Maybe I should wait and see if Artfire will go on sales after release?

I fully expect all the firetrucks to go on sale eventually. This is a niche within a niche market.

It's a good point. They might be widely available after release - or even cheaper preowned. Megatron might be the one being difficult to find after release.

Quick question about mp28 Hot Rod, can he hold FP Sidearm?

Has anyone ordered MP Primal and Inferno from Anime-export? I know it was the holiday rush, but it's been very close a full month now and I still haven't received anything.

Just thought I'd ask around before contacting them on the matter.

What shipping did you go with? If you went with RSAL don't expect it till at least mid-late January. RSAL is crazy slow during the holiday season, last year I ordered some things in november with RSAL and didn't get my stuff till end of January.

I guess that must be it then. On the invoice, they call it "Registered mail/Insured mail". Whatever option was the cheapest was the one I selected.

I've ordered from anime-export multiple times in the past with that cheaper/slower option and stuff would show up decently quick with only a few weeks time to wait. I guess it must really be the holidays, then.

Thanks for your input!

Glad to hear I'm not alone. Still sucks waiting that long, though
