Nothing but high-priced scalper bait as far as I can tell...

[big dawg]

not really. the stuff that is expensive on amazon is the stuff fulfilled by other shops. If you get stuff offered directly by amazon it could mean great prices- ultimate gift set for $15-20, jetwing prime for $55, people have been getting their titan class metroplex earlier from there than any other retailer for $135 with free shipping, people getting springer and bliztwing weeks before the big retailers for cheaper. I don't see this as anything but a good thing for candians. any other outlet is awesome

i'm looking forward to them having stock of items I can't even find in retail stores! it really annoys me that my local stores usually only bring in one case and only the first person to grab it gets the item...why do they have such insufficient stock levels! grrrrrr

Yeah the Transformers section right now is nothing but third party scalpers, but lots of items directly by Amazon have some good price. SHFiguart Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and D-Arts Megaman for exemple are all fullfilled by Amazon at a decent price.

I got my Generations Springer off Amazon. Good price, good shipping - amazing toy.

Looks like Amazon specifically has listings for the BH Ultimate Op ($60), and a generic listing for an Ultimate Construct A Bots set ($39.99). I'm interested to see what their pricing and selection will be like as time goes on.

Also, Bluefin/Tamashii Nations USA has said that they're going to be selling directly through Amazon Canada later this year; so they'll be an option for the officially imported Figuarts.

If their Transformers prices are on par with those in the states when they start selling their own, I'll be buying a lot from them.

I want to know if they're gonna be selling the Predaking exclusive, as well as Metroplex. Don't see preorders yet.

It'd also be nice if UPS wasn't such a pain to pick up deliveries from if, say, you work during the day like most people.

I know right? What's the deal with their depot being open from like 9 to 12, 13 to 17! That's such bullshit, at least open during lunch hour! You guys can eat at 1 pm like normal people in the service industry.

I get all my amazon.ca stuff delivered to my dad's office since he's there all the time Heck I could probably get it delivered to my job too if I wanted.
