not only in shipping but answering emails as well. I know the owner somewhat, great guy, but I think he's trying to run the online operation all by himself. He's an extremely busy guy, so that would explain why stuff is slow.

That, and whomever his suppliers from Japan are, they suck ass, because they don't even give him definite counts and arrival dates of shipments. He's not getting his stuff directly from Takara, hence why his stuff is still coming over from Japan when other online retailers are already shipping orders out.

But yeah, good customer service and great prices though, so for me it's worth it. If I were you I'd remind them about the saber though.
