Same here. That set is amazing, but I'm really going for Illyana/Magik and Dormammu.

I'm glad that they are giving an actual date for the beginning of this yearly online hellish experience. Likely they have it 2 weeks later to allow for the product to ship back from the convention. I'm also hoping there's plenty to go around, as well as a smooth experience in trying to purchase them.

Instead they tried to do a "premium version" only to be outshined by Takara and a host of cool 3rd party upgrades for the cheaper version.

Its such a niche deco aimed towards comic readers. But new heads (new characters) would have made the recipe for a better sell. Maybe a 3rd party can offer something to make the fem clowns more desirable.

Don't know if this is news, but since people have been talking about a shortage of them, I'll post it. Deluxe Arcee and Chromia (the non-Hunters ones) are on BBTS under new arrivals.

Thanks! This thread is the perfect place to post this

@ hobbysearch, Devastar Y 21250. around $ 40 less from the regular price of $ 201.35. Just remember, they automatically use EMS

Is the regular price really 201.35$ or is that just the markup put by takaratomymall for buying online? Because all the evidence shows that the actual retail price for all Takara products in Japan is actually the discounted price Amiami and other sell it for, about 18000 Y.

hobbysearch's prices are more to the level of hlj in pricing. As Amiami is the Big Kahuna in discounts (with the exception of artbooks )

Oh man, you are totally right! Hobbysearch is indeed the closest price to what you would get at Japanese retail. Here is Drift for instance at 2250 Y http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10333938

And at retail in Japan he was found for 2125 Y http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/june-takara-tomy-transformers-adventure-toys-available-and-found-at-japan-retail/33333/, so less by 1$.

Although I am still trying to figure out what the deal is with that inflated MSRP.

I have no idea what that is, but I do know we're competing against IT guys using T1 lines so speed and skill are paramount.

Refresh the home page because there will be a link there. Some people have tried doing searches for SDCC and Comic Con but that's not a guarantee to work. FYI I've now heard that the stuff will go up between 9:30-10:30AM EST

Another reminder: if you want stuff just to sell for profit, go after the Magic cards (if they even did those this time around?) and the Stormtrooper. The TF stuff will totally not increase on the secondary market. Totally. No reason I'd say that on a TF board or anything

Do NOT tell people to go after the Stormtrooper for profit

I want one too, but it's totally happening anyway so no harm in joking about it right?

I can vouch for that storm trooper, the hasbro booth at SDCC was overwhelmed. And this being a big year for star wars, the SDCC exclusive will be uber wanted online. Not for long term, but for the short term, it will be a very in demand item.
