Mine was $455 in December. The price still isn't too bad comparing it to other websites (most are charging $550 and up).

Re: MP-44 just shipped!!!

Ya, my total ended up being just over $500 CAD. The dollar to yen rate has steadily decreased since last Dec. If only I had known that, I could have paid back in Dec. (via Amazon GC's). But thats the risk when it comes to exchange rates. Oh well, I had the money saved up so it is what it is. And I should be getting MP44 today, so I'm happy with the shipping times thats for sure.

Yeah, that sucks. But $500 is all inclusive with shipping and tax. Compare to local EB price of $599.99 + tax! We also got ¥895 ($11) back.

Re: MP-44 just shipped!!!

Re: MP-44 just shipped!!!

Brief recap.

498 cad shipped.
15 cad shipping + 63 cad customs

So really, that was a 420 cad toy... which translates to 315 usd today. Not too bad.

In december, it was a 390 cad toy... which translates to 292 usd.

The real problem here is the value of the Canadian dollar.

Re: MP-44 just shipped!!!

Yup I also paid $500 for red windshield wipers! Only real complaint at the moment, but I haven't had time to even transform him. Oh well, I didn't have an MP-1 or a 10.
