Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings

Greenlight has retreated from her high of $55 to a little less high $43.

Honestly considering BBTS for Lancer, $28.73 CAD before tax
Shipped to myUSaddress facility, bop over and pick it up, should be way cheaper

If only could do Greenlight the same way, alas

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings

The bill came in and MP-47 Hound ended up being $176.30 shipped from AJ. Not too bad.

Is the rise in price for Greenlight due to running out of stock in Canadian warehouse and they're shipping it from the States? The price looms like it was converted from a foreign currnecy.

I noticed that happening last year with Novastar. For a while, it was $20 and then fluctuated to $35 before settling at that price.

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings

Right now MP47 Hound is half price on Amazon japan.
9854 JPY, it is about 117 CAD
https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E.../dp/B07SPWN6Z5


The building quality must scare the shit out of Japanese, so they are clearance this toy now.


I have my MT Hound, won't bother to buy it even at half price.

Japanese are not that keen on Transformers... most MPs and MPMs see deep discounts at one point of the time on Amazon Japan. Even the most fragile or unsellable of Arcadia Valkyries, Sentinel Riobots, Bandai Chogokin/Chogokin/Metal Build, etc seldomly go on clearance. Most MPs and MPMs have way below MSRP preorder prices unlike other Anime related mechas in general. Even TakaraTomy new Diaclone renditions are selling more and faster.

The fragility of it may not help, but TFs are not huge sellers over there to start with.

I'm pretty sure it's related to the bad review and returns.



Just look at the rate.

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings

Nothing break or crack on my MP Hound after I transformed it from vehicle to robot back and forth multiple times, however you have to be extremely careful when transforming just in case of any breakage on the toy. It's understandable some parts may break because of the complex transformation. It is a lot sturdier once you transformed it into bot mode. I should've wait for a sale though
