Makes the choice easy. And this isn't a shot at BBTS, but maybe they could learn from it. Why would I as a Canadian buyer ever buy from them knowing I'll get hit with charges when I know I can buy for similar price from TFSource and never get hit?

I'll have to remember this for my Jazz and Skylinx reissue. I've already got them preordered from BBTS but it seems i've got time to make changes. My Ironhide and Rachet have already shipped so i'm stuck eating customs charges on them.

That's actually not a bad deal for $105 shipped; it's essentially the same price as A3U was charging.

This is by no means a shot at TFSource, but what you just mentioned there is as truthful as people who claim that parcels sent under a certain dollar amount (or under that amount) are never hit by customs; last I recall, I got charged the "handling fee" when Customs stopped that Reissue Magnus I had ordered from TFSource.

MP05 is selling for ~$50 in HK/China right now, seller is making extra money on the high shipping.

One problem though. TFsources inventory is, in a word, abysmal. If you happen to need something other than G1 (vintage and reissue), those G1 accesory packs, or Takara collector figures BBTS is what you need and not tfsource.
