There’s no special program unless you have bonus credits from before. Might be because ON is further from japan than AB? more likely its just price fluctuation just like our amazon |

Re: Amazon.JP Transformers Sightings
Could be he's just not including the Shipping in that cost
Item Subtotal: ￥ 17,259
Import Fees Deposit: ￥ 2,132
Order Total: ￥ 19,391
PLUS
Shipping & Handling: ￥ 1,600
Final Total: ￥ 20,991
Weird if it's based on distance from Japan as the Import Fees Deposit should be based on Country. But the above is for here in BC at the time of this post.

Re: Amazon.JP Transformers Sightings
Here's the breakdown on my preorder, shipping to Manitoba:
Items:￥17,259
Shipping & Handling￥1,600
Import Fees Deposit￥2,321
Order Total￥21,180
There seems to be some variation in the import fees, although not a lot.

Re: Amazon.JP Transformers Sightings
Not sure if it is just me, but I have noticed the MP price from Amazon.jp dropped significantly after it gets released from time to time. The preorder price always seems higher. Don’t think I will preorder any MP from here on. I think I overpaid on Hound and Sunstreaker by almost 4000 yen.

Re: Amazon.JP Transformers Sightings
I went with Amazon jp. So he'll likely be around 260cad when all said and done. Still up there for a barely season 1 character but still he'll look great on the shelf with my BW

Does anybody know - if these figures have QC issues, will Amazon Japan take care of you?
ShowZ & TFDirect both list "no after-sales service"/parts from Takara.

Re: Amazon.JP Transformers Sightings
I’ve never heard of takara admitting fault for qc let alone send out replacement parts. The exception being the bungled godfire reissue voice clips. Most 3p companies provide replacement parts, usually free if it’s a known issue.

Good point. Guess I'll be preordering through ShowZ then! |

I haven’t had to do it but Amazon Japan will accept returns, but you will have to pay for the courier shipping upfront and they will reimburse you. This is for things sold and shipped by Amazon Japan... markerplace sellers will vary.
I have had to return a new Diaclone thingy back to Hobby Link Japan once due to missing parts. They did ship a new replacement to me and reimbursed my return shipping (which is more expensive then having the thing shipped to me from Japan). |

Yeah, it's like a $5-$6 difference. I changed my order to Amazon Japan a while back just to get it earlier. |

I agree and for awhile I was contemplating cancelling Tigatron but when I checked last week I was unable to cancel. I mean, I don't buy a lot of TF's these days, and the G1 MP line nearly none of the, at this point, so putting that money to MP Beast Wars is something I can justify but also think the price isn't justified. That said I have only been impressed with the MP BW line so...yeah. |

Yeah, my last official MP purchase was Black Arachnia. She cost almost as much as MP Ultra Magnus back in the day.
There was a time I would buy the official MP to display and then a KO for messing around with. Now, I'm all KO for the MP line.
I remember how 3rd party figures were the expensive items compared to the official stuff. Now, buying 3rd party figures seems to be the cheaper option. It's Bizzaro world I tell ya. |

Amazon Japan has a short cancel window for MP preorder for over a year now. i think it's around 3 weeks after the preorder becomes available. |

Re: Amazon.JP Transformers Sightings
Got mine just after lunch! Probably my favourite Beast Wars MP yet. Bigger than I expected. I always get so stressed transforming any MP for fear of breakage. He wasn’t nearly as bad as MP-43 and 44 though.

There was, but Amazon JP closed their preorders. The item usually open up again after the release date though. |

Re: Amazon.JP Transformers Sightings
I was on the fence about this one, but finally decided to pull the trigger. The price is the lowest I've seen it, comes out to about $176US if anyone else is interested.
