Transformers Asia Reissue of Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime

I preordered too. The release dated is still months ahead and I figured out I can cancel anytime with BBTS.

Do you mean Takara, or Hasbro Asia?

I was under the impression that Takara was Japan only and Hasbro has a division dedicated to most of the rest of Asia.

It will be Takara but a few websites in Asia had preorders for them.

so $160US + $25US shipping + $40CDN customs = estimate about $250CDN? still steep, but better than $350+...
Will wait for the Hasbro announcement... since YOTH Op Prime was $150, I would think this will come in at the same price point.

I would just pre-order it. since you can wait for Hasbro's announcement and rest assure that you have one. All you need to do if Hasbo do have a re-issue, just cancel the BBTS one.

Automaton has it and would be cheaper.

Yeah but doesn't automaton charge you for cancelling pre-orders? They don't guarantee pre-orders but still charge you if you want to cancel, what a racket.

And automaton charges you tax.... so prob wont end up cheaper.
