It's been two years but the Tokyo Toy Show is finally back! And with it comes the Japan Toy Awards 2022 where Masterpiece Gattai Shouki has won an award in the "high target toy division" (according to Google translate). OK, so it actually lost the top grand prize spot to Bandai Spirits' over $700 GX-100 Gaiking set and it's more of a runner up "outstanding performance award" in that category, but they only give out four of those in each category so it's still an achievement! And it lets them stick a silver Japan Toy Awards logo on their website (as seen below) and possibly even the figure's box, though there probably isn't time for that on the first batch due out in less than two weeks.

Dang that's awesome I was trying to avoid getting these but the more I see them the more I feel I might regret skipping them

TF fan Justin M reached out to let us know that Transformers MPG-03 Yukikaze is available on Amazon Japan which is a site many international fans get their Masterpiece Transformers from. Not only is it usually one of the places to get them for cheaper but you also get them quicker than most other retailers thanks to their shipping. Right now, the base price for the toy without taxes is 14809 Yen (you HAVE to add to cart to see this no tax price appear). That converts to $110 USD. Of course depending on where you are located, the shipping and customs fees will change, making it less of a deal.

Here is the link: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Transform ... 245&sr=8-1

(See above from Monday). Anyway, I hope the price does come down. My base price is 16,290 Yen currently.

No, it isn't. You didn't read the article, even though I put it all caps in bold.

I read the article, I just had the wrong screenshot. My apologies. But still a higher price than stated. I know shipping/ taxes etc will vary, but as you say, this is before all that.

Amazon.jp doesn't ever show me the base price, even when I put it in the cart. I wonder if what they show differs from country to country for tax purposes.

I can't recall...I know Amazon US doesn't charge your card until the ítem ships.... does Amazon Japan charge right away?

Yukikaze looks a little weird, but I like it. I really like the aesthetic of these figures. and that Raiden face is something I like.

I placed my preorder though Amazon JP. 15,731 yen base, 18,167 total cost, so right now about 135 shipped. Not too bad.

This is actually one reason I'm willing to give Deep Discount a try on this one since their base price for the pre-order is in USD and not JPY. The yen is at a pretty unusual low versus the dollar right now and I think there is a better chance of it going up by the time amazon.jp would start charging than there is of it staying the same or going lower.

By that same measure I'm really glad I locked in the first 2 in JPY with amazon.jp.

Playing the next 3 out will be interesting, especially if deep discount comes through with no issues on this one.

Just don't use a debit card.

What is wrong with using a debit card?

Nothing, they do a card hold but it'll go away after a few days.

Yes, however if that debit card is linked to your primary bank account and you are light on funds when you pre-order, it could screw you if other bills come in while the hold is on, whereas a credit card won't affect you in that way. The hold will be temporary, but the timing could be a disaster if someone didn't know and wasn't prepared.

Well yeah, but that's just a reason to be cautious, not a reason not to use it at all.

I am aware that holds on debit cards are common, but I've ordered all 3 MPG from Amazon Japan now with my Debit card from a credit union, and never had a hold placed on my orders. Perhaps it depends on the individual financial institution?

Nope. They have a different policy for Debit cards. When the item comes in they charge it, as a temporary hold. By the time you actually get the item they put ANOTHER charge through on your card, it often caused me to have a negative balance in my PayPal account and I believe was one of the reasons that PayPal closed my account back in October.
