Nice and Pre-ordered HLJ might be a little more but they are faster and have better customer service then most others. Because I did P/O this Slayback will once again get his order in and shipped before I get mine lol... that guy is killing it with the times that he gets certain figures.

Hi guys,

I pre-ordered from AE, but am wondering if I should transfer my business to HLJ. A lot of people is saying that HLJ has good customer service, but I didn't hear any bad stories about AE. What do you think?

To be honest I ordered with HLJ instead of AE because I need to save up for Hot Rod, otherwise I would have gone for AE's lower price (but they want their payment up front). Although I do agree with what people have said as I've had better dealings with HLJ compared to all other Japanese e-retailers, with NY coming in at a close second.

Honestly it was like Sophie's Choice deciding whether I'd go for MP Laserwave too or be content with Quakewave. In the end the "poetry" of having two 3P versions of two major MP Decepticons (Apollyon and Quakewave) convinced me to just order Hot Rod.

Ordered both with HLJ. My future order list looks pretty sweet on HLJ.

Thanks man. I'm trying to make sense of all this. Now that N-Y is accepting Canadian dollars, I may go with them. But can someone let me kow what to make of this...

HLJ - MP Shockwave
13440 yen
111.75 US (according to their site conversion rate)
112.06 US (according to XE conversion app on my phone)

HLJ - MP Hot Rod
6400 yen
53.30 US (according to their site conversion rate)
53.40 US (according to XE conversion app on my phone)

HLJ doesn't accept CND dollars so there would be an additional conversion rate through PayPal or Credit Card.


N-Y - MP Shockwave
11420 yen
100.50 US (according to their site conversion rate)
95.21 US (according to XE conversion app on my phone)
130.19 CND (according to their site conversion rate)
123.58 CND (according to XE conversion app on my phone)

N-Y - MP Hot Rod
5680 yen
49.98 US (according to their site conversion rate)
47.39 US (according to XE conversion app on my phone)
64.75 CND (according to their site conversion rate)
61.84 CND (according to XE conversion app on my phone)

I'm just trying to gather whether paying in Canadian at N-Y is actually beneficial to me. Cause it seems N-Y is padding the conversion rate on their site. I may be misunderstanding the numbers though.

I'm going to add shipping costs as well from N-Y. I used US dollars just for comparison.

Do these sound reasonable?

Shockwave
ECO Registered 24.11 US (46.02 for two)
EMS 35.20 US (59.84 for two)

Hot Rod
ECO Registered 13.55 US (20.59 for two)
EMS 17.95 US (31.68 for two)
