At first I was dismissive of this Magnus. But view that way, it is indeed really cool.
However, the damn thing is MORE EXPENSIVE than many MP figures at full price. Like, damn...
As for that Megs, he look like a straight reissue of the regular Studio Series toy. What a waste. Takara could have went the extra mile to give him an accurate chest, but no.

Magnus is ¥8,917 on Amazon Japan, I don't understand the discount you calculated

The link you posted says 14,900:
Not entirely sure why the base price changes depending on where its shipped, if they still add on shipping separately. But it does.
It appears the price for the U.S is in fact 8917 Yen.
Odd it would change based on where its being shipped. But such is life.
Still cheaper through AmiAmi regardless.

Maybe it depend of your location because "screw you" I guess.
On my end, it's below 9K yen too:
Still way too absurd of a price though. Better just get the vanilla Siege or Netflix version. He's still available like plague rats and I have a still a spare sealed Siege myself.

Already have the Netflix Magnus. The only thing I like about this version is the gray evil looking unarmored Magnus. But not for that price. I can happily skip it. Besides I still want to get a cheap Kingdom Magnus just for the earth mode, so don't think I need three of him.
I may get Megs from AmiAmi though since he's a more palatable $46 bucks there. and it pretty much what the regular one is going for anywhere I see him any way.

Yours is 15K yen plus 9K yen of shipping.
That's not just a "screw you". That's being dragged on the muddy street by the hair in the rain to get shotgun'd in the gut and kneecaps.
Where do you live to get such "hate" from Amazon.JP?
And I didn't say he should be black, I said I'd get him if he was.Overcracker wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I would have gotten that Magnus if he was either black instead of gray and/or his Earth mode. But I don't like the gray or the Siege mold.
Technically the color scheme and the mold is actually accurate to the on-screen representation. Why would they do something to make it not accurate if they are going for onscreen accuracy?
This is Magnus as he appears in the show after Megatron blasts him. He was not the Kingdom remold and we has in fact gray not black.
